The AthenaHQ alternative with transparent pricing and built-in tools
Superlines gives you everything AthenaHQ does — AI Search visibility tracking across all major platforms — plus API & MCP on every plan, a Schema Optimizer, Site Crawl & Audit, and prompt-based pricing you can predict.
More tools, lower price, no credit guesswork
AthenaHQ is a capable AEO and GEO platform. But credit-based pricing, Enterprise-only API access, and limited optimization tools leave gaps. Superlines fills them.
Lower starting price, more included
Superlines starts at €89/month — less than a third of AthenaHQ's regular $295/month Self-Serve plan. Even with AthenaHQ's 67%-off first-month promo ($95), Superlines delivers more built-in tools at a consistently lower price point.
API & MCP on every plan
Every Superlines plan includes full REST API access and a production-ready MCP server so you can integrate AI Search data into your workflows and AI agents. AthenaHQ reserves API access for Enterprise customers and does not offer an MCP server.
Transparent prompt-based pricing
Superlines charges per tracked prompt — you know exactly what you're paying for. AthenaHQ uses a credit-based system (3,600 credits on Self-Serve) where different actions consume different amounts of credits, making costs harder to predict.
Schema Optimizer & Site Crawl built in
Superlines includes a Schema Optimizer for structured data markup and automated Site Crawl & Audit to ensure your site is AI-ready. AthenaHQ focuses on monitoring and recommendations but doesn't offer these technical optimization tools.
LLM Keywords & AI Bot Analytics
Superlines discovers new prompt opportunities through LLM Keywords Discovery and provides AI Bot Analytics to show how AI crawlers interact with your site. These capabilities give you a unique edge that AthenaHQ doesn't offer.
7-day free trial to prove value first
Every Superlines plan includes a 7-day free trial — no credit card required. AthenaHQ offers a discounted first month ($95 instead of $295) but no free trial period to evaluate the platform risk-free.
