MaxAEO review: pricing, features & alternatives

MaxAEO's homepage prices Starter at $19/mo monthly or $15/mo annual (1 brand, 10 prompts, 4 of 8 platforms, 5 competitors, 30-day retention). Growth is $149 / $119 (100 prompts, 8 competitors, 90-day retention). Pro is $399 / $319 (4 brands, 400 prompts, 1-year retention). Enterprise is custom: unlimited brands and prompts, all 8 platforms, dedicated account manager.

Named platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Grok, Google AI Mode, and Google AI Overviews. Daily re-checks. Setup is URL-in, report-the-same-day, no developer work. Refunds are prorated on unused time per the FAQ.

Every self-serve card says '4 platforms (8 available).' If your brief is ChatGPT plus Perplexity plus Gemini plus Claude plus Copilot plus Overviews, you are already past the published SKUs. Do not budget from the $15 Starter as if it were an eight-engine monitor.

The rest of the gap is category-shaped: MaxAEO monitors answers and suggests content. It does not publish bot-log analytics or AI-referral conversion tracking. Fine as a mention dashboard. Incomplete as the only GEO system of record.

Every row below is a capability we already listed for MaxAEO. It is the published feature set for this page, not a guess at an unpublished demo. Compare it with the Promptwatch checklist that follows.

On this listing, MaxAEO is a AI visibility tracker for Small teams that want a cheap daily mention dashboard and can live with four engines until they pay Enterprise.. What we sourced here: Daily monitoring of mention rate, competitive rank, and average recommendation position; Citation tracing, sentiment clouds, and prompt research; Eight named platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Grok, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews; Self-serve Starter/Growth/Pro; Enterprise for all eight platforms and unlimited prompts; Growth is $149 / $119 (100 prompts, 8 competitors, 90-day retention).

If you buy MaxAEO for the job above, plan a second tool (or Promptwatch) for the layers this listing does not document. Still missing here: AI crawler logs (Agent Analytics), crawl-to-citation path, bot errors; Visitor analytics: AI-referred sessions and conversions; Content Agents that plan, write, and publish GEO pages to a CMS with a review inbox; Citation analytics at page, domain, Reddit, YouTube, and offsite level; Prompt volumes, difficulty, query fan-outs, personas, city-level geo; Prompt and citation trends (what changed between checks); ChatGPT Shopping tracking and Ads Radar; Agent Chat, Unified Actions, MCP server / REST API on paid plans. Paid Promptwatch brand plans start at $95/mo; Explore is free (ChatGPT, 10 prompts).

MaxAEO's public pages (and this listing) describe a narrower job than Promptwatch. Most rivals answer whether you were mentioned. Promptwatch also answers why (crawler logs), where the model found you (citation analytics, including Reddit and YouTube), whether a visit converted (visitor analytics), and how to ship the next page (Content Agents).

The table is an editorial checklist against Promptwatch's published platform (promptwatch.com/llms.txt, 2026-08-23). It is not a hidden feature list for this vendor. 'Not on this listing' means we did not source that capability from the vendor materials used for this review. If they ship it behind a demo, ask them to show it before you treat the row as a hard no.
