Where each is ahead

What Otterly.AI does better, and what we do.

Where Otterly.AI is ahead6

  • The lowest entry price on this page, and a seven-day trial with no card.
  • Sixty-five countries and languages, with share of voice broken out per market.
  • A public API, an MCP server, a Looker Studio connector in Google's gallery, and a marketplace of a hundred community workflows.
  • Agent Analytics ingests Cloudflare, CloudFront and raw server logs to separate crawler fetches from AI-referred human visits.
  • A GEO audit that tests nineteen AI crawlers against robots.txt and the live server, one URL at a time.
  • Tracking of ChatGPT ads and shopping cards.

Where Detectabli is ahead8

  • Seven engines on one plan, with Claude included rather than sold on top.
  • Run it when you want. Otterly runs once a day with no on-demand re-run and no history before the day you add a prompt.
  • Brand accuracy. Otterly scores sentiment per mention; nothing in it checks whether what AI said is true.
  • A site-wide scan with a per-page plan and schema written for you. Otterly's audit is one URL at a time and doesn't generate markup.
  • GA4 and Search Console connected. Otterly has no GA4 connector, and Search Console comes in by CSV upload.
  • White-label reporting. Otterly says plainly it doesn't offer white-label; the recommended workaround is Looker Studio.
  • Profile audit, Quora questions, and third-party pages graded for accuracy.
  • A managed service. Otterly points you to partner agencies.
Pick Otterly.AI if
You want a cheap daily monitor across many countries with an API, and the four base engines are enough.
Pick Detectabli if
You want Claude without an add-on, runs on demand, accuracy grading, and the fixes.
