Who is it for?

Aelo for SaaS: do these models replace your tool?

Choosing a tool starts with a comparison question, and the answer is increasingly provided by a model rather than a blog ranking. Aelo measures whether your product is mentioned in these answers, alongside which other brands, and what criteria the model uses.

Example of a comparative query. Sample data.

What we measure

What is revealed in the first report

In terms of tools, models usually have three default favourites. The report shows who they are and what is needed to make the list.
Comparative enquiriesReferences and position„X or Y”, „an alternative to X”, „the best tool for Z”. These are what determine the shortlist from which the user makes their choice.
Whose criteria?CitationsThe model replicates the comparison criteria used on specific websites. If these are third-party rankings, the competitor sets the selection criteria.
The default trioCompetitionYou can see which products the model mentions off the cuff and what proportion of their mentions they account for.
Documentation and comparisonsContent-based tasksMaterials from which the model can extract the answer: comparisons, descriptions of uses, specific parameters rather than keywords.
Reviews and cataloguesReputational tasksBeing present in the places the models refer to. You can’t achieve this with your own content.
A young brandA typical barrierThe product is sometimes good, but there aren’t many mentions of it online, so there’s nothing to back up the model’s reputation. This needs to be sorted out, but not in a week.
We describe the measurement method in methodology, and the module where this can be seen, in Visibility.
First scan

What you’ll find in the first report

Visibility broken down by the four models, market share compared with the specified competitors, and a list of barriers. In SaaS, the result is almost always the same: a lack of presence in other companies’ rankings.

Sample report. These figures are for illustrative purposes only; actual results will depend on the category and the competition.

We explain where these figures come from in methodology.

What is a typical month at work like?

A single scan is simply a snapshot of the current situation. It is only by comparing two scans that we can draw meaningful conclusions, which is why we work on a monthly basis.
Day 1You describe the product and identify competitors for comparison
After the scanYou receive a report, an audit and a list of tasks organised by impact
Per monthYou’re adding to the comparisons and documentation, and gaining mentions outside the domain
After a monthThe next full scan shows whether you’ve made it onto the charts
We explain why not more often in this article Why aren’t the changes visible straight away?.
To be honest

What Aelo doesn’t do

Four things product teams ask about in the first interview.
We won’t add you to someone else’s rankingAelo points out which lists you are not featured in. It is up to you to get in touch with the authors of those lists.
We do not promise growthWe measure the change between the pre-implementation scan and the post-implementation scan, without specifying a timeframe or a percentage.
There are no shortcuts to building a young brandModels require signals from outside your domain. It takes months, not days, to obtain them.
We do not integrate with the productAelo does not connect to your app. It only measures the models’ responses.

The same method produces different rates depending on the category.

Conclusion from a comparison of two scans, July 2026

In a crowded category where models have their own established favourites, working on one’s own niche brings a brand to the threshold of visibility – and that’s where it stops. Beyond that, mentions from outside that niche are needed.

Which plan does SaaS choose?

For a single product, the Starter plan is usually sufficient. The Pro plan comes in handy when you’re expanding to three products or want four advisers and adverts in Studio. Choose the Custom plan for a larger portfolio or API integration.
In every plan: visibility audit, measurement in four AI models and access to all modules.

FAQ

Questions from product teams

The questions that come up most often when discussing the tool.
Does Aelo measure the visibility of my product in AI?

It measures brand visibility in search queries within your category, including comparison queries. The set of queries is generated from the topics described in the brand profile. We describe the method in methodology.

Why does the model always list the same three players?

Because they have the most independent references: rankings, reviews and comparisons. This is a hurdle, not a verdict. It is highlighted in the first report in the module Monitoring.

We’re a young brand. Does that make sense?

It does, but with realistic expectations. Models need data from outside your domain, and it takes months to gather it. Metrics show where to start and whether your efforts are paying off.

Is it necessary to integrate Aelo with the product?

No. Aelo does not connect to the app. To begin with, it indexes the subpages of your website; the rest is gathered from the models’ responses.

Who should be listed as a competitor?

These are the products you want to be associated with in your replies. We calculate your share of mentions in relation to them. You should include them in your Brand Identity, as described in the article How to describe a brand on Aelo.

Does Aelo publish comparisons with its competitors?

The materials are prepared by Studio, based on the tasks in the report. You publish it once it has been approved.

How long will it take before I see a change?

The results are assessed following the next full scan, i.e. after a month. We discuss this in the article Why aren’t the changes visible straight away?.

You can find more questions about plans, measurements and data in FAQ.

Check whether you’re on the shortlist

You start with 250 AeloCoins, without a card. That’s enough to run a measurement and test the modules. Once you’ve used them up, you switch to a paid plan. Measurements work straight away, and a full report on your brand is included from the Starter plan onwards. You’ll see which brands the models mention in your category.
