The Eight Questions

Each one is something you can test in a trial of either tool. A cell that says “not stated” means we found no page that says it, not that the tool cannot do it.

1. Lowest Listed Price

   What the cheapest thing on the price page costs, and what it buys.

   HubSpot AEO

   “$50/month … $45/month if you pay annually. … Includes 25 prompts — buy more anytime.”hubspot.com, read 2026-10-14Our reading: Sold on its own. The same page says 25 prompts can be tracked on ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini free with no card, and HubSpot's help center lists a 28-day trial.

   AEOSearch

   A free scorecard: 4 questions on ChatGPT and Gemini. A report of your own from $25, priced before you pay.

2. Assistants Measured

   Which AI assistants the numbers come from.

   HubSpot AEO

   “Multi-engine coverage (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity)”hubspot.com, read 2026-10-14

   AEOSearch

   ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode. You choose which ones a report asks.

3. Times Each Question Is Asked

   An assistant answers the same question differently from one run to the next, so a number built on one answer per question can move on a reroll.

   HubSpot AEO

   “AEO runs tracked prompts daily.”knowledge.hubspot.com, read 2026-10-14Our reading: Daily. The help center's limits table gives 2,500 answers a month for 25 prompts on three assistants, room for one answer per prompt and assistant a day.

   AEOSearch

   Once or 3 times per question, chosen before you pay and printed on the report.

4. Model Named on the Answer

   ChatGPT is several models, and they disagree. A number that does not say which one answered cannot be checked against the app.

   HubSpot AEO

   Not stated on any HubSpot AEO page we read (2026-10-14).

   AEOSearch

   Stored with every answer, and printed on the report for each engine whose provider reports it.

5. Web Search Labelled

   An answer written without a web search reports what a model remembers, not what the live assistant says today.

   HubSpot AEO

   Not stated on any HubSpot AEO page we read (2026-10-14).Our reading: Not stated for the paid product. A customer quoted on the product page, a data scientist at Docebo, wanted "grounded data with real web search behind it". That is the customer's reason for buying; the pages do not say how answers are collected. HubSpot's free AEO Grader, a separate one-time check, says its ChatGPT and Gemini reads come from training data and its Perplexity read from live search.

   AEOSearch

   Stored with every answer. The report says, engine by engine, whether web search was on, and for Claude and Perplexity, how many answers searched.

6. Answers You Can Read

   Whether the full answer behind a number opens when you ask for it.

   HubSpot AEO

   “Prompt tracking shows you how visible your business is at the individual prompt level and the exact response ChatGPT, Gemini, and/or Perplexity returned.”hubspot.com, read 2026-10-14

   AEOSearch

   Every answer is stored in full, and the report opens the text behind its numbers.

7. Branded Questions Counted Apart

   A question that already names you is one you will almost always win. Mixed into the headline, it inflates it.

   HubSpot AEO

   “Evaluation: branded comparisons that explicitly name your company or competitors.”knowledge.hubspot.com, read 2026-10-14Our reading: Prompts are sorted into four phases, Awareness, Consideration, Evaluation and Decision. Branded comparisons sit in Evaluation, and a Decision prompt can name a specific company too. No page we read sets branded prompts apart in the score, and the headline visibility score counts every tracked prompt.

   AEOSearch

   Yes. Questions that name you or a competitor you track are scored apart from the ones that name none of them.

8. Changes to Your Site

   Whether it edits your site, and whether each edit can be undone.

   HubSpot AEO

   “After reviewing social amplification recommendations, generate a LinkedIn article and optional social post based on the recommendation. Review and edit the generated content, then copy it to Linkedin to publish.”knowledge.hubspot.com, read 2026-10-14Our reading: Drafts LinkedIn articles for a person to edit and publish, and blog posts too on Marketing Hub Professional and Enterprise; the help center's feature table does not list blog drafts for the $50 product. No page we read says it changes a live page by itself.

   AEOSearch

   Only through our plugins, only after you opt in on that site, and every change carries a rollback. The platform itself never edits your site.

Check Us the Same Way

Run the free scorecard: it shows the stored answer for up to three questions you lost, and a paid report opens every answer behind every number, with the model where the provider names one, the search label and the full text. The standard lists the five standards a paid report's mention rate carries, and the other comparisons ask the same questions of every tool on the list. Something here wrong about HubSpot AEO?
