Product overview
What is Knowatoa?
Knowatoa's free 60-second scan is a one-shot lead-gen audit, but the paid product is ongoing: it re-runs a tracked question set weekly across ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, and Perplexity, reporting brand mentions, competitor share of voice, sentiment trend, and which URLs/domains get cited.
Its AI Search Console monitors AI bot crawl access to the site (status codes, bot failures), and its agents (Connie, Sam, Sophie) research content gaps and draft/auto-publish articles and LinkedIn/Bluesky posts through connected CMSs (WordPress, GitHub, Payload) on a review-or-auto-approve schedule.
Based on its published feature set, Knowatoa brings brand mention monitoring, citation tracking, sentiment analysis, competitor benchmarking, prompt discovery, and share-of-voice reporting into one workflow, with 6 more verified capabilities documented below.
How it measures AI visibility

Who it's for
Best for
marketers and marketing/SEO agencies — plans scale from small teams 'getting their bearings in AI search' (Starter) to agencies managing multiple clients (Growth/Enterprise with Organization Accounts)
Skip if
You need off-site citation building, outreach, schema or llms.txt generation — we confirmed those aren't offered.

Pricing
Knowatoa's pricing page ↗| Plan | Price | Engines | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $59/mo | 3 of 7ChatGPTGoogle AI OverviewsGoogle AI Mode | daily Full notesHide notesFor small teams. Includes (per both the pricing-page comparison table and the homepage's own Starter card): competitor visibility gaps, citation/source trust tracking, brand sentiment alerts, tracking in every language & market, weekly digest of what changed, Slack & email support, custom questions/terms per brand, unlimited sites per account (FAQ: 'you can track an unlimited number of sites on the same account. All sites share the same question limit' — so the question/topic volume is capped but the numeric cap is never published anywhere on the site). AI search services: 3 named engines only (ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode). UNRESOLVED CONTRADICTION: the pricing page's feature-comparison table marks 'AI agents' as NOT included at Starter ('—'), but the homepage's own Starter plan card explicitly lists '✓ AI agents that research and draft for you' as one of Starter's checked benefits. Both were read directly off the live site; not reconciled here. |
| Growth | $199/mo | 7 of 7ChatGPTGoogle AI OverviewsGoogle AI ModeClaudeGeminiMeta AIPerplexity | daily MOST POPULAR Full notesHide notes'MOST POPULAR' on the page. Marketed as 'Everything in Starter, plus': full 7-engine coverage (ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, Perplexity), no stated volume/topic limit ('Track more topics without worrying about volume limits' — implying Starter's limit, itself never quantified, is lifted here), reporting-stack integrations (API access, MCP server, Looker Studio, NinjaCat). UNRESOLVED CONTRADICTION: the homepage's own Growth plan card explicitly lists '✓ Get a dedicated account rep who knows your setup' as one of Growth's checked benefits, but the pricing page's feature-comparison table marks 'Dedicated account rep' as NOT included at Growth ('—') and Enterprise-only. Both were read directly off the live site (confirmed via two separate targeted fetches of the same comparison table); not reconciled here — a buyer should not assume either claim over the other without asking sales. |
| Enterprise | Custom | 7 of 7ChatGPTGoogle AI OverviewsGoogle AI ModeClaudeGeminiMeta AIPerplexity | daily Full notesHide notesEverything in Growth (same 7-engine coverage, confirmed the same row value as Growth on the comparison table — Enterprise does not add engine coverage beyond Growth) plus: dedicated account rep, custom volume & scale, custom integrations, priority feature requests. Contact-sales only, no published price. |
What $59/mo actually buys

Not published is not a no.Yes means it is on their site. Doesn't means we read a page that would list it and it wasn't there. A blank in their docs is a gap in ours — not a claim about their product.
