Zene vs Goodie AI
Goodie AI is an AEO platform owned by the agency NoGood. Its May 2026 "Goodie 2.0" release rebuilt the product around function-specific agents for writing, optimization and technical repair, and it lists brands such as Dermalogica, SteelSeries and Rathbones as customers. If you're comparing it with Zene, both track whether AI engines mention your brand, at very different price points.
In one line: Goodie is an agent-driven platform with commerce and revenue features, Zene is a low-cost tracker that drafts the fixes. Goodie's entry Core plan starts at $399 a month. Zene starts free and, on Pro, covers five engines and turns each gap into a prioritized action with drafts and outreach targets.
Choose Zene if…
- You want a free plan with no card, then Pro at $19/mo instead of $399/mo
- You want Claude, Gemini and Grok without an Enterprise or $999 contract - Goodie adds Gemini on Pro and Claude and Grok on Enterprise
- You track several brands - Growth covers 5 brands and 40 questions shared across them for $49/mo; Goodie Core is 1 brand
- You want drafts (brief, FAQ, schema, llms.txt) and an outreach list without a sales call
Choose Goodie AI if…
- Google AI Overviews, AI Mode and Copilot matter to you - they're in Goodie Core; Zene doesn't track them yet
- You sell on retail AI surfaces and want Alexa, Walmart Sparky and SKU-level commerce visibility (Goodie Pro)
- You want writer and technical-repair agents and prompt research with AI search volume
- You want more prompts per brand - Core tracks 120 and Pro 250; Zene's largest plan tracks 75 questions
- You want revenue attribution and alerts when AI misrepresents your brand

Where Goodie is stronger
Breadth of surfaces and depth of automation. Goodie Core already tracks Google AI Overviews, AI Mode and Copilot, which Zene doesn't, and Pro reaches retail AI assistants such as Alexa and Walmart Sparky with SKU-level commerce visibility. Its agents go beyond drafting into writing and technical repair, it attaches AI search volume to prompts, it ships an MCP server on Core, and it ties AI visibility to revenue. Brand Command alerts you when AI misrepresents your brand.
Where Zene is different
Zene is built for teams that won't start at $399 a month. The free plan needs no card, and Pro includes Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok, which Goodie reserves for its Pro and Enterprise tiers. On Pro, every scan ends in a prioritized action plan with drafts - a content brief, FAQ copy, schema JSON-LD and an llms.txt - plus a list of cited sources to pitch. Every plan includes a first-party AI-referral snippet and AI-crawler log drains (Vercel, Cloudflare, JSON).
Pricing
Zene: Free, Pro $19/month, Growth $49/month, Agency $99/month ($190/$490/$990 yearly), in USD. Goodie lists Core at $399 a month with a 7-day trial, Pro at $999, custom Enterprise, and an Agency Growth plan at $275 a month for pitch workspaces (per its pricing page). Core is the only plan you can start without talking to sales.
How to choose
If you need Google's AI surfaces, retail assistants, agents that write and repair, and revenue attribution, Goodie is the stronger platform and priced for it. If you want to see where you stand on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok and get the fixes drafted on a small budget, start with Zene.
