At the same 120-prompt tracking volume, Waikay's Small Teams tier costs $69.95 a month against GetIntel's Growth at $99, read from waikay.io on 30 August 2026. Waikay's own brand-visibility-tracker page names 6 AI engines it tracks, more than the 5 GetIntel names at its top tier; Waikay's homepage and features page each name only 5 of the 6, using inconsistent labels for some.
Disclosure: GetIntel is an AI visibility tool and competes with Waikay. Every Waikay figure in this article was read from waikay.io on 30 August 2026, including its homepage, features page, brand-visibility-tracker page, and geo-action-plans FAQ. GetIntel's own figures are current as published on its own site.
What Does Waikay Actually Cost, and What's Included?
Waikay's pricing runs four tiers, priced by prompt volume rather than credits at most levels.
| Tier | Price | Prompts tracked | GEO Action Plans |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early Adopter Special | $24.95/month | Not stated (8 credits) | Not stated |
| Small Teams | $69.95/month | 120 | 30 |
| Large Teams | $199.95/month | 360 | 90 |
| Bigger Projects | $449.95/month | 880 | 220 |
Waikay's published pricing, read from waikay.io on 30 August 2026. Small Teams includes 2 seats; Large Teams and Bigger Projects list unlimited seats. Bigger Projects adds account-setup consultancy.
The Early Adopter Special is the outlier: it's credit-based (8 credits a month) rather than prompt-based like Small Teams, Large Teams, and Bigger Projects, and Waikay's own page doesn't state what one credit covers. Treat it as a separate, smaller offer rather than the entry point to the same pricing ladder as the other three.
How Many AI Engines Does Waikay Track, and Which Ones?
Waikay's brand-visibility-tracker page names all 6 models it tracks in one sentence: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Sonar, Google AI Mode, and Microsoft Copilot. That's the fullest and most specific engine list on Waikay's site.
Two other Waikay pages tell a slightly different story. The features page names 5, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Copilot, calling Perplexity by its brand name rather than "Sonar" and never mentioning Google AI Mode. The homepage also names 5, ChatGPT, Sonar, Gemini, Claude, and Google, using "Sonar" instead of "Perplexity" this time and the vaguer "Google" instead of "Google AI Mode." A reader who only skims the homepage or features page would come away with a slightly different, less complete picture than the brand-visibility-tracker page actually supports.
GetIntel tracks 4 engines, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, on its $29 and $49 tiers, with Claude added on the $99 Growth tier for 5 total. Waikay's fuller 6-model list, taken from its most detailed page, covers ground GetIntel doesn't: Microsoft Copilot isn't tracked by GetIntel at all, and Google AI Mode is a distinct surface from the Google AI Overviews GetIntel tracks, not the same thing under a different name.
Whether that broader coverage matters depends on where a brand's buyers actually search. For a company whose buyers are concentrated on ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google, GetIntel's narrower, more consistently-described set may be enough. For a company that wants Copilot or Google AI Mode specifically tracked, Waikay is the better match on paper, worth confirming directly since its own pages don't describe the list the same way twice.
Does Waikay Draft a Fix, or Just Report the Gap?
Documented, but as suggestions rather than a shippable draft. Waikay's geo-action-plans FAQ states an Action Plan includes "structural suggestions, content enhancement suggestions, and content creation suggestions, all organised by priority," alongside a gap analysis and prioritized recommendations by sector.
GetIntel's process goes further: a citation or sentiment gap becomes an actual drafted entity page, counter-article, or outreach email, reviewable and shippable through your own coding agent (Claude Code or Cursor) as a real diff, not a prioritized list of suggestions to act on yourself. The real distinction here is suggestions versus a draft, not documented versus undocumented; Waikay's own FAQ describes its Action Plans clearly.
Is GetIntel Cheaper Than Waikay?
No, not at every matched tier. At the same 120-prompt volume, Waikay's Small Teams tier ($69.95) is cheaper than GetIntel's Growth tier ($99). At lower prompt counts, the comparison flips: GetIntel has no directly matched cheaper Waikay tier.
At 120 tracked prompts, Waikay's Small Teams tier undercuts GetIntel's Growth tier by about 29%. GetIntel's Growth tier does include a 5th engine (Claude) and a drafted-fix workflow beyond what Waikay's suggestion-based Action Plans provide, so the two aren't offering an identical product at those prices, but on raw prompt-volume-for-dollar at that specific tier, Waikay is the better deal.
At GetIntel's lower tiers, the comparison flips further: Starter ($29, 30 prompts) and Pro ($49, 60 prompts) don't have a directly matched Waikay tier at a lower price, since Waikay's cheapest prompt-based tier is Small Teams at $69.95 for 120 prompts. A brand that only needs 30-60 tracked prompts has no equivalent cheaper option on Waikay's published ladder.
How Did We Check This?
Every Waikay figure in this piece, pricing, prompt volumes, Action Plan counts, and the named engine lists, was read directly from waikay.io on 30 August 2026, across its homepage, features page, brand-visibility-tracker page, and geo-action-plans FAQ specifically, not just the pricing table. GetIntel's own pricing and feature claims are current as published on its own site.
