Why look
AirOps is built for content engineering at scale. Teams start looking at Wellows when the price is unclear or the workflows go unused.
The AirOps pricing page listed Solo, Pro and Enterprise with task limits, but showed no plan prices in its page text. Anyone who needs a figure for a budget request has to start a trial or speak to sales before comparing tools.
AirOps Insights tracks citation rate, mentions, sentiment and share of voice. If that is the only part you use, you are paying for content workflows, Grids and brand kits that sit idle, and a dedicated tracker may cost less each month for the same reporting.
Workflows, Grids and agents pay off when a content engineer owns them. Without that role, workflows can stall partway through setup, and the tool may end up opened mainly for its reports.
Citations
A backlink only helps in AI search when the engine cites the page it sits on. AirOps reports citations and an Offsite Insights view; Wellows splits the two kinds into separate numbers.
ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity used your own URL as a source. AirOps counts it in its citation rate, and Wellows logs it as an explicit citation by prompt, engine and URL.
Grow these on-site with Content Opportunities, KIVA keyword research, AI drafts and section fixes.
The engine used a review, roundup, Reddit thread or video that names or links to you. AirOps lists external cited URLs in Offsite Insights; Wellows counts these as implicit citations and grades each page for tone.
Grown off-site: cited pages that name rivals, verified contacts and a drafted pitch.
Tracking
The overview starts with a written summary of the last run: what changed, which rival climbed, where you lost ground and the first fix. Rank, visibility and citations come next.
Each row shows the prompt's topic, buyer intent, mention type and visibility score. Expand it for the full AI response and its sources, each marked positive, neutral or negative, which brings your shadow reputation into view.
Third-party pages AI engines quote where a rival appears and your brand does not, sorted by domain authority and the citations each could win.
What you also get
Cited pages that feature your rivals and not you, sorted by authority and likely citation gain. Each one comes with a verified contact and a pitch you can send that same day.
KIVA works from your own Search Console data to choose the terms and follow-up questions a missing page should cover. Wellows drafts the page from that research, shaped to be quoted.
Pages you never wrote shape what AI engines say about you. Wellows scores the tone of each cited page and ranks the critical ones by how often engines pull them in, so the worst get fixed first.
A short summary lands each morning: what changed, which competitor gained ground and where you slipped. Rivals get the same tone scan as you, so a change in how AI describes them is easy to catch early.
AirOps offers custom dashboards. Wellows includes per-client and per-country dashboards in your agency's branding on every plan from $29.
Every brand, market and client is its own project, and the whole team can log in. Seats are not metered and never change the price.
Fair test
AirOps earns its place when content engineers run governed workflows at scale. Wellows fits when the numbers are the job.
Outcome: You get the numbers you report.
Outcome: Content ships at scale, with guardrails in place.
Costs
AirOps combines content engineering with AI search insights. Here is how it lines up on three points.

This is how Wellows does it
Wellows’ proven framework for AI visibility optimization.
“See, Craft, Proof, Sell” is what you experience. C.I.T.A.T.I.O.N.™ is the eight-step method behind it.
Eight steps, one loop. That’s the difference between a platform that reports a number and a method built to move it.
See the method in actionExactly where you’re cited today and where you’re not, against every named competitor.
We check both the AI answer and the source pages behind it, the layer most tools never open.
The gap becomes a ranked list: the prompts and pages worth going after first, not a generic content calendar.
KIVA, our built-in writing assistant, drafts the page against your own Search Console data.
Citations you can go earn directly, not just wait for.
Nothing sits still. Every shift surfaces the next day, at the URL level.
The goal was never a mention. It’s being the source the model pulls from.
Pick two dates, see the exact lift, and put your climb next to a named rival.

Testimonials
Feedback from people working in AI search.
Your client's competitors are being cited by ChatGPT. Your client isn't. And until you fix that, the gap is only going to widen. The strategy is simple. Get your client onto the pages that LLMs already trust. But finding those pages? That used to be a nightmare. Wellows changes this completely.
Freddie ChattEcommerce SEO ConsultantIf you want to measure AI visibility, reliably track your LLM citations, identify where competitors are winning, and systematically close those gaps. That's exactly what Wellows is built for.
Vladi KriulinContent StrategistYou're guessing which sites to contact. Guessing what to say. Guessing if it'll even move the needle on AI visibility. That's where Wellows turns this into a repeatable system. And it's why I've decided to use this.
Alex GrobermanFounder, Alex Groberman LabsI've been testing a tool called Wellows that turns these hidden signals into real visibility. The workflow is surprisingly smart!
