Oftheard vs Depra: AI visibility for India

The short answer

Choose Depra if you want the lowest rupee entry, a daily line on twenty prompts, Hinglish prompts suggested for you, and country-level markets beyond India. Choose Oftheard if you want the prompt asked from an Indian district, Google AI Mode and Claude in the set, the ChatGPT and Gemini apps rather than a mix of app and API, and a site audit whose failing checks come with the fix.

Both store the full answer and both log AI crawler visits. Depra measures daily and charts; Oftheard measures in sessions and compares one with the last. Depra says plainly which platforms it does not track; Oftheard says plainly that a session is not a daily tracker. Read both lists before choosing.

Where Depra is the better choice

Budget is ₹2,000 a month. Depra’s Starter is half Oftheard’s, for twenty prompts checked daily.
You want Hinglish prompts written for you. Depra suggests them whenever India is a market. Oftheard asks a Hindi or Hinglish prompt you type and stores the answer, but writes its panel in English registers.
Your markets include countries outside India. Depra asks from forty countries; Oftheard asks from India and its districts.
You want a daily line. Depra checks every day and sends a daily brief.

Where Oftheard is the better choice

Your buyers are in one district. Depra says it asks from inside a country, never a city. Oftheard asks from Madurai, Coimbatore or any district, and the names it gets back are the local ones.
You need Google AI Mode and Claude. Depra does not track either. Oftheard asks AI Mode on every paid plan and Claude on Growth and Agency.
You want the site audited with the fix. A hundred checks with the code to paste for each, against Depra’s crawler checker.
You want an API and MCP on every plan. Read-only access to your own data from Claude Code or a script, on Free too.

What each costs for a brand in India

Depra is ₹1,999 a month plus GST for twenty prompts on four platforms daily, ₹7,499 for a hundred prompts, and ₹12,499 for a hundred and eighty across twenty-five projects. Oftheard Starter is ₹3,999 for three sessions a month on five engines with up to fifty prompts each, whole-site checks and the plan; Growth ₹9,999 for eight sessions on six engines with the crawler sensor. Per prompt, Depra’s daily checks are the larger volume; per answer, Oftheard’s carry the district, the app, the sources and the stance.

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. Depra 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

Which asks from an Indian city?

Oftheard. A prompt can be pinned to any state or district in India, and the engines that take a location are asked from there. Depra’s own page says a prompt is asked from inside a country, never a city.

Which tracks Claude and Google AI Mode?

Oftheard asks Google AI Mode on every paid plan and Claude on Growth and Agency. Depra lists Claude, Copilot, AI Mode, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI as platforms it does not track.

Both are Indian. What is the real difference?

Cadence and depth. Depra is a daily tracker with Hinglish prompts and a crawler checker at a low price. Oftheard is a session-based measurement from the district, on six engines, with a hundred-check audit, the fix for each check and an action plan, at a higher entry price.
