Can I use Mentionry without connecting my Gmail account?

Yes. Gmail connection is optional. Everything except the automated pitch-sending feature works without it. You can draft pitches and review them, but to send them from your own mailbox, Gmail must be connected.

How often are my tracked questions put to the answer engines?

Daily. Mentionry records 150 readings per day on your tracked questions, putting each one to ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews (or up to 9 engines on Enterprise) once per day on a schedule you set.

What happens to my drafted content and pitches if I clear my browser data?

Drafts are stored in your browser's local storage, not on Mentionry's servers. If you clear your browser data, drafts are deleted locally. This is intentional — Mentionry does not keep copies of drafts to avoid storing millions of unsent pitches.

Can I track more than 50 questions on the Starter plan?

No. Starter is limited to 50 questions. To track more, you need the Enterprise plan, which supports 400 questions and is tailored per team and brands.

Does Mentionry use my content to train its AI models?

No. Mentionry explicitly does not use customer content (brand kits, knowledge bases, drafts, or emails) to train generalized AI models. Gmail data is also not used for training, per Google API Services User Data Policy.

Best Mentionry alternatives in 2026 (free and paid)

Mentionry's self-serve plan is tight. Starter at $99 per month tracks only 50 questions and 3 engines, so tracking Perplexity, Claude or Google AI Mode means a quoted Enterprise plan. API access and SSO are Enterprise only, AI Marketer runs stop at 100 per month, and drafts live only in browser local storage with no sync.

None of the three alternatives in our catalog is a direct visibility tracker, so treat them as ways to cover parts of the job. Perplexity is an AI answer engine with cited sources, a free tier and an Education Pro plan at $10 per month for verified students and faculty. Jasper is a marketing content platform with Pro at $59 per seat per month billed annually and no free plan, useful for the drafting side. ChatGPT is a general assistant with a free tier and Plus at $20 per user per month; you can query it yourself to see how your brand appears.

"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
