Brand Radar is Ahrefs extending their link and mention infrastructure into AI surfaces. misquoted.ai is the accuracy-first product built for what the models actually say. Adjacent jobs, different deliverables.
Both products land around the $200/mo mark for one brand. That's where the similarities end.
Mentions and links are not the same data as model responses. Both are useful. Neither is the other.
We ask 50–80 questions about your brand directly to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. We compare the answers, mark the disagreements, and check claims against your site. The output is an accuracy score and a consensus matrix.
Citations and mentions are interesting context, but they are not the artifact a user sees. The user sees what the model says. That is the artifact we measure.
"We measure model output, not crawl signals."
Brand Radar leverages Ahrefs' enormous crawl footprint to track every mention of your brand across pages, news, social, and increasingly AI-indexed surfaces. It surfaces who's linking to you, what they're saying, and how that's changing over time.
For a brand reputation manager or PR-led team, this is a legitimately strong dataset. The link graph context is something AI-only tools (including us) can't match. They earned that infrastructure over a decade of crawling.
"Mentions, links, and AI surfaces — all from one crawl."

Ahrefs' crawl infrastructure is one of the most impressive things in SaaS. We are not pretending otherwise.
If your job has anything to do with the open web, you probably want this.
For the specific question Brand Radar doesn't fully answer.
For a team that doesn't already pay for Ahrefs.
Or buy the one-time $199 report. No subscription. Real answer in your inbox the same day.
If you already pay for Ahrefs, the marginal cost is $199/mo. If not, you're paying for an SEO suite to access Brand Radar.
Ahrefs Brand Radar is the right pick if your job is brand reputation across the open web — mentions, PR signal, sentiment, link velocity, the works. The crawl infrastructure makes it the strongest product in that lane. We don't try to compete on mention tracking.
misquoted is the right pick if your job is AI accuracy specifically. The CEO asked ChatGPT a question. The answer was wrong. You need to know which models got it wrong, why, and how to fix it. Brand Radar doesn't structure for that conversation. We do.
Plenty of teams will buy both. Brand Radar for the open-web brand picture, misquoted for the AI-accuracy picture. They genuinely complement each other.
Not crawl signals. Not inferred behavior. Direct queries to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. The free scan takes ninety seconds.
