Scout LLM and LLM Scout are different products. Which one do you want?
First, the names. Scout LLM is us, at scoutllm.ai. LLM Scout is a different company at llmscout.co, and neither is a rebrand of the other. On the products, LLM Scout is the cheaper entry at US$39.99 a month, and it is the right shape for a small team taking a first look, with weekly reports and ChatGPT alone on that plan. We start at a free plan that does not expire and A$149 for a paid one, refresh daily rather than weekly on every paid plan, track any four engines from a pool of five including Google AI Overview, and localise to a named city. Pick on cadence and engine coverage, because that is where the two genuinely differ.

Which one should you choose?
Choose Scout LLM if
You need answers refreshed daily rather than weekly, you need Google AI Overview or Google AI Mode, you track more than one brand below an agency contract, or you sell city by city.
Choose LLM Scout if
You want the lowest published price to start, a weekly report is enough for your category, and ChatGPT is the engine you care about. Their Standard plan is a third of our Starter price.

Are Scout LLM and LLM Scout the same company?
No. We are Scout LLM, built by Top4 Technology and sold at scoutllm.ai. LLM Scout is a separate business at llmscout.co with its own product, pricing and roadmap. There is no shared ownership, no acquisition and no rebrand in either direction.
The names are close enough that buyers do mix them up, which is the reason this page exists in the form it does. If you arrived looking for llmscout.co, their site is linked at the top and at the foot of this page and you should go there. If you arrived looking for us, you are in the right place.
We have written this comparison the same way as the others on this site. Their figures are read from their own published pricing, dated, and linked so you can check them rather than take our word for it.
What is the real difference between the two products?
Cadence is the first one and it is larger than it sounds. Their published plans deliver weekly reports. Ours refresh daily on every paid tier. An AI answer can change between Tuesday and Thursday, so a weekly reading tells you that something moved without telling you what moved it, and in a competitive category a week is long enough for a rival to appear, be noticed and be responded to before you see it.
Engine coverage is the second. Their Standard plan at US$39.99 covers ChatGPT alone, and the Advanced plan at US$99.99 names ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. Neither names Google AI Overview, which is the surface that reaches people who never open an assistant, and it is the one we would not give up. If ChatGPT is genuinely where your buyers are, that difference costs you nothing and their price is hard to argue with.
Geography is the third. They publish region-level visibility, which answers "which markets are working". We target a named city as a native location parameter, which answers "are we named in Sydney and not in Melbourne". If you sell nationally, region is enough. If you sell city by city, it is not.
Which one should you actually choose?
On price alone, they win, and we would rather write that down than let you discover it. US$39.99 a month against A$149 is not a close comparison, and for a small team that wants to know whether ChatGPT mentions them at all, spending a third as much to find out is a sensible decision.
The case for us starts when the answer to that first question is no and you have to do something about it. Daily tracking across four engines including Google AI Overview, city-level localisation, the cited sources behind each answer, and a record of whether a published change actually moved the result. That is a programme rather than a report, and it is priced accordingly.
We build one of the two products on this page. Every figure in the table above was read from their own site on the date at the top and is linked below, including the rows where they beat us.
Frequently asked questions
Is LLM Scout the same as Scout LLM?
No. Scout LLM is our product, at scoutllm.ai, built by Top4 Technology. LLM Scout is a different company at llmscout.co. The names are similar and the products are not related.
Which is cheaper, Scout LLM or LLM Scout?
LLM Scout. On published entry prices that is US$39.99 a month for their Standard plan against A$149 for our Starter. We are only cheaper at the very bottom, where we publish a free plan that does not expire against their seven-day trial.
Does LLM Scout track Google AI Overview?
Their published plans name ChatGPT on Standard, and ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude on Advanced. Other copy on their site mentions AI Overviews and Gemini, so ask them directly which engines your plan includes. We track Google AI Overview on Professional and above.
How often does each product refresh?
Their published plans deliver weekly reports. We refresh daily on every paid plan, because answers change between days and a weekly reading cannot separate a real movement from ordinary variation.
Can either track a specific city?
We can. A tracked prompt carries a city token that becomes a native location parameter on the engines that accept one. LLM Scout publishes visibility by region rather than by city, so ask them if city precision decides it for you.
