A dot means the vendor does not document that capability publicly, not that the answer is no. Historical data is Search Console retention in months.
Why teams leave Bluefish
Bluefish AI is quote-only enterprise software with no public pricing page, no free tier, and no self-serve signup — every prospect goes through a sales-led demo process, which immediately disqualifies it for teams that want to compare and buy online without a sales call.
Its positioning around Fortune 500 brands and reported annual contract values in the six figures means smaller teams evaluating AI visibility tools often can't even get a ballpark number without a formal engagement, which is itself the reason many look elsewhere before ever seeing a quote.
