The 10 Best Tools to Track Your Claude Mentions in 2026

Measure when Claude names your brand and cites your pages, across the prompts that matter

Timothé Merle30 min readUpdated September 30, 2026

In short

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.

9.5/10

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. The Reporting agent continuously monitors your mentions and clusters them (product, brand, trends, competition) with per-country performance. It also exposes Source Intelligence, meaning the sites (review, forums, blogs, media) that engines like Claude rely on to cite a competitor instead of you. The Site agent audits each page and scores it 0 to 100. The Content agent prioritizes actions by estimated impact. Claude is included in the Agent plan, which covers all 9 engines, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode included.

Key Features

  • Reporting agent, continuous Claude mention monitoring, theme clustering, geographic performance by country and Source Intelligence exposing the sites cited by AI (review, forums, blogs, media)
  • Separate mention vs citation measurement, relevant for Claude which names more than it links
  • Site agent, page-by-page audit scored 0 to 100, detecting missing content types AI engines look for
  • Content agent, recommendations ranked by estimated impact on AI visibility
  • Permanent Free plan (0 EUR, 10 prompts, ChatGPT), Claude included in the Agent plan
  • Permanent Free plan to validate value before committing budget
  • Four agents covering the full cycle, from audit to monitoring, action and competitive analysis
  • Source Intelligence and estimated impact, so you know what to fix to win citations
  • Claude is only included in the Agent plan, at 499 EUR/month
  • All 9 engines require the Agent plan, while Google AI Overviews and AI Mode can be added to any subscription

Verdict The best balance to track Claude and act on it, with continuous monitoring, a mention/citation split, a prioritized action plan and a free entry point.

Profound

From $99/mo
9.2/10

Profound is the reference enterprise platform for AI visibility, with the widest engine coverage in this comparison, 9 platforms including Claude, Grok, Meta AI and DeepSeek. Its Agent Analytics is unique here, tracking how bots like ClaudeBot crawl and interpret your pages, which answers a key Claude-tracking question, can it even reach your content. 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.

  • Claude is absent from both self-serve tiers, it takes an Enterprise quote
  • Significant learning curve to get the most from agents and analytics

Goodie AI is one of the most complete GEO platforms on the market, with a catalogue reaching 12 engines on the Enterprise plan (ChatGPT, AI Overview, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, AI Mode, Copilot, Meta AI, DeepSeek, Grok, Alexa, Sparky). 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.

  • Full loop of monitoring, optimization, attribution and content intelligence

Peec AI

From €85/mo
7.8/10

Peec AI is a solid analytics platform for brand tracking, with recognized strength in sentiment and Source Identification (mention origin such as review, social, press, editorial domains). The catch for Claude tracking, the model is not part of the six standard engines on the brand plans. 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. Claude arrives with the agency and Enterprise offers. Unlimited users on every plan.

Key Features

  • Source Identification, mention origin (review, social, press, editorial domains)
  • Strong sentiment analysis and competitive benchmarking
  • 6 standard engines, 3 models per plan, the rest as add-ons
  • Unlimited users on every plan
  • Claude available on the agency and Enterprise offers
  • Source Identification and sentiment among the best in the category
  • Clear public pricing and unlimited users
  • Daily tracking on every plan
  • Claude sits outside the six standard engines, so no Claude tracking on the brand tiers
  • Capped at 3 models per plan, the rest as add-ons (EUR 30, 70 or 140/month)
  • Starter limited to 50 prompts and 1 project

Verdict Excellent analytics platform, but Claude is locked to Enterprise, worth it mainly if you target that tier.

Best for Enterprise teams wanting top-tier sentiment and source tracking

#10

Rankscale

From $20/mo
7/10

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
  • Lowest entry price, Claude accessible from $20/month
  • Very broad engine catalog
  • Analysis of cited-source authority
  • Claude costs 8x the base rate in credits, the quota drains fast
  • The Essential plan (120 credits) saturates quickly when tracking Claude
  • Limited action depth versus specialists

Verdict The cheapest way to start tracking Claude, as long as you accept that Claude burns the credit quota faster than other engines.

Best for Solos and small teams who want to test Claude tracking on a budget

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.

FAQ

  • Why use a dedicated tool to track Claude rather than my SEO tool?

    A classic SEO tool measures your Google position, not how Claude talks about you. The tools in this comparison query Claude with your prompts, spot when your brand is named or cited, and track the trend over time. Without that, you have no idea whether Claude recommends you or a competitor.

  • Mention or citation in Claude, which should you track?

    Both, because they say different things. A mention is Claude naming your brand in its answer, often with no link. A citation is Claude surfacing one of your pages as a source. Since Claude prefers prose, mentions dominate, so track them first while keeping an eye on citations.

  • Which tools include Claude on their entry plan?

    Geoptie, where Claude is one of the 4 engines you can pick from the $49/month Starter. Riff Analytics and LLMrefs also cover it from their entry tier, and Rankscale opens it at $20/month while billing it 2 credits per run against 0.25 for ChatGPT. On the closed side, Peec AI leaves it out of its six standard engines, Visiblie switches it on from Growth, and both Profound and Goodie AI keep it on their Enterprise quote.

  • Can you track Claude for free?

    Partly. LLMrefs offers a free version with no card that includes Claude, but it caps at 1 tracked keyword. Hikoo offers a permanent Free plan, limited to ChatGPT, with Claude tracking included in the Agent plan. Several tools run a few-day trial, 7 days with no card at Peec AI and Riff Analytics. For continuous, serious Claude tracking, plan for a monthly budget all the same.

  • Which tool fits enterprise Claude tracking?

    For an enterprise, Profound offers the widest coverage with its Agent Analytics that even tracks ClaudeBot crawling, while Goodie AI covers 11 platforms with a built-in optimization loop. Peec AI suits data teams, keeping in mind Claude there is reserved for the Enterprise plan. The choice comes down to coverage, crawl tracking and analysis depth.

  • How can you win more mentions in Claude?

    Strengthen the signals AI values, namely authority, credible sources and clear, structured content (E-E-A-T). Make sure your site is reachable by AI bots through robots.txt and llms.txt, and build presence on the third-party sites Claude tends to draw from, such as review pages, forums and press. A tool like Hikoo identifies those sources and prioritizes high-impact actions.
