How this list works

We looked for tools that fix the three gaps in Peec AI's published offer: engines limited to three picks, prices you cannot read without running the page's JavaScript, and no listed Search Console integration. Every entry needed a vendor page we could read on 28 or 29 September 2026 showing its price or free plan, its engines and its trial terms.

The eight are ordered by the entry price in the table, lowest paid price first, with euro prices taken at face value. We did not test accuracy inside any paid dashboard except Cituna's, which High Street uses in its own client work; that is why Cituna is included, and it was held to the same criteria as every other entry.

Why do people leave Peec AI?

We have no survey of why teams cancel. These are the points where Peec's published offer, read on 28 September 2026, is most likely to push a buyer to look elsewhere:

  • Three models per plan. Starter, Pro and Advanced each let you choose three models from ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI.
  • Perplexity, Claude and Grok cost extra. Perplexity is sold as a paid add-on model, and Claude and Grok sit in the full model list that Enterprise chooses from, up to 13.
  • You cannot read the prices without a browser. Our crawler test fetched the pricing page as GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Googlebot. None received a plan price in the server HTML; the only currency figure was a funding line. The add-on price was missing too.
  • No Search Console listed. Integrations named are CDN and log providers and Google Analytics.
  • Country limits are unclear. The FAQ says any supported country costs nothing extra, while the comparison table caps Starter at one country and Pro and Advanced at three.
  • API terms are unclear. The Enterprise card lists API access; the table has API and MCP rows, but their per-plan values were not in the page's text.

For reference only: on 25 September 2026 the page listed Starter at $95, Pro at $245 and Advanced at $495 a month, with extra models at $30 a month on Starter billed annually. We could not confirm those figures on 28 September.

What does Peec AI still do well?

Peec's engine picking is a real advantage if you know your buyers. A team selling mainly through Google can put its three models on AI Mode, AI Overviews and Gemini; a Microsoft-heavy B2B market can pick Copilot. Naver AI is on the list, which few tools here offer.

Every plan includes unlimited users, which matters if several teams read the data. Starter covers 50 prompts tracked daily, Pro 150 prompts across two projects, and Advanced 350 prompts across five projects with a Looker Studio integration. Source analytics go down to domain and URL, with citation share and source classification.

Peec also lists shopping tracking at SKU level, brand perception fact-checking, agent analytics from CDN logs and a 15% annual discount. Enterprise adds up to 13 models, API access and SSO.

AI engines recommend it often. In our Cituna scan of 22 buyer questions across seven engines on 28 September 2026, Peec AI was named in 66 of 153 answers (43.1%), third behind Otterly.AI (84) and Profound (68).

How many AI answers does each plan buy?

Peec's numbers show the formula every tracker uses: prompts × engines × days. Starter's 50 prompts on 3 models daily for 30 days is 4,500 answers, exactly the 4,500 a month Peec lists. Using the same formula (our arithmetic):

  • Promptwatch Essential: 50 prompts × 4 models × 30 = 6,000, matching the 6,000 responses it lists.
  • Trakkr Growth: 50 prompts × 8 models × 30 = 12,000 answers a month for $100.
  • Otterly.AI Lite: 15 prompts × 4 engines × 30 = 1,800 answers a month for $29.

More answers are not automatically better: a short list of questions buyers really ask is worth more than a long padded one. Our guide on how to choose an AI visibility tool covers which engines to pay for first.

The 8 alternatives, one by one

1. Otterly.AI (best for the cheapest fixed plan with Copilot)

Otterly.AI tracks prompts daily on ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot on every plan. Lite costs $29 a month, or $25 billed annually, for 15 prompts, one workspace and unlimited team members, checked 28 September 2026. Standard is $189 for 100 prompts, unlimited workspaces, API and MCP access and a Looker Studio connector.

Gemini, AI Mode and Claude are add-ons with published prices: $9, $9 and $29 a month on Lite. Otterly lists 50+ countries on every plan and a free trial for new users, without its length or card terms.

Strength: Perplexity and Copilot both on the entry plan, and every add-on engine priced on the page, so you can cost your engine mix before you sign up.

Limit: 15 prompts on Lite, no Grok, and add-ons grow with the plan (Claude is $439 a month on Premium). Search Console is not listed.

Pick it if: you want Perplexity without paying for an extra model, on a short list of questions. Our Otterly AI alternatives guide covers when teams outgrow it.

2. Cituna (best for seven engines on every plan, no picking)

Cituna checks your buyer questions every day on seven engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. When it finds a gap, it writes the fix and can publish the article. Google Search Console and MCP are included. Plans are $39, $119 or $399 a month, with a 3-day trial that needs a card (checked 28 September 2026).

Strength: Perplexity, Claude and Grok, the three models Peec keeps outside its self-serve picks, are on every plan, and Search Console, which Peec does not list, is included.

Limit: it does not track Microsoft Copilot, which Peec offers as a pick. The trial is short and needs a card, and the tiers are fixed.

Pick it if: you would rather see every major engine than guess which three matter, and you want the fixes written as well as the gaps found. Cituna's pricing page

3. Geoptie (best for picking engines, with Claude among the choices)

Geoptie keeps Peec's idea of choosing engines but gives you four per brand from seven: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, AI Mode and AI Overviews. Starter costs $49 a month billed monthly ($588 a year) or about $41 billed annually ($490 a year), checked 28 September 2026. It includes 15 prompts, two brands, 123 markets, daily tracking and unlimited team members.

Professional ($99 monthly, about $83 annually) has 100 prompts, ten brands, white-label reports, a REST API and an MCP server.

Strength: Claude and Perplexity are ordinary picks at entry, not add-ons, and the prices are on the page.

Limit: no Grok, and a prompt tracked in three countries uses three prompts. Only 15 prompts on Starter, and no trial is stated.

Pick it if: you liked choosing engines in Peec but need Claude or Perplexity in the mix, or several markets.

See Geoptie's pricing

4. LLM Pulse (best for euro billing, five engines and MCP at entry)

LLM Pulse prices each plan twice, for weekly or daily tracking. Starter is €49 a month weekly or €79 daily, checked 28 September 2026, with 50 prompts, one project, five models and an MCP server. The five are ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overviews and Gemini.

Claude, Copilot and Grok are add-ons, with extra models from €8 a month at the weekly Starter rate. The trial runs 14 days on weekly plans and needs a payment method; daily plans start right away. VAT is added by billing country.

Strength: Perplexity and both Google AI surfaces on the entry plan, with MCP included and a cheaper weekly option.

Limit: daily tracking costs about 60% more than weekly, and Claude, Copilot and Grok cost extra. Extra prompts are €100 a month per 100.

Pick it if: you are billed in euros, weekly numbers are enough, and you want five engines without picking.

See LLM Pulse's weekly and daily prices

5. Promptwatch (best for Peec's plan steps with published prices)

Promptwatch's plans follow the same steps as Peec's: 50, 150 and 350 prompts across 1, 2 and 5 projects. The prices are published: Essential $95, Professional $245 and Business $579 a month, checked 29 September 2026. Every plan tracks four AI models daily and includes MCP and API access.

Essential includes 200K citations, 1.5K crawler logs and country-level tracking; Business adds state and city tracking. A 7-day free trial covers Essential and Professional.

Strength: API and MCP from the entry plan, plus AI crawler logs that show which bots visit your site.

Limit: four models per plan, and the pricing page does not say which four. Copilot and AI Mode are not listed, and Essential has one seat, where Peec gives unlimited users.

Pick it if: you liked Peec's structure and want the same steps with prices you can plan around, plus API access from day one.

See Promptwatch's plans

6. Trakkr (best for Claude, Grok and Perplexity at entry)

Trakkr's Growth plan costs $100 a month or $1,000 a year, checked 29 September 2026. It covers one brand, 50 prompts and eight models tracked daily: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI. It includes 25 article credits a month, three seats and MCP.

Scale ($500) adds ten brands, unlimited seats, a REST API and a white-label portal. The 14-day trial needs a card.

Strength: the same eight models on every plan, so Claude, Grok and Perplexity come without add-ons or Enterprise.

Limit: no Copilot or AI Mode, the trial needs a card, and the REST API starts at $500 a month.

Pick it if: your buyers use Claude, Grok or Perplexity and you want all of them on one entry plan.

See Trakkr's pricing

7. SE Ranking (best for Search Console, API and MCP in an SEO suite)

SE Ranking's Core plan costs $129 a month, or $103.20 billed annually, checked 28 September 2026. It tracks 2,000 keywords and 100 prompts daily across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews and AI Mode, with 10 projects, 25K API credits, MCP, and GA4 and Search Console integrations.

The trial runs 14 days with no card and allows 20 AI prompts a day.

Strength: Search Console, API and MCP on the entry plan, next to a full SEO toolkit.

Limit: no Claude, Grok or Copilot, one manager seat on Core, and payments are non-refundable.

Pick it if: you want AI tracking and SEO in one account, and Google's AI surfaces matter more to you than Claude or Copilot.

See SE Ranking's subscription plans

8. AthenaHQ (best for a free start, then eleven models)

AthenaHQ's Essential plan is free, with $25 of credit (300 credits), and covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini and Copilot for unlimited members, checked 28 September 2026. One credit is one AI response.

Starter costs $295 a month (17% off billed annually) for 3,600 credits and 11 models: ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek, Meta AI and Mistral. It adds GA4 and Search Console integration and unlimited seats.

Strength: a free plan with real data, then the longest engine list here at a published price, with no per-engine add-ons.

Limit: nothing between free and $295, one language and region on Starter, and the API is a paid add-on with no published price.

Pick it if: you want to try real data free, then need Copilot, Claude and Grok together on a self-serve plan.

Which alternatives do AI engines name?

We asked "best Peec AI alternative" in our Cituna scan of 22 buyer questions across seven engines on 28 September 2026. All seven engines named Profound, six named Otterly.AI and four named Writesonic. Semrush was named by three; SE Ranking, Rankscale and Ahrefs Brand Radar by two each; and Promptwatch, Geoptie and AthenaHQ by one. Cituna, Trakkr and LLM Pulse were not named for this question.

We left three frequently named tools off the list, for reasons on their own pages:

  • Profound publishes no paid price for brands: a 7-day trial on ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews, then custom Enterprise pricing (checked 28 September 2026). See our Profound alternatives.
  • Writesonic tracks a fixed three on its self-serve plans (ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews) from $79 a month billed annually, with Search Console on every tier (checked 29 September 2026). It keeps Peec's three-engine limit.
  • Superlines uses the same pick-three model, any 3 of 10+ engines, from €79 a month with unlimited countries and languages (checked 29 September 2026). A good fit if countries, not engines, are your problem.

How do I switch from Peec AI?

  1. Export your setup. Copy every prompt, the three models you picked, your projects and countries, and note current mention and citation figures.
  2. List what you were missing. If it was Perplexity, Claude or Grok, choose a tool that includes them at entry. If it was Search Console, check that the plan lists it.
  3. Check seats. Peec gives unlimited users; Promptwatch Essential has one seat, SE Ranking Core one manager seat, and Trakkr Growth three.
  4. Run both for one to two weeks. Same prompts, same engines, same country, same days.
  5. Compare trends, not single answers. AI answers change between runs, so compare mention rates and which pages each tool lists as cited.
  6. Rebuild reports, then cancel. Recreate your Looker Studio or client reports in the new tool before your Peec renewal, especially if you pay annually.

If you are weighing Ahrefs too, our Ahrefs Brand Radar alternatives compares its per-check pricing with fixed plans.

Questions people ask

How much does Peec AI cost?

Peec AI's plan prices were not published on the pricing page we read on 28 September 2026: they were not in the page's server HTML for any crawler we tested. On 25 September 2026 the page listed Starter at $95, Pro at $245 and Advanced at $495 a month. Enterprise is custom and billed annually.

What is the cheapest Peec AI alternative?

AthenaHQ has a free Essential plan with 300 credits. The cheapest paid plan on this list is Otterly.AI Lite at $29 a month, or $25 billed annually, checked 28 September 2026.

Which Peec AI alternative tracks Claude and Grok without Enterprise?

Cituna includes both on every plan from $39 a month. Trakkr includes both on its $100 Growth plan. AthenaHQ's $295 Starter includes both among 11 models. LLM Pulse sells Claude and Grok as add-ons.

Does Peec AI connect to Google Search Console?

Search Console was not listed on the page we read on 28 September 2026; its integrations were CDN and log providers and Google Analytics. Cituna, SE Ranking and AthenaHQ's Starter plan list Search Console.

Can I keep choosing my own engines if I leave Peec?

Yes. Geoptie lets you pick any 4 of 7 engines per brand, Claude included, and Superlines lets you pick any 3 of 10 or more. LLM Pulse gives five engines and sells others as add-ons.

How long should I run Peec and a new tool in parallel?

One to two weeks, with the same prompts, the same engines and the same country in both tools. Compare trends in mentions and cited pages rather than single days, because AI answers vary from run to run.
