The four that decide it for most people, each with the source for the other side.
AI visibility tracking: 110 prompts on 5 models on Core, 250 prompts on 8 models on Pro, up to 14 models on Enterprise, with content and technical optimization actions (higoodie.com, read Oct 29, 2026). Paperboy does not report how often AI answers mention your brand. It has a free check that shows whether AI crawlers can read your site, and nothing more on that side.
Paperboy writes the article, compares every cited claim with the saved text of its source and publishes it. On Goodie AI's side: Partial. Content Studio generates content in your brand voice that you edit, then publish directly or export for your CMS workflow. The pricing page lists WordPress, Vercel, Cloudflare and CloudFront integrations on Enterprise only. Which CMS targets work on Core and Pro is not listed (higoodie.com, read Oct 29, 2026).
Measuring shows the gap. Fixing it takes a page that answers the question and cites sources a model can lean on, which is the part Paperboy writes. Goodie AI on search data: Partial. Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Bing Webmaster Tools integrations are listed on Core and Pro, and the pricing page describes a research-to-revenue loop. The pages read do not say how Search Console data picks or refreshes content (higoodie.com, read Oct 29, 2026).

About Goodie AI
Answer engine optimization platform that monitors how AI models describe your brand and acts on gaps with content and technical agents. (its own description, read Oct 29, 2026)
higoodie.com blocks curl with Cloudflare, so the pricing page was read through WebFetch twice with matching figures. A search result snippet showed older figures ($399, 120 prompts); the live page shows $295 and 110 prompts. One fetch said MCP is Pro and Enterprise only; the Core card text lists MCP, which is what is recorded here.

| Core | $295/month billed monthly (annual toggle says 2 months free) | 5 core models (ChatGPT, AI Overview, Perplexity, AI Mode, Copilot); 110 prompts; 10 pages tracked; 50 optimizations per month; 40M agent tokens; unlimited seats; MCP; Google Analytics, Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools integrations; AEO strategist support |
