Kollavo is the clearest choice for marketing teams that want someone else to handle the unglamorous work of AI citation building: finding the right directories, doing the outreach, and writing the placement copy. The self-serve Entry tier at $49/month gives you a real visibility score and gap data, but the actual placement work only starts at $99/month, and the Autopilot tiers that handle volume placements run $549 to $1,399/month, making this expensive fast. Teams that need only auditing and reporting, without managed services, will find Corank or VisRank a better fit for the money.
What is Kollavo?
Kollavo gets your company cited in AI answers. It tracks the sources large language models rely on for your high-intent prompts, shows where competitors appear but you don't, and handles the outreach, negotiation, and copy to secure citations on trusted publishers. You approve the plan and watch placements go live, starting with ChatGPT and expanding to Perplexity, Google AI, Claude, and Gemini. Freemium, from $49/month.
How we scored Kollavo
Capability scores 17 because the core GEO workflow (gap analysis, managed submissions, Autopilot placements) is genuinely differentiated, but confirmed multi-engine coverage is limited to ChatGPT with others still expanding, which is a real gap versus what the category promises. Ease of use scores 18 because the tiered structure is clearly explained, the listing kit is built for you at onboarding, and the dashboard and PDF reports reduce the need for technical knowledge, though the tool is too new to have documented onboarding quality from independent sources. Value scores 14 because there is no free tier despite the freemium claim, the $49/month Entry plan delivers monitoring only, and meaningful execution starts at $99/month with Autopilot volume tiers reaching $1,399/month where unused placements do not roll over, making this expensive relative to audit-focused alternatives like VisRank. Delivery scores 17 because the pricing page is transparent about placement guarantees (explicitly stating no AI mention is guaranteed), but the tool is very new with no independent user reviews found, and the freemium mislabeling in the submitted materials is a minor trust signal worth noting.
Pros and cons
What we liked
- Managed + Directory Launch at $99/month includes a built listing kit, 10 to 15 monthly directory submissions, and a live status tracker, which is a concrete deliverable most audit-only tools do not offer.
- Pricing transparency is unusually honest for the category: paid placements require explicit approval before anything is booked, and the site states clearly that placements do not guarantee AI mentions.
- Autopilot tiers let teams set a monthly placement volume (4, 8, or 12 placements) and a per-source cap ($175 or $200 depending on tier) without approving each site individually, which reduces operational overhead for teams running ongoing GEO programs.
Where it falls short
- No free tier exists despite the submitted pricing model claiming freemium; the lowest entry point is $49/month, and the managed service that actually moves the needle starts at $99/month, with Autopilot volume tiers reaching $1,399/month.
- LLM coverage is uneven: ChatGPT tracking is confirmed, but Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini integrations are described as in development or expanding, meaning buyers paying for multi-engine visibility monitoring may not get full coverage today.
- Unused Autopilot placements do not roll over, so a team that pauses activity or misses a month loses that placement budget with no credit or carry-forward.

Who should use Kollavo?
A SaaS marketing team of two to five people that has noticed competitors showing up in ChatGPT answers and has no internal process for fixing it is the clearest fit. Kollavo removes the coordination overhead: the listing kit gets built once, submissions happen monthly, and the team gets a report rather than a to-do list. Agencies managing AI visibility for multiple clients could also use the Managed tier per client, though the per-brand pricing stacks up quickly at scale.
If you only need an audit to understand where you stand, Kollavo's Entry tier at $49/month covers that, but VisRank delivers a comparable audit in about 30 seconds at a lower price point and without a subscription commitment. If you want a fully managed AI search optimization service with a deeper strategic layer, Corank is the stronger alternative and is already in this directory.
Skip it if: Budget-conscious solo operators or teams that only need an audit; no free tier exists and managed placement costs add up quickly.
Kollavo alternatives
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free plan?+
No. Kollavo offers a set of free standalone tools (Citation Gap Audit, LLM Visibility Score, Competitor Citation Map, and others) but no free subscription tier. The lowest paid plan is Entry at $49/month.
What does the $99/month Managed plan actually do each month?+
Kollavo submits your brand to 10 to 15 directories and AI-cited sources every month, prioritized by which sources ChatGPT and Perplexity cite first. You get a live tracker of every submission and a monthly report showing which listings went live and which AI engines cite them.
Do placements guarantee that AI will mention my brand?+
No. Kollavo states explicitly that placements do not guarantee rankings or AI mentions. Getting listed on a source an LLM cites increases the probability of citation but does not ensure it.
What happens to unused Autopilot placements?+
Unused placements do not roll over to the next month. The Autopilot plans can be paused or cancelled at any time, and sources above your per-source cap are always offered for your approval before anything is booked.
Which AI engines does Kollavo track?+
The Entry and Managed plans include weekly scoring for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Mode. Coverage for Claude and additional engines is described as expanding; buyers should confirm current multi-engine status directly with Kollavo before purchasing.
Can I save money by paying annually?+
Yes. Annual billing is available and saves the equivalent of two months compared to monthly pricing, on both the Entry ($49/month) and Managed + Directory Launch ($99/month) plans.
