What does AIclicks cost, and how long is the trial?
AIclicks publishes three self-serve tiers by tracked prompts and engines, up to 29% off yearly, plus a custom Enterprise plan; Starter and Pro come with a 3-day free trial and no card. Proofsource's trial runs two scans a day apart, free, and Custom is priced per brand.
How many AI engines does AIclicks track on each plan?
3 on Starter, 4 on Pro and 6 on Business, chosen from a list of 10+ that includes ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode, Grok, Meta, DeepSeek and Mistral; Enterprise gets all models. Proofsource's four standard engines are fixed on every plan, so every brand is compared on the same panel.
Does AIclicks run prompts daily?
Yes. Its pricing page lists daily prompt frequency on Starter, Pro and Business. Proofsource re-reads daily on Custom; the free trial runs two scans a day apart.
Where Proofsource shines: 4 things it is built to do.
Each one is a mechanism: what runs, how often, and what would catch us out if it were not true.
The free trial is the real report.
The free trial asks 25 buyer questions on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews, 2 scans a day apart, and hands back what a subscriber reads: which questions name you on which engine, who is named instead, and the pages each engine cited. No card, no call. One per company domain.
Every number arrives with the interval it was measured at.
Ask an engine the same question twice and you can get two answers, so one read is a draw, not a fact. We publish a 95% Wilson interval on every percentage and hold alerts until a change clears it. A tool that treats a single run as a finding will sell you progress on a day you did nothing.[2]
Four engines from the free trial, all ten on Custom.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews run side by side from the free trial upward, and Custom covers all 10 we track. On Custom the questions are re-asked every day on their own, or hourly if you choose. The full history leaves as CSV or JSON over any date range, or through the REST API, so the record is yours.
Each gap names the page that beat you, then drafts the answer.
A gap carries the sources the engines cited instead of you. Then a draft built on what those pages have and yours does not, held for a human to approve, because nothing should publish itself in your name.
Already using AIclicks?
You do not have to choose on day one. Here is how teams run Proofsource beside AIclicks and decide on their own data.
Keep AIclicks running
Nothing about trying Proofsource needs you to stop AIclicks. Your history and reports there stay where they are.
Bring your questions across
Export or copy the prompts you track in AIclicks and add them as buyer questions in Proofsource, so both tools ask the same things.
Run both side by side
Read the two for the same days on your own domain. Where the numbers differ, Proofsource shows the answers and the pages each engine cited, so you can see why.
Keep what serves your team
Many teams keep one tool for reporting and another for fixes. Pick on your own evidence, not on a comparison page.

Where do the AIclicks facts on this page come from?
From AIclicks's own public pages, linked in the Sources list with the date we read them. We have not run AIclicks on a domain of our own, so no measured number on this page is theirs. If a row is out of date, tell us and we will change it.
Where each fact on this page comes from.
- AIclicks pricing, read 5 Oct 2026. AIclicks's own page; no third-party roundup is used as a source.
- Wilson score interval. The interval we put on every visibility percentage. Introduced by E. B. Wilson in 1927 and standard for binomial proportions, because it stays honest at small sample sizes and near 0% or 100% where the naive normal approximation breaks.
- Proofsource sampling: day-over-day change in which brands get named, same question one day apart. Perplexity 27%, ChatGPT 18%, Google AI Overviews 12%, Claude 9%. How we measure.
Found a AIclicks row that has changed? Tell us and we will correct it here.
