Compare Lighthouse Local vs. Dageno

Dageno is an AI search intelligence platform that runs your prompts daily across nine AI platforms, in the countries and languages you set, from a $49 Starter plan with market and competitor data beside the brand tracking. Lighthouse Local covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI on every plan, by city and service area or nationally, with fixes our specialists can make. Here's how they compare, every Dageno fact sourced from its own pages.

Which one is built for you?

Two honest lists. Pick the one that sounds like your week.

Choose Lighthouse Local if

  • You want ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI all checked on the plan you buy today, Claude included.
  • You sell in towns as well as countries, and want each question pointed at the city and service area a customer is standing in, not a country code.
  • You want a plain-English answer with no dashboard to learn, set up in ten minutes, and a fix list our specialists carry out once you've approved each change.
  • You run several clients and want each one inside a dashboard under your brand, with unlimited client reports, from your first agency plan rather than a partner review.

Choose Dageno if

  • You want nine AI platforms, including Grok, Copilot and Google AI Mode, on a $49 Starter plan with no separate charge per model or region.
  • You monitor several countries and languages and want each prompt tagged with its region codes and language, uploaded in bulk by CSV.
  • You want market data beside your brand tracking, with market segments on every plan and AI Shopping and AI Advertising views from Growth and Scale.
  • You want an MCP server from Growth and an API with batch configuration and data exports from Scale, so your own tools read the data.

Plans, side by side

Lighthouse Local prices come straight from our plan catalog. Dageno's are what its pricing page showed on October 22, 2026. A prompt count on its own undersells coverage, because Lighthouse Local runs every tracked prompt on ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI, so compare the answer checks a month.

Which assistants your plan checks, and where

Start with the platform list and the place each prompt points at. Dageno's pricing page lists nine AI platforms on every paid plan, namely ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overview, Copilot, Brave and Dola, with no separate charge by model or region, and 86+ countries and regions from Starter. Each prompt you set up carries a topic, one or more region codes such as US or UK, and a language, and its docs point out that English users in the United States and English users in Singapore can get very different recommendations. For a brand selling across several countries, that's a thoughtful model, and the bulk CSV upload makes it workable at volume.

Two questions follow for any vendor. Which assistants does the plan I can buy today check, and what does one more place do to my allowance? On Dageno a prompt counts separately for every platform and every region it runs in, so 50 prompts on Starter is the pool those nine platforms and your regions draw from, and the page shows the estimated usage before you save. Claude isn't on the list of nine, and the most specific place a prompt can be pointed at is a country or region code.

Lighthouse Local checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI on every plan, from the first self-serve tier, and points each question at a city and service area or at a country. The pricing cards above show each plan's monthly allowance of AI answer checks, with a weekly sweep over every question and daily checks on the ones you mark, so a roofer in Mesa and a brand selling nationwide each get the question asked where their customers are.

From a diagnosis to a published fix

Dageno's diagnosis center is where the tracking turns into work. It groups what it finds into issue types such as a brand that's absent, mentions that come and go, a lower placement or prompts with little volume, and gives each one an action priority. From an issue you can generate an in-depth guide or a problem-solution piece through its Content Writer, mark the issue resolved, and watch it retest. On the pricing page, issues and opportunities with supporting evidence are listed from Growth, with Starter covering monitoring and the answers themselves. Dageno also sells a separate GEO managed service, scoped as a typical 90-day project, with no fixed package or price shown on its site.

The question that follows is who carries the action out. A generated guide still needs an editor and a place to publish, a citation gap still needs outreach, and a listing problem still needs someone with the login. Its own pricing FAQ is clear that the MCP and API connections don't modify websites, publish content or perform optimizations. So a diagnosis is a to-do list, and the plan you're on decides whether you get the list at all.

Lighthouse Local hands every plan a ranked fix list in plain English, ordered by what moves your visibility most, from the first self-serve tier. If nobody on your side wants that job, our specialists make the fixes, including on-page changes, Google Business Profile management and local citations, each one waiting for your approval. If your team wants a diagnosis with drafts beside the tracker and will publish the work itself, Dageno's Growth plan is built for that.

Running several clients in one account

Follow one agency with six clients through each product. On Dageno, a client is a project, and the pricing page tags Scale, at $410 a month with 5 projects, for multi-brand teams and agencies, with unified comparison across brands and clients, an API with batch configuration and exports, and monthly market insight reports. A Pitch Builder agent in its docs turns the data into client-ready reports and proposals, from a 7-day report to a monthly review, which you can preview on desktop, tablet and phone and download. Six clients is one more project than Scale carries, so the sixth is a conversation with its team.

Put two questions to any vendor and keep the replies. On which plan does the client's live view carry your brand, and what does one more client add to the bill? Dageno's partner page answers the first with a process rather than a plan. White-label partnerships are available for discussion, each project confirms brand presentation, client ownership and commercial terms separately, and white-label access isn't a general permission granted after application. The program is open on a limited basis and partner applications are reviewed by hand.

From the first agency plan, our clients' dashboards carry your brand on your own domain, through a white-label dashboard with unlimited client reports and a shared prompt pool, no partner review needed. Lighthouse Local's Beacon puts an embeddable AI visibility audit on your site, so a prospect sees their gaps before the first call. Line up our agency plans against Scale and a Custom quote and cost six clients on each.

Frequently asked questions

Is Lighthouse Local an alternative to Dageno?

Yes, when AI visibility is the job. Dageno pairs daily prompt tracking across nine AI platforms with market data, a diagnosis center and content drafting from Growth, so it suits a marketing team that wants the data and the drafts in one login. Lighthouse Local is built around the AI answer itself. It checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI on every plan by city and service area or nationally, ranks the fixes in plain English, and has our specialists make them if you'd rather not do the work yourself.

Which AI platforms does Dageno track?

Its pricing page lists nine on every paid plan, namely ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overview, Copilot, Brave and Dola, with no separate charge by model or region, and Amazon Alexa as a custom integration on its Custom plan. Claude doesn't appear on that list on the verified date. If your customers ask Claude, that's worth weighing. Lighthouse Local checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI on every plan, including the first one.

How much does Dageno cost?

Its pricing page lists three self-serve plans in USD, billed monthly, with an annual toggle marked as saving about 15 percent and no annual figures shown. Starter is $49 a month, shown beside an original price of $89, with 1 project and 50 prompts. Growth is $199 with 2 projects and 250 prompts, and Scale is $410 with 5 projects and 600 prompts. A Custom plan is quoted. Our plans show a monthly allowance of AI answer checks on the cards above, billed monthly or annually.

Does Dageno track local questions by city?

Its docs say each prompt carries a country or region code, such as US or UK, and a language, and its pricing page counts 86+ countries and regions on every plan. Nothing on the pages we read describes a city, service-area or Google Business Profile option, so a prompt is national at its most specific. That suits a brand that sells across countries and won't suit one that sells in three towns. Lighthouse Local points each question at a city and service area, or nationally, on every plan, so a gap in one town shows up as that town.

Does Dageno have a free trial?

Its pricing page shows a 7-day free trial on the Starter plan, and its terms limit trials to one per user or organization. The homepage also offers free market exploration through its app, which its pricing page doesn't tie to any plan or brand-tracking limit. A week is enough to see the first answers, since its docs say data arrives within 15 to 20 minutes of setup, and not enough to see a trend. Lighthouse Local's self-serve plans include a 14-day free trial, every feature included, with tracking from day one.

Can agencies white-label Dageno?

Its partner page says white-label partnerships are available for discussion, that each project confirms brand presentation, client ownership, data permissions and commercial terms separately, and that white-label access isn't a general permission granted after application. The program is open on a limited basis with applications reviewed by hand. On the plan table, Scale carries 5 projects and is tagged for agencies. Lighthouse Local includes the white-label dashboard on every agency plan, with unlimited client reports, and Beacon for a branded audit on your own site.

Can I ask ChatGPT or Claude about my Dageno data?

Yes, from the Growth plan. Its pricing page lists MCP data access from Growth, and its API docs describe an MCP server with tools for brand info, GEO analysis, topics, prompts in batch, citation domains and URLs, and content, backlink and community opportunities, connected with a project API key from Claude Code, Cursor or similar tools. A REST API with exports arrives on Scale. Lighthouse Local offers the same kind of connection, so you can ask ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini about your own visibility data, and our dashboard answers in plain English for the people who'd rather not.
