What shipped, and when

1. 31 August 2026Changed

   Google AI Overviews added, and a correction

   AI visibility now covers six surfaces: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews. The 18 August note above listed Claude and Grok. Neither was ever queried, and the pages that repeated it have been corrected. Nothing about what was tracked changed on that date; only what we said about it.

2. 19 August 2026Improved

   Free tools split into two page types

   The 22 free tools now render as either a full page or a short one, depending on the tool. A word counter no longer carries three numbered setup steps and an argument for why counting words matters. Tools that answer a question people have an opinion about, like answer readiness and schema markup, keep the longer treatment.

3. 18 August 2026Shipped

   AI visibility tracking across five engines

   kiterank now asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Mode the questions your buyers ask, and stores every answer in full. You can read exactly what each engine said about you, including the answers that name a competitor instead.

4. 18 August 2026Shipped

   Quarterly and annual billing

   Every plan can now be paid monthly, quarterly at 15 percent less, or annually at 25 percent less. The per-month figure is shown at each term alongside the amount actually charged, so a yearly plan never advertises only its monthly equivalent.

5. 18 August 2026Changed

   Three plans instead of four, and new brand limits

   The $39 Solo plan is no longer sold. Anyone already on it keeps it at the same price with the same limits, and nothing about their account changes. Starter and Growth now cover one brand each, and Agency covers three.
