Action layer

Content workflows, an AI agent that drafts page refreshes, brand kits, CMS publishing and off-site mention work.

We couldn't verify: Which engines make up Pro's "7+". We'd rather leave a gap than print a number we haven't read ourselves.

What is AirOps?

AirOps calls itself "the growth platform for AI search". It was founded in 2022 by Alex Halliday, Matt Hammel and Berna Gonzalez, has offices in New York and San Francisco, and says it has raised $60M, most recently a $40M Series B led by Greylock in November 2025.

Its Insights product tracks visibility, recommendations, citations, sentiment and position on answer engines including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, and breaks the results down by model, region, topic, buying stage and competitor.

Most of the platform is about producing content: workflows, an agent called Quill that drafts refreshes of existing pages, brand kits, knowledge bases and CMS integrations. Plans are metered in content tasks rather than prompts.

Where is AirOps genuinely strong?

✓Ties visibility data directly to content work: its Insights feed workflows and an agent (Quill) that drafts page refreshes for human review.
✓Detailed breakdowns of visibility by model, audience, region, topic, buying stage, competitor and source.
✓Unlimited seats on Pro, with brand kits and knowledge bases to keep generated content on-brand.
✓Well funded: $60M raised to date, including a $40M Series B led by Greylock in November 2025.

Where does AirOps fall short?

✕No public dollar pricing.
✕The Solo plan tracks ChatGPT only; other engines start on Pro.
✕Prompt limits are not published, and Pro's "7+ answer engines" are not all named.

The honest verdict

AirOps is for content teams that want AI visibility data to feed straight into producing and refreshing pages at volume. If you mainly need to measure where you appear, it is a lot of platform for that job, the entry plan covers ChatGPT only, and you cannot see a price without talking to them.

Where CoreCited is different

1. We tell you if you're in the core, or just the carousel

AI answers churn — SISTRIX measured 56% weekly source churn in Google AI Mode across 82,619 prompts. But the same study found that in AI Mode 86.5% of prompts keep a stable core of 1–5 domains that persist week after week, while 89% of the remaining domains rotate weekly. So "am I mentioned?" is close to a coin flip. The question that matters is whether you're in the durable core or the churn. No other tool distinguishes these.

2. We show you the error bars, and grey out the noise

Share of voice is estimated from a finite sample, so it carries sampling error. On a realistic sample, brands sitting at 27%, 25% and 22% are statistically indistinguishable — their confidence ranges overlap completely. Every other dashboard renders that as a confident 1–2–3 ranking. We mark it as a tie and tell you not to act on it.

3. We tell you when the fix didn't work

Mark a content brief published and we snapshot where you stand, then measure whether it actually moved you — and we'll say "no movement" or "you slipped" when that's the truth. A loop that can only report success is marketing, not measurement.

What do people ask about AirOps?

How much does AirOps cost?

AirOps does not publish a price. No price is published. The pricing page lists Solo (ChatGPT insights only, 35,000 content tasks a month, one user), Pro (insights across 7+ answer engines, 100,000 tasks, unlimited seats) and Enterprise, all without dollar amounts. Anything you read elsewhere claiming a specific figure was not taken from their own page, because there is not one to take.

Does AirOps have a free plan?

A 14-day free trial, with no payment details needed until it ends. No free plan. It is worth reading that carefully: in this category "free" most often means a time-limited trial with a card up front, which is a different thing from a plan that stays free.

Which AI engines does AirOps track?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode — 6 surfaces as listed on their own site. Counts in this category are not always comparable: some tools count a model and the product built on it as two engines, so compare the named surfaces rather than the number.

Is there a cheaper alternative to AirOps?

AirOps does not publish a price, so a direct comparison is not possible. Rankscale is the cheapest published entry point in this table at $20 a month, and CoreCited starts at $69.

What does AirOps not do?

No public dollar pricing. The Solo plan tracks ChatGPT only; other engines start on Pro. Prompt limits are not published, and Pro's "7+ answer engines" are not all named. One thing it shares with every tool here, including ours: none of them can tell you how much traffic Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode sent you. Search Console counts those clicks as ordinary organic search and no API separates them. Referrals from ChatGPT and other assistants are different: they show up in analytics as their own sources.
