The short answer

AirOps or RankRush: which should you choose?

We only list a check as a win when one tool scores higher and the other tool's answer is documented. Ties and gaps in AirOps's public docs are left out.

Choose AirOps if you need

  • proof that each fix worked Campaign Measurement compares citation rate, mention rate, share of voice, sentiment and GSC/GA4 traffic before and after published or tracked content updates. A Prompt Change Log adds chart annotations.
  • AI crawler analytics Agent Analytics reads CDN logs (Cloudflare Logpush/Worker, CloudFront, Netlify, Vercel). It separates training crawls (GPTBot, ClaudeBot) from web-search crawls and AI agent visits, with no script needed.
  • AI traffic and revenue attribution GA4 connection enriches Pages with traffic, engagement and selected conversions. Agent Analytics counts AI-assistant visits. ChatGPT Ads spend can be reported too.
  • more AI engines on the entry plan ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Grok (analytics docs list 8). Billing and API docs list only 6 (no Copilot or Grok), so those two may be new or limited. Solo = ChatGPT only. Pro = '7+ answer engines'. Claude depends on plan and costs 4 billing units per answer. Enterprise by default per API docs.
  • a published scoring method Publishes metric formulas (mention rate, SoV, citation rate, sentiment = positive + half neutral over mentions, average position) and the sampling: one answer per prompt per platform per day, multi-run on Enterprise. Collection method not disclosed.
  • agency and white-label features Multiple Brand Kits (Solo/Pro get 1, Enterprise unlimited) can serve several clients on Enterprise. No white-label reporting found.
  • broad integrations GSC, GA4, Looker Studio connector. CMSs: WordPress, Webflow, Contentful, Sanity, HubSpot CMS, Craft, Strapi, Builder.io.

  • team seats Solo: single user. Pro and Enterprise: unlimited seats.

Choose RankRush if you need

  • an AI-readiness site audit The website audit crawls your site and checks robots.txt, llms.txt, schema and crawlability, around 120 checks across five stages.
  • self-serve setup with same-day data Self-serve signup. Onboarding generates your keywords and runs the first scan automatically. 14-day free trial on Starter and Pro.
  • public pricing and a trial Public pricing from €59 to €1,899 a month, about 20% off yearly. 14-day free trial on Starter and Pro.

How we scored AirOps

We checked AirOps's pricing page, docs, help center and changelog on 23 to 24 September 2026 against 24 checks. Outcome checks count double because a tool that tracks but never helps you rank is a report, not a fix. AirOps ranks #13 of 45.

RankRush was scored from its own product code, strictly, and ranks #21. Competitors were scored from their public marketing and docs, which tends to flatter them slightly. A Yes often means "on some plan", plan gating is in the notes.
