The difference that matters

Being found by AI is half the job. Getting chosen is the other half.

SearchScore AI helps track whether AI mentions you. It stops there. SearchScore measures whether the people AI sends actually become customers, because visibility you can't convert doesn't pay the bills.

New in the Tracker

Similar name, different product.

The names are close enough to be genuinely confusing, so it is worth being concrete about what this Tracker does rather than trading on the overlap. It asks a fixed set of buying questions of six AI engines on a schedule, records who gets cited, and tells you what to change. Two additions in July 2026 say more about the approach than a feature list does.

We take points off our own score on purpose. A question containing your brand name is excluded from the headline citation rate and the competitor table, because an engine echoing your name is not evidence that it recommends you. That makes the headline number lower and more honest, and the report explains the exclusion where you read the figure.
You can overrule the engines, visibly. AI answers get things wrong. Mark a cell as not really cited, a hallucination or wrong sentiment and your scores update, with every correction listed beneath the heatmap alongside its note and a one-click undo.

Practically: 5 tracked questions on Founders, 25 on Starter, 50 on Pro with every Pro question asked twice, across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek, weekly as standard.

30-day score guarantee

We guarantee your GEO, SEO and CRO scores all improve within 30 days, or we work for free until they do.

Common questions

SearchScore vs SearchScore AI, answered.

Is SearchScore the same as SearchScore AI?

No. They are separate products from separate companies. SearchScore (searchscore.io) is based in London and founded by Ronnie Huss. SearchScore AI (searchscore.ai) is a product of DareAISearch. They are not affiliated.

Is SearchScore a legitimate service?

Yes. SearchScore is operated by Product Specialists Ltd, a UK-registered company based in London. It has audited over 1,000,000 websites, publishes a public leaderboard and the quarterly SAVI Report, and lists verified client results including FileSeal ranking #1 in ChatGPT vs DocuSign.

Is SearchScore AI a legitimate service?

Yes. SearchScore AI is an operating product from DareAISearch. We list it here only to help users distinguish between two similarly-named tools. If you are trying to reach SearchScore AI, their domain is searchscore.ai.

How much does SearchScore cost?

The audit diagnosis is free with no email required. The prioritised fix list is email-gated but also free. Paid plans: the AI Visibility Audit is from £1,500 one-off (4 weeks of done-for-you implementation) and the Monthly Growth Service is from £750/month (3-month minimum). The 30-day score guarantee applies to both paid plans.

Why do both have the same name?

Independent naming. Both companies built their products without knowledge of the other. This comparison page exists to help people find the product they are looking for.

Which SearchScore is better for my business?

It depends on what you need. SearchScore audits AI search, SEO and conversion in a single scan, includes a prioritised fix list with step-by-step instructions, tracks AI citations across 6 models (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek) with sentiment analysis, and offers done-for-you implementation. SearchScore AI is the more specialised choice if you only need AI citation tracking and want dedicated local and video search pillars.

How do I know which SearchScore I am currently on?

Look at the address bar. If it says searchscore.io, you are on SearchScore (the consultancy and audit tool). If it says searchscore.ai, you are on the SearchScore AI product by DareAISearch. Both are real businesses and they are not affiliated.

How much AI citation tracking is included in the free tier?

The free SearchScore plan includes 10 AI citation queries per week across 6 models (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek), with sentiment analysis and full response transparency on every query. The Starter tier increases this to 25 queries per week. The Pro tier raises it to 100 queries per day.

What are the best alternatives to SearchScore?

SearchScore AI (by DareAISearch) is the most directly-named alternative but covers a narrower scope. Other AI visibility tools include Promptwatch, Semactic, Otterly and Profound - each focuses primarily on AI citation tracking rather than the integrated AI search, SEO and conversion audit SearchScore covers.

Every cell in the feature comparison table is verified against each product's public marketing pages, Product Hunt listing and (where available) Crunchbase profile. We re-verify monthly. If anything is inaccurate, email hello@searchscore.io and we will correct it within 48 hours.
