The best fit for your team depends on the questions you need to answer and the evidence you need to review. A score alone is not enough to decide what to change.
For KnewSearch, start with the current availability: Monthly Starter enrollment is limited, with availability checked before payment. Growth and annual plans are not open for checkout yet; you can request access on the pricing page. Check current enrollment and request options. The free modeled assessment is available as a starting point.
Five questions to ask before choosing a tracker
- Can I choose questions that represent real buying decisions for this brand?
- Does each result identify its provider, date and measurement method?
- Are brand mentions distinguished from domains in returned answer sources?
- Are failed or incomplete checks visible rather than counted as confirmed absence?
- Can I tell whether two reporting periods used comparable question and provider populations?
Ask for an example you can inspect. Check whether it is modeled, observed for an owned property, or confirmed by an actual customer. Those examples answer different questions.
What KnewSearch is designed to track
Once activated, monitoring covers Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Gemini web results, plus Perplexity's Sonar API responses, through DataForSEO. These observations do not reproduce every person's chat session. Returned answer sources are not always inline citations.
The paid plan limits are: Starter includes up to 50 selected questions and 5 competitors for one brand. Growth includes up to 200 selected questions and 10 competitors for one brand. Daily monitoring and weekly reports require activation.
Paid monitoring requires account activation and a nonempty saved question set. Tracked Questions shows readiness and collection progress. The first observed report appears when the check is complete; active accounts receive daily checks and weekly report emails. These limits describe the paid offer once activated; saving a list or completing checkout does not establish that a report has been collected.
The platform overview organizes the review around visibility, competitors, sources and possible next actions. For observed coverage, the denominator is the completed question-and-provider checks in the report. Always keep the planned population and incomplete collection visible alongside that result.
What a marketer can do with the evidence
Use a result to select one useful investigation. Open a relevant source page, compare the information it provides with your own page and decide whether a content change would help your buyers. Do not treat a missing source link as proof that your brand was never mentioned or that a provider has blocked it.
After a change, compare like-for-like observations. Differences can arise from provider behavior or changing source material as well as your own edits. No tracker can guarantee that a particular edit will earn a citation.
Price and scope before purchase
Starter costs $49/month or $499/year. Growth costs $199/month or $1,980/year. Annual subscriptions are billed upfront; applicable taxes appear at checkout.
Agency starts from $499/month with scope agreed before purchase. Contact KnewSearch to discuss requirements; multi-client access and white-label fulfillment are not presented as available features.
Read the pricing guide and the current pricing page for terms and availability. Annual billing is paid upfront when offered; annual enrollment is currently by request. An access request does not start billing or activate monitoring.

Run the free assessment, then select a few suggested questions that fit your business. The free assessment guide explains its modeled output. The methodology, owned sample and resources help you judge the evidence without treating a limited example as a delivered customer result.
