What is Mentionova?

Mentionova is an AI visibility tracking platform trusted by 70+ brands and agencies that monitors brand presence across six AI engines: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Reddit. It runs buying questions on a schedule, daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly, and logs mentions, citations, position, and sentiment per engine on every run.

The platform follows a three-step workflow. First, it runs questions across all six engines. Then it logs every signal, mentions, citations, position, and sentiment, retaining full history. Finally, it catches run-over-run changes the moment a brand drops from an answer. The first signal arrives in approximately 2 minutes with no pixel, tag, or code installation.

For agencies, the platform supports one org login with fully isolated workspaces per client, three role levels (admin, strategist, viewer), tokenized white-label report links, and a portfolio view showing all client metrics side by side with week-over-week delta.

The platform also includes a Reddit Engagement module: Mentionova queues relevant threads, AI-drafts brand-voice replies, and holds everything for human approval before posting. An Ask Agent is built into the platform, pre-loaded with your brand's competitors and tracked prompts. It fans out simultaneously to web search, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and your workspace data, then drafts answers and content outlines in a single turn.

What is Goodie AI?

Per Goodie's own site, Goodie AI is an Answer Engine Optimization platform that positions itself as a closed-loop AEO system covering research, monitoring, optimization, and revenue attribution.

Feature-by-feature comparison

Pricing comparison

Mentionova's published pricing for brand plans, per the pricing page:

• Starter: $99/month annual ($125/month monthly), 25 prompts, 1 workspace, 3 seats, 3 engines (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity)
• Scale: $320/month annual ($400/month monthly), 100 prompts, 1 workspace, 3 seats, all 6 engines
• Enterprise: $799/month annual ($999/month monthly), 250 prompts, 3 workspaces, 3 seats, all 6 engines, Workflows/Grids, Apollo contacts, priority support
• Custom: Contact sales, unlimited prompts, SSO/SAML, SLA, dedicated CSM

Agency plans start at $200/month annual for the Launch plan (50 prompts, 3 workspaces, 3 engines) and scale through Growth ($799/month annual, 200 prompts, 10 workspaces, all 6 engines) and Agency Enterprise. All self-serve plans are accessible without a sales call.

Goodie AI's published pricing per the company's own site: Explorer is $399/month covering 3 engines, 100 prompts, 3,000 AI responses per month, and 3 seats. Pro and Enterprise carry no public price and require a demo request. An annual billing option (save 20%) is noted on Goodie's pricing page but no dollar figure is published for annual rates at the higher tiers.

The entry-level price differential is substantial: Mentionova's Starter plan at $99/month and Goodie AI's Explorer at $399/month address the same three AI engines at entry. Teams that want six-engine coverage with Mentionova can access it at Scale ($320/month annual), while Goodie AI's equivalent coverage requires a sales demo with no published price.

Where Mentionova differentiates

Metric depth from day one

Mentionova logs seven distinct signals per engine per run: mention rate, share of voice, citation count, citation velocity, engine coverage, sentiment score, and AI visibility score. These are available at entry level, not gated behind higher tiers. Citation velocity tracks week-over-week citation earning or losing with anomaly flags, a signal that tells teams which content moves are working before the trend becomes obvious.

The sentiment score runs on a -1 to +1 scale, logged per engine per run and retained as full history. Teams working across multiple AI engines can compare how each engine scores their brand's sentiment against named competitors in the same week.

Drift detection with typed events

Mentionova's Alerts and Drift module diffs every prompt run against the previous one across all 6 engines and emits five typed event categories: mention lost, mention gained, position improved, position declined, and sentiment shift. Each event links to the exact before-and-after diff, the phrase lost and the competitor source that replaced it. Alerts fire the morning after a run detects drift, priority-sorted by impact.

A content team that drops from a ChatGPT answer on a category query knows by the following morning what changed. They see what the engine said before and what it says now. They also see which competitor page replaced them. That specificity converts an alert into a content brief without additional research.

Agency scale and white-label reporting

Mentionova's agency architecture supports one org login with fully isolated workspaces per client. Each workspace runs its own prompts across six engines with its own citation history. Three role levels, admin, strategist, viewer, control which workspaces and tabs each team member can access. White-label reports carry a custom logo, name, tagline, color, and footer; tokenized links have configurable expiry and view tracking built in.

Agency Enterprise plans scale to 50+ workspaces, with a portfolio view showing all client metrics and week-over-week deltas side by side. The agency plans begin at $200/month annual for the Launch tier.

Setup time and self-serve access

The time from account creation to first data is approximately 2 minutes, no pixel, no tag, no code, no sales call. Teams can give Mentionova a domain and category context, run auto-generated prompts for that category, and receive their first visibility scoreboard almost immediately. This is relevant for agencies onboarding clients where implementation complexity needs to stay low and demonstrating early value matters.

Content optimization and the flywheel

Mentionova's AI content optimization module detects visibility gaps nightly and scores each from 0 to 1 by impact and winnability. It then generates a full content brief covering title, angle, trusted sources, and an AI-generated article seed. Two feeds, "Losing-on" (rival citations) and "Discover" (uncovered topics), give content teams a prioritized queue with statuses (open, acted, dismissed, watching) that track progress over time.

Every brief joins GA4 and Search Console data with AI citation counts per page. Teams can then measure a page's performance by citations earned, not just clicks. The result is a feedback loop: nightly gap scoring creates ranked plays, each play ships with a brief, each brief targets a page that can earn new citations.

Who should choose Mentionova

Mentionova fits teams that need to move from zero to signal quickly, track across all six major AI engines without a sales call, and connect monitoring data directly to content execution.

Content teams and SEOs running answer engine optimization programs can track which prompts their brand appears in, watch citation velocity week over week, and get a ranked content brief, with an article seed attached, the same night a gap is detected. The Track → Analyze → Optimize workflow is native to the platform rather than assembled from separate tools.

Digital agencies managing multiple clients can run fully isolated workspaces, switch clients in one click, and deliver white-label reports under their own brand. The agency plan structure scales from 3 workspaces (Launch) to 50+ workspaces (Agency Enterprise), with role-based access ensuring each client sees only their own data.

B2B brands and product marketers building category authority in AI answers can use Mentionova's competitor gap analysis, which maps mention-rate distance to each rival and identifies which competitors models treat as substitutes, alongside the co-mention overlap matrix and per-prompt win/loss markers. Each loss links to the competitor's source page, making it immediately actionable.

Teams starting an AI visibility program with a limited budget can start at $99/month with 25 prompts and 3 engines, then scale to 6-engine coverage at $320/month without a demo or negotiation.

Pricing and access: a direct comparison

The table below summarizes the published pricing structure for both platforms at comparable coverage levels:

For teams that want to evaluate a platform before committing to a sales conversation, Mentionova's self-serve plans allow testing without a sales call. Goodie AI's Explorer offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, but Pro and Enterprise tiers require going through a sales process before seeing price or feature details.

Final verdict

Comparing Mentionova and Goodie AI comes down to what a team needs from an AI visibility platform at the point of evaluation.

Mentionova offers full metric depth, seven tracked signals per engine per run, transparent pricing across all tiers from $99/month, and a workflow that runs from first signal to ranked content brief within a single platform. Its drift detection catches position and sentiment changes with before-and-after answer diffs. Its agency architecture scales to 50+ isolated workspaces with white-label reporting. Its Reddit module and Ask Agent extend coverage and action into channels other platforms leave separate.

For teams comparing the two, Mentionova delivers more data per dollar at the self-serve level, removes the need for a sales conversation to access 6-engine coverage, and brings monitoring, content optimization, and agency reporting into a single loop rather than connecting them across separate products.
