Foglift vs The Rest
The best alternative to traditional SEO tools for AI search. Foglift is the only platform that combines SEO auditing, GEO monitoring, and AEO scoring — free to start, with API on every plan.
Why teams switch to Foglift
SEO tools ignore AI search. GEO tools ignore website health. Foglift does both.
SEO + GEO in one platform
Traditional SEO tools ignore AI search. GEO point solutions skip website health. Foglift is the only platform that scores both in a single scan.
API on every plan
Semrush gates API behind Guru ($250/mo). Ahrefs charges extra. Foglift includes REST API, CLI, and Claude MCP connector on every tier -- including free.
Free unlimited scans
No credit card. No signup wall. Scan any website and get SEO + GEO + AEO scores in 30 seconds. Competitors charge per scan or limit free tiers to a handful.
5 AI engines monitored
Track your brand across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overview. Most competitors cover 1-2 engines or charge enterprise pricing for multi-engine tracking.
