* Searchable claims coverage of 10 AI engines but publicly names 6 across all research cycles: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, and Microsoft Copilot. Mistral and DeepSeek are not confirmed for Searchable. CiteMetrix names 9 platforms plus an extensible platform registry. Searchable does not publish a pricing page or tier dollar amounts in any research cycle; its tiers are structured by prompt volume and domains tracked. Comparison data as of August 2026, based on publicly available Searchable materials.
✓ Where CiteMetrix Wins
- Hallucination & accuracy detection — CiteMetrix flags when AI says something factually wrong about your brand, checked against your verified Brand Facts with a five-way verdict system. Searchable has no confirmed accuracy-detection capability.
- Transparent pricing from $79 — public $79 / $199 / $499 + Agency tiers you can act on today. Searchable publishes no pricing page and no tier dollar amounts — pricing is quoted by prompt volume and domains tracked.
- Broader named platform coverage — 9 named engines including Mistral, DeepSeek, and Google AI Overviews. Searchable claims 10 engines but publicly names only 6.
- BYOK data model — you use your own API keys and control your costs and data. No BYOK model is confirmed for Searchable.
- Remediation depth + mobile + reporting — 10+ named fix-it tools, an installable PWA with push alerts, and a full PDF/PPTX report suite — none of which are confirmed on Searchable.
⚠ Where Searchable Wins
- Shopping intelligence — Searchable monitors brands, merchants, and product carousels in AI-powered shopping results, a real edge for e-commerce brands that CiteMetrix does not match today.
- Prompt discovery & demand intelligence — a site + GA4 + GSC-driven prompt suggestion layer and a category-level “Prompt Universe” surface new prompts to track, beyond CiteMetrix’s known-prompt tracking.
- Query fanout tracking — a technically sophisticated view of how AI engines expand and reinterpret queries, not confirmed in CiteMetrix.
- Location-based AI visibility — geographic segmentation of AI presence for multi-location and franchise brands.
- Funding & enterprise motion — $14M raised at an $85M valuation with backing from Headline gives Searchable real runway and a sales-led motion aimed at high-ACV enterprise deals.
The Bottom Line
Searchable is a well-funded, London-based AI search platform with genuine strengths — shopping intelligence, prompt-demand discovery, query-fanout tracking, and an enterprise sales motion. But its pricing is undisclosed, only 6 of its claimed 10 engines are publicly named, and it offers no confirmed hallucination detection, BYOK model, mobile app, or PDF report suite. CiteMetrix gives you broader named platform coverage (9, including Mistral and DeepSeek), accuracy detection Searchable doesn’t offer, a deep remediation toolkit, and transparent self-serve pricing from $79/month. If you want to see — and fix — how AI describes your brand without a “contact sales” wall, CiteMetrix is built for you.
