### Open source and transparent

Every line of code is open. You can verify exactly how your visibility data is collected, calculated, and presented. No black boxes.

### Your data, in your stack

Pull every metric, sentiment included, into your own code with the REST API and TypeScript and Python SDKs, or ask Claude Code and Cursor about it over MCP. Export, fork, or migrate at any time.

### Built to last

Bootstrapped and sustainable. No investors pushing towards dark patterns. We'll outlast the companies taking too much VC money.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- What is the difference between Aeonav and Finseo?

  Aeonav is an open-source, self-hostable AI visibility platform, while Finseo is a closed-source AI visibility tracking tool.

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

  Yes. Aeonav is a free, open-source alternative to Finseo. 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.
