ItGrows alternatives
Both count how often AI assistants name or cite your business. ItGrows also does the work, writing articles on your own domain, and then grades the count itself against a 90-day guarantee. We do none of the work, and our count says when a change is too small to tell apart from noise. Everything below traces to their own public surfaces, read on November 1, 2026.
What ItGrows does well
- The work is done for you: setup, up to 12 articles a month published on your own domain, and a recount every two weeks, at one flat price. We do none of that work.
- Four assistants on every plan: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, with one price for every client.
- A free detailed report: 20 questions on four assistants, 80 answers, once you open a free account. Our free checkup asks one engine.
- Plain terms, copied word for word into their llms.txt. The 17 third-party statistics on their homepage that we could read at source all held, each with its publisher, date and sample size.
- They published their own zero: named in 0 of 160 answers, with the cause and the dates.
- None of their scored questions may contain your business's name, which is a simpler rule for a buyer than our split of branded and unbranded questions.
Where SEOAIO differs
The dimensions that actually separate the tools, from the full comparison:
Who does the work
Nobody from SEOAIO touches your site. Our AI CMO drafts pages on paid plans; you edit them and publish them yourself.
Engines on every plan
4 engines measured today: Perplexity, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Claude. Starter measures Perplexity and Google; Pro and Agency add ChatGPT and Claude. We do not measure Gemini.
The free report
The free audit reads your site and asks no AI engine anything. The free checkup asks one engine, Google AI Mode: up to 12 questions, 3 samples each, once per domain, and only while we have it switched on.
Other tools we have reviewed
Whichever way you go, run the free audit first: a real measured read on your own domain, no email, no card, results on the page. It is the cheapest way to know whether any of these tools has something to measure for you yet.
