Cited vs Searchable: AI agent or AI intelligence?
Searchable uses an AI agent to surface recommendations and generate content. Cited uses Narrative Intelligence to understand how AI perceives your brand — then gives your team the playbook to reshape that perception.
By Salman Shaikh · Last verified August 28, 2026
Cited starts at $109/mo with structured Narrative Intelligence and Perception Gap analysis. Searchable starts at $125/mo with an AI agent approach that generates content and site audits. Choose Cited for structured diagnostic output; choose Searchable for AI-generated content at scale and white-label agency reports.
Where Cited differs from Searchable
Intelligence over automation
Searchable's AI agent gives action items but doesn't answer why AI says what it says. Cited's Narrative Intelligence reveals the perception gaps driving your visibility.
Site readiness tools included
GEO Score analyzes 15 signals for free, and Crawl Radar shows which AI crawlers your site actually admits. Searchable ships Technical Optimisation and an AI Shopping Agent Checker — both cover site-level readiness.
Built for Indian brands across verticals
D2C, SaaS, Fintech — 339+ brand benchmarks with INR pricing. Searchable focuses on the US market.
