Free AI visibility check
See how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity describe your brand — free, no card, no install, first read in minutes. Sonarvue's free Starter tier is the AI visibility check: it shows whether the engines name you, where you sit, who they name instead, and your share of voice.
What a free AI visibility check shows you
Your buyers now ask an AI before they reach your site. They type a buying question into ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity and read one confident answer that names two or three brands. If the AI does not name you, you are not in the consideration set — and nothing in a normal marketing stack measures that. A free AI visibility check is the fastest honest way to find out where you stand.
To be clear about what this is: there is no gimmicky widget that flashes a score at you. The free check is the real product on its free tier. You add a brand, pick the prompts your buyers ask, and Sonarvue captures the actual answers the engines give and judges your place inside them. Here is what that first read tells you:
Named or not
The first thing you learn: does the AI mention your brand at all for the prompt, or does it answer the buying question without you in it.
Position
If you are named, where you land — first recommendation, an also-ran in a list, or a footnote. Position inside the answer is close to position inside the buyer's shortlist.
Sentiment
How the model talks about you — the framing it puts around your brand, which is what the buyer reads before they ever click.
Who's named instead
The competitors the engine recommends in your place — often not the list on your battlecard, but the one the AI actually surfaces for your prompts.
Share of voice
How often you are named versus those competitors across the answers, turned into one number you can track instead of a pile of scattered screenshots.
How to run the check in three steps
The whole point of a free check is that it should not cost you a week of setup. There is no engineering ticket and nothing to wire up. Three steps and your first read is in front of you:
01 Add your brand
Tell Sonarvue your brand name and a competitor or two you want to measure against. No tag, no SDK, no site change — Sonarvue reads public AI answers, so there is nothing to install.
02 Pick the prompts
Choose the buying questions your customers actually ask an AI before they reach your site — the kind of 'what's the best X for Y' a prospect types into ChatGPT or Perplexity. Start with a handful; you can refine them later.
03 Read in minutes
Sonarvue captures the real answer from each engine and judges it: are you named, where you sit, how the model talks about you, and which rivals it lists instead. Your first read completes in minutes, not after an engineering ticket.
Why it is free, and what free includes
Sonarvue is in beta, and the Starter tier is free on purpose — the honest first move in this category is to look at the answers before you spend anything. The free check covers one brand across three engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity), runs on a weekly cadence, gives you a share-of-voice number, and emails you when a citation or a rival moves. No card, no trial countdown, no install.
When you outgrow the free read, Growth is $149/mo: three brands, all six engines (adding Claude, Copilot, and Google AI Mode), a daily cadence, the competitor radar, GEO actions that turn each gap into a concrete page fix, and API access. Scale is custom pricing for agencies running many brands. But you never have to start there — the free check stands on its own.
What the free check does not do
Honesty matters more than a tidy pitch, so here are the limits. Sonarvue reads the public AI answer surface — it does not read your site, your analytics, or your customer data, and it is not a page-speed or on-page SEO audit. It measures what the models say about you in the open, not your traffic. And if your buyers do not yet research with an AI, the free read will be thin; this is most useful in categories where the answer engine already sits in the buying path. The free check is a monitor that starts with a first read, not a one-time spot lookup — its value compounds as it tracks the answer over time.
Run your free AI visibility check now
The first read takes minutes and costs nothing. You will know, on day one, whether the AI shortlists you or a competitor for the questions that drive your pipeline — and that is usually the most useful thing a marketing team learns all quarter, even when the answer stings.
