As of August 2026, Catchy's main pages do not mention AEO, GEO, or AI search as a service; AI shows up in its research reports. Literally.dev leads with AEO and measures it on our own pipeline.

A Catchy alternative for devtool and tech companies

Literally.dev vs Catchy

Q: How much does Catchy cost?

Catchy does not publish pricing or terms as of August 2026. Literally.dev publishes its price: $4,990 a month with a 3-month minimum.

Q: Is Catchy right for a startup?

Catchy's client list is mostly large enterprises and it sells full programs. Literally.dev is built for funded devtool and tech companies with a head of marketing and a budget around $5K a month.

Q: Who writes the content?

Catchy's site describes strategy, creative, and delivery teams but does not say who writes or whether they are engineers. Literally.dev matches every piece to a hand-vetted engineer from the top 2.7% of our experts.

Q: Should we build an in-house AEO team or hire an agency?

An in-house hire gives you one generalist. An agency gives you a team, the tooling, and the publication network on day one. The people best qualified to write technical content are engineers, and most of them would rather build product. We bring the engineers, measure where AI ranks you, and place the content where AI assistants read. You keep your team on the product.

Q: Self-serve AEO tools or a full-service agency?

A self-serve tool shows you where you stand. It does not write the content, get it published, or get it cited. We run our own measurement pipeline and pair it with engineer-written content and distribution, then re-measure at day 85 so you see what moved. If you already have writers and distribution, a tool may be enough. If you need the work done, you need the agency.

Pick Catchy for a full-service enterprise program. Pick Literally.dev if you are a funded devtool that wants to show up in AI answers.

Literally.dev

Literally.dev is a specialist: engineers write the content, we distribute it, and our own pipeline measures AI visibility, for $4,990 a month.
