KIME vs AirOps at a glance

What each platform is

AirOps is a content engineering platform. Its workflows research, write, publish, review and refresh content, and its Insights module tracks visibility, citations and sentiment across answer engines. It also sells expert services and raised a $40M Series B led by Greylock in November 2025.

KIME is a GEO platform from Copenhagen used by more than 400 marketing teams. It tracks your prompts daily across up to 10 AI engines, explains how each model sees your brand in AI Perception, and executes the work through AWX. It also builds and runs ChatGPT ad campaigns.

1. Pricing

AirOps plans

AirOps does not publish prices. Plans are priced on task volume:

• Solo: ChatGPT insights only, single user, 100 tracked prompts and pages

• Pro: insights across 10+ answer engines, unlimited seats, 250 tracked prompts and pages

• Enterprise: custom limits, SSO, SOC 2 Type II, dedicated account manager

KIME plans

• Explorer: €99/mo. 50 prompts, 2 AI engines, 5 seats, 10 AWX executions

• Core: €399/mo. 200 prompts, 3 AI engines, 10 seats, 30 AWX executions

• Agency Starter: €499/mo. 200 prompts, unlimited client and pitch workspaces

• Enterprise: custom. All 10 engines

• 7-day free trial on Explorer and Core, no sales call. 15% off with annual billing

With AirOps you need a sales conversation to get a price. With KIME you can see the price and start a trial the same day.

2. AI engine coverage

AirOps lists "10+ answer engines" on Pro; its documentation names nine and says Claude and Muse Spark depend on plan. KIME Explorer and Core let you pick 2 or 3 engines from the first seven.

3. A content engine vs a visibility platform

AirOps says it plainly: visibility tools tell you where you show up, AirOps tells you what to do about it. Its strength is the content machine: Grids and Workflows that run research, writing and refreshes across hundreds of pages, with Brand Kits and Knowledge Bases to keep the voice consistent. KIME's strength is the measurement and what follows from it: daily tracking per market, AI Perception's eight sentiment drivers, citation analysis and a competitor dashboard, then AWX to write, fix and pitch, and Ads Manager to buy ChatGPT ads where organic visibility is missing.

4. Where AirOps is genuinely ahead

• Content production at scale with Grids, Workflows and Power Agents

• CMS publishing to Webflow, WordPress, Contentful, Shopify and Sanity, with Drupal and Prismic on Enterprise

• AI crawler analytics from CDN logs (Cloudflare, CloudFront, Netlify, Vercel). KIME has no crawler analytics

• Unlimited seats on Pro and Enterprise

• Enterprise readiness: SOC 2 Type II and SSO. KIME publishes no compliance posture

• Reviews and funding: 4.7 from 134 reviews on G2 and a $40M Series B

5. Where KIME is ahead

• Published pricing and a self-serve trial

• Engine choice from the entry plan. AirOps Solo covers ChatGPT only

• Measurement depth: AI Perception with eight named drivers, citation analysis and a competitor dashboard on every plan

• ChatGPT ads on every plan: Campaign Builder, Ads Manager and an ads library across AI engines

• AI Shopping: which products AI engines recommend, from which retailer and at what price

• Unlimited countries and languages on every plan

Summary comparison

When to choose AirOps

• Content production is your main bottleneck

• You publish and refresh many pages a month across several CMSs

• You want expert services alongside the software

• You need SOC 2 and SSO from day one

When to choose KIME

• You need to know where you stand in AI answers, per engine and per market

• You want execution included without a content operations budget

• You want to run ChatGPT ads

• You want a published price and a trial you can start today

KIME is younger, has fewer reviews and publishes no compliance posture. If those matter most, weigh them.

The complementary case

This is the pair where running both can make sense: KIME to find where you are missing in AI answers, AirOps to produce content at volume. Many teams do not need both, because AWX also produces content. The test: if your constraint is output volume, choose AirOps. If it is knowing what to fix and fixing it, choose KIME.
