The best tool to track your Claude mentions is Hikoo, which covers Claude across 9 engines and turns tracking into an action plan, with a free entry point. One trap shows up in every roundup, the coverage a vendor advertises is not the coverage on your plan. Profound and Goodie AI publish the widest catalogues on the market, and both still keep Claude behind an Enterprise quote. Geoptie is the simplest way to get Claude without talking to a salesperson, from $49/month. The key takeaway, Claude names your brand far more often than it links to it, so track mention and citation as two distinct metrics.

Hikoo
Hikoo tracks Claude within coverage of up to 9 AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Grok, Mistral's Le Chat, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode) and turns tracking into an action plan. Spotlight continuously monitors your mentions and clusters them (product, brand, trends, competition) with per-country performance. Analyzer audits each page and scores it 0 to 100. Battlemap exposes Source Intelligence, meaning the sites (review, forums, blogs, media) that engines like Claude rely on to cite a competitor instead of you. Elevate prioritizes actions by estimated impact. Claude coverage unlocks on the paid plans. The Scale plan unlocks the 7 conversational engines, on top of the 2 Google engines that can be added on any plan, 9 in total.

Profound Agents then helps produce and distribute content aligned with brand voice. Watch which tier you pick, the two self-serve offers (Starter $99/month on ChatGPT only, Growth $399/month on ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews) do not cover Claude. Claude tracking sits on the Enterprise quote.

The detail that matters here, Claude only shows up on that Enterprise plan. The Core tier at $399/month tracks five engines without Claude, and Pro at $999/month tracks eight, still without Claude.

Those public tiers (Starter EUR 85, Pro EUR 205, Advanced EUR 425/month) cover ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews, Copilot, Perplexity and Gemini, with 3 models per plan and the rest as add-ons at EUR 30, 70 or 140.

Rankscale
Rankscale offers the lowest entry point in this comparison. $20/month (Essential plan, 120 credits) gives access to 17+ engines including Claude, with citation and source-authority tracking. The important nuance for Claude, each query costs a fraction of a credit, but Claude is billed 2 credits, eight times the base rate (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity sit at 0.25). Tracking Claude is possible from $20, but it burns the quota much faster. Pro plan at $99/month and Enterprise at $780/month.
Key Features
- Entry point at $20/month (Essential, 120 credits), Claude included
- 17+ engines in catalog
- Citation and source-authority tracking
- Credit model, Claude billed 2 credits (8x the base rate)
- Pro $99/month (Looker Studio), Enterprise $780/month
Methodology
We first set aside any tool that does not track Claude as a genuinely queried engine, then ranked the rest on four Claude-specific angles. Whether Claude is present and the plan on which it unlocks, how finely the tool separates mention from citation since Claude names more than it links, the ability to act on results beyond plain measurement, and the ratio between real price and what you get once Claude is switched on. Every price and coverage figure was checked against each vendor's public sources at the time of writing. Models change fast, so always confirm the exact plan that opens Claude before paying.
Conclusion
To track Claude, the right tool depends mostly on your budget and your need to act. Hikoo leads by covering the full cycle, from continuous monitoring to a prioritized action plan, with a free entry point. Profound targets large accounts with the widest catalogue and ClaudeBot crawl tracking, as long as you accept the Enterprise quote, the only plan that unlocks Claude there and at Goodie AI too. Geoptie and Riff Analytics are the most relevant if you want Claude on an affordable entry plan, the latter built for brand tracking. LLMrefs adds a one-keyword free version, Peec AI targets data teams but leaves Claude out of its standard engines, Visiblie and Vizible AI play the multi-engine card, and Rankscale opens Claude at the lowest price in credits. One rule before you sign, check the exact plan that unlocks Claude.
