The short answer
Choose Ahrefs Brand Radar if you want to measure AI visibility across an index of 542 million+ prompts without writing them yourself, next to the Ahrefs SEO data your team already uses.
Choose Videntic if your market is too specific for a shared prompt index, so you want to track your own buying questions and take a missing citation all the way to an approved, published page.
Either way, an index shows where you stand across a market, and your own prompts show what your buyers see. The free check runs five of those questions for you. Run the free check

Three differences that change the choice
An index of prompts, or the questions you choose
Brand Radar’s Index measures you across 542 million+ prompts you never have to write, and Ahrefs says it works best once your brand already appears in AI search. Videntic samples the prompts you generate, write or import, so a narrow category is measured on its own questions.12
Where the work ends up
Brand Radar measures and points to Letaido, a separate product, for automated work. Videntic’s Sira drafts in Content Studio and, once you approve, publishes to WordPress or Shopify and confirms the live URL.146
Paying per check, or per prompt
Ahrefs sells custom prompts as packages of checks, and Claude uses 8 checks per update, so the engines you pick change what a package covers. Videntic’s plans are priced by prompt count and include Claude through the API.1237
What it costs, as published
Not normalised, not rounded. Plans count prompts, engines, credits and seats differently, so the cheapest line is rarely the cheapest setup. Prices as shown on 8 November 2026.

Ask both vendors before you sign
Take these to both demos.
Do I need a base Ahrefs plan?
The pages don’t say whether the Index can be bought on its own. Ask for the full monthly cost of the setup you want.
How many checks will I use?
Multiply prompts by engines by refreshes, and remember that Claude uses 8 checks per update. Compare that with the package sizes.
Is my category in the index?
Ahrefs suggests custom prompts when a niche is too specific for any database. Ask how many indexed prompts match your buying questions.
What happens after a finding?
Ask who drafts, approves and publishes the change, and whether that needs Letaido or another tool.
Questions about this comparison
What is the main difference between Ahrefs Brand Radar and Videntic?
Both track how AI answers mention and cite your brand. Brand Radar measures you across an index of 542 million+ prompts built from Ahrefs’ keyword data, or across prompts you define. Videntic tracks the questions you choose, reviews claims about your brand and takes approved drafts through to publishing on WordPress or Shopify.
Is Videntic an Ahrefs Brand Radar alternative?
Yes, if you want tracking plus drafting, approval and publishing in one tool. If you mainly want to research AI visibility across a large prompt index next to Ahrefs’ SEO data, Brand Radar is built for that.
Which is cheaper?
The plans count different things. Brand Radar’s Index starts at $199 a month and custom prompt packages at $50 a month for 2,500 checks. Videntic’s Basic plan is $250 a month for 50 prompts and includes drafting and publishing. Add a base Ahrefs plan if the Index turns out to need one.
