AthenaHQ GEO Tool Alternative
Athena and Chosenly are great! Both have features most other tools lack like: Automated content creation & listicle outreach. Chosenly's plan starts at $400. Athena's plan's start at $295, but you'll need to upgrade to higher tiers to really make use of Athena. So they're also priced similarly.
Chosenly helps LLMs pick you over competition by helping you tweak your positioning, which Athena doesn't.
You only get dedicatd support in Athena's enterprise plans, whereas even the lowest plans of Chosenly get that.
Athena suggests base prompts or seed phrases based on domain, but that’s exactly where most people get stuck. But there is not much help to know what’s worth tracking? What will actually move the needle?
At Chosenly, we’ve spent a lot of time making sure you only track what truly matters (BoFU prompts). We help you focus on the right prompts, topics, and signals that actually impact your business, not just the ones that look good on a report.
Athena provides frequent tracking of the prompts, which should take care of the statistical significance of the data. Chosenly handles statistical significance by running the variation of the prompts.

Factor 2 : What should I do? (Insights)
To make sure your brand gets considered to be recommended, it needs to be mentioned in the URLs LLMs use to generate the answers. For this, either you can create the content that LLMs refer to, or you can get mentioned in the 3rd-party URLs being cited today.
For content creation, Athena just gives you a dump of stats on the prompts you want to track, without making it clear what to do with it. Chosenly helps you prioritize what to create, gives you content briefs based on top cited pages, and creates the first draft of the page for you.

LLMs take decisions on who to recommend based on (1) what they believe a good company looks like, (2) what companies in your space highlight about yourself, and (3) the criteria the buyer adds to the prompt.
Athena doesn't support this. Chosenly helps find this information, shows where you're weak/strong, and helps you win each criteria.

Factor 3: How easy is it to do the work? (Execution)
The GEO/AEO space is still so new that most teams don’t have dedicated resources for it yet. So once you know what to do, most teams struggle to get the work done.
Both Athena & Chosenly do a good job, but Chosenly has a slight edge, as the priority action items and content creation are B2B focused, so they would work best for the B2B industry.
