Which AI engines matter most
ChatGPT has the most users of any AI assistant, so it matters for almost every business. Google AI Overviews appear above normal Google results, so they reach people who never open ChatGPT. Perplexity and Gemini are smaller but cite sources openly, which makes them easy places to win a link.
Claude, Copilot, Meta AI and DeepSeek matter for some markets. Track them if your buyers use them, but start with the big four.
Why coverage is not everything
A tool that tracks 17 engines still only shows you a report. The engines all cite similar kinds of pages: clear answers near the top, comparison tables, FAQ sections and schema. Publishing those pages lifts you on every engine at once, which is why we rank a tool that covers four engines and fixes the gap above tools that cover more and fix nothing.
How we compared them
Engine lists and prices come from each vendor's pricing and product pages, checked in November 2026. Where a vendor did not list an engine, we mark it as not covered.
