Pricing

Priced on citation evidence, not prompt volume.

Citations.io meters what generates insight — analysed AI answers and source-influence updates — so you can scale tracked prompts without scaling the bill linearly. 14-day free trial. No credit card to start.

Priced on evidence, not noise

We charge for analysed answers and source-influence updates — the work that actually moves the needle — not for how many prompts you list.

Confidence built in

Every plan ships with sample-size badges (Directional / Moderate / Strong) so leaders trust the number, not just the chart.

Citation intelligence by default

Source classifier, influence score, and local vs national support are included from Starter — they are the product, not an upsell.

How metering works

One analysed answer = one unit.

When a prompt is sampled across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, each engine response we collect, parse for brand and competitor mentions, and resolve citations on counts as one analysed answer. Re-runs of the same prompt within a refresh window count once.

Why not price per prompt?

Two prompts with very different commercial value can take the same effort to track but produce very different signal. Pricing on analysed answers keeps the unit honest and lets you experiment with prompt coverage.

What about citation tracking?

Citation coverage, source classification, and Source Influence Score are included on every plan. They are how the product gives you something to do — gating them defeats the point.

What counts as a sampled refresh?

A scheduled run that re-samples your tracked prompts across enabled engines. Manual re-scans are separate and capped by plan to keep abuse out.

Can I see usage in real time?

Yes — once you start your trial, the Usage page shows prompts tracked, answers used, and refresh windows live, with 80% warnings before any limit hits.
