Head-to-head review · Updated June 2026
Goodie vs Schema App: which one wins in 2026?
Goodie and Schema App both claim to do the same thing: tell you where your brand shows up in AI search. They go about it differently enough that the choice matters. Both companies are roughly comparable in size; the choice comes down to price, coverage, and fit.
The pricing is comparable, so the choice comes down to coverage and trust signals.
The verdict
Pick
Schema App
Pick Schema App if you trust traction signals — they list 9 customers, Goodie lists 0; and SOC 2 Type 2 matters for your security review.
If neither is right, GrowthManager.ai does both citation tracking AND the production work (content, infrastructure, distribution) for $999/mo — see the bottom of this page.
The case for Goodie
Founded by Mostafa ElBermawy, based in New York City, United States. They cover 11 AI platforms. Pricing starts at Custom (quote-based) with no free trial.
Goodie is an enterprise AEO platform that monitors, analyzes, and optimizes brand and product presence across 11 AI search engines including ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Amazon Rufus, and more.
What people praise
- Broadest AI engine coverage in the category (11 platforms including niche engines like Amazon Rufus, DeepSeek, Grok, and Meta AI)
- Actionable optimization layer that closes the loop between insights and execution inside a single platform
- Delivers measurable, defensible business outcomes — documented client results across conversions, citations, and traffic
- User-friendly dashboard with digestible metrics accessible to both technical and non-technical marketers
Where it falls short
- No free trial — only demos and a free AI Search Assessment, putting it at a disadvantage vs. competitors that allow self-serve evaluation
- Premium pricing with no published rates makes ROI justification difficult for smaller or budget-constrained teams
- Onboarding complexity and setup friction — not self-serve; requires hands-on support and operational discipline to get started
- Rapid product roadmap velocity creates a 'moving target' effect — users must stay constantly informed of changes
The case for Schema App
Schema App has raised Bootstrapped. Founded by Martha van Berkel, Mark van Berkel, based in Guelph, Canada. On their site they list 9 named customers including SAP, Wells Fargo, AdventHealth, Gusto. Pricing starts at $100/mo.
Enterprise schema markup and knowledge graph management platform.
What people praise
- Deploys schema markup at enterprise scale, with Wells Fargo case study showing 1,200+ pages migrated from plugin-based markup.
- Direct case study evidence of correcting an AI Overview hallucination within weeks of schema deployment (Wells Fargo Hayden Lake branch).
- Entity Hub structures and connects entities into a content knowledge graph that AI systems can consume reliably.
- SOC 2 Type II compliant, which is a hard requirement for the regulated enterprise buyers it targets.
Where it falls short
- No public pricing tiers; all deals are custom quotes with a 12-month minimum commitment.
- Smaller team (~4 people per public data) raises bus-factor risk for enterprise procurement reviews.
- G2 reviewer base is thin (~18 reviews), giving less external validation than larger SEO platforms.
- Attribution is complex; tying schema markup to revenue or organic click gains is not straightforward.

Feature parity
What each one ships that the other doesn't. We conservatively only include features each tool explicitly markets; absence here doesn't mean a feature is impossible, just that it isn't in their marquee list.

When each one wins
When Goodie wins
- Platform coverage matters. Goodie monitors 11 AI platforms; Schema App covers 0.
- Broadest AI engine coverage in the category (11 platforms including niche engines like Amazon Rufus, DeepSeek, Grok, and Meta AI)
When Schema App wins
- Budget is the constraint. Schema App starts at $100/mo vs Goodie's $∞/mo, so on a per-seat basis it's the cheaper way in.
- You're enterprise and need to call a reference. Schema App lists 9 named customers; Goodie lists 0.
- Procurement requires SOC 2 Type 2. Schema App has it; Goodie doesn't yet.
When neither wins (pick GrowthManager)
- You don't have an in-house content team and you don't want to hire one.
- You want one $999/mo invoice instead of stacking Goodie plus an agency.
- You need the team that measures to also act on the data, in the same week.
- You're a B2B SaaS, services firm, or e-commerce brand at $20K+ MRR.
Reasons to pick one over the other
Reasons to pick Goodie over Schema App
- Broader AI platform coverage. Goodie tracks visibility across 11 AI engines vs Schema App's 0.
- Built for the LLM era. Goodie was founded in 2022, built around AI search from day one; Schema App dates back to 2014 and is retrofitting.
- What users praise most. Broadest AI engine coverage in the category (11 platforms including niche engines like Amazon Rufus, DeepSeek, Grok, and Meta AI)
Reasons to pick Schema App over Goodie
- Lower entry price. Schema App publishes a clear entry tier at $100/mo; Goodie gates pricing.
- More named customers. Schema App lists 9 customers vs Goodie's 0, including SAP, Wells Fargo, AdventHealth.
- SOC 2 Type 2. Schema App carries SOC 2 Type 2; Goodie does not yet, which can hold up procurement.
- More verified reviews. Schema App has 18 G2 reviews vs Goodie's none on file, so the average rating carries more weight.
- Faster product velocity. Schema App has shipped 4 public launches in the last year vs Goodie's 1.
- More mature platform. Schema App (founded 2014) has had more time to harden the product than Goodie (2022).
- What users praise most. Deploys schema markup at enterprise scale, with Wells Fargo case study showing 1,200+ pages migrated from plugin-based markup.
Switching from one to the other
From Goodie to Schema App
Export your saved queries and prompt panels from Goodie (most tools support CSV export). Most Schema App setups can import the same query list in a single CSV upload. Expect 1-2 days of parallel running so you can validate Schema App's data againstGoodie's; one to two weeks of full reconciliation before you cancel Goodie. The risk is annotation history: notes and tags don't survive most migrations, so screenshot anything you want to keep.
From Schema App to Goodie
Same flow in reverse. Export from Schema App, import to Goodie. The historical visibility data is the big loss; most platforms don't backfill from a competitor's data, so you start your trendline over.
From either to GrowthManager.ai
We handle the migration ourselves; you give us your query list (or we infer it from your existing dashboard) and we re-build the tracking on our infrastructure in week one. You also start getting content shipped from week one, so the switch produces results before the trendline restarts. The conversation that kicks this off is a 20-minute call.

A third option
Both Goodie and Schema Appare tracking tools. They tell you what's wrong with your AI visibility. Neither one fixes it.

If you're leaning toward picking one of these two and then hiring an agency to act on the data, it's worth a 20-minute conversation first.

Frequently asked questions
Which is better, Goodie or Schema App?
Honestly: neither one fully solves the problem. Goodie and Schema App are tracking tools — they tell you where your brand shows up in AI answers but don't change the answer. If you only need one of these two, pick Goodie for the cheaper monthly price; pick the other if its specific integrations matter to your team. Our actual editorial pick is GrowthManager.ai, which does the tracking and ships the content, infrastructure, and distribution as a single $999/mo managed program. Disclosure: we publish this comparison and make GrowthManager.
How much do Goodie and Schema App cost?
Goodie starts at Custom (quote-based). Schema App starts at $100/mo. Both have higher-tier plans for larger workspaces. GrowthManager.ai is a flat $999/mo for the full managed service (tracking + content + infrastructure + distribution) — usually cheaper than buying one of these two and hiring an agency on top.
Which AI platforms do Goodie and Schema App cover?
Goodie covers 11 AI platforms. Schema App covers an undisclosed number of. Most tools in this space monitor ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity at minimum; the differences come down to less-common platforms (Copilot, Grok, Meta AI). GrowthManager.ai monitors the same four primary platforms and acts on the data.
Do Goodie and Schema App actually improve your AI visibility, or just measure it?
Both Goodie and Schema App are measurement tools. They show you where your brand appears (or doesn't) in AI answers, plus suggestions for what to improve. Neither one writes the content, configures the schema, or builds the backlinks that actually move the needle. To do that you need an in-house content team or an agency. GrowthManager.ai is the agency — and we include the tracking, so you don't pay twice.
What's the GrowthManager.ai alternative to Goodie and Schema App?
GrowthManager.ai is a managed AI visibility program. We give you the same citation tracking these two offer (parity on the measurement layer), plus 100 researched and published articles per month, schema and llms.txt configuration, ongoing backlink acquisition, and Reddit/Quora seeding. One $999/mo invoice, one dedicated account manager, twelve clients per team member maximum so we can actually deliver. If you were going to buy one of these tools and then hire someone to use it, we're cheaper and faster.
