Overview
AthenaHQ is a San Francisco GEO platform from the Y Combinator Winter 2025 batch that tracks brand mentions, sentiment and citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok and more. It goes past reporting with a recommendation engine, a knowledge base for claim review and white-glove setup on Enterprise. Credit-based limits mean heavy tracking gets expensive quickly, and the free Essential plan is small.
Our verdict
AthenaHQ is a good fit for brands that want tracking plus concrete guidance on what to change. The credit model rewards careful prompt selection and can get costly at scale.
Best for
Commercial and enterprise brands that want AI visibility tracking with action guidance.
Avoid if
You need a very low-cost tracker for a few prompts.
