Proofsource vs Wellows

What Wellows is, and who it is for
A balance, not a prompt allowance. Every Wellows plan is a monthly balance of AI answers, where one prompt on one engine on one day spends one answer. Prompts, projects and seats are unlimited; the balance is what changes between plans.[1]
Citations at the centre. Wellows builds its reporting around a Citation Score and Citation Rank, counting both explicit mentions and pages of yours an answer cites without naming you.[1][2]
Content and outreach included. Plans include Quick Wins, content opportunities, KIVA (a writing agent that drafts against your Search Console data), outreach targets, white-label dashboards and a WordPress plugin.[1]
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 Wellows shines
- Unlimited projects on one invoice. A new site, market or client is a project drawing on the same balance, so it costs nothing until it asks a question. That suits agencies and multi-site brands.[1]
- A low published entry price. Basic is listed at $29 a month for 1,800 answers, and every published plan carries the whole product rather than holding features back for a higher tier.[1]
- Google AI Mode in the core set. Wellows tracks Google AI Mode on every plan. Proofsource tracks it on Custom.[1]
Where Proofsource shines
- Claude on every plan. Proofsource reads ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews from the free trial upward. Wellows lists five engines and Claude is not among them.[2]
- A trial with no card. 200 answers. 25 Prompts/Question. Top AI engines. 2 days. Free. No card, no sales call. Wellows offers a 7-day trial on its Basic plan.
- Numbers you can defend. Proofsource publishes a 95% Wilson interval with every percentage, so a move inside the noise is labelled as noise. Wellows does not publish a variance method on its pricing or features pages.
Proofsource or Wellows: the fair verdict
Pick Wellows if you run many sites or clients and want one balance you can spread across all of them at a published price, with writing and outreach tools in every plan.
Pick Proofsource if Claude matters to your buyers, or if you want each percentage to arrive with the interval it was measured at. Its trial reads ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews with no card.
Choose Wellows if you want

Already using Wellows?
You do not have to choose on day one. Here is how teams run Proofsource beside Wellows and decide on their own data.
Keep Wellows running
Nothing about trying Proofsource needs you to stop Wellows. Your history and reports there stay where they are.
Bring your questions across
Export or copy the prompts you track in Wellows 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.
Proofsource or Wellows: what buyers ask
Which AI visibility tool has a free trial and affordable per-brand pricing for small teams?
When we asked AI engines this, some answers named Wellows. Wellows lists a 7-day trial on Basic, which is $29 a month for 1,800 answers across unlimited projects. Proofsource's trial: 200 answers. 25 Prompts/Question. Top AI engines. 2 days. Free. Then Custom from $64 per brand per month (final price discussed on demo call).
Which AI visibility monitoring tools run scans every day rather than weekly?
Wellows tracks daily by default and lets you change cadence per project. Proofsource re-reads every engine daily on Custom, and its free trial reads them on consecutive days.
How can I track day-to-day changes in which competitors AI assistants recommend instead of my company?
Wellows surfaces earned, lost and reworded mentions the next day, down to the URL. Proofsource reruns daily on Custom and holds alerts until a change clears its 95% Wilson interval, so a single noisy run does not read as a trend.
Does Wellows track Claude?
Wellows lists five engines: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Claude is not among them. Proofsource tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews on every plan.
