Where HubSpot AI Search Grader is better
- Free with no account at all. We ask for an email before showing the full list of competitors named ahead of you.
- Three engines to our two — Perplexity as well as ChatGPT and Gemini.
- HubSpot's name behind the numbers, and if you already run HubSpot their paid AEO tier lives in the account you use every day.
- Their paid tier is $50 a month, essentially our price, with week-over-week tracking across the same three engines.
Where Recomark is better
- The Grader is a one-time snapshot, and one number cannot tell you whether anything changed. We re-run the same questions after the fix and report the move with its margin of error.
- The questions come from your niche — we read your site first — rather than from a fixed scoring rubric applied to every brand.
- Each paid report ships answers and schema ready to publish, so the work does not stop at a diagnosis.
Which one to pick
The Grader is the best free first look in this category, and we say so plainly: run it. If you live inside HubSpot, their $50 tier will feel natural. Come to us when you want the questions to come from your own niche instead of a fixed rubric, and want the fix handed over rather than a score to interpret.
