Full review
AthenaHQ is a generative-engine-optimization platform that monitors how a brand appears across an unusually broad set of AI engines, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Overviews, Claude, Copilot and Grok, tracks prompts, and benchmarks you against competitors. Its Action Center is the differentiator: it doesn't just report gaps, it routes you to concrete fixes.
The founders come from Google Search and DeepMind, and the platform lists 90+ Fortune 500 customers, which is real credibility in a young category. Pricing is credit-based (one credit per AI response) from a $295-a-month Self-Serve plan, with a $95 first month to trial, enterprise-grade for a large brand but a meaningful commitment for a cost-sensitive Indian SMB to weigh against Profound, Scrunch and the rest.
