Analytics That Shows Which AI Assistants Send You Visitors and Sales

Sorts website visitors by the AI assistant that sent them (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) and links visits to orders.

In plain English

Traceten tells a website owner how many visitors and sales came from AI chat tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity. It looks at where each visit came from and connects it to any purchase. A newer feature asks AI tools common questions and records whether they mention your brand. One founder runs it, with a free plan and paid plans from $49 a month.

Realistic income

IndieMakerList reported in October 2026 that the founder’s X bio listed Traceten at $199 in monthly recurring revenue - about one Pro plan or four Growth plans. This figure is operator-reported, not independently verified. This is one operator’s result, often after months or years of work, and doesn’t predict yours. Check the live source — numbers change.

Risks

  • The $199/mo figure is from the founder’s X bio, quoted by a directory.
  • Big analytics platforms can add the same reports for free.
  • AI assistants do not always pass along where a visitor came from.
  • Startup cost and time to first dollar are not disclosed.

*Income figures are illustrative ranges based on public pricing and typical outcomes reported by practitioners, not guarantees. Most new online businesses earn little or nothing at first. Not financial, legal or tax advice.
