Daydream
Daydream is fundamentally a full-service SEO/GEO agency, senior strategists plus proprietary AI agents working your account as a retainer, with AI-search-visibility tracking (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Claude) bundled in as one part of that service, not a standalone self-serve product. That makes it a strong fit for B2B SaaS teams who want execution (content, technical fixes, link building) done for them, but a weaker fit for teams who want to log into a dashboard, run their own analysis, and control the tracking themselves. Menttion, by contrast, is a self-serve SaaS: broader engine coverage (9 vs. Daydream's ~4), full per-scan answer/citation storage, AI-crawler monitoring, revenue-linked analytics, and an automated ranked opportunity queue, all starting at $1 with transparent usage-based pricing versus Daydream's opaque, agency-level retainer reported around $15K/month.

No public pricing is listed on withdaydream.com; the site only offers a "Get started"/waitlist flow and a complimentary strategy audit for qualified companies. Independent reviewer tryanalyze.ai reports a minimum retainer of $15,000/month for senior-led engagement, scaling to $25K-$60K/month for larger programs, with one-time strategy diagnostics of $10K-$25K; these are third-party-reported figures, not figures Daydream itself publishes.
[02] Feature by feature
/ Capability ↔ Detail
| Capability | Menttion | Daydream |
|---|---|---|
| Engines/models tracked | 9 engines in one product: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek | Reported coverage of ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude (~4 surfaces) as part of an agency retainer, not a self-serve tracker |
| Full answer/citation storage | Every answer from every engine stored in full per scan (not sampled): position, sentiment, and every citation URL captured on a customer-set schedule | Tracks prompts and citations and reports on visibility/position/sentiment per response, but delivered via agency dashboards/reports rather than raw self-serve data export; depth described by third parties as trailing citation-tracking specialists |
| Sentiment analysis | Net sentiment per engine, attribute-level perception, head-to-head sentiment vs named competitors | Dashboard reportedly shows sentiment across responses per tracked prompt, bundled into the retainer reporting rather than a standalone perception module |
| AI crawler monitoring | Tracks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended crawler activity and ties it to on-site behavior | Not documented; no public mention of bot/crawler-log monitoring as a discrete feature |
| Analytics + revenue attribution | LLM Analytics joins GA4/GSC AI-referral traffic and crawler activity to on-site behavior, then to revenue via Shopify/WooCommerce/Stripe for an ROI number | AI Traffic Analytics dashboard breaks down sessions by engine (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot) via GA4 connection, showing real sessions and trends; no documented revenue/e-commerce attribution layer |
| Technical + AEO page auditing | Full-site crawl grading technical SEO, content depth, and AI-readiness per page; generates/verifies robots.txt and llms.txt; optional AI-judged deep-audit tier | Technical SEO audits (indexation, titles, meta descriptions) are part of the retainer, performed by strategists/agents; no public self-serve audit tool or llms.txt automation documented |
| Content creation & publishing | Content Studio: evidence-grounded briefs and AI drafts from citation/prompt data, block editor, scheduled auto-feed publishing | Programmatic SEO content generation at scale (hundreds of templated landing pages) plus on-page optimization, delivered by the agency team, a headline capability, arguably deeper on scaled content production than Menttion's, but it's agency-executed rather than self-serve |
| Ranked opportunity/action recommendations | Opportunity Engine turns every detected gap into a ranked, evidence-linked action auto-queued on a task board across 6 categories (content, site optimization, citations, PR, technical/AI access, tracking) | Recommendations come through the assigned strategist/team as part of ongoing retainer work, not as an automated ranked in-app action queue |
| Starting price | $1 one-time snapshot report, then build-your-own custom plan (pay only for engines/prompt volume tracked), plus agency pooled-billing mode | Custom, contact sales: reported minimum retainer ~$15,000/month (scaling to $25K to $60K/month), no public self-serve pricing tiers |
