Reporting
Which exports and integrations are available for the selected plan?
Cost
What is included in the subscription, and what additional usage or provider charges apply?
Test the investigation as well as the dashboard
Choose a prompt where your brand and a competitor appear differently. Ask to inspect the answer, citation details and the route from that observation to a specific task. Compare how much context survives when the finding is exported or shared.
