Compare Lighthouse Local vs. LLM Pulse
LLM Pulse is a European AI search visibility platform that runs each prompt across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI on every plan, weekly by default, with Claude as a paid add-on and prices in euros from 49 € a month. 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 LLM Pulse 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 at the published price, with no model sold as an add-on priced by plan.
- You sell in towns and want each question pointed at the city and service area a customer is standing in, not a country plus a place name you typed into the prompt.
- You want daily checks on the questions that matter most included in your plan, rather than a separate daily price on every prompt.
- 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.
Choose LLM Pulse if
- You want the places ChatGPT recommends listed with their address, rating, review count and position, your own branches badged, on every plan.
- You want a prompt counted once across all the models on your plan, in whichever countries and languages you set, with unlimited team members at no cost.
- You want three white-label routes, a branded subdomain, your own domain over a CNAME record, or dashboards embedded in your product, on a Partner or Enterprise plan.
- You want an MCP server on every plan, trial included, plus a REST API, a CLI and a Looker Studio connector from Scale.

Plans, side by side
Lighthouse Local prices come straight from our plan catalog. LLM Pulse'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.

See full pricingWhat a tracked prompt includes, and what daily costs
Start with LLM Pulse's unit, because it's a clean one. A tracked prompt runs on every AI model your plan includes and counts once, and its five included models are ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Starter carries 50 prompts for 49 € a month, Growth 150 for 99 € and Scale 450 for 299 €, all in euros before VAT, with unlimited team members on every tier. By default every prompt runs weekly, on Monday at midnight Madrid time, and the pricing page says so plainly rather than burying it. Claude is sold as an add-on that covers every prompt on the plan, and its page says that's why the price rises with the tier, from 25 € a month on weekly Starter to 150 € on Scale.
Two questions follow for any vendor. Which assistants are checked at the price on the card, and what does it cost to check them daily? On LLM Pulse daily tracking is a second price list for the same plans, 79 € on Starter, 149 € on Growth and 449 € on Scale, and the Claude add-on has its own daily rates too, 65 € on Starter and 585 € on Scale. For a brand that's happy with a weekly read and doesn't need Claude, the weekly card is the whole bill.
Lighthouse Local checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI on every plan at the published price, with no model sold separately. 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 the questions that matter most get a daily read inside the plan you bought.
How each one handles the town a customer is standing in
This is where LLM Pulse has done real work. A market is a country and language pair set on each prompt, so one project can track as many markets as you like, and local intent goes into the prompt text itself, its own examples being a physiotherapist in Valencia or a running store in Barcelona. On top of that sits Local Businesses, on every plan, which stores every place an AI answer lists with its name, address, phone, website, rating, review count and position, badges your own locations, names competitor branches, and charts it weekly with export to CSV or Excel. For a chain that wants to see which of its branches the model names in each city, that's a genuinely useful view. Its page is also candid that these lists come from ChatGPT answers today.
The question to ask any vendor is what changes when you add a town. Is it a new place the question is asked from, or a new phrase inside the prompt, and which assistants does the local view cover? On LLM Pulse the town lives in the wording and the place list comes from one assistant, so a roofer in Mesa gets a national prompt that mentions Mesa, with the Gemini and Perplexity answers tracked and no place list captured from them.
Lighthouse Local points each question at a city and service area, or at a country, on every plan and for every assistant we track, so a gap in one town shows up as that town across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI. The ranked fix list then says what to change for that place, and our specialists can make the fixes, including your Google Business Profile and local citations, with each change waiting for your approval.
Running several clients in one account
Follow one agency with six clients through each product. On LLM Pulse a client is a project, with Scale carrying 5 and an extra project priced at 50 € a month, and the Partner plan starting at 1,499 € a month for 25 projects and 3,600 prompts, with per-client access and roles, branded PDF reports and a dedicated onboarding team. White label comes in three shapes, a branded subdomain on an llmpulse.ai address, a full white label on your own domain through one CNAME record with branded sign-in and emails, or dashboards embedded in your own product by iframe. All three are switched on by its team after a call, priced by the number of client projects and prompts, and the plan table shows white label on Enterprise and the Partner tier rather than any self-serve plan.
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? LLM Pulse's pages answer the first with a quote and the second with a published 50 € per project on self-serve tiers.
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 call needed to switch it on. 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 a Partner quote and cost six clients on each.
Frequently asked questions
Is Lighthouse Local an alternative to LLM Pulse?
Yes, when AI visibility is the job. LLM Pulse pairs weekly prompt tracking across five included models with recommendations, a GEO Writer and a Local Businesses view, in euros from 49 € a month, so it suits a marketing team that wants the data, the drafts and an MCP server in one login, priced in euros. 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 LLM Pulse track?
Its pricing page includes five models on every plan, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, with each prompt run on all of them and counted once. Claude is a paid add-on priced by plan, from 25 € a month on weekly Starter to 150 € on Scale, alongside Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek, Meta AI and others at their own rates, and a few models are sold only through sales. If your customers ask Claude, the add-on is part of the price. Lighthouse Local checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI on every plan, including the first one.
How much does LLM Pulse cost?
Its pricing page lists prices in euros before VAT, with weekly tracking as the default and daily tracking as a separate price on every plan. Weekly Starter is 49 € a month with 50 prompts and 1 project, Growth 99 € with 150 prompts and 2 projects, and Scale 299 € with 450 prompts and 5 projects. Daily is 79 €, 149 € and 449 € for the same tiers. Scale+ and Scale++ carry more prompts, Partner plans start at 1,499 € with 25 projects, and Enterprise is quoted. Annual billing takes two months off. Our plans show a monthly allowance of AI answer checks on the cards above, billed monthly or annually.
Does LLM Pulse track local questions by city?
Its help center says each prompt runs in the countries and languages you pick, and local intent is written into the prompt text, a physiotherapist in Valencia for example. Its Local Businesses view, on every plan, lists the places ChatGPT recommends with address, rating, reviews and position and badges your own branches. Nothing on the pages we read describes a city, radius or service-area setting or a Google Business Profile connection, and the place lists come from ChatGPT today. Lighthouse Local points each question at a city and service area, or nationally, on every plan and for every assistant we track.
Does LLM Pulse have a free trial?
Yes, 14 days with full access on the weekly Starter, Growth and Scale plans, one trial per organization. Its pricing FAQ and refund page say a valid payment method is required and the subscription starts automatically when the trial ends unless you cancel first. Its help center adds that daily plans, Scale+ and Scale++ start paid without a trial, and that paid add-ons such as Claude are unavailable during a trial. Lighthouse Local's self-serve plans include a 14-day free trial, every feature included, with tracking from day one.
Can agencies white-label LLM Pulse?
Yes, on the Partner and Enterprise tiers, after a call. Its white-label page describes three options, a branded subdomain with your logo and colors on an llmpulse.ai address, a full white label on your own domain through a CNAME record with branded sign-in, emails and PDF reports, and dashboards embedded in your product by iframe. The price depends on the option, the client projects and the prompts, and its page says it isn't an add-on you can buy from the billing page. 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 LLM Pulse data?
Yes, and this is one of LLM Pulse's strengths. Its MCP server is included on every plan and during the trial, signs in with OAuth rather than an API key, and works from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf and Zed, with tools covering prompts, competitors, citations and the Local Businesses data. A REST API with a CLI and SDKs, plus a Looker Studio connector, arrive 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.
