Recometric Review: AI Visibility Checks and Odd Tier Pricing

Say you run a plumbing company, a dental practice or a small design studio. A customer asks ChatGPT for a recommendation in your town, and your competitor gets named. You don’t. Nothing in your Google rankings tells you this happened, and that gap is what Recometric is built to measure.

The pitch, according to the listing, is that it asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude the kind of questions your customers would ask, then records what comes back. It checks whether you’re named, where you sit in a ranked answer, and whether the tone is positive. Live web search is switched on for all four assistants, so the answers reflect what those tools can pull from the web right now.

What Recometric actually measures

The headline output is a 0 to 100 score. It’s built from three sources: the AI answers, evidence from your website, and your Google Business Profile data.

One design choice stands out. The questions never contain your business name. That sounds minor, but it’s the whole point. Ask an assistant “what do you think of Acme Plumbing?” and it will say something. Ask “who’s a good plumber near me?” and see Acme show up, and that’s a mention you earned.

The Google component is capped at 30% of the score. The listing says this is so a good Google listing can’t stand in for real AI visibility. It’s a sensible guardrail, though the other 70% is still weighted by Recometric’s own formula, which the listing doesn’t spell out.

The audit and the fix list

Beyond the AI answers, there’s a website audit. The listing names schema markup, meta description and mobile viewport checks, plus NAP consistency (name, address, phone) and a review of your Google Business Profile evidence.

The results come back as a prioritized list of fixes in plain English, ordered by what the measurement found. The listing says you don’t need an agency to act on it. That’s marketing language, and I’d treat it that way. Some fixes, like adding schema markup, will still need whoever manages your site. Whether the advice is specific or generic isn’t something the listing shows, and there’s no demo video to check.

A scan takes a few minutes, according to the listing. It compiles the questions, asks every assistant, reads the answers, audits the site, resolves the Google listing and publishes the results.

How it handles a flaky assistant

AI answers vary, and sometimes one assistant simply doesn’t respond. Recometric says a missing answer carries no weight rather than counting as a zero. If fewer than all four answer, you get a likely range instead of one confident number.

That’s honest handling of a noisy measurement. A scoring tool that quietly punished you for a timeout would be useless.

The other transparency claim is bigger. Every input to your score is stored on your scan, so the number can be rebuilt from those rows with no AI call and no access to Recometric’s code. In a young category where scores are easy to fudge, that’s a real point in its favor. It doesn’t prove the score predicts anything about your revenue, but you can at least check the arithmetic.

The three tiers and what they cost

This is where the listing gets strange. Here’s the plan table:

• Tier 1, $49 (list $490): daily full scan with 12 live checks, 10 extra scan credits. No competitor mentions, no scan archive, no alerts feed, no priority support.
• Tier 2, $399 (list $990): daily scans, competitor mentions, scan archive, alerts feed, priority support, and extra credits you can buy any time.
• Tier 3, $999 (list $1,490): the same features as tier 2, but the full scan is weekly, not daily.

Read that last one twice. The most expensive tier scans less often than the other two. The listing doesn’t explain it, and I can’t think of a reason a buyer would pay $600 more for fewer scans. It might be a typo in the listing, or tier 3 might carry limits the page doesn’t mention. Ask before you spend that kind of money.

All three tiers include lifetime access and future plan updates, and you can switch between tiers. You must activate your license within 60 days of purchase.

The listing also doesn’t say how many businesses or locations one license covers, what “daily” means in terms of credits, or what extra credits cost once you’ve used yours. Those are the numbers that decide whether the deal is generous.

Who should buy the $49 tier

The cheap tier is an easy yes for a single-location business that wants a baseline. You get a daily scan, the score, the audit and the fix list for less than most SEO tools charge for a month.

What you give up matters, though. Competitor tracking is a key feature. The listing says it follows up to 5 competitors across the same questions, which makes comparisons like for like. Without it, a score of 42 has no context. Is that bad for your market, or normal? The $49 tier can’t tell you. There’s also no archive, so trend tracking looks limited, and no alerts feed.

My advice: use the free scan first. It needs no credit card. If the report tells you something you didn’t already know, tier 1 is a low-risk buy. If you decide you need competitor tracking, the jump to $399 is steep for a product this young.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you want a full SEO suite. The listing positions Recometric as an alternative to Ahrefs and SEMrush, but its own FAQ says SEO tools track Google rankings and this does something different. Believe the FAQ. This sits beside your SEO tool, not in place of it.

Skip it too if you need proof that a higher score brings in customers. The listing offers none, and AI answers shift from one day to the next. A tool that measures a moving target is useful for spotting direction, less so for promising results.

And skip the top tier until someone explains the weekly scan limit. The $49 entry point is what makes this deal interesting. The rest of the ladder, as written, isn’t.
