Citation Rate is an AI-visibility intelligence platform built by SDB srl (Italy) that measures whether and how often generative AI models cite a brand when answering industry-relevant questions. Its core product, the Citability Score, is a 0-100 metric scoring how likely a brand is to be cited by AI, generated by auditing up to several URLs per brand. The AI Visibility Index (AVI) tracks citation share across multiple AI platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity) over time, while the Citation Source Map identifies the authoritative sources AI systems draw on when recommending brands in a given category. A Competitor Mirror feature shows which competitors AI actually associates with the brand's category, and a Citability Gap Analysis benchmarks the brand against those AI-identified competitors. The platform is aimed at marketing, SEO, and brand teams who want visibility into how their company appears in AI-generated answers rather than traditional search rankings, and it is offered as a self-serve SaaS subscription with an optional Enterprise tier that adds a dedicated strategist and custom reporting.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Purpose-built metrics (Citability Score, AI Visibility Index) specifically for AI-answer visibility rather than repurposed SEO tools
Tracks citations across multiple major AI platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity) rather than a single model
Competitor Mirror and Gap Analysis give direct benchmarking against AI-identified competitors, not just self-reported rivals
Enterprise tier adds a dedicated strategist for teams that want hands-on guidance rather than a pure self-serve tool
Cons
Pricing is in EUR and billed annually, which may be less flexible for buyers wanting month-to-month or USD billing
Base and Pro plans cap the number of audits, URLs per audit, and AI platforms covered, so smaller plans may not reflect full brand coverage
As a young, narrowly-focused category (AI citation tracking), the vendor's independent track record and case studies are limited on the public site
No public API or third-party integrations are documented, which may limit fit into existing marketing/analytics stacks
