Here's the record.

## Comparisons

- [citepath vs Profound](https://www.citepath.ai/vs/profound): Profound is the enterprise-priced category leader; citepath is the self-serve platform that goes past measurement — generating the fix, applying it, and verifying it landed by re-crawl.
- [citepath vs Otterly.AI](https://www.citepath.ai/vs/otterly): Otterly.AI is the cheapest real entry point in the category ($29/mo) but the consistent complaint across reviews is 'great for data, then what' — monitoring with thin weekly recommendations, no artifact generation, no apply/verify layer; its own crawler-reachability check is the only technical-readiness overlap with citepath and it's an afterthought there. citepath goes past measurement — generating the fix, applying it, and verifying it landed by re-crawl.

- [citepath vs Peec AI](https://www.citepath.ai/vs/peec-ai): Peec AI is the mid-market pick with the category's best-reviewed prompt workflow and source analysis — but its Actions feature stops at a ranked list of opportunities, and citepath goes past measurement: generating the fix, applying it, and verifying it landed by re-crawl.
- [citepath vs AthenaHQ](https://www.citepath.ai/vs/athenahq): AthenaHQ has the category's cleanest onboarding and widest engine coverage — but pricing cliffs from a free tier to $295+/mo with fast-burning credits, and like every monitoring tool it stops at recommendations; citepath generates the fix, applies it, and verifies it landed by re-crawl.
