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 SE Visible

  • Only five engines; "Claude will be added soon" — no Claude/Copilot/Grok today Source
  • "Not yet" on white-label; "There's no PDF export yet" Source
  • No content briefs/generation, no site audit, no bot analytics on any fetched page Source
  • Seven countries only (US, UK, CA, FR, DE, NL, ES) Source

05 · Criterion by criterion

Seven things that actually differ.

Mentionova's column describes the product as shipped. The SE Visible 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.

    SE Visible

    SE Visible names 5 engines: ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity. "SE Visible tracks the same five engines on all plans...no per-engine add-ons"; "Claude will be added soon"; Copilot planned (blog/how-se-visible-works). Collected "through a real browser session in each engine's user interface", not APIs. Run cadence: "Results are refreshed daily across all tracked prompts and AI platforms" (homepage); "Daily by default...Depending on your plan, you can switch a project to weekly" (how-it-works).

    EdgeSE Visible runs five engines daily on every plan. Mentionova runs six on schedule, with Claude and Reddit. SE Visible on cadence, Mentionova on coverage.

  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.

    SE Visible

    SE Visible reports Visibility score, Share of Voice, Average position, Net Sentiment, Brand mentions vs linked citations, Sources: domain/URL citation share, AIO presence rate and organic top-20 overlap, Gap score, Period-over-period change. Prompt volume or demand data: not published. Typed change alerts: not published as a feature.

    EdgeSE Visible's net sentiment and gap score against Mentionova's seven metrics and typed drift. Even.

  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.

    SE Visible

    No briefs or content generation published. Action layer is source-driven: Gap score surfaces "Pages that cite your competitors but not you"; guidance to "Reach out to the source owner to fix it" for inaccurate descriptions (how-se-visible-works). Roadmap: "Personalized insights" recommendations and source-gap prioritization (plans-for-2026 post). Automation: No agents published. "A weekly email also flags changes in your projects" (how-it-works); homepage mentions "Automate multiple-client management" for agencies; competitors and prompts auto-suggested at setup..

    EdgeSE Visible publishes no briefs or drafting; recommendations are on its roadmap. 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.

    SE Visible

    SE Visible doesn't track Reddit as a surface. not published.

    EdgeSE Visible lists Reddit mentions as a roadmap item. 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.

    SE Visible

    Projects per plan (3/5/10); no white-label; targets "agency owners"; "Automate multiple-client management" (homepage). Countries: "US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain"; languages "English, French, German, Dutch, or Spanish".. Reporting: Data Studio connector; CSV/XLSX; "There's no PDF export yet"; white-label: "Not yet. Currently, Agency Pack is available for the SE Ranking platform only" (homepage FAQ).

    EdgeSE Visible answers 'not yet' on white-label and caps projects per plan. Mentionova has white-label and priced workspaces. 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.

    SE Visible

    SE Visible lists 3 integrations: Google Data Studio connector, API, CSV / XLSX export. API: included. MCP: not published.

    EdgeSE Visible: API on all plans, Data Studio, CSV. Mentionova: 38 connectors, API, MCP. Mentionova.

  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.

    SE Visible

    Site audit: not offered. Crawler log analytics: not offered. Security: SE Ranking privacy policy: GDPR rights ("Right of Access", "Right to Erasure", "Right to Data Portability"); "Seranking Ltd and SER Acquisition Inc. are joint controllers"; SOC 2 / ISO / SSO / encryption not published (seranking.com/security.html returns 404)..

    EdgeSE Visible has no site audit. Mentionova.

07 · Switching

From SE Visible 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 SE Visible 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 SE Visible running. Compare the two on the questions above with your own data, then decide. Cancel either in a click.

What won't transfer

SE Visible's run history and dashboards stay in SE Visible; 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.

Start the overlap

08 · FAQ

Mentionova vs SE Visible, asked.

SE Visible's entry plan is Basic at from $99/mo, which buys 200 prompts; about 30,000 AI answers a month; 3 projects; all five engines; API. 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. Compare what each plan includes, not the headline number.

Not as of 10 October 2026; its site says Claude will be added soon. Mentionova tracks Claude on Scale and above.

It's a separate product from the same company, with its own plans; SE Ranking's Agency Pack and white-label don't apply to it yet. Note that sevisible.com is an unrelated Mexican ad agency; the product lives at visible.seranking.com.

Yes. Export your prompt list, add the prompts to a Mentionova workspace (the API and the MCP server can create them in bulk from a list), and the first run gives you a baseline on every engine your plan covers. Your SE Visible history stays in your SE Visible exports.

Yes. Mentionova needs no pixel, tag or code, so the 14-day trial runs next to SE Visible without touching your site. Most teams compare a month of both before deciding.

SE Visible: "Results are refreshed daily across all tracked prompts and AI platforms" (homepage); "Daily by default...Depending on your plan, you can switch a project to weekly" (how-it-works).
