SEOAIO vs CrawlTide
Their paid ads sell the exact fear we measure: you rank on Google but AI cannot see you. The difference is what happens after the click: their free check parses your HTML; ours asks the engines.
Their side reflects public pages we reviewed on August 1, 2026. Products change; if something here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it.
Where CrawlTide is genuinely strong
- A genuinely instant free tool: URL in, score out, no email, no login, and they actively buy traffic to it.
- A 12-tool free checker cluster harvesting SEO long-tail searches.
- One unified suite (audit, keywords, backlinks, content, AI visibility) for teams tired of switching tools.
A comparison that finds nothing good in the other tool is marketing. If the rows above are what you need most, they may genuinely fit you better.
| What matters | SEOAIO | CrawlTide |
|---|---|---|
| What the free tool actually measures | The free audit crawls your site and measures real on-page and crawler-access facts; the paid product samples real engine answers and stores them. | Their free AI Visibility Check scores 8 static HTML dimensions server-side; their own page states that real ChatGPT and Google AI testing is part of the paid product. |
| Typical-score claims | We publish no typical-score norms, because we have not measured a representative population, and saying so is the whole brand. | Their tool page states most sites score 50 to 70 on a first run, with no source, sample, or method we could find. |
| Engine coverage and who runs the queries | Four engines cited first-party: we run Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Claude ourselves and store every sampled answer. | Their published method is LLM Mentions via DataForSEO, a third-party feed covering ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, refreshed weekly. |
| Social proof | No customer logos render anywhere on our site until real customers agree to be named. | We found no testimonials, case studies, or third-party review listings on the surfaces we reviewed. |
| Price | $79 / $199 / $449 per month, published, with a printed fit rule per tier. | $0 / $39 / $79 / $149 per month, published on their pricing page on the review date. |
CrawlTide undercuts us on price and beats us on instant gratification, and their free-tool funnel is well built. The catch is the thing their ad promises: whether AI can see you is a question you answer by asking AI, and their free tier never does. If a static HTML lint is enough, they are cheaper. If you want the answer an engine actually gave about your brand, dated and stored, that is the product we sell.
