Ryve vs Alhena.
Alhena tells you that ChatGPT cited you. We tell you why — then ship the rewrite that fixes it.
What Ryve does
- We write the actual PDP rewrite, JSON-LD schema, and llms.txt entry — not just a heat map
- Confirm-and-ship in one click: descriptionHtml, metafieldsSet, and pageUpdate fire from the queue
- Source decomposition: what % of your citations come from listicles vs Reddit vs reviews — per product
- Shopify-native onboarding (5 min) vs Alhena's manual brand setup
- Free to start; $39/mo Starter vs Alhena's enterprise-only sales motion
What Alhena does that we don't
- Cross-engine prompt monitoring across 10+ LLMs (we cover all 6 major engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI, Grok — wider LLM coverage on the roadmap)
- Brand-level reporting for non-Shopify storefronts
When to pick which.
Pick Alhena
Enterprise brands that want a dashboard their PR team can screenshot.
Enterprise (custom)
Pick Ryve
Shopify operators who want the rewrite, not the report.
Free, then $39 or $99/mo
Most merchants run both.
Alhena solves a real problem. So do we. They overlap on ~10% of features and complement on ~90%. If you don't see real revenue from Ryve during the 14-day free trial, walk away. We show the dollars in the Friday Recap.
