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 August 17, 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. 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

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.

Key Features

  • Tracking across 9 AI engines, including Claude, Grok, Meta AI and DeepSeek
  • Agent Analytics, tracking site crawling and interpretation by ClaudeBot, GPTBot and PerplexityBot
  • Profound Agents, content production and distribution aligned with brand voice
  • Citation and mention tracking at enterprise scale
  • Backed by Lightspeed, Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, with Fortune 500 anchors
Widest engine coverage, Claude included on the Enterprise plan
Agent Analytics, the only clear answer to "can Claude crawl my pages"
Enterprise robustness (security, support, large-account anchors)
Claude is absent from both self-serve tiers, it takes an Enterprise quote
Significant learning curve to leverage agents and analytics
Annual billing enforced on Starter and Growth, no month-to-month option
Verdict : The enterprise reference for tracking Claude, with ClaudeBot crawl tracking on top. Reserved for organizations with budget and governance needs.

#4

Goodie AI

From $399/mo

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. Its strength is still closing the loop, bringing monitoring, optimization, attribution and content intelligence into one workspace, with an AI Content Writer to fix pages where your brand underperforms.

Key Features

  • Up to 12 AI engines on the Enterprise plan, Claude included
  • Full loop of monitoring, optimization, attribution and content intelligence
  • AI Content Writer to fix pages directly inside the platform

Best for : Enterprise brands wanting maximum coverage and built-in optimization

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

  • 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

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.

#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.
