I scanned 35 SaaS products across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. Here's how invisible most of them are.

I scanned 35 SaaS products across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. Here's how invisible most of them are.

I measure how AI models represent software when people ask buying questions. I've scanned 35 products so far — most are open source challengers competing against big names.

The results:

  • Aptabase — 2.2/10. All 4 models score 0 for app analytics. Firebase gets every answer.
  • Logto — 3.0/10. 0/10 on every model for "best auth tool." Auth0 and Clerk own it.
  • Trigger.dev — 3.4/10. $16M raised. 0/10 everywhere for background jobs.
  • Plane — 3.5/10. 31K GitHub stars. ChatGPT scores 0 on every query.
  • Bannerbear — 5.3/10. $630K ARR solo founder. Invisible on generic image API queries.
  • Cal.com — 6.9/10. ChatGPT (200M weekly users) scores 0/10. Calendly gets every answer.
  • Plausible — 9.3/10. Strong — but Fathom and Matomo positioned as equals on every model.

The pattern: incumbents own the AI recommendation layer. Doesn't matter how many GitHub stars you have.

I need one founder to tell me if this is worth paying for.

I'm charging $49/mo to track this weekly with alerts when your scores change. But I can't validate that until someone actually pays.

Drop your product in the comments. I'll run a free scan and post the results. If the data is useful to you, we can talk. If not, you've lost nothing.
