Bear AI alternatives

Bear AI is no longer available as an AI visibility tool. Pivoted away from AI visibility to building workflow datasets for AI labs and agent builders. If you are moving off it, Echo is the open-source alternative: a free, self-hostable AI visibility platform that can't be shut down or sold out from under you, because the code is yours to keep running.

Echo: the open-source alternative

Echo tracks how ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews mention and cite your brand. It is open source, so you self-host it for free, keep your data in-house, and verify exactly how each metric is calculated. No per-seat pricing, no black-box scores, no lock-in.
