The short answer
Choose AITLAS if you sell on Shiprocket or want the pages written and pushed to your CMS as well as measured, and a ₹999 entry or a free plan to start. Choose Oftheard if you want six engines asked from an Indian district in every session, the ChatGPT and Gemini apps rather than two platforms per plan, a hundred-check audit with the fix for each, and your own writers acting on a plan.
The two count differently. AITLAS sells scans: a free plan with three, Starter with five a month, each on a set number of prompts across two platforms. Oftheard sells sessions: three a month on Starter, each on up to fifty prompts across five engines. Compare answers per month, not the headline price.

Where AITLAS is the better choice
- You want the content written and published for you. AITLAS’s content engine drafts articles and pushes them into the CMS; the managed plans add outreach.
- You are on Shiprocket already. Same company, same account.
- You want to start free or at ₹999. Three scans on the free plan show the shape of the answers before any card.
- You want Hindi content written. The Advance managed plan includes it, at ₹89,999 a month.
Where Oftheard is the better choice
- You want every engine in every session. Five on Starter and six on Growth, against two platforms per AITLAS plan.
- You want the district, not the country. AITLAS does not say where a prompt is asked from. Oftheard asks from the state or district you name.
- You want to know why. Every answer is stored whole with the pages the engine read and the sentence that named a rival, so the plan says which page to write and where to be listed.
- You want the site fixed, not only written for. The hundred checks and the code to paste for each failing one.
What each costs for a brand in India
AITLAS Starter is ₹999 a month plus GST for five scans of twenty prompts on two platforms, about two hundred answers a month; Growth ₹4,999 for ten scans of fifty prompts, a thousand answers. Oftheard Starter is ₹3,999 for three sessions of up to fifty prompts on five engines, seven hundred and fifty answers, with whole-site checks and the plan; Growth ₹9,999 for eight sessions on six engines, two thousand four hundred answers, with the crawler sensor. On answers per rupee they are close; on engines per answer and the audit, Oftheard; on content written for you, AITLAS.
How to decide
- Write down the country your buyers are in and whether you need a city or district. If the answer is India and a district, that decides it.
- Count how often you will actually read the numbers. A daily tracker you open monthly is a session a month at a daily price.
- Run the free check on both. AITLAS has its own free entry; Oftheard’s free plan runs the hundred checks and ten prompts on Gemini, no card.
- Read one full answer from each. The tool that shows you the sentence that named a rival, and the page it read, is the one you can act on.
Claims about the other tool are from its public pages on 26 September 2026: pricing, product, sitemap, robots.txt and llms.txt. Prices and features change; check the vendor before deciding.
Questions
Is AITLAS free?
There is a ₹0 plan with three scans of fifteen prompts on two platforms and two competitors. Oftheard’s free plan runs the hundred-check audit on your homepage four times a month and ten prompts on Gemini once a cycle, with the answers stored.
How many platforms does each ask?
AITLAS names six on its home page and covers two per self-serve plan, three on the top managed plan. Oftheard asks five engines on Starter and six on Growth and Agency, in every session.
Does either write the content?
AITLAS does: its content engine drafts articles and pushes them to your CMS, and the managed plans add outreach. Oftheard does not write pages; it tells you which page to write, which site to be on and which check to fix, with the code to paste for the fix.
