Mentions.so bundles AI visibility monitoring, citation outreach campaigns, and an AI SEO article writer into one platform, with public pricing from $49 to $399/mo and no free trial. Trakkr is the focused AI visibility specialist at $100/mo Growth with all 8 AI models and a 14-day trial. Here's how to pick.
Founder, Trakkr
Quick answer
Mentions and Trakkr solve overlapping but different jobs. Mentions is closer to an activation tool than a pure analytics product - it combines AI visibility monitoring with citation outreach campaigns and an AI SEO article writer in one workflow. Trakkr is a focused AI visibility specialist with deeper platform coverage, Reddit intelligence, crawler analytics, and citations + perception on every plan, but without bundled outreach or article generation.
Both publish pricing, so the real difference is model coverage, depth, and the trial. Mentions is public at Starter $49, Pro $99, Business $199, and Agency $399/mo, with no free trial listed (Starter tracks 3 LLMs; all supported models start on Pro). Trakkr publishes Growth $100/mo, Scale $500/mo, custom Enterprisewith all 8 AI models on every plan, a 14-day trial, Reddit intelligence, and crawler analytics. If outreach campaigns and AI content production matter more than depth, Mentions can be the right shape. If you want broad coverage and evidence in one bill, Trakkr is the cleaner buy.

Verified August 2026 against public pricing pages, product documentation, and user reviews. Trakkr is our product; the bias is named, the data is honest.
Mentions publishes a clean public ladder in the homepage #pricing section: Starter $49, Pro $99, Business $199, and Agency $399/mo, all with unlimited seats. There is no free trial, so the lowest-risk entry is the $49 Starter plan (which tracks 3 LLMs; all supported models start on Pro). Note the /pricing path 404s, so mentions.so/#pricing is the canonical place to confirm prices.
Trakkr is the opposite by design: Growth ($100/mo) for 1 brand and all 8 AI models, Scale ($500/mo) for 10 brands and white-label, Enterprise (custom) for SSO and contracts. All prices public, all plans self-serve checkout, monthly billing, cancel anytime.

How Mentions prices the product
Public $49 to $399/mo, no free trial
Mentions publishes four flat monthly plans in the homepage #pricing section: Starter $49, Pro $99, Business $199, and Agency $399, all with unlimited seats. There is no free trial, so the cheapest way to validate is the $49 Starter plan, which tracks three LLMs (full model coverage starts on Pro). The constraint is prompt volume (25 to 300) rather than pricing opacity, and the /pricing path 404s so the homepage anchor is canonical.
How Trakkr prices coverage
Public pricing, self-serve, monthly billing
Trakkr's Growth $100/mo, Scale $500/mo, custom Enterprise tiers are all public, all self-serve at the first two tiers, and all monthly billing with cancel-anytime. Every plan ships all 8 AI models. The higher tiers add brand count, white-label, unlimited seats, and contract terms. The buying motion does not require a sales call.
The money math: Mentions Starter undercuts Trakkr Growth at $49 versus $100/mo, but you trade down to three models and 25 prompts, with no trial to test first. Trakkr ships all 8 AI models plus Reddit and crawler depth on every plan and a 14-day trial. If the bundled outreach + article writer story matters more than coverage, Mentions can be the right shape; if you want the broadest signal in one bill, Trakkr is the cleaner buy.
Mentions publishes four flat plans ($49 to $399/mo), so the comparison is direct: pick your requirements and see the lowest qualifying plan on each side. Mentions Starter tracks three LLMs, so full model coverage starts on Pro ($99). There is no free trial on Mentions.

Start free trialMentions Starter tracks three models; Pro and above track all supported LLMs. Trakkr ships 8 AI models on every paid plan with no add-ons. The practical gap is at the entry tier (3 versus 8) and on Microsoft Copilot, which Mentions does not list publicly.

Mentions Starter tracks three LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity). Pro ($99/mo) and above track all supported LLMs, which adds Gemini, Grok, Meta AI, DeepSeek, and Google AI Overview. Microsoft Copilot is the one model in Trakkr's set that Mentions does not list publicly. Trakkr ships all 8 AI models on every paid plan from $100/mo.
Mentions and Trakkr both monitor AI visibility, but the surrounding workflows are different. The right buy depends on whether outreach campaigns and AI content production need to live inside the same tool.
Mentions is built for this buyer. AI visibility tracking + citation opportunities + outreach campaigns + AI SEO article writer in one platform from a public $49/mo Starter plan. For a small team that wants to monitor, influence, and publish from one tool rather than gluing three products together, the workflow shape is genuinely useful.
Trakkr is intentionally a focused visibility specialist. We do not bundle outreach campaigns or article production. If your team needs outreach + content + visibility in one product, Mentions is the right tool. If outreach lives in your CRM and content lives in a writing tool, Trakkr is the cleaner focused choice.
Mentions positioning is explicitly agency-friendly. White-label reporting and AI traffic analytics are called out in third-party coverage. The bundled outreach + article writer is genuinely useful for client work - the agency can run citation outreach campaigns as a deliverable, not just a dashboard.
Trakkr Scale at $500/mo covers 10 brands daily with unlimited seats and white-label client portals. REST API access is included, MCP is available across paid plans, per-client economics are clean, and the focused AI visibility surface is easier to present to clients than a bundled monitoring + outreach + content suite. Different agency profiles will prefer different shapes.
Mentions Starter ($49/mo) covers ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, the right starting set for most teams new to AI visibility, and full model coverage starts on Pro ($99/mo). Pricing is public, so budgeting the upgrade path is easy. The constraint is the lack of a free trial and the 25-to-300 prompt ceiling, not opacity.
Trakkr Growth at $100/mo with a 14-day trial covers all 8 AI models (adding Gemini, Grok, Meta AI, DeepSeek, and AI Overviews), Reddit intelligence, crawler analytics, citations, perception, and an Agent surface for recommendations. Public pricing makes the budget conversation easier internally.
Enterprise procurement typically requires a published security posture (SOC 2, ISO 27001) and clear governance on top of public pricing. Mentions publishes pricing but does not lead with SOC 2, SSO, or GDPR signals on the homepage surface. If procurement gates on those, Mentions is the wrong shortlist.
Trakkr Enterprise handles SSO/SCIM, custom contracts, dedicated CSMs, and priority SLAs. For procurement-led enterprise buyers, Trakkr is a cleaner fit than Mentions; Profound and Conductor are the strongest enterprise options if SOC 2 Type II / ISO posture is non-negotiable today.
Mentions outreach campaigns surface citation opportunities (websites and creators influencing AI model responses) and connect that to personalized templates with follow-up sequences. For PR and link-building teams that already think in outreach workflows, the shape fits cleanly.
Trakkr identifies citations and source URLs through the citations module on every plan, but does not ship an outreach workflow on top of them. PR teams running outreach from Pitchbox, Buzzstream, or similar tools can layer Trakkr underneath for the visibility signal. For teams without an outreach tool, Mentions is the more integrated choice.
The integrated visibility-plus-outreach-plus-content shape is the right answer for some buyers, and the rest of this page is written by the team that builds Trakkr. So before the bias gets out of hand, here are the three places where Mentions is genuinely the better buy - and Trakkr is not.
Mentions identifies citation opportunities (sites and creators that influence AI model responses) and turns them into personalized outreach campaigns with templates, follow-up sequences, and response tracking. For PR and link-building teams that already think in outreach workflows, having that integrated with the visibility signal is a real product advantage. Trakkr surfaces citations on every plan but does not run outreach.
Mentions ships an AI SEO article writer alongside monitoring and outreach. For lean teams that want monitor + influence + publish in one tool rather than three, the bundling is genuinely useful. Trakkr is a focused visibility specialist - the Agent surfaces content recommendations and playbooks but does not produce articles.
Mentions Starter at $49/mo undercuts Trakkr Growth, and the $399/mo Agency tier adds 100% white-label, a custom domain, unlimited sites, and priority support. For agencies reselling AI visibility on a tight budget, that ladder is genuinely useful. The trade-offs are no free trial, three models on Starter (all supported models start on Pro at $99), and a 300-prompt ceiling.

Start free scanMentions is the better tool for a specific buyer: a lean team or agency that wants AI visibility monitoring, citation outreach campaigns, and AI SEO article writing inside one workflow, from a public $49/mo Starter plan. The category fit is real and the bundled shape is genuinely useful when monitor + influence + publish are all in the job description.
Trakkr is the better tool for buyers who want a focused AI visibility specialist with transparent pricing - $100/mo Growth, $500/mo Scale, custom Enterprise, all public, all self-serve at the first two tiers. Broader platform coverage (8 AI models including Gemini, Grok, Meta AI, DeepSeek, AI Overviews on top of ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity), Reddit intelligence, crawler analytics, citations + perception on every plan, and a 14-day trial inside self-serve checkout.
Both tools can coexist for some teams. Run Mentions for the integrated outreach + content workflow and Trakkr for daily visibility, Reddit, crawler signal, all 8 models on every plan (including Microsoft Copilot, which Mentions does not list), and a 14-day trial.

Start free scanHow this comparison was researched: Mentions pricing and features were verified against the public mentions.so homepage in August 2026. Plans are published in the homepage #pricing section (Starter $49, Pro $99, Business $199, Agency $399/mo, no free trial); the /pricing path returns a 404, so the homepage anchor is canonical. Model coverage was verified from the public copy: Starter tracks three LLMs and Pro and above track all supported models. Trakkr is our product, and that bias is named at the top of the page. Where Mentions legitimately wins (integrated outreach workflow, AI SEO article writer, lower entry price, white-label Agency tier) we have said so explicitly. Recheck directly on mentions.so/#pricing before buying.
Mentions publishes four flat plans in the homepage #pricing section: Starter $49, Pro $99, Business $199, and Agency $399/mo, all with unlimited seats and no free trial. Trakkr is also fully public: $100/month Growth, $500/month Scale, custom Enterprise, with self-serve signup, monthly billing, and a 14-day trial. Mentions Starter is cheaper to start; Trakkr ships all 8 AI models on every plan plus a trial.
No free trial or free plan is listed on the Mentions.so pricing block. The lowest public tier is Starter at $49/month. Trakkr offers a 14-day free trial on paid plans with self-serve signup, so you can validate fit before committing.
Mentions Starter ($49/mo) tracks three LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity). Pro ($99/mo) and above track all supported models, which adds Gemini, Grok, Meta AI, DeepSeek, and Google AI Overview. Trakkr tracks all 8 AI models on every paid plan: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, Meta AI, DeepSeek, and Google AI Overviews. The meaningful gaps are the entry tier (3 versus 8 models) and Microsoft Copilot, which Mentions does not list.
Mentions identifies citation opportunities (websites and creators that influence AI model responses) and surfaces them inside an outreach workflow with personalized templates, follow-up sequences, and response tracking. The goal is to turn visibility monitoring into outreach action - a PR-style link-building workflow connected to AI search signal. Trakkr surfaces citations and source URLs but does not run outreach campaigns natively.
Mentions is the better choice in three specific cases. First, when you want citation outreach campaigns integrated with AI visibility monitoring (PR and link-building teams). Second, when bundled AI SEO article writing matters and you would rather not run a separate content tool. Third, when the $49/mo entry price or the $399/mo 100% white-label Agency tier fits the budget better than broader coverage. Outside those cases, Trakkr is usually the cleaner buy.
Trakkr is the better choice when the buyer wants all 8 AI models on every plan (versus three on Mentions Starter), a 14-day trial to test first, Reddit intelligence, server-log crawler analytics, and citations + perception on every plan. That covers most agencies, in-house growth teams, and mid-market brand teams where outreach lives in a CRM and content lives in a writing tool.
No. Mentions.so (brand name: Mentions) is a separate product focused on AI visibility, citation outreach, and AI content. Mentions.com is a long-standing social listening and brand monitoring platform that predates the AI visibility category. The naming overlap is genuinely confusing - confirm you are looking at mentions.so before buying.
Yes. Third-party coverage references white-label reporting and AI traffic analytics on Mentions, and the homepage leans into agency use cases. Trakkr Scale also ships white-label client portals at $500/mo with 10 brands daily and unlimited seats. Agencies choosing between them should weigh the bundled outreach + article writer (Mentions) against broader platform coverage and public per-brand pricing (Trakkr Scale).
