# Aeonav vs Brantial

Aeonav is an open-source, self-hostable alternative to Brantial, an AI visibility tracking tool. Both measure how AI answer engines describe your brand, but Aeonav ships every line of code, runs on your own infrastructure, and is free to self-host — so your data stays yours and each metric is independently verifiable.

The short version

Brantial doesn't list Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, or Microsoft Copilot among its engines. Aeonav has all of that, and it's free to self-host.

Brantial appears to be a very early-stage product with limited adoption.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- What is the difference between Aeonav and Brantial?

  Aeonav is an open-source, self-hostable AI visibility platform, while Brantial is a closed-source AI visibility tracking tool. Both track how AI answer engines describe your brand, but Aeonav gives you the full source code and runs on your own infrastructure, so you can verify every metric and keep your data in-house.

- Is Aeonav a free, open-source alternative to Brantial?

  Yes. Aeonav is a free, open-source alternative to Brantial. You can self-host the full platform at no cost, read every line of code, and track your AI visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews without per-seat or per-prompt fees.

- Is Brantial open source?

  No, Brantial is a hosted product without public source code. Aeonav is fully open source, so you can read how each metric is calculated, self-host it on your own infrastructure, and take your data with you.

- How do Aeonav and Brantial compare on sentiment analysis, API access, and MCP?

  Aeonav includes all three: a 0 to 100 sentiment score for every AI answer that mentions you, a REST API with TypeScript and Python SDKs, and an MCP server so assistants like Claude Code and Cursor can query your data. Brantial offers all three as well.
