Key Takeaways

• All eight tools here track Google Gemini specifically, not just Google AI Overviews or AI Mode, which are separate Google surfaces often confused with the standalone Gemini model and app.

• Gemini tracking isn't always bundled in by default: Otterly.ai gates it behind a $9-149/mo add-on on every tier, and Profound only confirms Gemini coverage at its custom Enterprise tier, while AIclicks, Rankscale.ai, Rank Prompt, Nightwatch, AthenaHQ, and Writesonic include it on their entry or free plan.

• Only AIclicks pairs Gemini visibility tracking with a built-in action layer, letting a team publish content or pursue outreach directly from a tracked gap instead of exporting the data to a separate tool.

What Makes a Gemini Rank Tracker Worth Using

• It tracks Gemini as its own distinct engine, not lumped in with Google AI Overviews or AI Mode, which pull from different systems and surface in different places.

• It refreshes often enough to catch how Gemini's answers shift, since model updates and prompt rewording can change which sources get cited from one week to the next.

• It ties visibility data to a next step, whether that's competitor benchmarking, content creation, or outreach, rather than leaving a team with a dashboard and no clear action to take.

Quick Comparison

1. AIclicks: Best for End-to-End AI Visibility Tracking and Action

AIclicks tracks brand visibility across 10+ AI engines, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Copilot, using real-UI querying rather than API calls. For a team trying to understand where it stands in Gemini's answers specifically, that means seeing exactly which prompts surface the brand, which named competitors get cited instead, and which LLMs are actually sending traffic, then acting on those findings directly through its Actions suite rather than handing the data off to a separate tool.

Key features:

• Prompt Analytics showing exactly which prompts your brand appears in across Gemini and the other tracked engines, and which it doesn't

• Sources showing the specific pages and domains Gemini and other AI engines cite when answering brand-relevant prompts

• Competitor Discovery tracking how named competitors perform across the same prompts and engines

• AI Traffic showing which LLMs, including Gemini, are actually referring visitors to the site, with GA4-connected analytics

• Actions suite: Writer 2.0 writes AI-optimized content with one-click publishing to WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, and Framer, Get Mentioned surfaces where to pursue mentions, and Engage Online surfaces relevant social posts to engage with

Pros:

• Tracks Gemini alongside 10+ other LLMs using real-UI querying, not just API sampling

• Competitor Discovery and Sources data are tied to action, not just reporting

• 3-day free trial with no credit card required on Starter and Pro

Cons:

• Gemini appears as a single tracked engine without a specific version named, so a team wanting model-version-level detail, like Gemini 2.5 versus 3.0, won't get that granularity here

• Starter plan is limited to 1 website and 3 selectable LLMs, so multi-brand or multi-engine tracking requires upgrading

G2 rating: 4.9/5

Pricing: Starter $59/mo | Pro $189/mo | Business $499/mo | Enterprise custom | 3-day free trial 

Verdict: For a team that wants to understand why Gemini is or isn't citing the brand, and act on that finding directly, AIclicks is the only tool here combining prompt-level tracking, competitor and traffic data, and a built-in action layer in one platform.

2. Otterly.ai: Best for Multi-Engine Mention Tracking, With Gemini as an Add-On

Otterly.ai tracks brand mentions and average position across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot as its four core engines, with daily tracking across 65+ countries and languages. Gemini is not part of that core bundle. It's priced as a separate add-on on every plan, alongside Google AI Mode and Claude, so a team specifically chasing Gemini visibility needs to budget for that on top of the base subscription.

Key features:

• Daily tracking of brand mentions and average position across 65+ countries and languages

• Gemini available as an add-on for $9/mo (Lite), $59/mo (Standard), or $149/mo (Premium), on top of the base plan

• GEO URL audits included on every tier, from 1,000/mo on Lite up to 10,000/mo on Premium

• API and MCP access on Standard and Premium, with Agent Analytics tracking bot crawl activity

Pros:

• Competitive benchmarking is built in, not a separate report

• GEO URL audit volume scales generously even on the entry tier

• 14-day free trial

Cons:

• Gemini isn't included in any base plan, it's a paid add-on at every tier, so the advertised entry price doesn't reflect the true cost of tracking Gemini specifically

• Standard tier jumps to $189/mo before any add-ons, a steep step up from Lite's $29/mo

G2 rating: 4.7/5

Pricing: Lite $29/mo | Standard $189/mo | Premium $489/mo | Enterprise custom, starting around $1,000/mo | Gemini add-on $9-149/mo depending on tier 

Verdict: Otterly.ai is a strong pick for broad AI-mention tracking with solid audit tooling, but a team whose main goal is Gemini visibility specifically should budget for the add-on cost from day one rather than assuming it's bundled in.

3. Rankscale.ai: Best for Gemini Visibility Alongside 17+ Other AI Engines

Rankscale.ai tracks 17+ AI platforms and models under one subscription, with no extra charge to unlock additional engines, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, DeepSeek, Grok, Copilot, and Mistral alongside Gemini. Its site names three specific Gemini versions: 2.0F, 2.5F, and 3.0P.

Key features:

• Gemini tracked by specific version (2.0F, 2.5F, 3.0P), alongside 16+ other AI platforms and models

• Brand Visibility Dashboard covering 240+ countries and all languages, with 8 scheduling frequencies from hourly to monthly

• Citation Analysis showing where AI search engines cite the brand, tracked per engine

• Page Audits evaluating 94+ technical checkpoints for AI readiness

Pros:

• Some model-level detail on Gemini is available, more than most tools on this list publish

• Credit rollover up to 3x on higher tiers means unused capacity carries forward

Cons:

• The Gemini version labels on Rankscale's /facts page were last confirmed as of January 2026 and use internal shorthand rather than Google's official model names, worth confirming current accuracy directly before citing specific versions to a client

• The Essentials tier includes no monthly credit allowance on Rankscale's own pricing page, just pay-as-you-go top-ups, which makes real usage cost harder to predict than a flat monthly fee

• No published "Query Fan Out" or "Sources Box Analysis" terminology was found on the live site despite those terms sometimes being attributed to Rankscale elsewhere, worth confirming exact feature names directly before relying on specific branded terms

G2 rating: Not enough verified G2 ratings.

Pricing: Pro €99/mo | Growth €385/mo | Enterprise €780/mo

Verdict: For a team that wants broad AI engine coverage, with some Gemini model-level detail as a bonus rather than a guarantee, Rankscale.ai is worth a look, provided the credit-based usage model is monitored closely enough to avoid surprise top-ups on the entry tier and the specific Gemini version labels are confirmed current before being cited anywhere.

4. Rank Prompt: Best for Visibility Scoring Paired With Outreach Tools

Rank Prompt tracks brand visibility across six AI platforms, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, and rolls the results into a single visibility score with a per-engine breakdown. It pairs that tracking with outreach tools, email campaigns, and AI-generated articles built into the same credit system, so the same subscription covers both measuring Gemini visibility and acting on it through content and outreach.

Key features:

• Visibility score with a per-engine breakdown across six AI platforms including Gemini

• Developer API access starting at 10,000 requests/mo on Starter

• Credit-based system covering prompt analysis, AI-generated articles, brand audits, and Lighthouse technical audits

Pros:

• Outreach tools and email sequences are built into the same platform as the visibility tracking

• 7-day free trial with 50 free prompts on every plan, no separate sign-up tier needed to test it

• WordPress, GA4, and Search Console integrations included from the Starter tier

Cons:

• Brand and credit limits scale steeply with price, so a growing team tracking multiple brands will likely need to move up tiers faster than with flat-rate competitors

• Independent company registration details weren't verifiable beyond the marketing site, worth a direct inquiry before a larger contract

G2 rating: 5/5

Pricing: Starter $49/mo | Pro $89/mo | Agency $149/mo | Agency Plus $299/mo | Enterprise custom 

Verdict: Rank Prompt is a solid fit for a team that wants Gemini visibility tracking and the outreach work that follows from it in one subscription, rather than stitching a tracker and an outreach tool together.

5. Nightwatch: Best for Gemini Tracked Natively on Every Tier

Nightwatch bundles Gemini tracking with traditional keyword rank tracking in the same subscription, alongside ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot. Unlike some tools on this list, Gemini tracking isn't gated behind an add-on or a top tier here, it's included starting on the entry Starter plan.

Key features:

• Gemini tracking included on every tier, not gated behind an add-on or a top tier

• Traditional keyword rank tracking bundled with AI engine tracking in the same subscription

• Unlimited team seats on every plan, positioned against competitors charging per seat

• AI prompt and response tracking scaling from 50 prompts/1,500 responses on Starter upward

Pros:

• Gemini included on the entry tier, no add-on needed

• Combines traditional SERP tracking with AI engine tracking in one tool, useful for a team that doesn't want to run two subscriptions

• Unlimited team seats regardless of plan

Cons:

• Entry tier's 50 AI prompts/mo is modest for a brand tracking many prompt variations across Gemini specifically

• Pricing is listed in euros, so US-based teams should confirm the current dollar equivalent before budgeting

G2 rating: 4.7/5

Pricing: Starter €99/mo | Professional €199/mo | Agency €499/mo | Enterprise custom 

Verdict: For a team that wants Gemini tracking bundled with traditional rank tracking from the first dollar spent, Nightwatch is one of the most straightforward options here.

6. Profound: Best for Enterprise Teams Needing Full Gemini Coverage

Profound tracks how AI systems interpret, crawl, and cite a brand's site, with Agent Analytics showing crawler behavior across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and more. The important caveat for this list: Gemini tracking specifically is only confirmed on Profound's Enterprise tier, which covers up to 9 answer engines. The public Starter and Growth tiers track ChatGPT alone or a named 3-engine bundle, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, that doesn't include Gemini.

Key features:

• Agent Analytics tracking how AI crawlers interpret and cite a site across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and more (Enterprise tier)

• Prompt Volumes showing what people actually ask AI systems, to align content strategy with real demand

• Up to 9 answer engines tracked on Enterprise: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek, and Claude

• SOC2 compliance and SSO/SAML available at the Enterprise tier

Pros:

• Raised a $96M Series C in February 2026 at a $1B valuation, a signal of continued investment in the platform

• Enterprise tier's 9-engine coverage is the broadest named engine list among the tools reviewed here

• Dedicated Slack support included at Enterprise

Cons:

• Gemini is not confirmed as part of the named engine list on the public Starter ($99/mo) or Growth ($399/mo) tiers, only Enterprise, which requires a custom sales conversation rather than self-serve sign-up

• No true month-to-month pricing is published, listed prices reflect annual billing with two months free

G2 rating: 4.5/5

Pricing: Starter $99/mo (only ChatGPT) | Growth $399/mo (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) | Enterprise custom (up to 9 answer engines including Gemini) 

Verdict: Profound is worth considering for an enterprise team that needs deep crawler-level analytics and can commit to a custom Enterprise contract, but a team specifically chasing Gemini visibility on a self-serve budget should confirm engine coverage before signing, since Gemini isn't part of the named Starter or Growth engine lists.

7. AthenaHQ: Best Free Entry Point for Gemini Visibility Tracking

AthenaHQ is an AEO and GEO platform tracking visibility, citations, sentiment, and competitive movement across AI platforms including Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. It's the only tool on this list with a genuinely free tier, Essential, that includes Gemini tracking rather than reserving it for a paid plan, alongside an autonomous Athena Citation Engine that drafts and executes content fixes for citation gaps it identifies.

Key features:

• Free Essential tier with $25 in credit (300 credits), covering ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude

• Athena Citation Engine (ACE), an autonomous agent that analyzes content gaps and drafts on-brand optimizations

• Starter tier tracks 9 named models for 3,600 credits/mo

• Monitor, Insights, and Action Center framework connecting tracking data to content, outreach, and commerce workflows

Pros:

• Genuinely free entry tier that includes Gemini, not a stripped-down trial

• Autonomous content-fix drafting goes further than most tools' recommendation-only approach

• Customer results cited on-site include a claimed 23x citation-rate growth, worth verifying against the underlying case study before quoting it to a client

Cons:

• No prompt count or crawl-frequency figure is published on the pricing or platform pages, making it harder to compare tracking depth against competitors with published prompt limits

G2 rating: 4.9/5

Pricing: Essential Free | Starter $295/mo | Enterprise custom 

Verdict: For a team that wants to confirm Gemini visibility before committing a budget, AthenaHQ's free tier is the lowest-risk way to start, with a credible upgrade path if the Citation Engine's automated fixes prove useful.

8. Writesonic: Best for Query Fanout Visibility Into Gemini's Sub-Queries

Writesonic tracks Gemini as part of its Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) suite, with in-app modules named Prompts, Citations, Prompt Explorer, Sentiment, and Brand Explorer, alongside an AI Bot(Traffic) Analytics module tracking crawler and referral activity from AI engines. Tracking, content generation, and site audits are bundled into the same pricing tiers, with Gemini covered starting on the entry Starter tier alongside ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.

Key features:

• Query fanout tracking showing the sub-queries Gemini and other engines generate from a single prompt

• Gemini tracked from the entry Starter tier alongside ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews

• Full Action Center covering content, citations, and technical fixes

• Sentiment analysis included starting at the Growth tier

Pros:

• Gemini included from the entry $99/mo tier, no add-on or Enterprise requirement

• Query fanout view adds a layer of diagnostic detail most competitors don't show

• 10-platform coverage at Enterprise is among the broadest reviewed here

Cons:

• Starter and Basic tiers track only 3 named engines, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews; the full 10-platform list requires Enterprise

• Documentation pages showed different monthly prices for non-annual billing than the main pricing page, worth confirming the exact current rate before quoting it to a client

G2 rating: 4.7/5

Pricing: Starter $99/mo | Basic $249/mo | Growth $499/mo | Enterprise custom 

Verdict: Writesonic is a strong pick for a team that wants Gemini tracking with sub-query-level diagnostic detail from the entry tier, without needing a custom Enterprise contract to unlock it.

How to Choose a Gemini Rank Tracker

• If Gemini needs to be tracked from day one without an add-on or an Enterprise upgrade, AIclicks, Rankscale.ai, Rank Prompt, Nightwatch, AthenaHQ, and Writesonic all include it on their entry or free tier; Otterly.ai requires a paid add-on and Profound requires Enterprise.

• If budget is the main constraint, AthenaHQ's free Essential tier is the least expensive way to start tracking Gemini, while Otterly.ai and Profound's full coverage push toward $780-1,000/mo at the top end.

• If the tracking needs to lead directly into content, outreach, or technical fixes rather than sitting in a dashboard, AIclicks' Actions suite, AthenaHQ's Citation Engine, and Rank Prompt's built-in outreach tools each close that loop in a different way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Google AI Overviews the same as Gemini? 

No. Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode are separate Google search surfaces, while Gemini is Google's standalone AI model and chat app. Several tools on this list track them as distinct engines, and a couple of the tools reviewed here, Profound at its Starter and Growth tiers, name AI Overviews without confirming Gemini coverage in the same bundle.

Which of these tools track Gemini for free? 

AthenaHQ's Essential tier is free and includes Gemini among its five tracked engines. It's the only genuinely free option in this list; the others require a paid plan or add-on to track Gemini.

Is Gemini tracking included in every plan for these tools? 

No. Otterly.ai gates Gemini behind a $9-149/mo add-on on every tier, and Profound only confirms Gemini in its named engine list at the custom Enterprise tier. AIclicks, Rankscale.ai, Rank Prompt, Nightwatch, AthenaHQ, and Writesonic all include Gemini on their entry or free plan.

What's the cheapest way to track Gemini visibility? 

AthenaHQ's free Essential tier costs nothing and includes Gemini, the least expensive option on this list.
