AirOps
AirOps is a real, actively operating AI-search/AEO platform (founded 2021) that pairs AI-visibility tracking across five major answer engines with its own AI content-production agent, Quill, aimed at enterprise SEO and content teams who want to both diagnose and immediately act on AI-citation gaps. It is strongest where Menttion is thinnest today, mature workflow-driven content automation at scale, while Menttion tracks more engines (9 vs 5, including Copilot, Grok, and DeepSeek), publishes a full stored answer/citation record per scan, and adds AI-crawler log monitoring, technical/AEO page auditing with robots.txt/llms.txt generation, and revenue attribution through connected e-commerce and payment platforms that AirOps does not publicly document. Pricing philosophy also differs: Menttion leads with a $1 one-time snapshot before a pay-for-what-you-track custom plan, while AirOps leads with a capped free tier and gates real multi-engine tracking behind a Pro plan whose price isn't published outright.

/ Menttion ↔ AirOps
Menttion
The AI search visibility platform: nine answer engines tracked, every answer stored with citations and sentiment, an Opportunity Engine that turns gaps into ranked plays, and a Content Studio and Page Audit to act on them.
Starting price
$1 one-time snapshot, then a metered plan you build yourself
AirOpsAI-search/AEO growth platform (visibility tracking + AI content generation & publishing for enterprise SEO/content teams)
An AI-search/AEO growth platform that tracks brand mentions and citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, then uses an AI content agent (Quill) to close the loop by producing and refreshing content to win those citations.
Starting price
$0/month (Insights free tier); paid Pro/Solo tiers exist but list task/prompt limits rather than a public dollar price on the pricing page
airops.com/pricing lists five tiers: Insights (Free, $0/mo, 1 user, 100 tracked prompts capped lower on Solo), Solo (20,000 tasks, 100 tracked prompts/pages, ChatGPT-only insights, overage at $0.025/task), Pro (\"Recommended\", 75,000 tasks, 250 tracked prompts/pages, multi-engine insights across Google/Perplexity/ChatGPT/Google AI Studio, weekly opportunity reports), Pages (custom/contact sales), and Enterprise (custom, multi-region/persona/language, dedicated onboarding). Exact Solo/Pro dollar prices were not shown as plain text in the fetched page (likely rendered via interactive pricing widget). A 14-day trial of "Scale plan" features and 50,000 free workflow credits are also offered.
