Oetzi vs Am I Cited: two credit meters, one that drafts

Pick Am I Cited if you want AI visibility tracking with position metrics and a credit meter that lets you scale prompt volume up or down by month. Pick Oetzi if you want your credits to buy action as well as measurement, because after each share of model check it surfaces the cited threads, drafts the reply, and drafts the post. Both meter by credit. Only one of them writes.

What Am I Cited does well

Am I Cited tracks how often AI engines cite your brand and reports position metrics, so you know not just whether you appear but where in the answer. Its metering is credit based, which is a fairer model for founders than seat pricing because a quiet month costs less than a busy one. It runs four published tiers with a seven day trial, so you can test before paying. It also publishes its own vs pages against Profound and Nightwatch, which tells you the company is comfortable being compared. The engine list is not published in a form we track, so check amicited.com for coverage.

Credits that measure or credits that act

The credit model is where the two tools look alike and are not. Am I Cited spends credits on tracking. Position metrics, citation counts, trend lines. That is the whole product, and it is a clean one.

Oetzi spends credits on tracking and on the work that follows. A share of model check asks each of your category's buying questions to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, and Google AI and costs two credits per question across all five engines. The result names who was cited instead and lists the threads and pages each answer used. From there, one credit drafts two reply variants in your voice for a cited thread. One credit drafts one to three variants of a post. Edits and regenerations are free. Publishing through Postiz is free. Reading everything is free.

Approval is the other difference. Am I Cited has nothing to approve because it does not produce anything that publishes. Oetzi drafts and then waits. Nothing goes out without you. That matters if you have ever watched an automated tool post on your behalf.

Agent access differs too. Am I Cited does not publish API or MCP access. Oetzi exposes every capability through an MCP server, a REST API, and a CLI. A paid call returns a quote first and runs only with approval and a credit cap.

Pick Am I Cited if

• You want position metrics, not just presence, and that granularity drives your decisions.
• Your team already writes and posts, and you only need a clean measurement layer.
• You want to scale prompt volume by month and prefer euro pricing with a trial.
• You like a vendor that publishes head to head comparisons against bigger tools.

Pick Oetzi if

• You want your metering to cover drafting, listening, and share of model in one plan.
• You want the cited threads surfaced and a reply drafted for your approval, not just a count.
• You need social listening with intent scores across seven platforms alongside the tracking.
• You run agents that need a quote and a spend cap before every paid call.
