03 · Side by side

Fifteen questions, both answers.

The same questions on every compare page, so the table can't be tuned to flatter us. Each mark is a shape first and a colour second: a tick, a tilde for in part, a cross, a dash for not published.

Watch for, on Mentionova

  • Starter tracks three engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google) and 25 prompts; the other three need Scale
  • The API is on Scale and above; the MCP server and connectors are on every plan
  • Runs are weekly, fortnightly or monthly; opportunities are rescored nightly, not the prompts

Watch for, on Bluefish AI

  • No public pricing: /pricing returns 404; only /contact/sales Source
  • No enumerated engine list on site; "10+ LLMs" and "15+ provider integrations" are unnamed Source

05 · Criterion by criterion

Seven things that actually differ.

Mentionova's column describes the product as shipped. The Bluefish AI column is built from its own pages. The edge line is our call, and it doesn't always go our way.

  1. 01

    Engines and cadence

    Choose based on: Which engines your buyers actually ask, and whether daily snapshots or scheduled runs with nightly scoring suit how you work.

    Mentionova

    Six engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google and Reddit. Starter covers ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google; Scale and Enterprise cover all six. Each workspace runs weekly, every two weeks or monthly, and opportunities are recomputed from the latest run every night. Google runs record the organic top ten; AI Overviews are pulled on demand through Nova rather than tracked on a schedule.

    Bluefish AI

    Bluefish AI names 5 engines: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Alexa for Shopping, "other leading LLMs". Homepage: "10+ LLMs tracked daily including Alexa for Shopping, plus 15+ provider integrations". Monitoring suite: "ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other leading LLMs". No enumerated list on site. PR Newswire Series B (third-party, fetched) names ChatGPT, Google AI, Claude, Perplexity, Amazon Rufus. Run cadence: "updated daily across 10+ models" (bluefishai.com/products/ai-monitoring-suite).

    EdgeBluefish says ten-plus LLMs tracked daily but names only ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Alexa; Mentionova names its six. Unknowable until a demo.

  2. 02

    What gets measured

    Choose based on: Which numbers your reports have to show, and whether you want to be told what changed rather than handed a new number.

    Mentionova

    Every run stores mention rate, citation rate, share of voice, position-1 rate, sentiment, engine coverage and an AI visibility score. Between runs the Monitor feed logs eight kinds of drift on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini: a mention gained or lost, a position up or down, a changed description, a sentiment shift, a competitor entering or leaving. A daily email digests the opportunities.

    Bluefish AI

    Bluefish AI reports Impact Score, Influence Rank, Sentiment, Citation Analysis, Share of Voice by persona, Presence / brand representation, Campaign- and tactic-level KPI attribution, AI visibility lift. Prompt volume or demand data: not published. Typed change alerts: not published as a feature.

    EdgeBluefish's Impact Score, Influence Rank and tactic attribution against Mentionova's seven metrics and typed drift. Different models; Bluefish's attribution is the distinctive piece.

  3. 03

    From gap to draft

    Choose based on: Whether the tool should diagnose the gap, write the brief and leave a draft in your CMS, or hand you a list to act on.

    Mentionova

    Opportunities are scored 0–100 on gap, reach, effort and heat, each with a diagnosis, a specific action and a content brief. The content workflow runs brief, research, keywords, article in your brand voice, fact-check, editor, approval and schema, then pushes a draft to WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Sanity or any webhook. Nothing goes live without you.

    Bluefish AI

    Recommendations/tactics, not content generation: "Agentic Campaigns then builds the execution plan to reach it."; "page-specific tactics grounded in your data: a blueprint for what to do next." (https://bluefishai.com/products/ai-optimization-suite). No briefs, article generation, or CMS publishing claims on fetched pages. Automation: "Agents handle the analysis and tactic creation; teams coordinate and ship."; "A gap surfaces. An Agent picks it up. Your team acts." (optimization suite). Homepage: "Static prompts, model-drift controls, MCP, and Agents — built for AI as a channel"..

    EdgeBluefish agents build execution plans and tactics for your team to ship. Mentionova drafts the content and pushes it to your CMS. Mentionova.

  4. 04

    Reddit

    Choose based on: Whether Reddit threads shape the answers in your category, and whether you want replies drafted or only citations counted.

    Mentionova

    Reddit is a tracked engine on Scale and above: the threads where your category is discussed, the citations that reach AI answers, and reply drafts in your voice. A person adds the disclosure and posts; the agent never posts for you.

    Bluefish AI

    Bluefish AI doesn't publish Reddit tracking on any page we fetched.

    EdgeNot published by Bluefish. Mentionova.

  5. 05

    Agencies and reporting

    Choose based on: How many clients you run, and whether the report has to carry your brand without a BI tool in between.

    Mentionova

    Isolated client workspaces (3 on Launch, 10 on Growth, custom on Enterprise) with a portfolio view across them. Reports share by link with a view count and a revoke switch; white-label covers logo, colour, tagline and footer. Agency plans start at $200 a month.

    Bluefish AI

    not published. Reporting: not published.

    EdgeBluefish publishes no agency or white-label features. Mentionova.

  6. 06

    Integrations, API and MCP

    Choose based on: Which of your systems need to connect without engineering, and whether your own agents will read and write the data.

    Mentionova

    38 API connectors, among them Ahrefs, DataForSEO, Semrush, Moz, HubSpot, Contentful and Ghost, plus Search Console and GA4. The v1 API is on Scale and above. The MCP server exposes 56 tools to any MCP client, so your own agents can create prompts, read runs and pull reports.

    Bluefish AI

    Bluefish AI lists 2 integrations: "15+ provider integrations", "native MCP integrations". API: not published. MCP: included.

    EdgeBluefish cites fifteen-plus provider integrations and native MCP without naming them, and has no API docs. Mentionova lists its 38 connectors, API and 56 MCP tools. Mentionova on transparency.

  7. 07

    Site audit and technical

    Choose based on: Whether technical and AEO checks belong in the same tool as the briefs, and whether you need crawler logs rather than page checks.

    Mentionova

    A 42-check audit: crawlability, on-page and duplicates, structured data, Core Web Vitals via PageSpeed Insights, mobile and security, internal links, hreflang, and four AEO checks for llms.txt, question H2s, entity schema and FAQ schema. AI traffic shows up as page attribution; Mentionova doesn't ingest crawler logs.

    Bluefish AI

    Site audit: not offered. Crawler log analytics: not offered. Security: not published.

    EdgeBluefish publishes no site audit or crawler analytics. Mentionova.

07 · Switching

From Bluefish AI to a baseline, in an afternoon.

About twenty minutes of your time, then thirty days of both tools running side by side. Nothing here touches your site.

  1. Step 12 min

    Start the trial

    No pixel, tag or code. Sign up, name the workspace, pick the engines. The first growth signal lands in about two minutes.

  2. Step 210 min

    Bring your prompts

    Export the prompt list from Bluefish AI and add it to the workspace; the API and the MCP server create prompts in bulk from a list. The first run sets your baseline on every engine the plan covers.

  3. Step 310 min

    Connect the systems

    Search Console, GA4 and your CMS, whether WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Sanity or a webhook, so briefs turn into drafts where your team already works.

  4. Step 40 min

    Run both for thirty days

    Keep Bluefish AI running. Compare the two on the questions above with your own data, then decide. Cancel either in a click.

What won't transfer

Bluefish AI's run history and dashboards stay in Bluefish AI; export them before you cancel anything. Prompts, competitor lists and brand-voice notes move in minutes. Mentionova starts its own history from the first run, so the sooner the trial starts, the longer the overlap you get to judge on.

08 · FAQ

Mentionova vs Bluefish AI, asked.

Bluefish AI doesn't publish a price for its entry plan (not published). Mentionova's Starter is $99 a month billed annually ($125 monthly) for 25 prompts on three engines with 100 agentic tasks, and Scale is $320 for 100 prompts on all six.
