Three engines is a glance, not a watch

HubSpot’s AEO product tracks ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity - and neither of Google’s AI surfaces, AI Overviews and AI Mode. It holds 25 prompts, offers no crawler analytics and no agency features, and acting on its recommendations happens in a separately-priced Marketing Hub. Koalr watches all seven engines daily, including both Google surfaces.

What full coverage includes

Koalr watches all 7 engines, both Google AI surfaces included. HubSpot’s AEO tracks 3 - and neither AI Overviews nor AI Mode.

Coverage

HubSpot AEO leaves 66.6% of AI answers unwatched.

Every AI visibility tool tracks a subset of the answer engines. The nine engines below are sized by their share of AI answer reach, and the ones HubSpot AEO does not track on the AEO tool as published are listed separately. Koalr tracks seven of the nine on every plan from £79 a month with no fees to unlock engines, which leaves it 3.7% short — DeepSeek and Grok. No tool here covers everything; the question is how much it misses.

  • Microsoft Copilot · 6.4%
  • Claude · 3.3%
  • DeepSeek · 2.0%
  • Grok · 1.8%

Its own comparison pages concede no Google AI Overviews coverage. There is no AI Mode, no Claude and no Copilot either.

Each figure is that engine's own published monthly-user figure as a share of all nine combined. Nine, not seven: Grok and DeepSeek are in the denominator even though Koalr does not track them, which is why Koalr's own total stops at 96.3% rather than 100%. Audiences overlap — one person can use Google AI Overviews, Gemini and ChatGPT in the same month — so this is relative reach, not a count of unique people. Meta AI is excluded: at roughly 1.2bn monthly users but 40m daily, it is incidental exposure inside WhatsApp and Instagram with no citation surface a brand can be visible in. Figures verified 2 September 2026.

Koalr and HubSpot AEO, row by row.

Every HubSpot AEO entry below was read off its own pricing page, documentation and changelog in August 2026. Where its published materials do not describe a capability, the row says so in those words rather than claiming the capability is missing.

On every plan

What Koalr includes that HubSpot AEO doesn't.

Each of these is standard on the £79 Starter, not held back for a larger plan or an enterprise contract.

  • Its own crawler: the GEO Audit

    Koalr crawls your pages and the rival page currently beating you and scores each on the CRAFT checks: does it answer the exact question buyers ask, can AI read it cleanly, is it worth citing. The audit's Agent Experience section shows which AI answer crawlers your robots.txt lets in and whether your homepage carries your business identity.

  • AI Traffic, on every plan

    See which AI crawlers read which pages, joined against what those engines then cite. Crawled-but-never-cited is the most actionable state a page can be in, and it only shows up when both halves sit in one place.

  • A Content Studio that drafts

    It ranks what to write, drafts against a named prompt and the page currently outranking you, and tracks citations after publish. Monitoring tells you that you are losing a prompt; this is the part that does something about it.

  • White-label reports and client logins

    Your logo on the reports, a login per client site, and free pitch workspaces for prospects. Part of the platform rather than a reporting add-on charged per document.

  • An MCP server on every plan

    Ten read-only tools at app.koalr.ai, so your own assistant can query your visibility data directly. No enterprise contract, no API tier to reach first.

  • All seven engines, every plan

    ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, refreshed daily on the £79 Starter and every plan above it. Claude runs weekly as standard, with a daily upgrade if you want it.
