Frase tracks visibility. Ranqer activates it.
Frase is a content + GEO platform that monitors how often ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini cite you. Ranqer runs the paid placement campaigns that put your brand inside ChatGPT answers in the first place. Two different layers, both correct.
What is Frase?
Frase is an AI content and SEO platform that ships briefs, optimized articles, site audits, and a GEO module that tracks brand citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini. Pricing runs $49/mo Starter (1 site, 10 articles, 1 monitored domain), $129/mo Professional (3 seats, 5 domains, 40 articles), $299/mo Scale (5 seats, 10 domains, 100 articles), plus a custom Enterprise tier with SSO and white-label. All paid plans include the AI agent, GEO optimization, and AI search tracking. The product is built for content teams who want one workspace for research, writing, optimization, and visibility reporting.
Frase limitations
- Read-only on the paid placement side: Frase tells you whether ChatGPT cites you, it does not buy ad inventory inside ChatGPT for you
- GEO output is content-shaped: briefs, articles, formatting, schema. There is no campaign manager, no spend pacing, no creative rotation
- Per-domain monitoring caps (1 / 5 / 10 sites) get tight if you run many client brands on Scale or below
- AI visibility tracking is sampling-based, not a guaranteed surface area in ChatGPT answers
- No regional unlock work: Frase reports citations wherever they happen, it does not get you live in gated markets like the EU or India
- Article and audit caps (10 / 40 / 100 per month) push heavy programmatic workflows into Enterprise pricing fast
Ranqer vs Frase
Why teams switch to Ranqer
You already use Frase to see your citation rate, but the number does not move because nothing is activating new surface area
You need brand presence inside ChatGPT in weeks, not whenever the model decides to surface your content
You are running paid acquisition and want ChatGPT to sit next to Google Ads and Meta as a real channel, with spend and creative under management
You operate in a supported region (US, CA, AU, NZ) or a rolling-out one (UK, MX, BR, JP, KR) and want to claim placement before competitors do
You do not want to commit the direct $200K minimum to OpenAI to access ad inventory

Is Frase a bad tool?
No. Frase is a solid content and GEO platform with real AI visibility tracking built in. It does what it says: ships briefs, articles, audits, and citation reports across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini. It just does not buy ad placement inside ChatGPT, because that is a different category.
Can I use Frase and Ranqer together?
Yes, and most teams should. Frase measures citation rate and ships the content layer. Ranqer activates paid placement inside ChatGPT for the regions we cover. Frase tells you what is happening, Ranqer changes what is happening on the paid side.
How does the cost compare?
Frase is $49 to $299/mo for the SaaS, plus your content team's time. Ranqer is a management fee ($500, $1200, or $2500/mo) plus a percentage of ad spend (7%, 5%, or 3%). They are not substitutes, you are paying for tracking + content on one side and managed paid media on the other.
What about EU, India, or MENA?
Frase will report citations from those regions, but ChatGPT ad inventory there is gated as of June 2026. Ranqer can run campaigns in US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand today, with UK, Mexico, Brazil, Japan and South Korea rolling out. EU, India and MENA are on the waitlist.
How fast can Ranqer get me visible in ChatGPT?
Once a campaign is approved and live in a supported region, placements start within days. At one Ranqer client we observed roughly 50% click-to-paid conversion on ChatGPT-sourced traffic. That is a single scoped client number, not a benchmark we promise.
