Chatbeat Review 2026: Pricing, Features, Alternatives

Chatbeat review: a fair look from a competitor

Chatbeat is one of the closest competitors to what we do, so we are going to be careful to be fair. We build GetMentioned, a competing AI visibility tool, and Chatbeat covers much of the same ground for the same kind of European and Polish brands. Here is what Chatbeat is, who is behind it, what it does well, what it costs, and where we genuinely differ.

What Chatbeat is

Chatbeat is an AI visibility monitoring tool that tracks how your brand shows up, ranks, and is described across AI assistants including ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Copilot, Grok, and DeepSeek. It is built by Brand24, the established brand-monitoring company, and it is powered by Brand24’s data, which the company describes as more than 25 billion online mentions used to understand what feeds AI answers. In short, it is Brand24’s answer to the shift from social listening to AI-answer listening.

What it does well

Chatbeat has several real strengths. Its heritage is the clearest one: sitting on top of Brand24’s monitoring infrastructure and data gives it a mature view of the sources that shape AI answers, and the two products are explicitly complementary, with Brand24 tracking what people say and Chatbeat tracking what AI says. It leans into accuracy and sentiment, so it is strong for PR and communications teams that need to catch outdated or incorrect claims and watch how AI frames the brand, not just whether it is mentioned. It provides clear, usable metrics, including a Brand Score from 0 to 100, a median position, share of voice against competitors, and key-source analysis, and it lets you open the exact AI responses behind those numbers. It also offers suggested prompts to help teams find the questions buyers actually ask, a managed onboarding where the Chatbeat team sets up your first project, and an AI visibility certification program. The case-study proof is solid, with named results from brands such as Viessmann, Base, Worksmile, and Rankomat.

Chatbeat pricing (verified July 2026)

Chatbeat publishes tiered monthly pricing with a free trial that needs no credit card. The Essential plan is $99 per month and includes 30 prompts, one project, and two seats. The Advanced plan is $249 per month with 100 prompts and unlimited projects and seats. The Business plan is $599 per month with 300 prompts, unlimited projects and seats, white-labeled client reporting, and a dedicated project manager, which is aimed at agencies. Enterprise is custom and billed annually with unlimited prompts and full engine coverage. Engine coverage and the exact number of analyzed responses scale with the tier, and the site currently shows some variation between plan versions and advertises the trial as roughly 10 to 14 days depending on the page, so confirm the current details before you rely on them.

Honest limitations

A few things are worth knowing. The entry plan caps you at two seats and 30 prompts, so teams and agencies usually need the $249 Advanced plan to get unlimited seats and a workable prompt count. Chatbeat does not provide historical data from before you set up a project, because it starts collecting from that moment, which is a normal limit in this category but worth planning around. And because it is part of the wider Brand24 ecosystem, buyers who want a single dedicated AI-search tool rather than a suite should weigh whether they want the broader platform or a focused one.

Chatbeat versus GetMentioned

Where Chatbeat leads: the Brand24 data heritage and its 25-billion-mention corpus, a strong focus on accuracy and sentiment that suits PR and communications, managed onboarding, a certification program, and broad engine coverage at the higher tiers. If you already use Brand24, or you care most about narrative accuracy and misinformation, or you want a wide set of engines including Grok and DeepSeek, Chatbeat is a strong fit.

Where GetMentioned leads: our entry plan is EUR 89 per month and includes unlimited competitors and unlimited seats, where Chatbeat’s entry plan caps seats at two and competitor tracking is plan-dependent, so a team or agency starts more affordably with us. Our free visibility report needs no signup, so you can see your own data before creating any account. And we are a focused, pure-play AI-search analytics product with deep Polish and CEE coverage rather than one module inside a broader suite. Both tools track daily and let you open the underlying answers, so the honest difference here is pricing structure, the no-signup free report, and focus, not one tool seeing something the other cannot.

Who should choose which

Choose Chatbeat if you are already in the Brand24 world, if accuracy and sentiment monitoring for PR is your priority, or if you want the widest engine list and are comfortable on the $249 tier for a full team. Choose GetMentioned if you want unlimited competitors and seats on a lower entry plan, a free report you can run with no signup, and a dedicated AI-search tool with strong Polish and CEE depth.
