Lantern tells your agents what to do. Limy tells you what agents did.
Limy is impressive infrastructure — it watches real AI agents crawl your domain and tells you exactly what to fix. The gap: your team still has to do all the fixing. Lantern's agents do it for you.
Limy's CDN-layer data is genuinely differentiated — knowing which prompts sent real AI agents to your domain is powerful intelligence. The gap is that every recommendation still lands as a task on someone's plate.
How Lantern fixes this
Lantern agents pick up where the insight ends. When a gap is identified, they generate the content and publish the fix — no brief, no sprint, no to-do list.
Infrastructure-layer tooling is built for technical teams with the capacity to interpret bot-behavior data and translate it into content action. Most marketing and growth teams don't have that capacity — and shouldn't need it.
How Lantern fixes this
Lantern is built for marketers. It connects in minutes, requires no technical expertise, and agents act on gaps automatically.
Limy is focused exclusively on the agentic web. Teams that still need to manage Google search alongside AI visibility end up running two separate toolsets — doubling the complexity and cost.
How Lantern fixes this
Lantern unifies AI search monitoring and traditional SEO in a single platform — site audit, Search Console, GA, and AI citation tracking all in one place.
Lantern
Real-time monitoring across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. Alerts fire when visibility drops, a competitor appears, or sentiment shifts.
Limy
Limy operates at the CDN/infrastructure layer — it detects real AI agents and bots crawling your actual domain rather than simulating queries. This gives it a unique signal: what AI systems actually fetch from your site, which prompts sent them, and how they behave. Seven-plus engines including DeepSeek and Microsoft Copilot.
Lantern
Agents run continuously — scanning for gaps, generating AI-optimized content, and deploying it to your CMS. No manual steps unless you want approval gates.
Limy
Limy provides step-by-step optimization recommendations through its Narrative and Perception management modules. Acting on those recommendations is done by your team — there is no auto-publishing or content generation capability.
Lantern
Install a lightweight script or integrate via Cloudflare or Vercel. Track which AI engine sent the visitor, which prompt drove it, and whether they converted — revenue tied directly to AI search.
Limy
Limy's attribution is one of its strongest features — the Analytics Pixel connects specific prompts to agent visits to downstream purchases. Deep, proprietary attribution built for enterprise reporting requirements.
Lantern
7-day free trial requiring no credit card or sales call. Transparent pricing for marketing teams who want monitoring, content, and attribution in one platform.
Limy
Limy starts at $449/month with no free trial, tiered by company size with enterprise pricing for larger organisations. Backed by $10M from Flybridge and a16z speedrun, serving Fortune 100 clients including AstraZeneca, Samsung, and KIA.
