TrendlyAI vs LLM Pulse (2026)

Last updated: November 2026

LLM Pulse is the better pick if you need Gemini and Google AI Mode, many prompts per brand, or daily tracking. TrendlyAI is the better pick if you want Claude included, white-label PDF reports from $19/mo, US dollar pricing and a drafted fix for each gap. We build TrendlyAI, so weigh that.

• Claude is a paid add-on on every LLM Pulse plan. It is included on every TrendlyAI plan.

• As of October 2026, LLM Pulse costs €49, €99 or €299 per month on weekly tracking (about $58, $116 and $350). TrendlyAI costs $19, $49 or $149 per month.

• LLM Pulse gives far more prompts: 50, 150 or 450. TrendlyAI gives 25 per brand.

• White-label starts on LLM Pulse's Enterprise and Partner plans and on every TrendlyAI plan.

What is the difference between TrendlyAI and LLM Pulse?🔗

The core difference between TrendlyAI and LLM Pulse is breadth versus focus: LLM Pulse is a broad tracking and analytics platform with five engines and many prompts, while TrendlyAI is a smaller tool built around finding gaps and drafting the fix for each one.

LLM Pulse (llmpulse.ai) tracks visibility, share of voice, mentions and citations, and adds recommendations and a GEO Writer. Higher plans add sentiment, owned media tracking (YouTube, social, apps, Reddit), AI traffic analytics, ChatGPT Shopping and AI paid ads tracking, reputation, GEO testing, an API and a Looker Studio connector. It is a European company and prices in euros.

TrendlyAI (trendlyai.com) shows whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews name your brand or its competitors, finds the gaps where a competitor is recommended and you are not, and drafts a fix for each gap: a comparison page, an FAQ page with schema, a Reddit answer, an llms.txt file, a best-of list or a product page rewrite. Later scans detect when a fix wins a citation. It also runs pitch audits on prospect domains for agencies.

How do TrendlyAI and LLM Pulse compare on price?🔗

TrendlyAI is cheaper at the entry level, and LLM Pulse is cheaper per prompt.

LLM Pulse's plans on weekly tracking, as of October 2026 (prices exclude VAT):

• Starter: €49/mo (about $58), 50 prompts, 1 project, 10 competitors.

• Growth: €99/mo (about $116), 150 prompts, 2 projects, 15 competitors, plus sentiment and AI traffic analytics.

• Scale: €299/mo (about $350), 450 prompts, 5 projects, 20 competitors, plus API and custom reports.

Daily tracking costs €79, €149 or €449 per month for the same tiers. Yearly billing gives two months free. Extra prompts are €1 each per month and extra projects €50 per month.

TrendlyAI's plans:

• Solo: $19/mo ($16/mo yearly), 1 brand, 25 prompts, 2 competitors, 10 fix drafts a month, white-label PDF reports, 5 pitch audits a month.

• Pro: $49/mo ($39/mo yearly), 3 brands, 25 prompts each, 5 competitors per brand, unlimited fix drafts, 10 pitch audits a month, Reddit thread detail.

• Agency: $149/mo ($124/mo yearly), 10 client brands, 25 prompts each, 25 pitch audits a month, extra brands $15/mo up to 40, priority support.

Here is my own arithmetic from both price lists. One brand with Claude tracked: TrendlyAI Solo is $19. LLM Pulse Starter plus the Claude add-on is €74 a month, but you get 50 prompts instead of 25 and Gemini and AI Mode on top. Ten client brands: TrendlyAI Agency is $149. On LLM Pulse that is Scale (5 projects) plus five extra projects, or €549 a month before any engine add-ons. If you track one brand with lots of prompts, LLM Pulse is better value. If you track many small brands, TrendlyAI is.

Which AI engines does each tool track?🔗

LLM Pulse includes five engines on every plan: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews and Gemini. TrendlyAI tracks four: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews.

This is LLM Pulse's clearest advantage. TrendlyAI does not track Gemini, Google AI Mode, Grok, Copilot or Meta AI. If your buyers use Gemini or Google's AI Mode, LLM Pulse covers ground we do not. Our guide on ranking in Gemini and AI Mode explains why those surfaces can behave differently from AI Overviews.

The exception is Claude. LLM Pulse sells Claude as an add-on on every tier: €25/mo on Starter, €50 on Growth and €150 on Scale with weekly tracking, and €65/mo on Starter with daily tracking. Copilot (from €10/mo) and Grok (from €15/mo) are add-ons too. TrendlyAI includes Claude on every plan. If your buyers are developers, analysts or other heavy Claude users, read our guide on how to get recommended by Claude before deciding whether to pay for it.

Which is better for white-label agency reporting?🔗

TrendlyAI is cheaper for white-label reporting, and LLM Pulse goes much further at the top end.

On TrendlyAI, white-label PDF reports and share links come with every plan, including Solo at $19/mo. A freelancer with three clients can send branded reports from Pro at $49/mo. The Agency plan adds 25 pitch audits a month for prospect domains.

On LLM Pulse, every plan can export data as CSV, Excel or PDF, but white-label delivery is listed on Enterprise and on the Partner plans. Partner plans start at 25 client projects and 3,600 tracked prompts, and offer a branded subdomain, a full white label on your own domain, or dashboards embedded in your own product, plus per-client access and branded PDF reports. TrendlyAI has no client login portal, so an agency that wants clients to log in to a branded app should choose LLM Pulse's Partner tier.

How often does each tool scan?🔗

Both tools run weekly by default, and only LLM Pulse offers daily tracking.

TrendlyAI runs a full scan every week, with 1 sample per prompt per engine. It has no daily checks.

On its weekly plans, LLM Pulse runs each tracked prompt once a week on each model (its table lists Starter as "50/week/model"). Daily tracking is a separate plan option on every tier, at a higher price. Its own pricing FAQ argues that weekly is the cadence where trends show up without daily noise.

Weekly is enough for most teams, because AI answers shift over weeks rather than hours. Our guide to tracking ChatGPT performance over time explains why trends matter more than any single run. But one sample per prompt is a real limit on our side: AI answers vary between runs, and a single weekly sample can miss that.

What are TrendlyAI's weak points against LLM Pulse?🔗

TrendlyAI's weak points are real, and you should weigh them before you pick it over LLM Pulse.

• Fewer engines. Four against five included. No Gemini, Google AI Mode, Grok or Copilot, and no way to add them.

• Fewer prompts. 25 per brand against 50 on LLM Pulse Starter.

• Weekly only, 1 sample per prompt. No daily option at any price.

• No prompt-volume data. We do not tell you how often people ask a given prompt.

• Less analytics. No sentiment, AI traffic analytics, shopping or ads tracking, which LLM Pulse offers on higher plans.

• Young product, small team, few public reviews. TrendlyAI is built by one founder.

TrendlyAI tracks its own domain and publishes its own score, which is low. I would rather show you that than pretend otherwise. Read the methodology and look at a sample report before you decide.

Who should pick TrendlyAI and who should pick LLM Pulse?🔗

Pick the tool that matches the constraint you actually have.

Pick LLM Pulse if:

• You need Gemini or Google AI Mode tracked.

• You want 50 or more prompts for one brand.

• You want daily tracking, or sentiment and AI traffic analytics.

• You want a large team on one account at no extra cost.

• You run an agency big enough for a full white-label platform on your own domain.

Pick TrendlyAI if:

• You want Claude tracked without paying for an add-on.

• You need branded PDF reports for a few clients on a small budget.

• You want a fixed monthly bill in US dollars.

• You want a drafted fix (comparison page, FAQ with schema, Reddit answer, llms.txt) for each gap, not just a chart.

• You run pitch audits on prospect domains as part of sales.
