Chrome extension for SEO & marketing teams

See if AI search cites you — and who it cites instead

Open any AI answer — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini — and AnswerGap shows the sources it cited, whether you're one of them, and which competitors got cited when you didn't.

AnswerGap showing which sources an AI answer cited, whether you're one of them, and your competitor citation gap

Ranking on Google ≠ getting cited by AI

AI answers pick their own sources. AnswerGap shows you which — and what to change so it's you.

Who AI actually cites

Reads the answer in front of you and extracts the real sources — across AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini.

Your citation gap

See exactly which competitors get cited for a query when you don't — the gap you need to close.

One-click AI-readiness audit

On any page, get a 0–100 score for how citable it is to AI, with issues ranked by impact.

{ }

Fixes, not just a score

Step-by-step fixes plus copy-paste JSON-LD schema, so you can act on the audit immediately. (Pro)

Works on the live answer

No crawler, no setup, no prompt lists to configure. It reads the answer you're already looking at.

🔒

Private by design

Runs only when you click the icon. Pages are analyzed locally and never leave your browser.

Three steps

Built to be trusted

An honest, privacy-first tool from an independent developer — every claim here is verifiable.

Made by an indie dev

Built and maintained by Vietcodex, a solo developer shipping privacy-first browser extensions — TailGrab, ScriptDrag and StepRecorder. No VC, no ads, no telemetry.

🔑

Minimal permissions

Requests only activeTab, scripting, storage and alarms (alarms powers the scheduled re-check you configure). Desktop notifications are optional and opt-in. Host access to api.openai.com and api.perplexity.ai is optional too — requested only if you turn on bring-your-own-key, which calls your own AI provider with your own key. Check it yourself on the store listing.

🔒

Audits run locally

Pages are analyzed in your browser and never uploaded to us. The only call to us is a periodic license check for Pro; any bring-your-own-key request goes from your browser straight to your chosen provider — no analytics SDK, no remote code.

🔁

Actively maintained

Kept working against Chrome browser updates and the AI answer surfaces it reads. Pro includes lifetime updates. Last updated July 2026.

💳

Secure one-time payment

Checkout is handled by Paddle, our Merchant of Record — your card details never touch our servers and sales tax/VAT is handled for you. $129 once, no subscription.

Frequently asked questions

Is AnswerGap free?

Yes. The Free tier gives you 5 checks per day — the cited sources for an AI answer, whether you're one of them, and an AI-readiness score with the top issues — with no login. Pro ($129 one-time) adds unlimited checks, the full audit with step-by-step fixes, a JSON-LD schema generator, the competitor citation-gap breakdown, lifetime updates and 3 devices.

Which AI answers does it work on?

AnswerGap reads the AI answer you're already looking at — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini — and extracts the real sources it cited. No crawler and no prompt lists to configure.

Do I need an account or login?

No. AnswerGap is a browser extension with no sign-up. It runs only when you click the icon, and everything stays on your device.

Does my data leave my machine?

No. Audits run locally in your browser and pages are never uploaded to us. The only call to us is a periodic license check for Pro. If you turn on bring-your-own-key, AnswerGap calls your own AI provider (OpenAI or Perplexity) directly with your own key — that request goes from your browser to your chosen provider, not through us.

What is the AI-readiness audit?

On any page you get a 0–100 score for how citable it is to AI, with issues ranked by impact. Pro adds step-by-step fixes and copy-paste JSON-LD schema so you can act on the audit right away.

What permissions does it need?

Only activeTab, scripting, storage and alarms (alarms powers the scheduled re-check you configure). Desktop notifications are optional and opt-in. Host access to api.openai.com and api.perplexity.ai is optional too — requested only if you enable bring-your-own-key, which calls your own AI provider with your own key.

Which browsers does it support?

AnswerGap is live now on the Chrome Web Store. Edge and Firefox builds are coming soon — see the install section above for the live store link.

Can I move my Pro license to a new device?

Yes. Your Pro license activates on up to 3 devices. To move it to a new machine, email [email protected] with your Paddle receipt and we'll free up a seat.
