GenRank is a newer player in the GEO space, focused on helping brands track and improve their visibility in AI-generated responses. They've positioned themselves with a generous free tier that lets you try before you commit.
If you're comparing options, here's the breakdown.
How GenRank works
GenRank's core focus is Generative Engine Optimization, tracking how often and how prominently your brand appears when AI tools answer questions in your industry.
Brand mention surveillance tracks where and how AI mentions your brand. You see not just if you appear, but the context and positioning of those mentions. Competitive intelligence lets you compare your AI visibility against competitors. If a competitor is getting mentioned more, GenRank shows you where and why.
Citation source tracking identifies which websites and content pieces are driving your AI mentions. This helps you understand what's working and double down on it. Content readiness assessment evaluates how well your existing content is optimized for AI visibility.
GenRank pricing
GenRank offers a free tier with 10 ChatGPT prompts, no credit card required. That's enough to test if your brand is visible and get a feel for the platform.
For more prompts and features, they offer paid plans (though specific pricing details require visiting their site directly).
The free tier is genuinely useful. You can monitor 10 key queries on ChatGPT and see real data before committing any money.
What GenRank does well
Ten free prompts on ChatGPT with no credit card is competitive. Most tools either charge from day one or limit free tiers to nearly unusable levels.
GenRank isn't trying to be everything. They're focused specifically on AI visibility, which means the product is built for that purpose rather than bolted onto an existing SEO tool.
Seeing where competitors are getting mentioned, and you're not, gives you actionable data to improve. And knowing which sources drive your AI mentions helps you prioritize content and link building efforts.
Where Mentionable takes a different approach
Both GenRank and Mentionable offer ways to get started without commitment. GenRank has a free tier, Mentionable has a 7-day free trial. The main differences are in LLM coverage and prompt setup.
GenRank gives you 10 free prompts but only on ChatGPT. Mentionable's paid plans include all 5 LLMs from the start: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, Gemini, and Claude.
GenRank requires manual prompt setup. With Mentionable, you enter your URL, we suggest prompts based on what you offer, and you pick which ones to track or add your own.
GenRank's paid tier pricing isn't as transparent as some competitors. Mentionable has clear pricing across all tiers.
Which one fits you?
GenRank makes sense if:
- You only care about ChatGPT visibility (not other LLMs)
- You want more free prompts to test (10 vs 5)
- You value competitive intelligence features
- You want citation source tracking
- You prefer a GEO-only tool over broader platforms
Mentionable might be better if:
- You want all 5 major LLMs tracked, not just ChatGPT
- You want prompt suggestions to get started fast, plus custom tracking
- You prefer transparent pricing across all tiers
- You're a solopreneur or small team
- You want simplicity over feature depth
The bottom line
GenRank is a solid option if ChatGPT is your primary concern. The free tier is generous, the competitive intelligence is useful, and the GEO focus means they're not distracted by SEO feature creep.
But if you care about Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or Grok, you'll need to look at their paid plans, and those details are less clear.
Try both. GenRank's 10 free ChatGPT prompts and Mentionable's 7-day free trial let you compare before committing. See which workflow fits your needs.
