At a glance
What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Fingerprint dominates this category with a visibility score of 100%, compared to the category average of 6.9%. The next three ranked brands, SEON, Sift, and Castle, each sit at just 12.5% visibility, producing a composite score of 8.8 against Fingerprint's 81.2. This gap is not marginal. It means Google AI Mode is constructing answers about device fingerprinting software almost entirely around one brand, leaving competitors largely absent from AI-generated responses.
Visibility and citation diverge sharply across the top five. Fingerprint appears in AI responses at 100% visibility but is cited only 37.5% of the time, meaning it is named far more often than it is linked as a source. SEON, Sift, and Castle each achieve 12.5% visibility with a citation rate of exactly 0%. ThreatMetrix, Kount, Ravelin, Forter, Socure, and iovation record zero visibility and zero citations, suggesting they are effectively invisible to Google AI Mode in this category.
The top cited sources in this category include youtube.com, fingerprint.com, g2.com, softwareadvice.com, slashdot.org, memcyco.com, ipqualityscore.com, and devopsschool.com. The presence of review aggregators like g2.com and softwareadvice.com alongside fingerprint.com's own domain indicates the AI is anchoring on third-party review content and direct brand documentation. YouTube appearing as the top cited source suggests video content plays a meaningful role in how Google AI Mode constructs answers in this category.

Sources AI engines trust in this category
Across the 8 buyer-intent queries we ran on device fingerprinting software, these are the domains Google AI Mode cited most often. If you're not on this list — or if your competitors are — that's a concrete PR / linkbuilding target.
How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer.
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence — different from being named.
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps.
Rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically.
