Geneo and Mentionable represent two fundamentally different pricing philosophies. Geneo leans on flexibility: you can buy credits and use them when you need them, or take its Pro plan at $39.9/month. Mentionable uses fixed monthly plans where you know exactly what you're paying.
Credit-based flexibility vs. predictable costs. Different trade-offs for different situations.
How the pricing works
Mentionable's structure is straightforward: a 7-day free trial, then €79/month Growth (up to 115 prompts, all 7 AI engines, 1 project), €149/month Pro (up to 231 prompts, all 7 AI engines, 3 projects), and Agency at €299/month with 5,000 credits, unlimited projects, and all 7 AI engines. Each tier has clear limits. You know what you get, you know what you pay.
Geneo works differently. You start with a free tier of 50 credits, then either buy credits as you go or subscribe to its Pro plan at $39.9/month.
Geneo's entry price is lower than Mentionable's. The pay-as-you-go option also has appeal: pay only for what you use, no paying for capacity you don't need.
LLM coverage and features
Mentionable tracks 7 LLMs: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Mode, and Google AI Overview.
Geneo tracks 4: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. No Claude, no Copilot, no Google AI Mode.
If Claude, Copilot or Google AI Mode visibility matters to you, that's a gap in Geneo's coverage.
Geneo offers real-time tracking, meaning visibility updates as changes happen rather than on a schedule. Mentionable scans on the frequency you set per project: daily by default, three times a week, weekly or monthly. For most use cases, scheduled updates are sufficient, but if you need to catch changes immediately, real-time has value.
Geneo also includes sentiment analysis, which tells you how AI describes your brand, not just whether it mentions you. Mentionable provides that layer too: every result per AI engine is tagged positive, neutral or negative.
Mentionable includes URL-based prompt suggestions. Enter your site, get relevant prompts to track. Geneo requires manual setup.
On Pro and Agency plans, Mentionable also ships an MCP server. Connect it to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, or ChatGPT and query your visibility data, prompts, and competitors directly from your AI assistant. Agency customers also get a one-shot GEO audit: a client-ready white-label report (competitor ranking, personas, competitor matrix, prompt coverage, recommendations, content ideas, top sources). Geneo offers neither.
Every Mentionable plan also includes an AI assistant built into the dashboard. Ask why a competitor gets cited more often and it answers from your own tracking data, then links to the page where you can act.
Which pricing model fits you?
The credit model works well if your usage is variable. Maybe you're an agency with fluctuating client loads, or you only need intensive tracking during specific campaigns. Pay for what you use, nothing more.
Fixed monthly pricing works well if you want predictability. €79/month is €79/month for 1,500 credits, and any overage stays under a spending cap you set yourself.
Which one fits you?
Geneo makes sense if credit-based flexibility appeals to how you work, your usage patterns are variable rather than consistent, real-time tracking is important for your workflow, a lower entry price ($39.9/month) matters, and 4 AI engines cover your needs.
Mentionable makes sense if you want a 7-day free trial to start, predictable monthly costs matter more than pay-per-use flexibility, you need Claude, Copilot and Google AI Mode tracking (Geneo doesn't cover them), and prompt suggestions help you get started faster.
The bottom line
Geneo's credit model suits variable, project-based usage. Mentionable's fixed model suits consistent, ongoing monitoring needs.
One practical consideration: Geneo is cheaper to start, but the absence of Claude, Copilot and Google AI Mode is a real gap. Start with Mentionable's 7-day free trial to understand what AI visibility tracking looks like. If credit-based flexibility genuinely matters for your workflow, use Geneo's 50 free credits and test their approach.
