Be the tool AI shortlists
Software buying now starts with a question, not a search. When a buyer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity for the best tool in your category, an answer comes back naming three or four products. Rivarise tells you whether you are one of them, who is taking your place, and what to change.
Free plan, no card required. No tracking code, no crawler, no DNS change.
What is AI visibility tracking for SaaS? It is the practice of measuring whether generative AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews name your product when buyers ask them category questions, and of tracking that measurement over time the way you already track keyword rankings. Rivarise runs your buyers' real questions against nine engines on a daily schedule, records which products each engine cites, in what order and in what tone, and turns the result into a single score you can report and act on.
The shortlist is decided before anyone visits your site
The old funnel started with a search result and a click you could see in analytics. The new one often starts with an answer, and the products that do not appear in that answer are never evaluated. There is no bounce, no session and no lost-deal report. The demo request simply never happens.
You find out from a lost deal
- A prospect mentions in passing that "ChatGPT recommended two other tools," and it is the first you have heard of it.
- You have no idea which questions produce that answer, or how often.
- A competitor's comparison page gets cited as the neutral source on you.
- Your analytics are clean, because the traffic never arrived to be measured.
You see it the day it changes
- Every prompt that matters runs daily across the engines on your plan.
- You know your citation rate, your answer position and how you are described.
- Competitor tracking names the rivals winning your prompts, engine by engine.
- Drift alerts tell you when an engine changes its mind about you.
Where you actually stand in the answer
Being mentioned is not the same as being recommended. Rivarise separates the two, so you can tell the difference between appearing in a list of eight and being the first name an engine reaches for.
Illustrative example of the competitor view, not customer data. Your own numbers come from your prompts and your engines. Competitor tracking is available on Growth and above.
From first prompt to first fix in a single afternoon
There is nothing to install. Rivarise does not crawl your site or sit in your DNS. It asks the engines the questions your buyers ask and reads what comes back.
Add your domain and your competitors
Name the product you want tracked and the rivals you actually lose to. This takes about a minute and it is the only setup step that requires a decision.
Load the prompts that decide deals
Write your own, or take generated suggestions covering the five intents that matter in software buying: problem aware, solution aware, direct comparison, brand and competitor. Each suggestion arrives with the reasoning behind it, so you are choosing, not guessing.
Checks run daily across every engine on your plan
Each prompt is asked of each engine, every day, and the full answer text is stored. You can always read exactly what an engine said rather than trusting a number that summarizes it.
Work the fix list, then watch the metric move
Fix suggestions point at the specific gap behind a missing citation, such as a comparison page that does not exist or a claim no source corroborates. Each one is tied to the metric it should move, so you find out whether the work paid off.
One number your leadership team can actually follow
The Prompt Performance Score compresses four measurements into a single 0 to 100 figure. It is deliberately weighted toward being cited at all, because presence is the precondition for everything else.
The full PPS is available on every paid plan. The Free plan shows a lite version based on citation rate alone.
The five prompt types that decide a software purchase
Most teams start by tracking their own brand name, which is the least useful thing to measure. An engine will almost always mention you when asked about you. The revenue sits in the questions where you are not named yet.
| Intent | What the buyer asks | Why it matters to a SaaS team |
|---|---|---|
| Problem aware | "How do I stop my team missing deadlines?" | Earliest possible entry point. The engine picks a category, and whoever it names defines the shortlist. |
| Solution aware | "Best project management software for agencies" | Highest commercial intent. This is the prompt that produces a shortlist of three or four names. |
| Direct comparison | "Your product vs Competitor A" | Reveals whose framing the engine repeats. Usually whoever published the comparison page. |
| Brand | "Is your product any good?" | Surfaces sentiment and stale claims, including pricing and features you changed a year ago. |
| Competitor | "Alternatives to Competitor A" | The cheapest displacement opportunity you have, because the buyer is already unhappy. |
Rivarise generates prompt suggestions across all five categories on Starter and above, and every result stores the answer text so you can see the exact wording an engine used about you.
75 prompts per day across 6 engines, with competitor tracking, fix and prompt suggestions, and drift alerts to Slack. Start on Free to see your baseline, then upgrade once the picture is worth acting on.
