AttractOS vs BrandGEO
These two carry the same headline number and mean completely different things by it. BrandGEO's entry plan is $79 per month. The AttractOS deep audit is $79 once. Over a year that is $948 versus $79 — so the only question that matters here is whether you need brand perception watched continuously, or diagnosed once.
This is an editorial comparison. The BrandGEO column is built from brandgeo.co's own public product and pricing pages as read on 2026-07-26 — we have not run BrandGEO first-hand and claim no benchmark results against it. We describe its published tier prices; we do not claim to know which features sit on which tier, because that split is not something we verified. Vendor pricing moves — verify on their site. The AttractOS column describes our own product, whose methodology and pricing are public.
Side by side
| Criteria | AttractOS | BrandGEO |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | One-time AI-visibility audit: free 5-intent scan + $79 deep audit (up to 25 intents) | Recurring brand-perception audit and monitoring subscription |
| Pricing (read 2026-07-26) | $0 scan · $79 one-time audit | Starter $79/mo · Business $149/mo · Agency $349/mo; ~20% off annual |
| Cost of one year at entry tier | $79 total | $948 at monthly, $756 at the annual rate |
| Cheapest first read | Free — no account, no card | 7-day free trial on any plan (card flow per their site); 30-day money-back on first payment |
| Core question answered | Are you cited in assistant answers for the buyer intents you name, and which pages beat you | How models describe your brand — scored across brand-perception dimensions, per provider |
| Models / lanes covered | OpenAI model (gpt-5.4-mini) with web retrieval via OpenRouter, Perplexity Sonar API, Gemini grounded API — each report names the lanes that answered on that run | 5 models per their site: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek |
| Tracking over time | No — a dated single-sample snapshot, stated as such on every report | Yes — ongoing monitoring is part of the subscription |
| Raw evidence shown | Yes — raw answer excerpts per intent × lane, plus a Source Placement Map of the pages assistants cited | Scored report with per-provider recommendations; white-label PDF export for agencies |
| Security posture claimed | No formal certification claimed | SOC 2 Type II stated on their site |
| Commitment | None — one-time, 7-day no-questions refund on the audit | Subscription; cancel anytime per their site |
Where BrandGEO wins
- Models we do not touch. It covers Claude, Grok and DeepSeek. We sample three lanes and none of those are among them. If your buyers ask Claude, we cannot tell you what happens and BrandGEO can.
- Continuous monitoring. Brand perception drifts as models retrain. A one-time audit structurally cannot catch that; a subscription can, and that is the job it is built for.
- A different question, answered properly. "How do models describe us" is not the same question as "are we cited." If your problem is that assistants say something wrong or unflattering about your brand rather than that they omit you, that is their lane, not ours.
- Formal security posture. They state SOC 2 Type II. We do not hold that certification and will not imply otherwise — if procurement requires it, that decides it.
- Agency white-labelling. Branded PDF deliverables for client work are a real workflow we do not serve.
Where AttractOS wins
- The commitment shape. $79 once against $79 a month is the whole argument. If you want to know whether you have a problem, paying annually for the answer is a strange way to find out.
- A genuinely free first read. Our scan needs no account and no card. A trial that starts with a card is a cheaper commitment than a subscription, but it is still a commitment.
- Evidence over score. We show the raw answer text and every page the assistants cited, so you can verify each claim yourself. A 0–100 score is easier to read and harder to check.
- Fixes aimed at whoever edits the site. Deterministic checks on your own pages plus prioritized, confidence-labeled recommendations and paste-ready fix kits — output for the person who has to change something, not just report on it.
Verdict by buyer type
- You need to know what Claude, Grok or DeepSeek say about you: BrandGEO. We do not sample those models and will not pretend the gap does not exist.
- Assistants are saying something wrong about your brand: BrandGEO. That is a perception problem, and perception scoring is its product.
- You suspect you are simply absent from AI answers and want to find out cheaply: AttractOS. Run the free scan; if the gaps are real, $79 once gets the evidence and the fix list.
- An agency reporting to clients every month: BrandGEO — recurring deliverables and white-label export are built for that, and a one-time audit is not.
- You want a diagnosis before choosing a monitor: do both in sequence. Diagnose once for $0–79, then pick a subscription — BrandGEO included — already knowing what to watch.
One thing worth checking yourself
We probed this whole category on 2026-07-26 and published everything the assistants cited. BrandGEO did not appear in that run — but neither did we, and 83% of the 46 domains that did appear were cited exactly once, so absence from a five-query sample is weak evidence about anyone. The full benchmark is worth a read before you take any vendor's word for who leads this category, ours included.
