Honest comparison
Zelos AI vs Unkover
Unkover: $79–$199/mo · Zelos AI: $0–$349/mo
Unkover tracks competitor web pages (50–100 pages depending on tier), funding news, reviews and media mentions, and routes them into email workflows. It is a solid page-watcher. But its Base tier refreshes every 3 days, covers 5 competitors at $79–99/mo, and leaves interpretation to you. Zelos scans nightly across 18 structured source types — including hiring, GitHub, app stores and review sites — scores each signal, and writes the Monday strategic brief itself, from $49/mo.
