Citare FAQs

What is Citare?

Citare is an AI search intelligence platform with a full Ahrefs-class SEO suite bundled at every paid tier. Track your brand across ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity while running traditional SEO (Site Explorer, Keywords Explorer, Rank Tracker, Site Audit) from one subscription.

Who is Citare for?

Founders running SEO themselves, in-house SEOs whose CMO is asking about ChatGPT visibility, agencies managing 5-50 brands, and Indian/APAC buyers who want native INR billing instead of USD-only competitors.

What does Citare cost?

Free forever tier (no credit card). Pulse at $35/month or ₹2,999/month. Pro at $119/month or ₹9,999/month. Agency at $299/month or ₹24,999/month. Enterprise from $1,200/month. Studio Concierge add-on at $600/month for done-for-you work.

Is there a free trial?

No trial needed — there's a free forever tier. It includes 1 project, weekly 50-cell Brand Radar across all 5 AI engines, 23 free utility tools, and basic SEO data. Most evaluators use the free tier instead of asking for a trial.

Does Citare offer INR pricing for Indian customers?

Yes — native INR billing via Razorpay with GST-compliant invoices. Indian visitors auto-detect to INR pricing on /pricing. All paid tiers are priced in rupees as a first-class option, not a USD conversion.

Which AI search engines does Citare track?

All 5 major engines: ChatGPT (Bing-grounded), Google AI Overview (vision-parsed screenshots), Gemini, Claude (Brave-grounded), and Perplexity. Most competitors skip Claude and/or AIO. Citare ships both at every paid tier.

What SEO features are included?

Site Explorer (backlinks, referring domains, domain rating), Keywords Explorer (volume, KD, CPC), Rank Tracker, Site Audit, Content Explorer, Bot Analytics (track AI crawlers visiting your site), Web Analytics (first-party cookieless), and GSC Insights. All included at every paid tier.

How does Citare compare to Ahrefs or Semrush?

Citare bundles the same SEO surface (Site Explorer, Keywords, Rank Tracker, Site Audit) + 5-engine AI search measurement. Ahrefs Lite is $129/month with no AI search. Semrush Pro is $139/month with Perplexity in beta only. Citare Pulse covers both surfaces at $35/month.

How does Citare compare to AI-only tools like Profound or Otterly?

Profound and Otterly are pure-play AI search monitoring with no SEO suite. To match Citare's surface you'd need Profound + Ahrefs (around $1,128/month combined). Citare Pro is $119/month for both. Citare also tracks Claude (Brave-grounded) which Profound skips.

Does Citare integrate with Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4?

Yes. GSC connects via direct OAuth and pulls 16 months of historical data on first sync. GA4 integration reads traffic data alongside SEO performance. Both are available from the Pulse tier onward.

Does Citare have an API or MCP server?

Yes to both. REST API at every paid tier with full feature parity. MCP server (Streamable HTTP, 59 tools) included at Pro tier and above — works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Windsurf, and Cline.

Can I migrate from Ahrefs or Semrush?

Yes. Export your project + keyword lists as CSV from your existing tool, import into Citare's Brand Radar setup, connect GSC + GA4. Most migrations finish in under 30 minutes. Your historical data carries over via the GSC sync.

What's the refund policy?

7-day money-back guarantee on first-time monthly subscriptions. No questions asked. Annual subscriptions are pro-rated on cancellation. Free tier never expires and requires no credit card.

Does Citare support SSO and enterprise compliance?

SSO (SAML / OIDC) is available at the Enterprise tier from $1,200/month. Enterprise includes custom data retention, dedicated success engineer, contractual SLAs, and configurable region preferences. SOC2 in progress for 2026.

How is Brand Radar different from generic AI monitoring tools?

Brand Radar runs persona-anchored 50-cell weekly dispatches across all 5 engines using 3-4 ICP profiles per project. Most competitors run single-pass measurement with one generic persona — that misses the buyer-persona-specific surface variance (often 30-40 points on the same brand same week).
