Anyone evaluating Peec AI runs into the same structural question early in the demo: which three engines do you pick? Peec is one of the stronger brand-mention trackers in the AEO category โ its sentiment scoring is widely cited as a strength, unlimited user seats come standard on every paid plan, and its multilingual coverage spans 14+ languages โ but each self-serve tier (Starter at โฌ89/mo, Pro at โฌ205/mo, Advanced at โฌ425/mo) caps engine tracking at three of the seven on offer. A fourth engine costs โฌ70/mo extra on Pro or โฌ140/mo on Advanced, and Claude Sonnet 4 plus GPT-5 Search aren’t on the menu at all on self-serve โ both sit behind Enterprise via API access.
That’s where this comparison starts. The seven alternatives below either uncap engine coverage on the entry tier, price in USD, or open Claude tracking without a sales conversation โ and most do at least two of the three. The free AI rank tracker covers ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini with no credit card if a starting point helps before reading the full list.
TL;DR โ best Peec AI alternatives by use case
- Geoptie โ the four-engine entry pick when Peec’s choose-3 cap is the blocker. All four major answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) on a flat $49/mo plan, no engine add-ons.
- Profound โ best for enterprise brands that need the deepest engine breadth across ten or more engines with compliance and historical data
- Otterly AI โ best for solo SEOs and small teams that want to start tracking AI visibility for under $30 a month
Those three cover most buyers. The full comparison, the “3 of 6” lens, and the budget and ecosystem options are below.
Quick comparison table
| Tool | Best for | AI engines covered | Pricing model | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Geoptie | Marketing teams that want all four major answer engines on the entry tier without a “choose 3” cap | ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini | Flat per-plan | $49/mo |
| Profound | Enterprise brands needing the deepest engine coverage with compliance and historical data | ChatGPT (Starter); ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Meta AI, DeepSeek (Enterprise) | Flat per-plan (enterprise custom) | $99/mo Starter |
| Scrunch | Technical SEO teams that need AI-crawler analytics alongside citation tracking | ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Copilot (Core); Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, AI Mode, Grok (Enterprise) | Flat per-plan | $250/mo Core |
| Otterly AI | Solo SEOs and small teams tracking AI visibility for under $30/mo | ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot (4 on all tiers); AI Mode + Gemini as add-ons | Flat per-plan | $29/mo Lite |
| SE Ranking AI Search Toolkit | SEO teams that want AI visibility folded into a full SEO suite | AI Overviews, AI Mode, Perplexity, ChatGPT | Flat plan + flat add-on | $218/mo (Core + AI add-on) |
| Ahrefs Brand Radar | Established SEO teams that want a search-backed AI prompt database, not just custom prompts | AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, Gemini, Grok | Flat per-plan | $398/mo |
| Semrush AI Toolkit | SEO teams that want AI visibility inside their existing Semrush workflow | ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Perplexity (Claude Enterprise-only) | Flat per-domain add-on (per-seat multiplied) | $99/mo per domain |
All pricing is the monthly-billed rate. Annual discounts apply on most plans. Engine coverage often changes by tier โ the engine you care about may not be unlocked on the entry plan.
The “3 of 6” engine lock โ and what Peec’s add-on math really means
Peec covers six engines: ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, and Gemini. The pricing tiers tell a tighter story.
Starter (โฌ85/mo), Pro (โฌ205/mo), and Advanced (โฌ425/mo) each include three of those six engines, chosen at onboarding. The other three are paid add-ons. Claude Sonnet 4 and GPT-5 Search aren’t on any of those tiers โ both sit on Enterprise via API, with no public price.
The add-on math is what surprises buyers after they sign up. On Pro, each additional engine costs โฌ70/mo, so a Pro buyer wanting five of the six engines pays โฌ205 + (2 ร โฌ70) = โฌ345/mo โ a 68% premium over the headline. On Advanced, each additional engine is โฌ140/mo; a five-engine Advanced subscription is โฌ705/mo. The 3-of-6 cap doesn’t go away when you scale up. Claude is a separate story: tracking it means an Enterprise sales call, which is a two-week procurement loop most mid-market buyers haven’t budgeted for.
The question a buyer should actually price against is how many engines are included in the line item they’ll pay. Tools that bundle every major engine into a single flat plan settle that in advance โ you hit a tier limit and you upgrade, without a choose-3 prompt at checkout or a sales-call gate on Claude.
How we evaluated
Each tool below was tested in May 2026 against the same criteria: engine coverage on the entry tier, whether Claude is self-serve or gated to Enterprise, pricing-model predictability (flat over credit-based), self-serve checkout vs sales-call gates, free trial or free tier, multi-brand support, and how quickly the dashboard surfaces useful data after signup. Geoptie is on the list and at the top; Profound is the better pick for enterprise breadth across ten or more engines with SOC2; Scrunch has the best AI-crawler analytics; Ahrefs Brand Radar carries the largest real-search-backed prompt dataset. If one of those fits the scenario better than flat-priced multi-engine coverage, pick accordingly.
1. Geoptie (best for marketing teams that want all four major answer engines on the entry tier without a “choose 3” cap)

Pricing model: flat per-plan.
Geoptie tracks brand visibility across the four engines that matter โ ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini โ on a flat $49/mo Starter, with daily refreshes, citation and brand-mention tracking, and competitor share-of-voice. The comparison to Peec is straightforward: where Peec asks for a 3-of-6 pick and โฌ70/mo per additional engine, Geoptie includes all four in one line item.
Key features
- Daily tracking across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini on every paid tier
- Citation tracking (URL surfaced in an AI answer) and brand-mention tracking (brand named in the answer text) in one dashboard
- Competitor share-of-voice across the same prompt set
- Multi-brand support โ 10 brands on Professional, unlimited on Enterprise
- Free AI rank tracker, ChatGPT rank tracker, Claude rank tracker, and Perplexity rank tracker
Pricing
- Free โ geoptie.com/geo-rank-tracker. No credit card, no time limit.
- Starter โ $49/mo ($41/mo annually). 15 prompts, 2 brands.
- Professional โ $99/mo ($83/mo annually). 100 prompts, 10 brands.
- Enterprise โ $199/mo ($166/mo annually). 400 prompts, unlimited brands.
Pros
- Four major answer engines on the $49 entry tier โ no choose-3 cap, no add-on stack
- Claude available on Starter, no Enterprise contract required
- USD-denominated pricing, no FX conversion for US buyers
- Strong multi-brand support for agencies
Cons
- Four engines, not six โ Microsoft Copilot, AI Mode, and AI Overviews are not yet tracked
- Smaller historical dataset than Profound or Ahrefs
- Brand-mention sentiment scoring is less granular than Peec’s
2. Profound (best for enterprise brands needing the deepest engine coverage with compliance and historical data)

Pricing model: flat per-plan; enterprise tiers are custom-priced. See best Profound alternatives for the full breakdown.
Profound is the enterprise-positioned alternative to Peec. The Starter Lite plan at $99 a month tracks ChatGPT only, Growth at $399 a month covers three engines, and Enterprise covers ten or more (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Meta AI, DeepSeek) with SOC2, SSO, and the deepest historical-data archive of any tool on this list. Where Peec gates Claude to a sales-call Enterprise tier with no public price, Profound publishes Starter and Growth pricing and reserves the sales call for actual enterprise contracts.
Key features
- Up to 10+ engines on Enterprise tier
- Strongest historical data retention in the category
- Enterprise compliance โ SOC2, SSO, audit logs
- Agent Analytics tracks how AI crawlers interact with your site
- Boardroom-ready reporting and citation source breakdowns
Pricing
- Starter (Lite) โ $99/mo. ChatGPT only.
- Growth โ $399/mo. 3 engines.
- Enterprise โ custom pricing. 10+ engines, advanced reporting, compliance features.
Pros
- Broadest engine coverage of any flat-priced tool here
- Enterprise compliance posture for regulated industries
- Public Starter and Growth pricing โ only Enterprise is sales-call
Cons
- Starter tier is single-engine; multi-engine starts at Growth
- USD-denominated and SOC2-ready, but no Claude until Enterprise (same gate as Peec)
- Higher all-in cost than Peec Pro once you need multi-engine coverage
3. Scrunch (best for technical SEO teams that need AI-crawler analytics alongside citation tracking)

Pricing model: flat per-plan. See best Scrunch AI alternatives for the deeper comparison.
Scrunch is the technical SEO pick. The Core plan at $250 a month covers four AI platforms โ ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot โ plus a feature Peec doesn’t expose at all: AI-crawler analytics. Scrunch shows which AI bots (ClaudeBot, GPTBot, PerplexityBot) are actually accessing your site, how often, and which pages they fetch. That’s the foundational layer beneath citation and mention tracking โ if the crawler can’t read you, the citations don’t happen. Note: Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, AI Mode, and Grok are Enterprise-only on Scrunch, similar to Peec’s pattern.
Key features
- AI-crawler access tracking (ClaudeBot, GPTBot, PerplexityBot and others)
- Agent Experience Platform โ serves AI-optimized site version to bots
- Citation and brand-mention tracking across four platforms on Core
- Persona-based prompt sets
- Page-level audits
- Flat per-plan โ no add-on stack
Pricing
- Core โ $250/mo. 350 custom prompts, 1,000 industry prompts, 4 engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Copilot).
- Enterprise โ custom. Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, AI Mode, Grok unlocked; Enterprise Data API; dedicated GTM team.
Pros
- Unique AI-crawler analytics layer โ not in Peec
- Agent Experience Platform is a real differentiator
- Flat per-plan pricing with no engine add-ons
Cons
- Core entry price ($250) is higher than Peec Starter (โฌ85)
- Claude on Enterprise only โ same gate as Peec
- 350 custom prompts is mid-range for the price
4. Otterly AI (best for solo SEOs and small teams that want to start tracking AI visibility for under $30/mo)

Pricing model: flat per-plan. See best Otterly alternatives for the deeper comparison.
Otterly is the budget entry. The Lite plan at $29/mo covers four engines โ ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot โ with 15 search prompts, bundled rather than chosen from a 3-of-6 list. That’s roughly $65/mo cheaper than Peec Starter in USD-equivalent, and Otterly picked up a Gartner Cool Vendor 2025 nod on the way. The trade-off is engine breadth: Claude isn’t tracked on any tier, and Gemini and AI Mode are paid add-ons.
Key features
- $29 entry tier โ the cheapest paid AEO tracker in the category
- Four engines on all plans (ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, Copilot)
- Public API on Standard and Premium
- Google Looker Studio connector for reporting
- Multi-client workspace for agencies
Pricing
- Lite โ $29/mo ($25/mo billed annually). 15 prompts.
- Standard โ $189/mo ($160/mo annual). 100 prompts, public API.
- Premium โ $489/mo ($422/mo annual). 400 prompts, public API.
- AI Mode and Gemini add-ons $9โ$149/mo depending on tier.
Pros
- Cheapest paid entry on the list, USD-denominated
- Gartner Cool Vendor 2025 credibility for SMBs
- Public API on the mid-tier โ rare at this price band
Cons
- No Claude on any tier โ direct miss if Claude visibility matters
- Gemini and AI Mode cost extra
- 15 prompts on Lite is small for a real evaluation
5. SE Ranking AI Search Toolkit (best for SEO teams that want AI visibility folded into a full SEO suite)

Pricing model: flat plan + flat AI Search add-on.
SE Ranking is the suite-consolidation pick. The Core SEO plan starts at $129 a month (monthly billing) or $103.20 a month annual, and the AI Search add-on is $89 a month (or $71.20 a month annual). All-in, that’s roughly $218 a month to get SEO and AI visibility in one workspace. The AI Search add-on tracks ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, and Perplexity โ four engines with no Claude. Standalone SE Visible plans are also available: Core $189 a month, Plus $355 a month, Max $519 a month, with unlimited user seats on every plan.
Key features
- SEO + AI visibility in one suite โ keyword tracking, backlinks, audits alongside AI brand monitoring
- “SE Visible” dashboard for brand mentions, citations, and sentiment trends (200 prompts on the entry add-on)
- 14-day free trial on the SEO suite with no credit card; 10-day on SE Visible standalone
- Unlimited user seats on every plan
Pricing
- Core (SEO) โ $129/mo ($103.20/mo billed annually). 10 projects.
- AI Search add-on โ $89/mo ($71.20/mo annual). 200 prompts, 4 engines.
- SE Visible standalone โ $189/mo Core / $355/mo Plus / $519/mo Max.
- Growth (SEO) โ $279/mo ($223.20/mo annual). 30 projects.
Pros
- Best fit if you already use SE Ranking for keyword and backlink work
- Predictable flat pricing across both layers โ no choose-3 cap, no engine add-ons
- 14-day free trial is more generous than Peec’s
Cons
- Claude is not in the AI Search add-on engine list
- Four-engine ceiling on the AI Search add-on โ no Claude, Copilot, Grok, or Gemini
- Two line items (Core + AI Search) instead of one all-in plan
6. Ahrefs Brand Radar (best for established SEO teams that want a search-backed AI prompt database, not just custom prompts)

Pricing model: flat per-plan.
Ahrefs Brand Radar takes a different approach than every other tool on this list. Instead of asking you to set up custom prompts (Peec’s “Choose 3 models” workflow), Brand Radar indexes 395 million-plus monthly prompts across six AI platforms โ AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, and Gemini โ derived from real search behavior rather than synthetic test prompts. You can query any brand, topic, or vertical instantly without setup. Custom prompts are still available on the All-platforms tier (2,500 checks/mo included). Pricing is high but flat: $398/mo for Select platforms or $699/mo for All platforms, the latter adding the full prompt database, custom prompts, and YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit visibility (free while in beta). Claude isn’t in the engine list โ a notable miss for teams shopping Peec specifically for Claude coverage.
Key features
- 395M+ monthly prompts โ largest real-search-backed dataset in the category
- Tight integration with the rest of the Ahrefs SEO suite
- Six AI platforms covered (including Grok)
- YouTube, TikTok, Reddit visibility (free while in beta) on the All-platforms tier
- Search demand history going back years
Pricing
- Select platforms โ $398/mo. Individual platform selection.
- All platforms โ $699/mo. Full access to 395M+ prompts across 6 platforms + 2,500 custom-prompt checks/mo + YouTube/TikTok/Reddit beta + search demand history.
Pros
- Largest real-search-backed prompt dataset of any tool here โ Peec uses custom prompts only
- Free AI Visibility Checker at ahrefs.com/ai-visibility-checker with no signup
- Strongest fit for teams already standardized on Ahrefs
- YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit visibility โ sources Peec doesn’t touch
Cons
- No Claude coverage
- Higher entry price than Peec Starter
- Less specialized as a pure AEO tool than Profound or Scrunch
7. Semrush AI Toolkit (best for SEO teams that want AI visibility inside their existing Semrush workflow)

Pricing model: flat per-domain add-on, multiplied by seats.
Semrush AI Toolkit is the most natural fit for teams already on Semrush. The Toolkit is a $99/mo per-domain add-on on top of a Semrush plan, or bundled into Semrush One starting at $199/mo. It tracks ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, and Perplexity, with Claude available only on Enterprise. Access is per-seat, so three teammates wanting access means $297/mo for the add-on alone โ the headline $99 understates the team cost, the same way Peec’s headline โฌ85 Starter understates a buyer who needs four or five engines.
Key features
- AI visibility data inside the Semrush dashboard alongside traditional SEO
- 25 custom prompts with daily rankings
- ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Perplexity coverage
- Bundled options via Semrush One
Pricing
- AI Toolkit add-on โ $99/mo per domain, per user.
- Semrush One โ Starter โ $199/mo.
- Semrush One โ Pro+ โ $299/mo.
- Semrush One โ Advanced โ $549/mo.
- Claude available on Enterprise only.
Pros
- Tight integration with existing Semrush SEO workflows
- Flat pricing โ no choose-3 cap, no per-engine add-ons
- Bundled Semrush One option for teams that need both SEO and AEO
Cons
- Per-seat multiplication makes the team cost much higher than the headline
- Claude is Enterprise-only โ same gate as Peec
- Adds cost on top of an existing Semrush bill rather than replacing it

FAQ
Geoptie, Profound, Scrunch, Otterly AI, SE Ranking AI Search Toolkit, Ahrefs Brand Radar, and Semrush AI Toolkit. Geoptie is the best value for flat-priced multi-engine coverage on the four engines that drive AI search visibility, with Claude included on the entry tier; Profound is the enterprise pick; Otterly is the cheapest paid entry.
Peec’s pricing structure includes three default engines on Starter (โฌ85/mo), Pro (โฌ205/mo), and Advanced (โฌ425/mo), and treats every additional engine as a paid add-on (โฌ70/mo each on Pro, โฌ140/mo each on Advanced). The 3-of-6 cap holds on every non-Enterprise tier. Whether that’s a deliberate margin play or a product-tiering choice, the practical effect for buyers is that the headline price understates the cost of tracking every engine you might be asked about.
Yes, but only on the Enterprise tier via API access โ Claude Sonnet 4 and GPT-5 Search aren’t available on Starter, Pro, or Advanced. There’s no public price for Enterprise; you book a sales call. If Claude tracking matters on a self-serve, public-priced tier, alternatives that include Claude without a sales gate include Geoptie ($49/mo Starter), Profound (Enterprise), and Scrunch (Enterprise).
Profound covers more engines on its Enterprise tier (10+ vs Peec’s 6 core engines, with Claude included rather than gated behind API access on a custom contract), and publishes both Starter ($99/mo) and Growth ($399/mo) prices instead of routing every multi-engine buyer to a sales call. On a single engine like ChatGPT, the two are closer in capability โ choose based on engine breadth and pricing transparency, not feature parity.
Peec’s Starter, Pro, and Advanced tiers each include three of the six core engines (ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Copilot, Perplexity, Gemini). Additional engines cost โฌ70/mo each on Pro and โฌ140/mo each on Advanced. A Pro buyer who wants five engines pays โฌ205 + โฌ140 = โฌ345/mo. An Advanced buyer who wants five engines pays โฌ425 + โฌ280 = โฌ705/mo. Claude and GPT-5 Search aren’t add-ons โ they’re Enterprise-only via API.
Yes โ every paid plan offers a free trial. Trial length is inconsistent across sources (7 days on the first-party screenshot, 14 days in some third-party reviews), so the signup flow is the place to confirm before committing.
Both are flat-priced AI visibility platforms with daily tracking and citation analysis. Peec covers six engines but caps each non-Enterprise tier at three and routes Claude through a sales-call Enterprise contract. Geoptie includes all four leading answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) on its $49/mo Starter with no choose-3 cap and no Enterprise wall for Claude. Peec’s strengths are brand-mention sentiment depth and a mature agency program; Geoptie’s strengths are entry-tier engine coverage, Claude self-serve access, USD pricing, and a free product with no time limit.
What to do next
The simplest first move when shopping Peec is to stop picking which three engines you can afford to track. The free AI rank tracker covers all four major answer engines โ ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini โ at no cost. If the data is useful, a paid plan that bundles those four into a flat line item costs less than Peec Starter plus a single engine add-on.
