VibeSEO vs Ahrefs Brand Radar

VibeSEO vs Ahrefs Brand Radar breadth across a giant prompt index vs depth on the questions that matter.

Brand Radar measures your brand across AI, YouTube, search and web mentions on top of a huge prompt index, with custom prompts sold as a separate add-on. VibeSEO is the depth half: your own questions, four engines, daily, with perception, sources and the full answer.

  • Available from Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP client: official Claude connector, official ChatGPT app, MCP server

What you get

Per-engine numbers

Visibility, share of voice and position for each engine separately. No averaged score that hides where you are actually missing.

Read the actual answer

Every reply is stored with the brands in order, the sources it relied on and what it said about you, so each metric links back to its evidence.

Can AI open your site?

The GEO Audit checks robots rules, real page responses and readable text per AI crawler, and gives you a fix prompt for each issue.

Add SEO when you need it

GEO Pro is AI visibility on its own: four engines, every day, up to 5 sites. The SEO + GEO plan adds site audits, Search Console, keyword research and content tools to the same account and project list.

Ask from Claude or ChatGPT

VibeSEO ships an official Claude connector, an official ChatGPT app and an MCP server, so the same GEO data answers questions inside the assistant you already use.

Common questions

Is VibeSEO a replacement for Ahrefs Brand Radar?

Not for niche-wide breadth; nobody matches that index. For depth on your own questions with daily per-engine results and saved answers, VibeSEO covers what Ahrefs sells separately as custom prompts, on one plan with no add-on. If you want SEO tools too, the SEO + GEO plan adds site audits, Search Console and content tools to the same account.

What is the main difference?

Ahrefs answers "how is my niche doing" from a pre-built index; VibeSEO answers "what does AI say when my customers ask these questions", per engine, with brand perception, cited sources and the full reply behind every number.

Which AI engines does VibeSEO monitor?

ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Each engine is collected and reported separately; there is no averaged score. Perplexity and Claude are not monitored as answer engines. Their crawlers (PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot) are checked in the GEO Audit, which tells you whether they can fetch your pages.

How often are the answers checked?

Daily. Every active question is asked on every engine you selected once a day, and each answer is saved in full. A change on your site or in a model shows up the next morning, and you can look back over 7, 30 or 90 days per engine.

Can I use VibeSEO GEO from Claude, ChatGPT or an MCP client?

Yes. VibeSEO is listed as an official Claude connector (Able SEO by VibeSEO in Claude's connector directory) and as an official ChatGPT app, and the same MCP server at https://mcp.vibeseo.dev/mcp works with Cursor, Claude Code and any other MCP client. Connect once with OAuth and ask for your AI visibility, cited sources or saved answers in plain language, next to the SEO tools already exposed there.

What does the free preview include?

Every new account starts with a free trial, and the trial includes one GEO preview: up to 30 questions, 120 answer checks on the engines you pick, and 7 days to read the results on every screen. Daily monitoring needs the GEO Pro plan.

What does it cost?

GEO Pro is $189/month and includes 15,000 credits. One credit is one question on one engine for one day, so 25 questions on four engines cost 3,000 credits a month. GEO Pro covers AI visibility only; the SEO + GEO plan at $299/month adds the SEO tools on the same credits.
