Renomly vs Waikay
Waikay is the closest tool in spirit to Renomly: it asks what AI knows about your brand and checks the facts. The differences are in the evidence, the search-on versus search-off split, and the website audit.

Renomly and Waikay, side by side
Comparison as of 8 September 2026 based on information on waikay.io.
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.
Waikay
✅ Built for individuals, small brands, agencies and multi-brand enterprises, from a free tier.
✅ ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, every answer labelled by how it answered. Two engines on Starter, all five from Growth.
❌ ChatGPT, Google, Claude and Sonar; Google AI Overviews is not listed on their site.
✅ Every answer kept in full, so every mention, rival and wrong fact comes with the sentence it was found in. Only earned mentions count.
❌ A Knowledge Score summarises how well models know you; 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.
✅ A Fact Tracker flags claims models make about your brand.
✅ 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.
✅ GEO Action Plans built from the gaps; a website audit is not a stated feature, and there is no backlink data.
✅ 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.
✅ Free tier, then $24.95 a month for early adopters and $69.95 for Small Teams; self-serve, prompt counts not published.
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.
