PageLensvs Mentions.so.
An honest, specific comparison — what Mentions.so does, where it fits, and why teams that want to act on their AI visibility (not just measure it) run PageLens.
Mentions.so — Get your brand mentioned on top AIs
PageLens — see and shape what AI says about you
The real difference
Measuring is the easy part.Doing something about it isn't.
Mentions.so is a simple, affordable mention tracker, metered by answers per month — an easy way to start watching the top AIs. At the same $49/mo entry point, PageLens is a different scope entirely: it tracks with the verbatim answer behind each mention and then writes, publishes and earns the mention, rather than just counting it.

Where PageLens pulls ahead
Three things PageLens doesthat Mentions.so doesn't.
Same price, whole platform
For the same $49/mo, PageLens adds owned sources, the content engine, own-domain publishing and outreach — not mention counts alone.
It earns the mention
Mentions.so counts the mention; PageLens writes and publishes the page that earns it.
Evidence, not just a number
Every mention opens to the exact answer and the sources behind it.
Why the loop wins
One platform.The whole loop.
Mentions.so owns one slice of this. PageLens runs the entire ecosystem in a single platform: measure across every engine, ground it in your owned sources, write the page with the Content Engine, publish it to your own domain over DNS, amplify with social content, and win citations through the outreach agent. Each turn compounds — the measurement gets sharper because you’re the one publishing the sources.

Which to choose
Honestly —it depends on the job.
Choose Mentions.so if
Teams that want a lightweight, low-cost brand-mention counter across the major AIs.
Choose PageLens if
You want to move the number, not just watch it — one platform that tracks every engine with the answer behind each metric, then writes the content, publishes it to your own domain, and earns the citation. And you’d rather not pay enterprise prices to do it.
