What does each cost for a team like mine?

Goodie starts at $399 a month on an annual contract, or $478.80 month to month. Core buys a lot for that: 120 prompts tracked daily on five engines, two countries, five seats, a 30-minute onboarding call with an AEO strategist, MCP access and a set of agents that write and fix content.

Stride starts at $99 for 25 prompts a week on ChatGPT, with three drafts a week. Grow, at $349 or $279 billed annually, adds Gemini, Claude (beta) and AI Overviews on the first 15 prompts you add, 50 prompts three times a week, Brand Integrity and 25 drafts a month.

If you have budget for Goodie Core, you get more tracking than Stride Grow. If your ceiling is under $400 a month, Stride is the one of the two you can buy.

Which tracks more AI engines?

Goodie. Core already includes AI Mode and Copilot, which Stride doesn't track on any plan. Pro adds Gemini plus two shopping assistants, Amazon's Alexa and Walmart's Sparky, and Enterprise covers up to 13 models.

Stride's Starter tracks ChatGPT. Grow adds Gemini and Claude (beta), plus Google AI Overviews. Scale adds Perplexity and full AI Overviews. Stride does not track AI Mode, Copilot, Grok, Meta AI or DeepSeek.

Which shows what AI traffic is worth?

Both talk about revenue, and the difference is which plan gets you there. Goodie's AI analytics and attribution uses Google Analytics to identify AI referral visits, traces attributed revenue through your CRM, and models the influence of answers that never send a click. Its pricing table lists traffic attribution on Core and full revenue attribution on Enterprise.

Stride's AI traffic view connects to GA4 on every plan, including the $99 Starter, and shows sessions, conversions and revenue for each AI source. It doesn't model zero-click influence or read your CRM. It does put the revenue AI visitors brought in next to your visibility data, without an enterprise contract.

Which catches what AI gets wrong about you?

Stride, at a lower price. Brand Integrity, on Grow and up, reads what AI engines say about you, flags claims that are false or unsupported, explains which source evidence is missing and turns each one into an action item.

Goodie's Brand Command checks every claim AI makes about you against facts you set, and reports inaccuracy rate, narrative coverage and adverse citation share. It is a thorough take on the same problem, and the pricing table lists it on Enterprise.

Which is better for an online store?

Goodie, if you sell on marketplaces and have the budget. Its Agentic Commerce Suite tracks individual products in ChatGPT Shopping, Amazon Rufus, Perplexity Shopping and AI Mode shopping, connects to Shopify, BigCommerce, Google Merchant Center and Amazon Seller Central, and deploys fixes such as feed remediation and schema injection. SKU-level visibility starts on Pro.

Stride asks whether an AI shopping agent can read and buy from your store. AI Readiness crawls any site and checks it against agent-commerce protocols such as ACP, AP2, UCP, MPP and x402, on every plan, and GA4 shows whether AI visitors bought. Stride's Shopify catalog sync and product-by-product commerce readiness launch with its Shopify App Store listing, so today it doesn't track individual products.

Which is better for agencies?

Goodie's Agency Growth plan is $275 a month billed annually, or $330 billed quarterly. It includes 10 pitch workspaces a month, each running seven days on three models with 30 prompts, which is a strong way to win a prospect with their own data. Once you win, each client gets a workspace billed on a Goodie brand plan from $399 a month.

Stride Agency is a $499 monthly platform fee plus a discounted Starter, Grow or Scale plan for each client, all on one invoice. A client on Starter costs less than $99 a month, so smaller retainers stay profitable. Seats are unlimited, clients get view-only or edit logins, branding carries across the dashboard and reports, and account transfer hands a client their site and history if they leave. The agency page covers the model.

When is Goodie the better choice?

• You have $400 a month or more and want 120 prompts tracked daily on five engines.
• Your buyers use AI Mode or Copilot, or shop through Alexa and Rufus.
• You want agents that write, fix and promote content, plus strategist support.
• You sell on marketplaces and need product-level visibility in AI shopping.
• You run an agency that wins clients with pitch workspaces.

When is Stride the better choice?

• Your budget is under $400 a month and you still want drafted fixes.
• You need conversions and revenue per AI source from GA4 without an enterprise contract.
• You want false claims about your brand caught on a $349 plan.
• You run an agency with smaller clients and want per-client plans from Starter, plus account transfer.

Two quick scenarios

An ecommerce director at a consumer electronics brand. They sell on Amazon and their own site, and AI shopping assistants matter as much as ChatGPT. Goodie fits: Pro adds product-level visibility in AI shopping, its commerce suite lists Amazon Rufus and ChatGPT Shopping, and it can push feed fixes across channels.

A three-person agency serving local service businesses. Clients pay modest retainers and want proof AI search brings in work. Stride fits: each client runs on a discounted Starter or Grow plan, GA4 shows the conversions from each AI source, and a client who leaves takes their history with them.
