Every mention, rival and wrong fact in a Renomly report comes with the sentence it was found in. Ahrefs Brand Radar reports visibility as numbers; you take the number on trust.
Renomly vs Ahrefs Brand Radar
Brand Radar measures your brand across AI answers, YouTube and Reddit using Ahrefs's prompt index. Renomly uses Ahrefs for backlink authority and does the rest itself: evidence, fact check, audit and fix list.

Renomly and Ahrefs Brand Radar, side by side
Comparison as of 8 September 2026 based on information on ahrefs.com.
Renomly
✅ Built for a business that wants to know whether AI recommends it, what it gets wrong, and what to fix first. Agencies run it for their clients.
Ahrefs Brand Radar
❌ Built for established brands and SEO teams on Ahrefs exploring a market-wide index.
✅ ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, every answer labelled by how it answered. Two engines on Starter, all five from Growth.
✅ Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Claude, plus YouTube and Reddit.
✅ Every answer kept in full, so every mention, rival and wrong fact comes with the sentence it was found in. Only earned mentions count.
❌ Mentions, citations and share of voice as counts; the sentence behind each mention is not a stated feature.
✅ Every claim AI makes about you is checked against your own website, with both quotes shown and wrong facts traced to their source.
❌ No fact check of AI claims against your website.
✅ A ranked fix list that starts with your own website, an AI-readiness audit, a known-versus-findable split (search on and off) and backlink authority via Ahrefs, on Growth and above.
❌ An action plan is not a stated feature; the backlink index is Ahrefs's own.
✅ A free first scan run by a person, then $29 a month for 2 tracked prompts, up to 100 on Agency. Every plan is published; you apply rather than sign up.
❌ Custom Prompts from $50 a month, the index at $199 with 83 prompts a day, or included with an Ahrefs Lite plan and above; self-serve.
Where Renomly is different
-
-
Renomly scores only the answers where the engine volunteered you. A mention on a prompt that already contains your name does not count, so the score cannot be flattered by the questions you choose.
-
Running discovery questions with web search on and off tells you whether the model has absorbed you or is merely looking you up, and the two need different fixes.
-
The output is a ranked plan that starts with your own website, not a dashboard for a team of analysts. Rescan a topic and watch the score move.
Renomly starts at $29 a month. Ahrefs Brand Radar starts at $50/mo.
Brand Radar's Custom Prompts start at $50 a month, the AI Visibility Index is $199 a month, and both come free with Ahrefs Lite and higher plans. Renomly is $29 a month after a free first scan and pulls backlink authority from Ahrefs on Growth and above.
Questions people ask
-
Yes, for backlink authority on Growth and above. The AI visibility measurement, the fact check and the website audit are Renomly's own.
-
A fact check against your own website is not a stated Brand Radar feature. Renomly extracts every claim an engine makes about you and checks it against your own pages.
-
It is included with Lite and above, so yes for market-level visibility. Renomly answers a narrower question for one business and ends with a fix list.
