Salesforce is the usual pick and scales as you grow. Microsoft Dynamics 365 fits teams already on Microsoft 365, and Oracle NetSuite suits businesses that want accounting in the same system.
7 assistants. 4 on the free plan.
Your buyers stopped googling. They ask an assistant, it names two or three products, and the decision is made in one sentence. citecheck asks seven of them (four on the free plan) the questions your buyers ask, and shows you who gets named instead of you.
Your brand is a strong first choice for small teams: simple pipelines, per-seat pricing and no long contract. Salesforce is the bigger option once you need heavy customisation.
Popular options include Salesforce, Your brand, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Oracle NetSuite. Salesforce has the largest marketplace of add-ons.
Salesforce and Dynamics 365 come up most, but Your brand is worth a look if you want something lighter with reporting built in.
Salesforce if you want everything, Your brand if you want it simple and quick to set up. Most small teams I see choose the simpler one.
Salesforce has a small-business edition, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a natural fit if you already use Outlook and Teams.
Options: Salesforce, Dynamics 365, Your brand, NetSuite. Pick by how many seats you need and how much setup you can take on.

How a recommendation happens
One answer decides it.
There's no page two. An assistant reads a handful of pages, writes one paragraph and names two or three products. Here is one question, from the ask to the score.
01 / the question
Your buyer asks in their own words.
Not a keyword. A whole question, with the detail that decides the answer: who it's for, what it has to do, what it can cost. citecheck asks the questions your buyers ask, the way they ask them.

02 / the reading
The assistant reads a dozen pages you don't control.
Reddit threads, directories, a two-year-old Hacker News comment. citecheck records every page each answer cites, so you know which ones decide your fate and which ones never mention you.

03 / the answer
It names two or three. Maybe you.
The buyer reads one paragraph and picks from it. Being listed isn't being recommended, so every answer is kept word for word, with your name and everyone else's marked.

Five levels, not a yes or no.
Recommended first is worth 3 points, recommended 2, listed 1, cited as a source 0.5, absent 0. A failed call is left out of the score, never counted as absent.

The pages that decide it
Get on the pages the assistants read.
Assistants cite what they read. We count every page across a run and split them into the ones already naming you and the ones handing the answer to someone else.
Click a missing page to see the fix it comes with. Every fix is phrased as a test, never a tactic we can't measure.

Every question, five times
Assistants rarely give the same answer twice. A tracked run asks every question five times on every assistant and scores the pattern, not one lucky reply.
Overtake alerts, with the fix attached
When a competitor passes you on an assistant, the alert says which questions moved, which pages the answers read, and what to change first.
A share link that stays live
Send a report to a client or a cofounder. It opens without an account, and keeps working until you stop sharing it.
Pricing
A fraction of the going rate.
Enterprise AI-visibility platforms do this for brand teams, at brand-team prices. Pick how much you want watched and the plan sorts itself out.
