Where LLMrefs is stronger
- Volume and coverage. 500 prompts, unlimited client domains and eight or more engines (including Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Meta AI) for $79 is a lot of tracking. TrendlyAI covers three engines.
- Multi-market tracking. Geo-targeting across 50+ countries and 20+ languages matters for international clients; TrendlyAI does not offer location targeting.
- Data access. CSV export and an API make it easy to pipe results into your own reporting.
Where TrendlyAI is stronger
- Lower entry price. $19/mo for one brand is a cheaper way to start — or to pilot AI visibility as a service with a single client — and Pro is $49/mo for 3 client brands.
- Fixes, not just data. Each gap comes with a one-click fix draft in the format most likely to be cited, and won-citation detection shows when a published fix starts getting cited.
- Client-ready deliverables. White-label PDF reports with your logo, read-only share links and monthly one-page pitch audits for prospects are on both plans.
- Sampling and a published formula. Each prompt is asked 3 times per engine; the score is explained on our methodology page.
Which one should you pick?
Pick LLMrefs if you manage many client domains, need engines beyond ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews, track multiple countries, or want API/CSV access.
Pick TrendlyAI if you have a handful of clients and want the cheapest way to pitch, fix and report — branded PDFs, fix drafts and won-citation proof for $19–$49 a month.
The fastest way to decide is to look at real answers: run the free check on a client's domain, read how we score it on the methodology page, and compare plans on pricing. Agencies should also read TrendlyAI for agencies.
