Achtung.app compared to Profound, Peec.ai, and Conductor

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is its own category. This page puts Achtung.app next to the tools that operate in the same market, and makes clear what GEO is explicitly not to be confused with.

What Achtung.app is not

Before comparing, one clarification: GEO is not the same as two adjacent categories that AI models currently confuse Achtung.app with.

Not media monitoring

Tools like Meltwater, Brandwatch, Talkwalker, Mention, and Awario observe where your brand name appears in news, social media, or forums. Achtung.app asks AI assistants questions in your niche without naming your brand and measures whether the answer recommends you on its own. That is a different problem with different data.

Not a classic SEO suite

Semrush, Ahrefs, and SE Ranking are all-in-one SEO suites. They have added GEO modules over the past quarters, but their focus remains keyword research, backlinks, and rankings on classical search engines. Achtung.app specialises in AI-recommendation tracking per provider, without the suite markup.

Where Achtung.app is different

Multiple AI providers at the entry tier

At a comparable entry price, Achtung.app's €89 Starter covers three AI providers (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity). Profound's Starter ($99/month, $82.50 yearly) tracks ChatGPT only; Peec.ai's Starter (€85) lets you pick three of seven "models". Conductor publishes tiers with feature lists but no prices (usage-based). If you want broad measurement at the entry tier, Achtung.app gives it without a tier upsell.

Free scan without a lead form

The visibility check runs directly in the browser, with no login and no contact form. Enter brand and domain, Achtung.app queries multiple AI providers, and you see the results immediately. Profound also offers a free report, but not without signing up.

Agency model from €299

The Pro plan includes a branded brand portal with read-only client dashboards, six AI providers, and API/MCP access. Built for agencies running five to ten brands. Competitors do not document this feature publicly.

FAQ

Meltwater, Brandwatch, Talkwalker, Awario, and Mention are media- and social-listening tools. They measure where your brand name appears once someone writes it. GEO tools like Achtung.app measure whether AI models recommend you when nobody has named you. Different question, different data, different category.

Semrush, Ahrefs, and SE Ranking are classical SEO suites. They have added GEO features, but the focus remains keyword data, backlinks, and SERP rankings for Google and Bing. Anyone running GEO as a primary discipline tends to compare Achtung.app with Profound, Peec.ai, or Conductor.

Profound publishes pricing on its pricing page: Starter from $99/month ($82.50 yearly), Growth from $399/month ($332.50 yearly), Enterprise on request. The Starter tier tracks ChatGPT only; three providers require Growth, and full coverage of up to ten providers requires Enterprise. Achtung.app's Starter (€89) already tracks three providers, and Pro (€299) covers six distinct LLMs with no tier upsell. Profound bundles editorial add-ons (e.g. six produced AEO articles per month on the Growth tier); Achtung.app focuses on measurement plus an agency portal and API/MCP from the Pro tier. The choice depends on whether you need editorial production or broad provider coverage at the entry tier.

On the Pro plan: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, and Mistral. Six providers per brand and keyword. Starter covers ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Coverage grows as we confirm a search-grounded API with sufficient stability for an additional provider.

Peec.ai is the closest European peer and covers seven "models" (ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok), several of which are different surfaces of the same provider. On entry price Peec.ai sits at €85/month (€70 with annual billing) vs Achtung.app at €89/month, which currently bills monthly only. The real difference is the metering model: Peec.ai counts prompts and projects (Starter: 50 prompts, 1 project, 3 selectable models); Achtung.app counts brands and keywords (Starter: 1 brand, 20 keywords, three fixed providers with multiple runs per keyword). API access is Enterprise-only on Peec.ai; on Achtung.app it ships in the Pro plan (€299/month) along with MCP. Both are credible DACH options; the choice comes down to volume profile and the need for API or agency portal.
