Competitor gaps · ChatGPT
helloAISearch shows exactly which competitors ChatGPT recommends instead of your brand: it sends your buyers' questions to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity on a schedule, highlights every brand named in each answer, marks the answers where a competitor was named and you were not, and turns the biggest of those gaps into one page to write after every scan, from $29 a month with a free 3-day trial. When the engines answer this question themselves they name Profound, Peec AI, Otterly AI, and Semrush most often; we have not verified those tools' features from their sites.

"Who did ChatGPT recommend instead of me" is a narrower question than general AI visibility. A tool that answers it has to do these things.
A yes or no on your own brand cannot tell you who won. The tool has to extract every tracked brand from each answer, with its position.
The useful view is the list of answers where a competitor was named and you were not, sorted by how often it happens. That list is your roadmap.
"Competitor X was recommended for teams that need Y" tells you what to write. Where the engine cites sources, the domains it used are the pages to be on.
Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity often recommend different competitors for the same question. Tracking only ChatGPT shows you a quarter of the picture.
helloAISearch's Today's Move names the prompt you lost, the competitor that won it, and the page that would answer it.
Your prompts go to the engines on a schedule.
A competitor was named. You were not.
One specific page to write today.
Share of voice moves. Or it doesn't.
We run helloAISearch on ourselves. Between July 17, 2026 and August 31, 2026 it recorded 350 answers from ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini across 7 category prompts; this prompt joined the tracked set on October 21, 2026, and helloAISearch has not yet been named in its answers. The “named” column is how many of those answers named each tool. Competitor descriptions are how the engines characterised them; we have not added claims of our own.

Write a comparison page for “alternatives to Competitor A”
This prompt came up 4× this week and Competitor A took every mention. A direct comparison page closes a 9-point Share of Voice gap. About an hour.
Yes, one question at a time: ask ChatGPT your category question and note who it names. It does not tell you how often that happens across runs, or what Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity say. helloAISearch's free 3-day trial runs 10 prompts on ChatGPT and Gemini twice, with no credit card, and lists every competitor named.
Usually because the competitor has a page that answers the exact question, is described the same way on many other sites, or is listed in the roundups the engine reads. The sentence where it was named tells you which of those it is.
The ones you choose. Onboarding suggests competitors from your homepage and you edit the list. Lite tracks 5, Studio 10, and Pro and Agency unlimited.
Yes. Every plan tracks ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini; Studio ($59 a month) and up add Perplexity, which also shows the sources it cited when a competitor won.
