Qwairy is one of the more visible names in European generative engine optimization, and one of the least documented in English. Its platform promises to show how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and other assistants describe your brand, and to supply the content and link work needed to change those answers. This review looks at what Qwairy publishes about itself, what its measurable footprint says, and where the offer sits in the category.
One disclosure first, because it changes how you should read everything below. Citeme is a direct competitor. We sell AI visibility tracking and we run GEO as an agency. We have not bought a Qwairy licence and we have not run the product. What follows is an assessment of a public offer, its published claims and its measurable signals, not a hands-on test. Where a judgement would require months of daily use, we say so instead of guessing.
What Qwairy is, in the vendor's own words
Qwairy positions itself as a GEO platform: software that measures, analyses and improves how a brand appears inside AI-generated answers. Per the vendor's own site, the product is organised around six named surfaces. Cockpit is the dashboard, carrying performance scores, a GEO matrix and competitor benchmarking with alerting. Monitor tracks mentions across assistants. Act turns findings into content briefs and backlink opportunities. Analyze covers sentiment and brand perception. Optimize holds a page inventory with health diagnostics. Measure handles crawler analytics, referrer analysis and what the vendor calls AI revenue tracking.
That last cluster is worth pausing on. A lot of tools in this category stop at mention counting. Qwairy's materials describe a chain running from measurement through to attribution, including log-level crawler analytics and a revenue view. Whether that revenue view is a genuine attribution model or a labelled traffic report is the kind of question a demo answers and a website does not.
Engine coverage is stated precisely, which is more than most vendors manage. Qwairy lists ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Grok via both API and interface, Copilot, Google AI Overview and Google AI Mode via interface only, and Claude, Mistral and DeepSeek via API only. That distinction matters and few buyers ask about it. An API answer and a logged-in interface answer to the same prompt are not the same artefact. The interface version carries personalisation, memory and live retrieval that the API does not, so it is closer to what your customer actually sees. The API is cleaner, but less representative. Claiming both for the four biggest engines is a real technical position, not marketing filler.
In short : Qwairy publishes an unusually specific engine list, including the API versus interface distinction that most competitors leave vague, and its feature map extends past mention counting into crawler logs and attribution.
Pricing is public, in euros, and that is a point in its favour
Much of this category hides pricing behind a sales call. Qwairy does not. The plans below are the vendor's published figures as of 27 August 2026.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Prompts per month | Credits per month | Workspaces |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 65 EUR (list 79 EUR) | 790 EUR | 100 | 1,300 | 1 |
| Growth | 165 EUR (list 199 EUR) | 1,990 EUR | 300 | 3,900 | 5 |
| Business | 374 EUR (list 449 EUR) | 4,490 EUR | 800 | 10,400 | 20 |
| Enterprise | On request | On request | Unlimited, per vendor | Custom | Unlimited, per vendor |
All paid tiers advertise the same breadth: 10 or more engines, 240 or more countries, 45 or more languages. A free plan carries 120 credits with no card required, annual billing is presented as two months free, and payment runs on cards and SEPA direct debit.
Two things deserve scrutiny before you sign. First, the discounted monthly prices sit next to permanently displayed list prices. A discount that never expires is a price, so treat 65, 165 and 374 EUR as the real numbers rather than assume you caught a promotion.
Second, and more consequentially, the pricing runs on two meters at once. You get a prompt allowance and a credit allowance. Anything that consumes credits outside your tracked prompts, and a crawler analytics module or an on-demand audit plausibly does, eats into the same pool. The published ratio is a clean 13 credits per prompt at every tier, which suggests credits are the primitive and prompts a derived comfort number. Ask the vendor what a single prompt check across ten engines costs in credits, and what happens when the pool empties mid-month. That answer determines whether Starter tracks a hundred prompts or a hundred prompts once.
At the low end the pricing is competitive: a hundred tracked prompts for 65 EUR a month is entry-level money here, and the free tier with no card is a low-friction way to see the interface. It gets less obviously cheap in the middle, because Growth triples the prompt count and triples the price, so there is no volume discount until you are talking to sales. If you are comparing across the field, our roundup of the best AI visibility tools in 2026 sets these numbers against the rest of the market.
In short : Qwairy publishes real prices, which is worth credit in a category built on sales calls, but the dual prompt-and-credit meter is the thing to interrogate before you buy, because it decides what your allowance really buys.
The claims, and how much weight they can carry
Qwairy's site carries a set of performance figures. We list them as attributed vendor claims, because none can be independently verified.
| Claim | Source per vendor | What it would take to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Plus 40 percent AI visibility in 45 days | Pysae case study | A defined visibility metric, a baseline, and a control for engine-side model updates in the same window |
| Three times more brand mentions in 60 days | Pysae case study | The prompt set used, and whether it was fixed across the period |
| Plus 145 percent AI search rankings | Webloom clients | A definition of what an AI search ranking is, which is not a settled concept |
| 87 percent see results within 30 days | Qwairy | The population surveyed, the response rate, and the threshold for a result |
| 2,000 or more brands | Qwairy | Whether free-tier accounts count as brands |
| 4.8 out of 5 on G2 | Qwairy site | G2 itself, which showed 4.7 across 43 reviews when we measured the SERP |
The G2 gap is small and probably just a stale number on the website rather than anything sinister, but it is the one claim on the list we could check, and it did not match. The customer names are the more interesting signal: the about page cites Total and Match.com among its users, so the roster is not purely domestic. What a logo does not tell you is contract size or whether the relationship is a paid seat or a pilot.
The general problem here is not specific to Qwairy. Nobody in this category has a settled definition of visibility, share of voice or an AI ranking, which means every percentage improvement is measured against a metric the vendor invented. That is not dishonest, it is just early. It does mean cross-vendor comparison of headline results is close to meaningless, and you should benchmark on your own prompt set inside a trial instead. Our guide to winning visibility in AI search covers how to build that prompt set so the numbers mean something.
In short : every headline figure on the Qwairy site is a vendor claim against a vendor-defined metric, and the only one we could independently check, the G2 score, was slightly overstated on the site.
A French company, and why that matters to an English-speaking buyer
Qwairy is explicit about this. The footer reads Made in France and the entity is Qwairy SAS. The about page names three French co-founders: Luca Fancello as CMO, an SEO consultant formerly at Skyscanner, Nicolas Ilhe as CTO, and Aimé Dushimire as COO, previously a co-founder of CallDesk. The company states EU data hosting.
If you are buying from anywhere inside the European regulatory perimeter, this is good news. EU hosting and an EU legal entity remove a set of data transfer questions an American vendor forces you to answer with contractual clauses, which for a regulated buyer can shorten procurement by weeks. SEPA payment and euro invoicing also mean no currency exposure on a recurring bill.
If you are buying from North America, the calculation flips. Euro-denominated pricing means your real cost moves with the exchange rate. Support hours are more material: a Paris team overlaps with the US East Coast for the morning and with the West Coast barely at all, so a question raised at 2pm Pacific is generally a next-day answer. For a monitoring tool that mostly runs unattended that may be acceptable, but for an agency running client escalations it is a real operational cost, and worth asking about directly.
The least obvious point concerns the product's centre of gravity. A tool built primarily for French-language monitoring makes different choices than one built for English: how brand-name disambiguation works, how sentiment is scored in a language with different negation patterns. Qwairy claims 45 or more languages and 240 or more countries at every tier, and breadth claims of that shape are usually a function of engine capability rather than the vendor's own tuning. If your monitoring is English-first, ask to see the sentiment output on your own brand in English during a trial. Google, for its part, files Qwairy inside the French GEO cluster alongside Meteoria, GetMint, Goodie AI, Llmref and Promptmonitor, which is consistent with everything on the site.
In short : Qwairy's French base is an advantage for European buyers on hosting, billing and compliance, and a friction for North American ones on support hours and currency, and the language question is worth testing in a trial rather than reading off a feature list.
What the measurable signals say
We ran the domain data ourselves on 27 August 2026 with DataForSEO. Two findings cut against assumptions a buyer might make.
First, the domain. Qwairy's product sits on qwairy.co, not qwairy.com. That distinction is not cosmetic. The table below shows why. If you are evaluating this company by its domain footprint, measure the .co: the .com is a materially weaker and dirtier profile, and it is not where the product lives.
| Metric | qwairy.co | qwairy.com |
|---|---|---|
| Domain rank | 239 | 84 |
| Backlinks | 1,121 | 53 |
| Referring domains | 146 | 41 |
| Backlink spam score | 6 | 36 |
| Pages crawled | 586 | 12 |
| First seen | May 2025 | November 2023 |
A rank of 239 on a domain first seen fifteen months ago is a fast build. For context, Citeme measures 149 on the same scale and the same day, so Qwairy is the stronger domain of the two, and we would rather report that than pretend otherwise. What a domain rank does not measure is product quality: a company good at acquiring links is demonstrating marketing competence, not measurement accuracy.
Second, the market signal. Searching qwairy in the United States returns 20 searches per month with low competition, but a cost per click of 26.78 USD and high-range bids reaching 83.58 USD. Almost no volume and extremely expensive clicks is the fingerprint of a small market where each visitor is worth a great deal, fought over by well-funded competitors bidding on each other's brand names.
The English-language results page is thinner than the brand's ambitions. Positions are held by the company's own site, a G2 listing at 4.7 across 43 reviews, its French LinkedIn page, a PDF on an events platform, a Context7 developer listing, a YouTube channel with roughly 90 followers, and one comparison page on Sorank. Independent English coverage therefore amounts to two pages: a review aggregator and a single competitor comparison. There is no substantive English editorial review of this product. Related searches confirm the appetite, with Qwairy reviews and Qwairy alternative both appearing even though neither returns measurable volume yet.
In short : the product lives on qwairy.co at domain rank 239, ahead of Citeme's 149, while the weaker qwairy.com is a separate and spammier property, and English-language independent coverage of the product amounts to a G2 page and one comparison article.
How we judged this, and what we could not judge
This review rests on three things: the vendor's published material read closely, domain and keyword measurements we ran ourselves, and category knowledge from building a competing product. It does not rest on usage. That is a legitimate basis for reviewing an offer and an illegitimate basis for reviewing an experience, so here is the boundary.
We cannot assess scoring accuracy. Every tool here samples a stochastic system. Ask ChatGPT the same question twice and you can get two different brand lists, so a visibility score is a sampling estimate with an error bar vendors rarely publish. Whether Qwairy's sampling is dense enough to separate real movement from noise is knowable only by running a fixed prompt set for weeks and looking at the variance.
We cannot assess reliability over time either. Engines change their retrieval behaviour without notice and a scraper that worked in June can silently degrade in September. The relevant question is how quickly a vendor detects and repairs that, and the only evidence is a track record you observe as a customer. Nor can we assess support quality, onboarding, how the credit meter behaves under real load, or the quality of the content briefs the Act module produces, which is the part of the offer where a tool either earns its keep or becomes an expensive dashboard. If you want to compare that kind of output rigorously, a structured head-to-head is the way, and the method we used in our Peec AI against Profound comparison and our Otterly against Peec AI comparison transfers directly. Running a GEO audit on your own domain first gives you the baseline to judge whichever tool you trial.
In short : this is a review of a public offer, not of a product experience, and the four things it cannot tell you are score accuracy, reliability over time, support quality and brief quality, all of which need weeks of use.
Verdict: 3.9 out of 5
Qwairy scores well on the things a buyer can check before paying. The engine list is specific and includes the API versus interface distinction most competitors blur. Pricing is public in a category that mostly hides it, the entry tier is affordable and the free plan needs no card. EU hosting and a French entity solve real procurement problems for European buyers. The domain footprint, rank 239 in fifteen months, indicates a company executing rather than a project that will vanish, and the founding team is named with checkable backgrounds.
It loses points in three places. The claim set is entirely self-reported against self-defined metrics, and the one figure we could verify, the G2 rating, was slightly overstated. The dual prompt-and-credit meter is opaque enough that a buyer cannot calculate their real allowance from the public page, an odd gap for a vendor otherwise praised for transparency. And the two-domain situation, with a spammier qwairy.com beside the product's qwairy.co, is loose housekeeping for a company selling brand visibility.
It suits European marketing teams and agencies, particularly French-speaking ones, that want broad engine coverage without an enterprise contract and value EU data residency. Look harder if you are a North American team needing same-timezone support, or if your measurement programme depends on documented score methodology, because that is not published. Trial it on the free tier with your own prompts before forming a view, and ask about credits.
In short : 3.9 out of 5, earned on transparency, coverage and European fit, and held back by unverifiable claims, an opaque credit meter and untidy domain management.
FAQ
How much does Qwairy cost?
Qwairy publishes its pricing, which is unusual in this category. As of 27 August 2026 the vendor lists Starter at 65 EUR per month against a 79 EUR list price, Growth at 165 EUR against 199 EUR, and Business at 374 EUR against 449 EUR. Enterprise is quoted on request. Annual billing is presented as two months free, so 790, 1,990 and 4,490 EUR respectively. Prompt allowances are 100, 300 and 800 per month, with matching credit pools of 1,300, 3,900 and 10,400. A free plan carries 120 credits and needs no card. Because the discounted prices sit permanently beside list prices, treat the lower numbers as the actual cost. The important unknown is how credits are consumed by features other than prompt checks, since both meters draw on the same monthly allowance and the public page does not explain the conversion.
Which AI engines does Qwairy track?
The vendor lists ten engines and, helpfully, specifies the access method for each. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Grok are covered through both the API and the user interface. Copilot, Google AI Overview and Google AI Mode are covered through the interface only. Claude, Mistral and DeepSeek are covered through the API only. That distinction matters more than buyers usually realise. An interface answer carries personalisation, memory and live retrieval that an API call does not, so it is closer to what a real customer sees, while an API answer is cleaner but less representative. Having both for the four largest assistants is a meaningful technical position rather than marketing copy. The presence of Mistral also signals the company's home market, since that model has real traction in French-speaking enterprise procurement and very little elsewhere.
Is Qwairy a French company?
Yes. The site carries a Made in France mark and the legal entity is Qwairy SAS. The about page names three French co-founders: Luca Fancello as chief marketing officer, with an SEO consulting background and prior time at Skyscanner, Nicolas Ilhe as chief technology officer, and Aimé Dushimire as chief operating officer, previously a co-founder of CallDesk. The company states that data is hosted in the European Union. For a European buyer this is a practical advantage, because EU hosting and an EU entity remove data transfer questions that an American vendor forces into contractual clauses, and euro invoicing with SEPA payment avoids currency exposure. For a North American buyer the trade-off runs the other way, mainly on support hours, since a Paris team overlaps only partially with United States business hours. Google also files Qwairy within the French GEO cluster alongside Meteoria, GetMint, Goodie AI, Llmref and Promptmonitor.
Did Citeme test Qwairy before writing this review?
No, and that boundary is deliberate. Citeme has not purchased a Qwairy licence and has not run the product. This review assesses a public offer: the vendor's published feature descriptions, its stated engine coverage, its listed pricing, its self-reported performance claims, and measurable signals we gathered independently on 27 August 2026 using DataForSEO. Citeme is also a direct competitor, selling AI visibility tracking and GEO services, which we state early precisely because a reader should weigh that when reading a rating. What this method cannot produce is any judgement requiring sustained use. Score accuracy, reliability as engines change their behaviour, support responsiveness and the practical quality of generated content briefs all need weeks of daily work with the tool. We would rather name those gaps than invent an experience we did not have, since a fabricated test would be worse than no test.
What is the difference between qwairy.co and qwairy.com?
They are separate properties with very different profiles, and the product lives on the .co. Measured on 27 August 2026, qwairy.co carries a domain rank of 239 built on 1,121 backlinks from 146 referring domains, with a low backlink spam score of 6 and 586 pages crawled, first observed in May 2025. The qwairy.com domain carries a rank of 84 from just 53 backlinks across 41 referring domains, with a backlink spam score of 36, first observed in November 2023. Anyone evaluating the company by domain authority should measure the .co, since the .com is both far weaker and considerably dirtier. For a company selling brand visibility, leaving a low-quality domain variant unconsolidated is untidy housekeeping, and it is one of the reasons this review holds back part of a point.
Are there other English reviews of Qwairy?
Very few. When we measured the United States search results for the brand on 27 August 2026, the page was held mostly by the company's own properties: its website in first place, its French LinkedIn page, a YouTube channel with roughly 90 followers, a PDF hosted on an events platform, and a developer documentation listing on Context7. Independent English coverage came to two entries: a G2 product page showing 4.7 out of 5 across 43 reviews, and one comparison article on Sorank pitting Qwairy against Bluefish AI. So a review aggregator and a single versus page, with no substantive editorial review in English. The related searches on that same page included Qwairy reviews and Qwairy alternative, so the demand signal exists even though neither phrase returns measurable monthly volume yet in the United States.
