Our verdict
Our pick: Searchly
Searchly is the better choice for most teams. Its $99 Starter plan tracks 50 prompts against Meteoria Starter's 25 and includes AI crawler logs, which Meteoria starts at Advanced (EUR 420), and the REST API and MCP server, which Meteoria keeps for Enterprise. AI shopping on ChatGPT, Search Console and the Agent come on the same plan; Meteoria lists e-commerce data only in its Enterprise API and documents no in-app assistant.

Where Searchly is stronger
- 50 prompts for $99 a month on Starter, each run on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity; Meteoria Starter tracks 25 daily prompts for EUR 75, so 50 prompts need Pro at EUR 175. Source
- AI crawler logs, GA4 AI visits and Search Console together on the $99 Starter plan, once you connect your log source; Meteoria starts AI log analysis at Advanced (EUR 420) and does not document Search Console in its plans. Source
- The REST API, MCP server and Agent on the $99 Starter plan; Meteoria lists its API (in beta) and MCP server on Enterprise, from EUR 700 a month on its French site, and documents no in-app assistant. Source
- AI shopping on every plan, Starter included: the products ChatGPT shows for your prompts, whose they are, their price, rating and retailer and where they rank. Meteoria names no shopping report in its plans and lists e-commerce only as a data type of its Enterprise API. Source

pricing
The same workload, priced on both.
One brand, 50 buyer prompts on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity, checked once a day in one country: a common base for AI visibility tracking. Every Searchly plan includes all three engines; where Meteoria counts or includes engines differently, the note says so.

| Monthly price | $99 | EUR 175 |
