Ubersuggest vs Semrush: what the data says
When buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to recommend SEO tool, Semrush is recommended more often than Ubersuggest — scoring 85/100 for AI visibility versus 18/100. Semrush shows up in 90% of AI answers to real buyer questions; Ubersuggest shows up in 20%.
The gap is widest on Gemini, where Semrush is clearly favoured: Ubersuggest is recommended 0% of the time and Semrush 80%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.
In practice, an AI assistant asked “What is the best SEO tool for small businesses?” is far likely to put Semrush on its shortlist. Ubersuggest is largely invisible in AI answers for SEO tool — and since these shortlists are increasingly where buying decisions start, that's a gap worth closing.
