Askadia vs Otterly.AI: two $29 AI visibility trackers, compared
Otterly.AI and Askadia both start at $29 a month, and buy different things. Otterly asks 15 prompts every day on four AI assistants, with audits of your pages for AI search. Askadia asks three, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, across as many questions as you like, and it's built so your coding agent can run it with you: find the questions you lose, read every answer behind them, plan what to change, and reschedule, add or pause questions as you go. The prices part when your agent joins: Otterly's API and MCP server start at $189 a month, with a monthly count of requests; Askadia's come with the $29 plan, uncounted, because the only thing Askadia counts is answers. If you need Perplexity and Copilot for a few prompts, Otterly; if you want many questions on ChatGPT and Google, worked through with your agent, Askadia.
Who wrote this: we make Askadia. Every price and feature comes from each vendor's own website, checked on October 31, 2026, linked where it's stated; the numbers about what ChatGPT recommends come from the same buying questions we ask it for every tool, three times a week, live.

How they differ
- What $29 buys: Otterly's Lite is 15 prompts, each asked once a day on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot; that is about 1,800 answers a month, 450 of them on ChatGPT; AI Mode, Gemini and Claude are add-ons, and Lite can't buy more prompts (Otterly pricing). Askadia's $29 is 2,000 answers on any of its three assistants, AI Mode included: about 22 questions asked every day on all three, or 66 every day on one, or a mix.
- Schedule: Otterly asks every prompt daily, with no way to ask one again or less often (Otterly help). Askadia lets you choose per question, and ask one again now; you or your agent change it any time, through the app, the API or the MCP server: daily for a baseline, Mon/Wed/Fri once it's steady, daily again during a launch or campaign.
- How the numbers count: Otterly's headline is brand coverage, the share of prompt runs that mention you, and its position is averaged over the answers that name you (Otterly's KPI definitions), a definition it publishes openly. Askadia counts questions as x of n, a question counting when most of its answers do, and shows your rank in every answer, the ones that leave you out included.
- With an API: Otterly's API and MCP server start on Standard, $189 a month for 100 prompts (about 12,000 answers), with 2,000 API and 2,000 MCP requests a month that can't be topped up (Otterly help). On Askadia, 12,000 answers a month are $174, and the API and MCP come with them, calls uncounted.
- Agents: Askadia's API, MCP server and agent skill are included in its $29 plan, reading is unlimited, and an agent can do everything you can in the app except the plan and the team: review your questions and suggest better ones, pause, resume and reschedule them, read every answer word for word with its raw page, and find who wins where you lose (Askadia's API docs).
- Beyond tracking: Otterly audits your pages for AI search (crawlability, content), and from $189 shows AI crawler traffic. Askadia focuses on what each assistant recommends, who instead, and the pages it read, with Google's top 10 beside every AI Overview.
Where Otterly.AI is better
- Four assistants at $29, Perplexity and Copilot among them, and seven with add-ons; Askadia asks three: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode (an add-on on Otterly).
- Page audits for AI search, unlimited seats, exports on every plan, and a free 7-day trial with no card.
- Sentiment and share of voice, for marketing teams that report them.
Where Askadia is better
- Your agent works the whole loop with you: it goes through the questions you lose, reads every raw answer behind them, makes a plan, and carries it out on your word: questions added, paused or resumed, competitors tracked, names merged, feedback sent. You decide; it does the legwork.
- A schedule that moves with you: each question on its own schedule on each assistant, changed any time by you or your agent, daily for a baseline or a launch and Mon/Wed/Fri in between.
- Simple pricing: one plan with everything in it, and only answers counted. The API, MCP server and agent skill come with $29, and your agent's calls aren't counted; on Otterly, agents start at $189 with a cap on requests.
- Many more questions for the same $29: Otterly's 15, asked daily on all three of Askadia's assistants, use about 1,350 of its 2,000 answers, so you can cover every buyer and use case.
- Built for products: buying questions, the top pick, who each assistant recommends instead, and the pages it read.
Which ones ChatGPT recommends: our own data
We ask ChatGPT 40 questions buyers ask about AI visibility tools, the same ones for every tool, on Mon, Wed, Fri: in the ChatGPT app, logged out, from the US, a new chat each time. A tool counts for a question when most of that question's answers recommend it, as the top pick or an option. The questions were published before its first answer, and every answer is public, word for word.
| Tool | Last 7 days | Last 28 days |
|---|---|---|
| Otterly.AI | recommended in 27 of 40 | recommended in 27 of 40 |
| Askadia (ours) | recommended in 0 of 40 | recommended in 0 of 40 |
Questions, counted when most of their answers recommend the tool; since November 11, 2026. Under 28 days of answers so far, so this shows who's recommended more than the exact order. Every tool, every question and every answer.
Which to pick
Pick Otterly.AI if you need Perplexity and Copilot too, for a handful of prompts, and page audits.
Pick Askadia if ChatGPT and Google are where your buyers ask and you want many questions there, on your own schedule, with an API your agent can use.
Questions
What can an AI agent do in Askadia?
Give Claude Code, Cursor or any agent one line, the docs address, and approve it once; or add Askadia's MCP server to Claude Code or Cursor, or as a connector in Claude.ai or ChatGPT, which signs in without a key to copy. Then it can:
- Work through what you lose: find the questions where an assistant leaves you out, read every answer behind them down to the raw page, and come back with a plan for you to approve.
- Review your questions on four checks (a real buyer, neutral wording, specific, the way buyers ask), say which are good and which need work, and suggest questions to add, pause or replace. You accept, edit or dismiss each one, in Reviews or in the chat.
- Add, pause and resume questions, and set each one's assistants and how often on each: daily for a baseline, Mon/Wed/Fri once it's steady, daily again for a launch or campaign.
- Read every number and every answer word for word on each assistant: the products named in order, the pages cited, Google's top 10 beside each AI Overview, and each answer's raw page as it reached us, to check our reading or run its own analysis.
- Find the questions you lose and to whom, and compare the pages each assistant cites with yours.
- Sort which products are your competitors, count two names of one product as one, and add your pages elsewhere, like an app-store listing, so their citations count.
- Propose a correction when an answer was read wrong, send us feedback (we reply to it), and keep the site's notes for the next agent.
With no account, it runs your free checkup and signs you up: you enter an emailed code and pay. The plan and your answers are always your click. It's all in the $29 plan, and reading is unlimited (the agent docs).
