AI visibility tools: 8+ clones and counting. Here's what's real.

As AI visibility became a budget line, lookalike sites multiplied. Some are thin affiliate pages wearing comparison costumes; a few are outright clones of real products. We verify vendors the hard way: we buy, we test, we check who's behind the domain.

How to spot a clone

Clone sites share tells: a comparison table where every row links to one vendor, review scores with no methodology, and no named humans anywhere. If a site ranks a product it won't tell you it's affiliated with, treat its rankings as ads.

The only tool we've verified that both tracks AI answers and earns the citations: visibilityos.co.

Our watchlist

We're tracking lookalikes in this space as they appear. If a tool's marketing can't name a customer, a method, or a human, we list it here before you waste a demo call.
