| Ahrefs Brand Radar | Custom Prompts from $50/mo (free with Ahrefs Lite+) tracks mentions across 7 AI engines with brand and competitor benchmarking. | you don't already pay for Ahrefs - Custom Prompts needs an active Ahrefs plan, and the standalone AI Visibility Index is a separate $199/mo. | the wider Ahrefs suite (Web Analytics, Bot Analytics) - no Slack, GSC or API access mentioned on the product page. |
| Otterly.AI | $29 Lite covers 15 prompts across 4 engines (ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, Copilot), daily tracking, 1,000 GEO URL audits/mo. | you want Claude or Gemini included from day one - both are paid add-ons ($9-$439/mo) on every tier. | a Google Looker Studio connector, plus API and MCP access from the $189 Standard plan up. |
| Trakkr | €93/mo Growth tracks 1 brand daily across all 8 AI models, 50 prompts, 25 articles/mo, 3 seats. | you need more than one brand tracked - that requires the €465/mo Scale plan. | an MCP server (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor), Google Sheets sync, and a REST API from Scale up. |
| Semrush AI visibility | Bundled into existing Semrush plans (SEO plan from about $117/mo annual) - AI prompt tracking across Google Search, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini. | you want AI visibility as a standalone purchase - it isn't sold separately from a Semrush subscription. | Google Analytics and Google Search Console (Base Report add-on), plus 20+ integrations on the Pro Report add-on. |
| Profound | $99/mo Starter (billed yearly) tracks ChatGPT only, 50 prompts, 1 seat; $399 Growth adds Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. | you need more than one AI engine at the entry price - that means jumping straight to the $399 Growth plan. | Google Analytics plus hosting/CDN platforms - Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, Akamai, AWS and WordPress. |
| Rankscale | $20/mo Essentials covers basic monitoring; $99 Pro adds 1,200 monthly credits, 10 brand dashboards, 50 page audits/mo. | you need white-label reporting or an API - both start on the $385 Growth plan, not Essentials or Pro. | Google Looker Studio, Google Sheets, a REST API, and a Slack support channel on Growth and above. |
| Peec AI | Starter tier (price on request) covers ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini with prompt management and competitor tracking, billed annually. | you need a visible price before talking to sales - none of the four tiers publish one. | Shopify and Google Merchant Center for product catalogs, plus Google Data Studio and API/MCP access. |

All reviews
Every option in our Best Generative Engine Optimization Tools ranking, reviewed on its own terms.
- #1 LLM Brand Boost 8.4/10
The only tool here you can start with for nothing, and the cheapest paid step at $39. Three engines rather than eight - if breadth is what you need on day one, Trakkr is further down and we say so.
- #2 Ahrefs Brand Radar 7.0/10
The best value per prompt on this list by a distance, and the best data plumbing - but the $50 is an add-on to an Ahrefs plan, so starting from nothing costs about $179.
- #3 Otterly.AI 6.9/10
The cheapest published standalone entry at $29, with four engines. Fifteen prompts is enough to learn whether you appear at all and not enough to run a programme.
- #4 Trakkr 6.8/10
Eight engines on a published $100 plan - the widest coverage you can buy without a sales call. The right answer once budget stops being the constraint.
- #5 Semrush AI visibility 5.2/10
Bundled into plans from $117, so excellent value if you were buying Semrush anyway and an expensive way in if you were not.
- #6 Profound 5.0/10
The best-known name here, but the $99 tier tracks ChatGPT alone - three engines means the $399 plan, which puts it out of scope for a first purchase.
- #7 Rankscale 4.9/10
The widest claimed engine list here at seventeen and more, with no published price - so the coverage is impossible to value before a call.
- #8 Peec AI 4.1/10
A clean product with the exports agencies need, but you cannot find out what it costs without signing up, which rules it out as a starting point.
- #9 Scrunch AI 4.0/10
Built for enterprise procurement - SOC 2, SSO, multi-region - and priced accordingly, which is to say not priced publicly.
What each plan includes, who it's not for, and what it connects to
Checked directly on each vendor's pricing page, 9 September 2026 - not the same day the specs tables on the individual reviews were last checked, so treat this as the fresher read where the two disagree.
