The Aiso alternative that tracks citations, not just crawls
Aiso is a clean, free crawler logger, it shows which AI bots fetch your site. CiteTrack AI does that too, then answers the bigger question: does AI actually cite you, who does it cite instead, and what is it worth?
CiteTrack does the crawl AND the citation
Where Aiso is genuinely strong
Free crawler logging
Aiso’s core crawler dashboard is free, with an optional account for cross-site storage.
“Chat impressions”
A nice metric for live AI fetches: CiteTrack tracks the same as “AI answer impressions.”
Simple to run
Lightweight, server-log based, easy to install for basic bot visibility.
If all you need is a free read of which AI bots crawl you, Aiso is a tidy choice.
Where CiteTrack AI goes further
Answer-side citation tracking
See whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude cite you: Aiso is crawler-only.

FAQ
Is CiteTrack AI an Aiso alternative?
Yes. CiteTrack matches Aiso’s crawler analytics (current verified bots, an answer-impression metric, data kept on your site) and adds the answer side Aiso doesn’t cover: citation tracking, share of voice, the narrative-control map, AEO fixes, attribution and alerts.
Does Aiso track AI citations?
No: Aiso logs which AI crawlers hit your server. It doesn’t query the engines to see whether you’re cited in answers. CiteTrack does both.
Is Aiso free and CiteTrack paid?
Aiso has a free tier; CiteTrack is a flat annual license. The trade-off is scope: CiteTrack is a full visibility suite, not just a crawler log, and citation runs use your own API keys at cents per run.
Do both keep data on my site?
Yes. Both store crawler data locally; CiteTrack also keeps tokens and citation results on your site.
Crawls are half the story
