Key takeaways
- Mentionable is a tracking-first tool: daily scans across 7-8 LLMs, transparent credit pricing, and a simple dashboard. AirOps is a content-production platform with AI visibility bolted on as one feature among many.
- Price gap is massive. Mentionable tops out at €299/mo for unlimited agency use. AirOps' real-world paid entry point is closer to $200/mo, and the next tier jumps to roughly $2,000/mo with, as more than one reviewer puts it, "no viable middle ground."
- AirOps can publish directly into your CMS (Webflow, WordPress, HubSpot CMS, Contentful, Ghost). Mentionable writes the missing page for you but you have to paste it in yourself.
- Mentionable's Claude scans cost 15 credits versus 1 credit for every other engine, a hidden cost that can eat your monthly allotment fast if you track Claude heavily.
- AirOps holds a strong 4.7/5 on G2, but the same review base flags a steep learning curve, confusing credit accounting, and an average 8-month time-to-ROI. Mentionable has no G2 presence yet since it's newer and smaller.
- If you need enterprise-scale content workflows and can budget $2k+/mo, AirOps wins. If you want affordable, transparent daily GEO tracking without a workflow-builder learning curve, Mentionable wins.
Overview
Mentionable tracks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Mode, and Google AI Overviews cite your brand, on a daily cadence, without the usual credit-hoarding pricing model most competitors use. It shows mention rate, citation rate, which competitors are winning the prompts you're losing, and which sources those engines trust instead of you. Its standout move is generating the actual page you're missing for a given prompt, then re-scanning to check whether engines start citing it. It's built by a small team and priced like a tool built for solo consultants and small agencies, not enterprise procurement.
AirOps started as a no-code AI workflow builder and has repositioned itself around "winning AI discovery." Its core mechanics are Workflows, a drag-and-drop automation builder for content pipelines, and Grids, a spreadsheet-style interface for running the same operation across hundreds of URLs at once, tied to an execution agent it calls Quill. AI visibility tracking exists inside AirOps, but multiple independent reviewers, including Profound, describe it as a secondary feature layered on top of a content-automation core rather than the product's reason for existing.
Side-by-side comparison
| Feature | Mentionable | AirOps |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | AI visibility tracking + page generation | Content workflow automation + AI visibility |
| LLMs tracked | 7-8 (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Mode, AI Overview) | "7+ Answer Engines" on Pro; ChatGPT only on Solo |
| Scan frequency | Daily (configurable, e.g. 3x/week) | Not the product's core loop; visibility data is secondary |
| Free tier | No permanent free plan; 4-7 day trial, no card | Free-to-start Solo tier with ChatGPT-only insights |
| Entry price | €79/mo | ~$200/mo functional entry (despite "free-to-start" marketing) |
| Content generation | Generates the missing page (150 credits) | Full workflow-driven drafting, refreshing, internal linking, schema, FAQ generation via Grids |
| CMS publishing | None, manual copy-paste | Native: Webflow, WordPress, HubSpot CMS, Contentful, Ghost, Strapi |
| Competitor benchmarking | Yes, per-engine mention counts vs named competitors | Limited/basic per third-party review |
| White-label / agency features | Yes, on Agency plan (€299/mo) | No dedicated white-label tier found |
| MCP / dev integrations | Yes, public MCP server (Claude Desktop, Cursor, n8n) on Pro/Agency | 46 listed integrations on G2 including Asana, ClickUp, Airtable |
| Learning curve | Low, dashboard-driven | Steep, per G2 reviewers on the Workflow builder |
| Third-party review presence | None on G2/Capterra yet; 4.2/5 on Salesdorado | 4.7/5 on G2 (134 reviews), though 21+ flag pricing as too steep for ROI |
Pricing and credit structure
Head-to-head verdict
Mentionable's pricing is transparent and linear: three plans, clear prompt and credit caps, a per-scan overage rate you can watch in real time. AirOps' pricing looks cheap on the surface ("free-to-start") but the functional jump from Solo to Pro is roughly 10x, and that jump is where AI visibility tracking, brand voice training, and multi-engine coverage actually unlock. If your budget caps out around $200-300/mo, Mentionable gives you more usable functionality at that price than AirOps does.
| Plan | Mentionable | AirOps |
|---|---|---|
| Free / entry | No permanent free plan (4-7 day trial) | "Free-to-start" Solo tier, ChatGPT-only, 35,000 tasks |
| Starter/Growth | €79/mo (1 project, ≤115 prompts, 1,500 credits) | ~$200/mo (real-world Solo price per third-party trackers) |
| Mid tier | €149/mo (3 projects, ≤231 prompts, 3,000 credits, MCP) | No published middle tier |
| Top tier | €299/mo (unlimited client projects, ≤385 prompts, 5,000 credits, white-label) | ~$1,999-2,000/mo Pro (7+ engines, 100,000 tasks, unlimited seats) |
| Enterprise | Not offered | Custom pricing, dedicated account manager |
| Overage | €0.02/scan, user-set spend cap | $6-9 per 1,000 tasks depending on plan |
One quirk worth flagging on Mentionable: every engine costs 1 credit per scan except Claude, which costs 15. If Claude visibility matters to your brand, budget accordingly, because it will burn through your monthly allotment far faster than the other six engines combined.
Head-to-head feature deep-dive
AI visibility tracking depth
Mentionable's dashboard shows mention rate, citation rate, and a per-engine breakdown (which of the 7-8 LLMs mentioned you, in what share) alongside a ranked list of competitor brands and the specific sources those engines trust more than yours (G2, Capterra, Reddit, and your own domain, ranked by citation count). AirOps' visibility layer, per Profound's hands-on review, is comparatively shallow, with limited LLM and regional coverage that
