The vendor names Google Cloud, OpenAI and IBM Watson as technology behind its recommendations; ask which content leaves the platform. Credits for pages, drafts and tracked queries cap usage, and extra pages cost more.

Ask Siteimprove for the hosting location, certifications and a data processing agreement, which we could not find on the MarketMuse site in September 2026.

The enterprise page states ISO 27001 certification. Budget for add-ons and extra seats, since AI content tools, Brand Radar AI and additional users are billed separately. Asked about trials, the pricing FAQ points to the free plan.
