Which AI visibility vendor comparisons have we published?
Broadcastwell measures and fixes whether AI search engines name B2B software companies.
Run the free checkWe have published 13 AI visibility vendor comparisons that name 14 alternatives, from Profound and seoClarity to Seer Interactive and WebFX. Each one compares documented functions or published evidence, dated to the day we read the provider's own pages, and none declares a winner. This page lists them in one place with what each compares and when its sources were read.
Updated 9 November 2026.
A buyer comparing vendors needs the same thing from every comparison: the named alternative, the exact thing compared, the provider's own page and the date it was read. Our comparisons follow four rules:
- The provider's page controls. Every reported function links the provider's own page and the date we read it.
- Functions, not verdicts. We compare what each provider documents for a stated job. Where the evidence cannot pick a winner for an unspecified use case, the comparison says so.
- Alphabetical, not ranked. Agency records follow an eight-field publication scorecard in alphabetical order. Only Yes adds to a count; Partial, No and Not verified stay separate. Broadcastwell publishes the scorecard and is not scored.
- Our own measurements are labeled. Where a comparison uses one of our measurements, it is marked Measured with its base and capture date, and it is never presented as a test of the named provider.

How to use a comparison
Start from the job, not the vendor. A disputed-claim review, a brand-coverage chart and a dated change record are different outputs, and two vendors can both be right for different ones. Then ask each vendor the questions in our RFP guide, and check any client result they offer against our answer on how to evaluate a GEO case study.
A provider's page can change after we read it. Each row above gives the read date so you can open the provider's current page and see what moved; the provider's own page controls its offer. Our operating framework states what we promise and what we do not, in the same terms these comparisons use for others.
