Key takeaways
- AIclicks and Cometly are not really competitors. AIclicks is a dedicated AI search visibility (GEO) tool; Cometly is a marketing attribution platform that touches on AI visibility mostly through blog content, not a core product feature.
- AIclicks is dramatically cheaper to get started with. Starter plans begin at $59/mo versus Cometly's effective entry price of roughly $750/mo once you factor in the Core plan and a $1,500 onboarding fee that third parties report (Cometly itself won't publish numbers).
- Cometly's strength is closed-loop revenue attribution, tying Stripe, HubSpot, and ad platform data to actual closed-won ARR. AIclicks doesn't attempt this at all.
- AIclicks gates model access by tier, so Claude and Grok tracking only unlock on the $499/mo Business plan. If you need full-model coverage on a budget, that's worth knowing before you buy the Starter plan.
- Cometly has no self-serve free trial; AIclicks has a short 3-day trial, which is thin but at least lets you poke around before paying.
- If your actual goal is AI search visibility and you've landed here comparing these two, you're probably better served comparing AIclicks against other GEO-specific tools rather than against an attribution platform like Cometly.
Overview
AIclicks tracks how a brand shows up across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and (on higher tiers) Claude and Grok. It monitors prompts, scores visibility against competitors, and flags the sources (Reddit threads, review sites, forums) that AI engines pull answers from. It also ships lightweight AI blog drafts meant to help close visibility gaps, though reviewers consistently note these need heavy editing before publishing.
Cometly is a marketing attribution platform aimed at B2B SaaS companies spending real money on paid acquisition. It connects Stripe, HubSpot, and ad platforms (Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok) to show which channels actually drive closed-won revenue, not just clicks or leads. It recently added an AI "Agent" you can ask plain-English questions like "what's my ROAS over the last 30 days" and an MCP integration so Claude or GPT can query your attribution data directly. AI visibility shows up on Cometly's blog as a content topic (it reviews tools like Profound and Peec AI), but it is not something the product itself tracks.

Head-to-head feature deep-dive
What each tool actually measures
AIclicks measures mentions. It tells you how often your brand appears across a set of tracked prompts, compares that to competitors, and surfaces which domains (Reddit, HubSpot's blog, Product Hunt, whatever is feeding the AI's answer) are winning the citations you're missing. That's useful if your problem is "I don't know if ChatGPT even knows my product exists."
Cometly measures dollars. It tells you which channel, campaign, or even individual ad actually produced a closed-won deal in Stripe, reconciled against HubSpot. That's useful if your problem is "I'm spending $80k/month on ads and don't trust last-click attribution to tell me what's working."
These are not overlapping questions. Verdict: pick based on the problem, not the brand name.
Pricing structure and transparency
| Plan tier | AIclicks | Cometly |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | $59/mo (30 prompts, 3 models) | ~$750/mo (Core, up to 50k sessions, per wetracked.io) |
| Mid | $189/mo (150 prompts, 4 models incl. AI Overviews) | ~$1,349-$1,949/mo (150k-300k sessions) |
| Top published | $499/mo (300+ prompts, 6 models incl. Claude, Grok) | ~$3,149/mo near 1M sessions |
| Enterprise | Custom | $1,495/mo+ (per G2) |
| Onboarding fee | None mentioned | $1,500 one-time, per third-party source |
AIclicks publishes clear numbers on its pricing page. Cometly does not publish numeric pricing at all anymore; its own site only shows "Core" and "Enterprise" with "Get started" or "Talk to sales" buttons. Third-party estimates for Cometly range wildly, from $199-$500/mo (GetHookd) to $750-$3,149/mo (wetracked.io), which itself tells you something: if a vendor's pricing is this inconsistent across reviewers, expect a sales call and some negotiation room. Verdict: AIclicks wins on transparency, no contest.
Model and channel coverage
AIclicks tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini out of the gate, then adds Google AI Overviews at Pro and Claude plus Grok only at the $499/mo Business tier. If you need full coverage of the major AI engines and you're trying to start cheap, you'll hit a wall fast; the Starter plan's 3-model limit means you're blind to Claude and Grok mentions entirely until you upgrade twice.
Cometly's "channel coverage" is a different animal: Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft, Reddit, and Snapchat ad platforms, plus server-side Conversion API support on both plans. It has nothing to do with AI search engines.
Content and action capabilities
AIclicks ships AI blog drafts (10 to 30 per month depending on tier) aimed at closing the visibility gaps it identifies. Third-party scoring from ContentMonk rates this capability low, 3 out of 10, noting the drafts need heavy editing before they're publishable. So treat this as a starting point, not a finished content engine.
Cometly has no content generation feature. Its "action" layer is the AI Agent, which answers attribution questions in plain English ("which sources brought the most contacts last week") and can push accurate attribution data back to ad platforms for better bid optimization. That's a genuinely different kind of action: optimizing ad spend decisions, not producing content.
If your actual need is AI-search content optimization that goes further than draft blog posts, this is where a dedicated GEO platform pulls ahead of both tools here. Promptwatch runs Content Agents that plan, write, and publish GEO-optimized articles straight to Webflow, Framer, or WordPress on a schedule, plus crawler logs showing exactly which AI bots hit your pages and whether they error out before they can cite you. Neither AIclicks nor Cometly gets that deep into the
