Is the ChatGPT rank checker really free?
Yes. You can check how your brand ranks in ChatGPT for free, with no signup and no credit card. You only pay if you want ongoing tracking and the full optimization plan.
Can I check my ChatGPT ranking online without installing anything?
Yes — Spotlit runs entirely online in your browser. Enter your brand or domain and get results in about 30 seconds.
Does "ranking" in ChatGPT even exist?
Not like Google's blue links. AI engines don't have fixed ranks — they generate answers that may or may not mention you. Spotlit measures how often and how favorably ChatGPT mentions you for real buyer questions, plus your position when it lists options. That's the closest honest equivalent to a "rank" — and we'd rather tell you that than sell you a fake number.
Which AI engines does Spotlit check?
ChatGPT only — on purpose. ChatGPT has the largest share of AI-search traffic, so we focus there and do it well instead of spreading thin across five engines. Perplexity support is on the roadmap. If you need Gemini and Perplexity coverage today, a broader (and pricier) multi-engine platform is the right call alongside Spotlit.
What's the difference between checking and tracking?
A check is a one-time snapshot of how ChatGPT answers today. Tracking re-runs it automatically over time — weekly on Starter, every three days on Pro, daily on Agency — so you catch changes and measure whether your fixes actually worked.
How is this different from Profound, Peec, or Otterly?
Those are strong monitoring dashboards built mostly for larger teams, and several are multi-engine. Spotlit is free to start, ChatGPT-focused, and — most importantly — tells you the specific changes to make from your own report data, not just a score.
