AI competitor analysis tool: see who owns the answer.

NorthPay against four rivals, across all engines and then ChatGPT: share of voice, why Paylane leads, and the counter-page drafted for review.
The problem
A rival half your sizekeeps getting recommended.
They show up in every AI answer in your category, and you can't tell what they did. Your rank reports look fine and their traffic is invisible to you, so the only strategy left is to publish more and hope.

Who owns each engine's answer.
Your share of the answers across your prompt set, against every rival named in the same answers, per engine and refreshed weekly. A rival can own one engine while you lead overall, and this is where it shows.
Paylane · Google AI — Paylane owns this engine, 81% to your 34%

Name them. Compare. Counter.
01 · Name rivals
Add the rivals you want to beat
Name your competitors when you set up the workspace. Mentionova runs them through the same prompts on all six engines as your own brand, side by side.
02 · Compare
See the answers side by side
Every prompt resolves to who was named, who was cited, and who was named instead of you, on each engine, so a loss has a name on it.
03 · Counter
Find why they win, then answer it
Open any engine where a rival leads to see the sources cited for them and not you, then review the counter-page drafted for those sources.
Competitor monitoring
When a rival moves, the counter is drafted.
When a rival's page starts earning citations, the Competitor Research agent finds the sources driving it and drafts your counter-page for your team to review. Nothing is published on its own.
- Watches rival pages, pricing and launches
- Finds the sources driving their citations
- Drafts the counter-page, then waits for you

Questions, answered.
AI share of voice is your percentage of all citations produced across a set of prompts, measured against the named rivals that appear in the same answers. If six answers each mention three brands and you appear in four of them, your share of voice is roughly 22% of all citations. Mentionova computes it weekly and per engine, so you can see whether the gap is closing or widening over time instead of relying on a single snapshot.
Every tracked prompt carries a win or loss marker. Open any loss and Mentionova shows the rival cited first, their source page and the engine it happened on, which gives you a precise brief for the content you need to publish. Because every run is kept, you can also see when you lost the prompt, and then watch whether your counter-page wins it back.
A competitor analysis tool for AI search measures how often AI engines recommend you compared with your rivals, and why. Mentionova runs the same buying questions for you and every named competitor across six engines, then reports share of voice, mention and citation rates, position and sentiment side by side. The why comes from the sources: the pages, reviews and threads each engine cites for a rival and not for you.
You name your rivals when you set up a workspace. Mentionova runs them through the same prompts and engines as your own brand, tags every citation with whether a competitor appeared, and shows three views: share-of-voice bars, a co-mention overlap matrix, and a per-prompt head-to-head list with the rival cited first and their source page.
For AI search, yes. Traditional competitive intelligence tools track rivals' pricing pages, ads and web traffic. Mentionova tracks what AI engines say about them compared with you: who gets recommended, on which engines, and which sources earn them the citation. The Competitor Research agent also watches rival pages, pricing and launches, and drafts your counter-move for approval.
Share of voice is refreshed weekly. Every tracked prompt runs against all six engines for you and every named rival, and every run is kept, so you can trend the gap over time and see the week a competitor pulled ahead, rather than looking at a single snapshot.
All six: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI and Reddit. Comparison is computed per engine, so you can see where a rival owns one engine even if you lead overall, and where a single engine is quietly recommending someone else to your buyers.
Yes. A co-mention overlap matrix shows which named rivals keep appearing in the same answers you do, and on which engines. It tells you who the models treat as your real substitutes, which can be a different list from the competitors your sales team names.
