Proofsource vs Frase

Frase writes and publishes content, and watches AI engines as one feature of that. Proofsource starts from the measurement, on all four panel engines from day one, with the evidence behind every number, drafts the fix for each gap, and on its Managed plan its team writes and publishes the content for you.

What Frase is, and who it is for

A content operating system for AI search. Frase audits a site, researches topics, drafts in your brand voice and publishes to WordPress, Webflow, Sanity, Wix or its own CMS. Its AI Visibility feature monitors where AI engines cite you, with daily tracking and alerts.[1][2]

For teams whose job is producing content. Plans are sized by seats, sites, articles and audit pages, with AI Visibility tracking 50, 200 or 500 prompts. Frase also classifies prompts by buying stage and targets them in 40+ countries.[1][2]

Proofsource is an AI intelligence platform that shows which buyer questions name your brand in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews, who gets named instead, and exactly what to fix.

Where each shines

Both tools are built well for different teams. Each point is a strength, read from that vendor's own pages.

Where Frase shines

  • It writes and publishes. Frase drafts articles in your brand voice and publishes them to your CMS, and Content Guard proposes revisions when a page starts to slip on Google.[1]
  • A whole content stack at a low entry price. Starter bundles articles, audits and AI Visibility for one site, with a self-serve 7-day trial and no card.[1]
  • Buying-stage and country cuts. Frase sorts prompts into awareness, consideration and decision, scores visibility per stage, and supports per-prompt country targeting in 40+ countries.[2]

Where Proofsource shines

  • Claude and the full panel on day one. Frase's Starter plan tracks ChatGPT and Google AI, and Claude arrives on Scale. Proofsource asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews every question from the free trial on.[1]
  • An interval beside every benchmark. Every Proofsource number carries a 95% Wilson interval and alerts wait until a change clears it. Frase publishes an industry benchmark but no confidence figure.
  • Fixes aimed at the cited source. Each gap names the pages the engine quoted instead of you, so the fix targets the source the model already trusts rather than adding another article.
  • Unlimited seats on Custom. Frase counts seats per plan and charges for each extra one.[1]

Proofsource or Frase: the fair verdict

If your team's bottleneck is producing content, Frase is the stronger buy, and its AI Visibility feature is a useful monitor on top.

If the bottleneck is knowing which buyer questions name you, who gets named instead and whether a change is real, Proofsource is built for exactly that.

Plenty of teams would run a writing tool and a measurement tool side by side.

Already using Frase?

You do not have to choose on day one. Here is how teams run Proofsource beside Frase and decide on their own data.

  1. Keep Frase running

    Nothing about trying Proofsource needs you to stop Frase. Your history and reports there stay where they are.

  2. Bring your questions across

    Export or copy the prompts you track in Frase and add them as buyer questions in Proofsource, so both tools ask the same things.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
