Ahrefs Brand Radar is the AI visibility add-on of the Ahrefs suite, with a very large prompt database.

You do not have to cancel Ahrefs
Backlinks, keyword research and site audits stay in Ahrefs. The comparison is only about the Brand Radar module: measuring whether AI mentions you. If you keep Ahrefs, GreatCompany sits next to it for $49 a month instead of the module.
What Ahrefs Brand Radar is built for
Market research on any domain, a huge prompt database and six platforms including AI Overviews and AI Mode, all in the same reports as your SEO. If you use that breadth, Brand Radar is in its place.
Where it pinches, especially for agencies
The full model set is $699 a month, and much of the value sits in the market-wide index and the rest of the Ahrefs suite. If you only want to know whether AI mentions you for your own questions, and what to fix, you pay for a lot you do not use. GreatCompany Agency covers three sites for $149 a month, with extra sites at $39.
