Plausible Plausible: AI Visibility Report

plausible.io ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about product analytics, Plausible ranks #7 of 15, a Visibility Score of 13 in Product Analytics .

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees Plausible

One category, one race, and Plausible is losing it.

Where it wins. Budget-conscious queries are Plausible's only foothold in Product Analytics, where it lands a 17% mention rate alongside PostHog and Umami. That niche gives it a consistent presence in cost-comparison conversations.

Where it loses. Rank 7 of 15 with zero first-pick selections tells the real story: when buyers ask which Product Analytics tool to choose outright, Plausible is never the answer. It does not appear in best-overall, enterprise, or feature-led prompts at all.
