The short version
Pick AthenaHQ if

You are a large brand that needs eleven or more models watched, hallucination detection, sentiment tracking and executive dashboards, and $295 a month is a rounding error. Their model coverage and their reputation-risk features go beyond ours.

Pick Sourso if

You need the pages written, not only the gaps identified, and Doubao matters to you. Athena recommends; we draft, hold it for your approval, and then measure whether the answer moved.

Common questions
Yes, more models than we do, and if breadth of model coverage is the deciding factor they win it. We cover the ones our customers buy through, and one they do not list at all: Doubao, including the app, which answers differently from the API.
