About MoltMentions:
why we're building it.AI visibility for every brand, at rock-bottom prices.
MoltMentions is an AI visibility API from ThriveStack.ai. We built it so any brand or agency can find out why AI search isn't citing them, ask Claude, ChatGPT or any other LLM, and pay rock-bottom prices with no strings attached.
“It's time for the AI search industry to molt. Every brand deserves to know why AI isn't citing them, at rock-bottom prices, with no strings attached.”
- AI search is exploding. Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity before they ever visit a website. Every brand and every agency has to cope with that, starting now.
- Teams want answers, not another dashboard. People are leaving rigid SaaS screens behind. They ask Claude or ChatGPT a question and get informed in seconds, so the data has to live where they already work.
- AI visibility has been priced out of reach. Profound, Peec, Searchable and 300 others put the same basic question behind tiered plans. Knowing what AI says about your brand shouldn't need a subscription, worse yet an enterprise contract.
- It's time to shed the old leaves. That's the molt in MoltMentions. We want every brand to find out why it isn't visible, at rock-bottom prices, with no strings attached.

Google AI Mode and ChatGPT are the new search. But brand tracking tools are very expensive, and most are still stuck on rankings.
Buyers ask AI before they reach your site, but most tools that track brand mentions in AI still measure rank, behind tiered plans and a dashboard you didn’t ask for. MoltMentions gives every tool builder and brand marketing team the raw answers, sources and citations, on pay-as-you-go credits, with no strings attached.
