Aeonav vs OpenSight
Aeonav and OpenSight are both open-source AI visibility tools you can self-host and audit. Aeonav's focus is transparent, independently verifiable tracking across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — with white-label support for agencies and a documented methodology behind every number.
The short version
OpenSight doesn't list Google AI Mode, Gemini, or Claude among its engines and has no MCP server or sentiment analysis. Aeonav has all of that, and it's free to self-host.
OpenSight appears to be a very early-stage product with limited adoption.
Aeonav
Open-source AEO platform. Self-host for free, forever. Track AI visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI Overviews with full transparency.
OpenSight
MIT-licensed AI visibility tracker with a free hosted tier

Why choose Aeonav over OpenSight?
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.
Self-host for free, forever
Run Aeonav on your own infrastructure. The core platform is free and always will be, and Aeonav Cloud is there if you would rather not run it yourself.
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.
