What you get

For every prompt on every engine, one row with:

• Competitors: which ones are named, each with position and citation.
• Brands the AI highlighted in the answer (ChatGPT).
• Sources: every cited website with domain, URL and title, so you see which pages to get featured on.
• The full answer as markdown, plus the web searches ChatGPT ran to write it.
• A link to ask the same question yourself.

Engines:

• ChatGPT – the answer a ChatGPT user sees, with web search, sources and brand highlights.
• Google AI Mode – Google's AI answer with its references.

Pricing

Pay per event, no subscription:

• $0.04 per AI answer (one prompt on one engine). Launch price until 31 October 2026: $0.03.
• $0.001 per run start.

Examples at $0.04: 20 prompts on ChatGPT cost $0.80. 20 prompts on both engines cost $1.60. Tracking 10 prompts on ChatGPT every week costs about $1.75 a month.

You can cap the cost of a run with the maximum charge setting; the Actor only asks for the answers the budget covers. Failed requests (provider errors, timeouts) are never charged. An answer is charged when the AI engine returned it, also in the rare case it contains no text (it then shows answer_length: 0, which counts as "not mentioned"). Live answers need a paid Apify plan (any plan); the pre-filled example works on the free plan.

Track it every week

1. Fill in your prompts, brand and competitors, then click Save as a new task.
2. In the task, open Schedules and run it weekly (or daily).
3. Each run adds a dataset you can compare: share of prompts where your brand is mentioned, average position, and which sources the AI cites.

Tip: use 10–30 prompts that real customers ask, and keep them the same from week to week so the trend is meaningful.

Good to know

• AI answers change from one ask to the next. For a stable picture, track the same prompts regularly and look at the trend, or ask important prompts more than once.
• Brand matching is by name (whole words, case-insensitive) and by domain. Use the spelling customers use, e.g. Zoho CRM or monday.com.
• brand_position is the order of first mention among your brand and the competitors you list.
• A run asks up to 5 questions at a time; each ChatGPT answer takes 20–60 seconds.
• Where the data comes from: the live answer ChatGPT gives a web user (with web search and sources) and Google's live AI Mode answer, collected through DataForSEO's licensed AI and SERP endpoints, so runs are not blocked.
