Description
Search is changing — people increasingly ask ChatGPT or Perplexity a question instead of Googling it, and if those AI answers never mention your brand, you're invisible to a growing share of buyers. CrowdReply checks whether AI chatbots are actually recommending you, the way an SEO tool checks your Google ranking.
CrowdReply tracks brand visibility across multiple AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and others — 7 models total), with prompt tracking, competitor benchmarking, and citation-source intelligence to show which websites the AI models are pulling their answers from. It layers on a social-listening and engagement engine (posting responses to relevant conversations) and a backlinks marketplace with 40,000+ vetted publishers. Pricing is Starter $99/month (1 brand, 20 prompts, $50 in engagement credits), Growth $299/month (3 brands, 75 prompts), and Enterprise $499+/month (10 brands, 200 prompts), plus pay-per-use engagement credits ($7-25 per comment or post). A 7-day free trial requires no credit card, and there's a 30-day refund guarantee.
💬 Our review
The short version: CrowdReply is positioned in the newer 'AI answer engine optimization' (AEO/GEO) category rather than classic social monitoring, and if you're already worried about AI-chatbot visibility, it's one of the more complete tools doing both tracking and remediation (backlinks, engagement) in one place.
This is a different niche than Threadlytics or Octolens, which watch social platforms for what humans say — CrowdReply instead watches what AI models say about you, which is a newer and less crowded space with fewer direct competitors. The subscription-plus-credits pricing model (base tracking fee, then $7-25 per engagement action) means your real monthly cost depends heavily on how much outreach you actually do, so the advertised $99/month Starter price is a floor, not a ceiling. The 40,000+ publisher backlinks marketplace is a genuinely distinct feature few AEO-tracking tools bundle in — but it also means CrowdReply is asking you to trust it with both measurement and remediation, which is worth scrutinizing since a tool grading its own remediation work has an obvious incentive to claim success. If you just want to know where you stand in AI answers, cheaper single-purpose tracking tools may suffice; CrowdReply earns its price if you actually plan to act on backlinks and engagement, not just monitor.
