Suparanku vs AKARUMI
AKARUMI is a Japanese AI-visibility tool from ipe inc., an SEO and LLMO consultancy. It measures more AI surfaces than we do, and it measures daily. What differs is what happens after the measurement: Suparanku produces the brief, records the published URL and measures again to show whether it worked.

Feature by feature
Each bar shows which product is stronger on that point, and by how clear a margin. It is our reading of the facts in the two cards below it — never a score we made up.
What each product measures
AKARUMI gates its AI coverage by plan. The upper tier is not the product’s overall reach, so the tiers are named.
AI surfaces covered
AKARUMI covers more surfaces, including two we do not measure at all.
Suparanku
- ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. All four start at Business
- Free is two, fixed (ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews); Starter is three of the four, selectable
- Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot are not measured
AKARUMI
- Their Standard plan covers Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Mode — three surfaces we do not have
- Light is ChatGPT and Gemini only. Claude is Enterprise-only
- Their pricing page gives two different engine counts, so this page states none
How often it measures
AKARUMI measures daily on every plan. We measure weekly, and Free measures once.
Suparanku
- Paid plans are weekly; manual re-measurement is capped at 50/month on Starter and 150 on Business
- Free is one run, ever — it cannot show movement
- Questions per brand: 15 on Free, 50 on Starter, 150 on Business, 300 on Enterprise
AKARUMI
- Light through Enterprise, measurement runs daily
- Question registrations: 50 on Light, 100 on Standard, 200 on Enterprise
- They publish no prices, so cost per measurement cannot be compared
AI crawler telemetry
AKARUMI reads AI crawler hits directly. We use Google Analytics and Search Console as a proxy.
Suparanku
- AI-referred traffic and citation-traffic insights come from the Google integration, on every plan
- We cannot see assistant traffic directly; GA4 and Search Console are the proxy
AKARUMI
- Their crawler analysis reads actual crawler access to the site
- But crawler intelligence is Enterprise-only — Light and Standard do not have it
Auditing your own site
We crawl the site and score it page by page. AKARUMI documents nothing equivalent.
Suparanku
- Crawls the site and scores each page with SRPS — up to 10,000 pages at depth 10 on Business
- Detects structured data, internal links, blocked AI crawlers and noindex
- It only ever crawls your own domain — it cannot score a competitor’s pages
AKARUMI
- Their feature list has no site crawl or technical audit
- “Not documented” is not “does not have”. This reads their published pages only
Turning findings into work
AKARUMI added AI-proposed actions in August 2026. This is the section where the gap is smallest.
Prioritised recommendations
Both produce prioritised actions automatically, and both track them by status.
Suparanku
- Three queues — context, technical, content — deliberately not merged, because different people close them
- Calibrated by a versioned PLAYBOOK, and each card records its version number, so the same inputs reproduce the same advice
- A card that has left Open is protected from regeneration, so instructions do not change mid-task
AKARUMI
- Their AI proposal feature fires issue alerts and proposes actions in priority order (August 2026)
- A proposal can be registered into an action table and its status updated; manual entries are supported too
- The screen is labelled beta, and their own guide still describes the product as an analysis foundation
A brief a writer can use
We produce a self-contained writing instruction. Whether their proposals reach one could not be established.
Suparanku
- A “what to write” a copywriter or an agent can act on with no other context, plus a seed prompt for the client’s own model
- Capped at 30/month on Starter and 100 on Business. Free is zero
- It does not write the article. A brief is not a piece
AKARUMI
- Their playbook pages are guidance for deciding what to do next from the data, added alongside a manual section
- Whether the proposals extend to a brief is not established — their terms forbid a competitor holding an account, so we did not trial it
Showing whether it worked
We record the published URL and measure the same questions again. Theirs is status tracking as far as we can verify.
Suparanku
- Records the URL, then re-measures the same questions and puts before and after side by side
- Content recommendations do not close themselves — someone must attach the URL, or nothing downstream appears
- Publishing does not guarantee a citation. Indexing, then impressions, then citations — over weeks, not days
AKARUMI
- Answers are archived over time, so before-and-after can be compared by hand
- Whether recorded URLs feed re-measurement is not established
Where each one works
Japanese market and language
Both are Japanese companies serving Japanese. There is no difference here.
Suparanku
- Japanese product and support, with data held in the Tokyo region
- We are tax-exempt, so we cannot issue qualified Japanese invoices
AKARUMI
- Built and run by ipe inc. in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo — a domestic product
- Their parent states more than 500 SEO and LLMO consulting engagements
Languages beyond Japanese
We ship in nine languages. Everything AKARUMI publishes is in Japanese.
Suparanku
- Product, reports and email in nine languages
- Recommendations change per market — different tactics for Japan, Korea, Germany and Russia
AKARUMI
- Product site, pricing, features and terms are Japanese only
Getting in
Published pricing and entry
Our prices are on the site. Every AKARUMI plan is contact-us.
Suparanku
- ¥0, ¥29,800 and ¥148,000 a month, published. Annual is about two months off
- Starts from a free visibility check that takes about 20 minutes
- The free plan measures once and cannot show movement
AKARUMI
- There is a free trial, and being SaaS it starts right after signup
- All three plans are priced on request; the rate card is a form-gated download
- Third-party write-ups mention a free tier; their own site offers a trial only
Reading the data from your own tools
Our data is readable and writable by an AI agent. AKARUMI documents no way in.
Suparanku
- An MCP server exposing about 90 tools, read and write
- On every paid plan. Off on Free
- There is no public REST API. MCP is the only channel
AKARUMI
- Of the fourteen features they list, none is an API or agent connection
- An export feature was added in July 2026
Which one is right for you
Pick Suparanku if…
- You do not want to stop at measurement — you want the brief for what to write.
- You want to know whether what you published worked, from re-measuring the same questions.
- You want your own agents to read the data. MCP access matters to you.
- You want the technical side of your own site scored page by page.
- You work in markets beyond Japanese, in one product.
- You want to know the price before talking to anyone, and try it for free.
Pick AKARUMI if…
- You need Perplexity, Copilot or Google AI Mode measured. We do not measure them.
- You want to track movement daily. We are weekly.
- You want AI crawler access logs read directly. Ours is a Google Analytics proxy.
- You want answers organised with your own tags — by product, by issue, by rival.
- You run three or more accounts and want them in separate workspaces.
- You want to buy consulting from the same supplier as the tool.
- You need qualified Japanese invoices. We are tax-exempt and cannot issue them.
How Suparanku works: the closed loop
Suparanku is built around one repeatable cycle. GEO, LLMO and AEO are tactics inside this loop — the loop itself is the product.
-
1. Your business, structured
A profile of what you sell and how buyers ask, built from your site and editable. Every number below depends on it.
-
2. Measure what AI says
Real questions asked to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews: are you named, where, in what tone, next to whom, from which sources.
-
3. Get a prioritised list
Three queues — your business facts, your website, your content — each card stamped with the version of the playbook that produced it.
-
4. Publish, on and off your site
Briefs cover your own page and the outside sites the engines already quote in your market. Your team or agency writes and ships it.
-
5. Record what you published
The URL becomes a tracked source, so the next scan knows what to look for.
-
6. Measure again
Weekly scans show whether the answers moved — scan by scan, with a marker wherever the measured questions changed.
Sources
