CiteMetrix vs SE Visible
CiteMetrix tracks how AI platforms — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and 5 others — describe your brand. We detect hallucinations, quantify visibility with ModelScore™, and give you the remediation tools to fix what’s broken. SE Visible is SE Ranking’s AI-visibility tracker — a solid monitor from an established SEO vendor. Here’s how the two stack up.

SE Visible (visible.seranking.com) is the standalone AI-visibility product from SE Ranking. It publicly covers 5 AI platforms (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode); CiteMetrix covers 9, additionally including Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, Mistral, and DeepSeek. SE Visible’s published tiers are Basic $99/mo ($79 effective annually, 200 prompts, 3 projects), Core $189/mo ($151 annual, 450 prompts, 5 projects), and Plus $355/mo ($284 annual). Comparison data as of August 2026, based on publicly available SE Visible / SE Ranking materials.
✓ Where CiteMetrix Wins
- Broader AI coverage — 9 platforms vs. 5 — CiteMetrix adds Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, Mistral, and DeepSeek, which SE Visible does not cover. As AI search diversifies beyond Google and ChatGPT, that coverage matters.
- Monitor and fix, not just watch — SE Visible is explicitly a monitoring-only tool. CiteMetrix ships 10+ built-in remediation tools (llms.txt Generator, Schema Advisor, FAQ Generator, Robots Analyzer, Trust Audit, and more) so you can act on what you find.
- Hallucination & accuracy detection — CiteMetrix flags when AI says something factually wrong about your brand with a five-way verdict system, checked against your verified Brand Facts. SE Visible tells you whether AI mentions you, not whether it’s accurate.
- ModelScore™ + attribution — one 0–100 composite score across four pillars, plus GA4 and Search Console integration to tie AI visibility to real traffic. Neither is offered by SE Visible.
- Same $79, more inside — CiteMetrix’s $79/month covers all 9 platforms; SE Visible’s entry Basic is $99/month ($79 only when paid annually) and covers 5 platforms with 200 prompts, no remediation, and no accuracy detection.
⚠ Where SE Visible Wins
- An established SEO vendor behind it — SE Visible is backed by SE Ranking, a mature SEO platform with 10+ years of operation and a large existing customer base. That’s real institutional credibility CiteMetrix is still building.
- Integrated SEO + AI in one house — SE Ranking customers get AI-visibility tracking alongside a full traditional-SEO suite (keyword research, rank tracking, audits). CiteMetrix is focused specifically on AI visibility and does not do traditional SEO research.
- Explicit Google AI Mode coverage — SE Visible names Google AI Mode as a distinct supported platform. CiteMetrix tracks Google AI Overviews via DataForSEO but does not yet list AI Mode as a separate built-in platform.
- Unlimited team seats on every plan — SE Visible includes unlimited collaborators at all tiers, which is strong value for larger agencies and teams.
- Simple, transparent prompt-based pricing — a clean three-tier structure priced on prompt volume and project count makes SE Visible easy for buyers to evaluate.
The Bottom Line
SE Visible is a credible AI-visibility monitor from an established SEO vendor — if you already live in SE Ranking and mainly want to watch how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google’s AI answers mention you, it’s a reasonable fit. But it stops at monitoring. CiteMetrix covers 9 AI platforms instead of 5, detects when AI gets your brand wrong, quantifies everything with ModelScore™, and hands you 10+ tools to actually fix the gaps — all from the same $79/month entry point (SE Visible’s Basic is $99, or $79 only on annual billing, for 5 platforms). If you want to see it and fix it, CiteMetrix is built for you.
