The honest take
Athena HQ is positioned for marketing teams who want a guided onboarding. They're sales-led — pricing isn't on the site, you book a call, you get a quote.
SignalKit is product-led. Sign up, paste your prompts, see results within 24 hours. No call. The pricing is on the homepage and the cheapest paid plan is $9/month.
Both tools cover the core job: track how LLMs mention your brand, score visibility, watch competitors. The difference is whether you want to talk to a human before you can try it.
