Best Peec AI Alternatives in 2026: 11 AI Visibility Tools, Priced Per Tracked Prompt

Peec AI publishes its prices: Starter at $95/mo, Pro at $245/mo, Advanced at $495/mo, and a custom-quoted Enterprise tier. If you've read elsewhere, including in an earlier version of this article, that Peec AI hides its pricing, that's out of date.

So secrecy isn't the reason to shop around. Three better reasons are:

1. The floor. $95 buys 50 prompts on 3 models. Otterly starts at $29 and Rankscale at $20.
2. The ceiling. Every self-serve tier tracks 3 models, and Claude is reserved for Enterprise. No self-serve price lifts that.
3. The unit. Peec AI bills by project (1, 2 or 5), not by brand, which matters most to agencies.

The central table below prices every tool per tracked prompt at the same engine coverage, because that's where Otterly's per-engine add-ons and Rankscale's weighted credits finally become comparable.

Key Facts

• AI platforms drove an average of 770.7 million referral visits a month worldwide between June 2025 and May 2026, a 117.4% increase on the year before (Similarweb).
• In an 8,400-prompt first-party study, Perplexity named a specific brand in 84.2% of responses versus 71.4% for ChatGPT, so which engines a tracker covers changes what you'll see (Visionary Marketing).
• Transparent pricing has been B2B software buyers' number one wish-list item for four years running, since TrustRadius started asking in 2023 (TrustRadius, via Yahoo Finance).

What Peec AI Actually Is

Peec AI is a Berlin-based AI visibility tracker with an agency lean, and says it's trusted by 3,000+ brands and agencies (a vendor claim). It tracks ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI, and you pick 3 of them on any self-serve tier.

Every tier includes unlimited users and daily tracking, and annual billing takes 15% off. Three details decide what you actually pay:

• A 4th model is an add-on, not an Enterprise upgrade. It's $35, $85 or $165 a month on Starter, Pro or Advanced ($30, $70 or $140 annual). That's also how you get Perplexity, a paid add-on.
• Claude is Enterprise-only on brand plans (Claude Sonnet 4, listed beside Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen, Mistral and Meta Spark).
• AI Shopping tracking covers ChatGPT only.

Peec AI also publishes agency plans at peec.ai/pricing-agencies: Essential at $245/mo (3 projects, 111 prompts), Growth at $495/mo (10 projects, 277 prompts) and Scale at $795/mo (25 projects, 722 prompts), all monthly, counted at 3 models tracked daily. Team and client users are unlimited, and Claude Sonnet 4 appears from Scale.

Stay or Switch? The Honest Case Each Way

Peec AI has a strong case for staying, and it's mostly about people and cadence, not price.

Unlimited users isn't unique, to be fair. Otterly includes unlimited team members on every tier, even its $29 Lite, AthenaHQ includes unlimited seats, and Rankscale does from Pro ($99). It's still uncommon among tools that charge per seat.

Two head-to-heads sit underneath the stay-or-switch call. Peec AI vs Otterly vs Rankscale prices the three self-serve trackers at equal engine coverage, including what happens once Claude is on your list. AthenaHQ vs Profound vs Peec AI sets Peec AI against AthenaHQ's free, credit-based tier and Profound's agent instead.

Quick Comparison: Peec AI and 11 Alternatives

Only Profound and Conductor genuinely publish no base price. Every other tool above, Peec AI included, shows a figure you can budget against.

Cost Per Tracked Prompt at Equal Engine Coverage

Headline price hides what actually differs, which is what each vendor includes. So this table fixes one scenario: daily tracking on ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and Gemini, three engines Peec AI lets you pick on any tier. Where a vendor charges extra to reach that set, the extra is in the price.

Prompts are what each allowance funds at 3 engines tracked daily. Rankscale assumes 0.25 credits per answer; AthenaHQ assumes 1 credit per answer.

Four things come out of it.

Per answer, Peec AI and Rankscale cost the same. Peec AI's Starter funds 4,500 monthly answers for $95. Rankscale's Pro funds 4,800 for $99, because ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Mode cost 0.25 credits each. What differs is what surrounds it: Rankscale's $99 includes 10 brand dashboards and unlimited seats, Peec AI's $95 includes 1 project.

Otterly flips depending on your engines. Its four included engines are ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot. Stay within them and Standard is $1.89 a prompt, cheaper than Peec AI's Starter and Pro. Swap in AI Mode and Gemini and the add-ons ($9 each on Lite, $59 on Standard, $149 on Premium) push it to $3.07. The "$9 to $29" add-on range often quoted describes Lite only.

Trakkr is cheapest per answer by a wide margin, because $100 buys all 8 models: $0.008 against Peec AI's $0.021. The catch is 50 prompts per brand. Packs add 50, 100 or 200 for $39, $59 or $99.

Peec AI's 4th model is costly at the bottom and fair at the top. Starter plus one add-on is $130 for 50 prompts, $2.60 each. Advanced plus one is $660 for 350, $1.89 each.

Some tools can't sit on the same footing:

Reason Two: The Claude Ceiling

For a reader who needs Claude coverage, Peec AI's tier structure is a wall, not a price. Here's what the same coverage costs elsewhere.

Reason Three: Projects Versus Brands

Peec AI's brand plans count projects: 1, 2 and 5. Its agency plans are the real answer for a multi-client team, so compare those. Here's a 10-client agency, splitting each plan's prompts evenly.

Peec AI's credits and Rankscale's 1,200 credits are each one pool shared across all clients.

Trakkr Scale gives each client more prompts and every model at about the price of Peec AI's agency Growth. Rankscale Pro is the cheap route if clients need only a handful of prompts each. Peec AI's edge is the top of its ladder: 25 projects at $795, where Trakkr's next step is Enterprise from $1,000.

1. Otterly.ai: The Cheapest Real Self-Serve Plan, Until You Add Engines

Otterly is transparent: four tiers, published prices, a free trial. Lite is $29/mo for 15 prompts on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot, with daily tracking and unlimited team members. Standard, where most teams land, is $189/mo for 100 prompts plus API, MCP and agent analytics. Premium is $489 for 400. Annual billing saves 15%, and 100 extra prompts cost $99. The catch is the engine list: Claude, Gemini and AI Mode are add-ons whose prices climb with your tier.

2. Rankscale: The Lowest Floor, With Credits Weighted by Engine

Rankscale has no paid per-engine add-on, but credits are weighted: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Mode cost 0.25 each, DeepSeek 1, Claude 2. So there is an effective per-engine cost. Essentials lists at $20/mo ($17 annual) but ships with zero credits, so real use means topping up. Pro is $99 with 1,200 credits (up to 4,800 answers), 10 brand dashboards and unlimited seats. REST API starts at Pro+ ($229), white-label at Growth ($385). Prices are in USD, not the euros some roundups quote.

3. Trakkr: Flat Pricing, All Eight Models

Growth is $100/mo for 1 brand, 50 prompts, 3 seats and all 8 models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI), tracked daily, with a 14-day trial. Scale is $500/mo for 10 brands at 50 prompts each, with unlimited seats, REST API and white-label portals. Enterprise starts at $1,000/mo, billed annually. The trade-off is depth per brand: prompt packs run $39 for 50, $59 for 100 and $99 for 200, and extra brands cost $50/mo each according to Trakkr's agencies page.

4. AthenaHQ: The Most Generous Free Tier

The Essential plan is free, not a trial: $25 of credit, 300 credits, unlimited seats, tracking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Copilot. Starter is $295/mo on monthly billing (annual saves 17%) for 3,600 credits and 11+ platforms, including Claude, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI, plus Oracle discrepancy detection, which flags when an AI answer misstates your product or pricing.

The credit rate is disclosed: 1 credit equals 1 AI response, so Starter works out to about 8 cents an answer. That funds 40 prompts daily on 3 engines, or far more at weekly cadence. Extra credits are "contact us," so a high-volume daily scenario can't be priced from the page.

5. Profound: Repositioned as an AI Marketer, With No Base Price

Profound built its name on deep prompt-level tracking, but its homepage now leads with "Meet your AI Marketer," an agent that researches, writes and reports. Brands get a free 7-day trial (50 prompts daily on ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews) and a custom Enterprise quote covering up to 9 engines. There's no base price. Its agency view does publish a client workspace at +$399/mo and 5 trial workspaces at +$199/mo. Profound states SOC 2 Type II on its own pages and says it raised a $180M Series D on 15 September 2026, a company statement.

Against Peec AI, that's the real contrast: one shows a ladder, the other needs a call. Our Profound vs Peec AI comparison covers how to buy when there's no number.

6. Scrunch: Monitoring Plus a Machine-Readable Site Layer

Scrunch is now part of Sitecore (announced 3 June 2026), which is connecting its answer-engine data to Sitecore's CMS and marketing tools. Its Agent Experience Platform serves a lightweight, machine-readable version of your site to LLMs without changing what visitors see. The old domain, scrunchai.com, redirects to scrunch.com.

Its pricing page shows two layouts, and we can't tell whether it's region or an A/B test. Served via the US: Starter $300/mo ($250 annual), 350 prompts, 3 seats, 7 engines; Growth $500/mo ($417 annual), 700 prompts, 5 seats. In some regions: one Core plan at $250/mo with 125 prompts, 5,000 responses, 4 engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Copilot), 5 seats and a 7-day trial, plus custom Enterprise. Extra users are $25/mo. Check your own region before you budget.

7. Goodie: Tracking Plus an Agent That Takes Action

Goodie is the priciest self-serve entry here, and the term matters. Core is $399/mo billed annually ($478.80 billed monthly), with a 7-day trial, 120 prompts, 5 models and 5 seats. Pro is $999/mo billed annually ($1,198.80 otherwise), with 250 prompts, 8 models and SKU-level commerce tracking (Pro and Enterprise only), and it needs a demo to buy. The agency track starts at Growth, $275/mo annual ($330 otherwise); Enterprise is custom. Goodie pairs tracking with content, technical fixes and outreach, plus revenue attribution. Third-party coverage calling it fully demo-gated is out of date.

8. Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit: AI Data Beside Your SEO Dashboard

Semrush is now an Adobe company (the acquisition completed 28 April 2026). If you already pay for Semrush, the toolkit adds AI tracking at $99 per domain with 25 prompts, 1 domain for Brand Performance and 300 reports a day. Its knowledge base sells +50 prompts for $60/mo, so there is a way to grow.

Semrush's own pages disagree on three points, and we've resolved none. The pricing page says billed annually; the knowledge base says "$99 per month." The pricing page advertises a seven-day trial; the knowledge base says there's none. The pricing page says extra users start at $45/mo; the knowledge base says each teammate needs a $99 license. The engine set for tracked prompts is also unconfirmed: the pricing page names ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini and Perplexity, the knowledge base only Google AI Mode and ChatGPT.

9. Ahrefs Brand Radar: Free With Ahrefs, Priced by Region

Custom Prompts are free with every paid Ahrefs plan from Lite up: 5 prompts on Lite, 10 on Standard, 20 on Advanced, 83-plus on Enterprise. Standalone, they start around $50/mo and the AI Visibility Index around $199/mo. It covers Claude but not Grok, and Ahrefs publishes an Enterprise price of $1,499/mo with an annual commitment.

The currency moves with where you are. We were served EUR 47 and EUR 179 on 2 October and GBP 40 and GBP 159 on 5 October; the USD figures are $50 and $199. Check what your region shows.

10. HubSpot AEO: The Cheap First Look

HubSpot AEO is in beta and sells standalone for $50/mo ($45 annual), with no other HubSpot product required. It came from HubSpot's XFunnel acquisition. The free trial tracks 25 prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, no card needed, and it's bundled into Marketing Hub Professional and Enterprise. It does not track Google AI Overviews, a real gap if your traffic is mostly Google.

11. Conductor: An SEO Platform With AEO Added

Conductor isn't a native AI visibility tool. It's an SEO platform with AEO reporting layered in, metered in "AI Search Credits," plus Conductor Creator for AI-ready content drafts. None of its three tiers (Essentials, Growth, Enterprise) shows a price, and every path leads to a trial, a demo or sales. It does offer a free AI Visibility Analysis, no account needed.

A Different Purchase Entirely: Paid Citation Placement

Noble and Anchorial sell mentions on third-party pages that AI engines already cite, rather than a dashboard. Neither belongs ranked next to the tools above. See our Noble vs Anchorial comparison rather than treating it as a Peec AI swap.

How to Choose: Decision Framework

What to Do Next

Write down your real scenario: prompts, models, how many brands, how many people. Then check it against the per-prompt table instead of the bold number on a pricing page. If the 3-model cap or Claude is why you're here, Trakkr and AthenaHQ Starter include it at a flat price. If you're an agency, run the 10-client table first. And if your team tops 4 or 5 people and nobody needs a 4th model, Peec AI's unlimited users can still be the better deal.
