# Competitors

Competitors is available on select plans.

The **Competitors** tab shows who wins AI answers in your space and how you compare. Competitors are **auto-discovered** from your tracked prompts; you can also add your own.

## The leaderboard

A single ranked table with your brand pinned to the top (highlighted, badged **You**). Use **Add competitor** to track a brand by name and domain, and the **star** on any row to track or untrack an auto-discovered brand. (Competitors uses a fixed 30-day window.)

Sortable columns:

| Column               | Meaning                                                                |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Visibility**       | How often the brand appears in AI answers across your tracked prompts. |
| **Average position** | Its average position among brands mentioned. Lower is better.          |
| **Citations**        | Its share of citations vs. all brands cited.                           |
| **Appears in**       | How many of your tracked prompts it appeared in.                       |

## Competitor detail

The competitor detail page compares one brand against you head-to-head:

* **Scorecards** — Visibility Score, Visibility rank, Average position, and Citation share, each shown vs. your brand.
* **Visibility trend** — daily visibility for the competitor vs. you over 30 days.
* **Engine split** — how the comparison breaks down per AI engine.
* **Threat prompts** — prompts where the competitor lands in the top 3 and you rank below or are absent (your biggest gaps).
* **Citation advantage** — pages cited in answers that mention them but not you (outreach candidates).
* **Fan-out advantage** — fan-out searches where they rank in Google's top 3 and you don't.
