The short version

Loamly and SearchScore are not the same shape of product. Loamly covers AI visibility and AI-referral analytics. No SEO or conversion scoring. SearchScore is two things. The free audit scores three disciplines from your site's own signals: AI search readiness, classic SEO, and whether the visitors who arrive convert. The paid Tracker is the part that queries assistants, putting your category's buying questions to 6 engines and recording who gets cited. If AI visibility on its own is what you need, Loamly is a real answer and this page will not pretend otherwise.

Where Loamly is ahead

The things Loamly does better than we do.

A comparison page that cannot name these is an advert. Free checker as the front door, paid platform behind it.

Genuine strengths

  • The free check genuinely needs no signup and returns a shareable report URL in two to three minutes. That is a lower-friction front door than ours, and it is why editors link to it.
  • 50 industry-specific prompts generated from the site itself, rather than a fixed list.
  • Published methodology and a public sample report, which is more transparency than most of this category offers.
  • An open npm tracker package and a public GitHub presence, so the measurement side is inspectable.
  • Event-based pricing starts at €29/mo, below our Starter tier in some configurations.
SearchScore leads here

Where we are the stronger pick

  • Six engines rather than four: Loamly's check covers ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini; we add Grok and DeepSeek.
  • SEO and conversion are scored alongside AI visibility, so the diagnosis covers the whole path rather than one leg of it.
  • Event-based billing is hard to forecast. Our tiers are a flat monthly price with a stated question and engine allowance.
  • A published measurement grade and a 1,000,000+ site corpus to benchmark a score against.

Engines

Which assistants each one actually reads.

The SearchScore Tracker samples 6 engines on every paid plan: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Perplexity. The free audit is a different thing and queries none of them: it reads your own site and scores how ready it is to be cited, which is why it can be free. Google's AI Overviews is a surface inside Google rather than an engine of its own, so we do not count it as a seventh, and a tool that does is not being dishonest, just counting differently. Read the count before you compare two numbers. Loamly's coverage is set out in the strengths above and in the sources below.

Choosing

Pick Loamly when, pick us when.

Choose Loamly

Better fit for you if

  • You want a fast, free, no-signup read on how four assistants describe your brand, and you are happy to be billed by event volume afterwards.
Choose SearchScore

Better fit for you if

  • You need to know which of AI search, SEO or conversion is the constraint, and you want a flat, predictable monthly price for the tracking.

Both can be true at once. Plenty of teams run a dedicated AI visibility tool alongside a broader diagnosis, and the free SearchScore audit costs nothing to run next to whatever you already pay for.

How we measure

The part most comparisons leave out.

Grounded answers vary between samples, so a single reading is not a measurement and any tool quoting one is quoting noise. We publish how often we sample, how many questions per engine, and how much the answers move between samples. Across 1,000,000+ audited sites, 216 score AI-Ready (0.022%, 1 in 4,600), and the highest score recorded anywhere in that corpus is 86.6.
