24 alternatives to Aventos – An experiment in cheap AI SEO

Hi HN, we built Aventos- a cheap way to track company mentions in LLMs. Aventos is an experiment we're doing after spending ~6 weeks working on various projects in the AI search / GEO / AEO space. One thing that surprised us is how most tools in this category work. Traditionally, they simulate ChatGPT or Perplexity queries by attempting to reverse engineer the search process. Over the past year, many have shifted to scraping live ChatGPT results instead, since those are signficantly cheaper and reflect more real outputs. Building and maintaining scrapers is tedious and fragile, so…

Aventos tracks how often companies are mentioned in large language models like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Rather than simulating queries or building fragile scrapers, it wraps existing third-party APIs to monitor LLM… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Prices are shown for the 1 we have checked on their own sites, 1 of them free or with a free tier.

    Hi HN, We just launched [AI Page Ready](https://aipageready.com) — a tool to check if your web pages are discoverable and understandable by AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. It runs 40+ checks across six areas: Discoverability & Crawlability, Structured Data & Semantics, Content Quality, Answer-Ready Formatting, Accessibility & Rendering, and Deep AI LLM-specific checks. Would love your feedback — especially if you work in eCommerce, SEO, content, SaaS, or are trying to get traffic from AI tools. (Also open to ideas on what else to add to the tool!)

    I built a tool that scans AI platforms with buyer questions relevant to your domain and shows you whether they mention you or not. Enter your domain, it generates queries based on your space, sends them to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI, then scores you out of 100 based on how often you show up in the responses. The part I think is actually useful: it doesn't just tell you the problem. It shows you which queries you're missing from, why, and gives you fix pages (structured content designed to be citable by LLMs) and weekly action plans. Free scan on the homepage, no signup needed.
