ZipTie and Mentionable solve different problems in the AI visibility space. ZipTie specializes in Google AI Overviews with content optimization recommendations. Mentionable offers broader LLM coverage with simpler, straightforward tracking.
The question is which problem you're actually trying to solve.
Pricing and what you get
ZipTie's plans are built around "AI search checks." Their Basic plan at $179/month includes 1,000 checks, Standard at $299/month gives you 3,000, and Pro at $799/month offers 10,000. Each check covers all 3 platforms they track (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity), so the math is relatively straightforward.
Mentionable uses fixed monthly pricing with a 7-day free trial on all plans: €29/month Starter (1 project, 15 prompts), €89/month Pro (3 projects, 50 prompts), or €179/month Agency (unlimited projects, 100 prompts).
The price gap is significant. ZipTie's minimum is $179/month. Mentionable has a 7-day free trial and paid plans starting at €29/month.
Where they differ
The biggest distinction is LLM coverage. ZipTie tracks 3 platforms: Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. Mentionable tracks 5: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok.
No Claude. No Gemini. No Grok. If you care about how those platforms recommend businesses in your space, ZipTie won't help you there.
But ZipTie offers something Mentionable doesn't: content optimization recommendations. They don't just tell you whether you're visible. They tell you what to change, with specific suggestions like "add comparison tables" or "restructure your headers." That's actionable guidance you can implement directly.
ZipTie also supports multi-country tracking across 10 countries (UK, Canada, Australia, and more) and integrates with Google Search Console to tie AI visibility to your existing SEO data.
Mentionable keeps things simpler. Enter your URL, get prompt suggestions, start tracking. No content recommendations, but pricing starts at €29/month instead of $179/month.
Which one fits you?
ZipTie makes sense if Google AI Overviews is your primary concern, you want specific content recommendations (not just monitoring), multi-country tracking matters for your business, you have budget for $179+/month, and you're an SEO professional optimizing content regularly.
Mentionable makes sense if you want to try with a 7-day free trial before committing, you need Claude and Gemini tracking (ZipTie doesn't cover these), broader LLM coverage matters more than AI Overviews depth, €89/month or less fits your budget better, and simple tracking is enough for your needs.
The bottom line
ZipTie is excellent at what it does. If Google's AI features are your focus and you need actionable content recommendations, the $179/month investment makes sense.
But 3 platforms is increasingly limiting as AI diversifies. No Claude, no Gemini, no Grok. Mentionable covers more ground for less money, though without the optimization guidance.
Try Mentionable with a 7-day free trial first. If you discover that AI Overviews is your main gap and you need content recommendations, ZipTie's 14-day trial with 10k credits is worth testing.
