Peec AI Alternatives: 4 Options Compared on Price

Why teams look past Peec AI, and what Otterly, LLMrefs, Profound and Citerank offer instead, with prices checked on November 5, 2026.

Key takeaways

  • Peec AI's self-serve plans cost $95, $245 and $495 a month for 50, 150 and 350 prompts, with three AI models active at a time.
  • Perplexity is listed only on Peec's Enterprise plan. Otterly includes Perplexity on every plan, starting at $29 a month.
  • LLMrefs is the low-cost alternative: $79 a month for 500 prompts across nine engines, refreshed at least weekly instead of daily.
  • Profound is the enterprise alternative, with up to nine engines and custom pricing after a free 7-day trial.
  • Citerank is the alternative if you want to fix the reasons you are not cited: audits, Why Not Cited and fixes deployed to WordPress, from $29.99 a month.

Peec AI is one of the strongest self-serve AI visibility trackers available. People look for alternatives for three reasons: Perplexity is not on its self-serve plans, the entry plan starts at $95 a month, and like every tracker it tells you where you stand without changing the site.

Here are four alternatives, what each does better than Peec, and where each falls short. I built Citerank, one of the four, so I have tried to be specific about where it is not the right pick.

All prices come from each vendor's pricing page, read on November 5, 2026.

The alternatives side by side

Entry price Prompts at entry Perplexity included Refresh Fixes your site
Peec AI $95/mo 50 Enterprise only Daily No
Otterly $29/mo 15 Yes Daily No
LLMrefs $79/mo 500 Yes At least weekly No
Profound Free trial, then custom 50 (trial) Enterprise Daily No
Citerank Free; tracking from $29.99/mo 15 Yes On demand Yes

1. Otterly: Perplexity on every plan

Otterly is the closest like-for-like swap if Perplexity is the reason you are leaving. Its four base engines on every plan are ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot.

Plan Monthly price Prompts
Lite $29 15
Standard $189 100
Premium $489 400

Better than Peec for: Perplexity coverage, a cheaper way to start, and a 15 percent discount for annual billing. Standard and above include API and MCP access, agent analytics and a Data Studio connector.

Worse than Peec for: Gemini, Claude and Google AI Mode are paid add-ons on every Otterly plan, while Gemini and AI Mode are among Peec's included models. Lite's 15 prompts is a small list.

2. LLMrefs: the lowest cost per prompt

LLMrefs has one plan, All in One, at $79 a month. It includes 500 prompts across ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Copilot and Meta AI with no add-on fees, unlimited projects and team members, CSV export and API access. There is a 7-day free trial.

Better than Peec for: price. At about 16 cents per prompt, it costs a fraction of Peec's $1.41 to $1.90. You also get Perplexity and Claude without an Enterprise contract.

Worse than Peec for: freshness. LLMrefs updates each keyword at least once a week, where Peec tracks daily. If you need to see a change the day after you ship it, weekly data will frustrate you.

3. Profound: the enterprise route

Profound no longer publishes self-serve prices. Its pricing page offers a free trial of 50 prompts run daily for 7 days on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, then an Enterprise plan with custom pricing covering up to nine engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini, DeepSeek, Claude, AI Overviews, Exa Search and Muse Spark.

Better than Peec for: breadth on Enterprise, an AI marketing agent that researches, writes and reports, and dedicated support with SSO.

Worse than Peec for: transparency. There is no price on the page, and trial prompts are a recommended set you cannot edit. If you are leaving Peec because of cost, Profound is unlikely to be the answer.

4. Citerank: when you need to fix what the tracker finds

Citerank tracks a smaller list than Peec. The Citation Checker runs your questions through ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity: 15 on Starter at $29.99, 25 on Pro at $49.99 and 100 on Agency at $129.99. The AI Rank Tracker on Pro adds Grok and your position in each engine's source list.

What it adds is the other half of the job. Why Not Cited checks a lost question for blocked crawlers, content hidden behind JavaScript, schema problems, entity confusion and passages engines cannot quote. Citerank Deploy then pushes schema, meta descriptions, passage rewrites, llms.txt and robots rules to WordPress, with an exact revert, or serves them through a Cloudflare Worker on other sites.

Better than Peec for: turning visibility data into changes on the site, a free plan for audits, and a much lower entry price for tracking.

Worse than Peec for: tracking volume and depth. Citerank does not match Peec's daily tracking of hundreds of prompts, its sentiment analysis or its Naver coverage. If tracking at scale is your main need, Peec or LLMrefs is the better fit.

When to stay with Peec AI

Peec is still the right choice if your buyers mostly use ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI features, you need daily data on a few hundred prompts, and you value unlimited seats, sentiment and source analytics on every plan. None of the alternatives above beats it on all of those at once.

Which one to pick

  • Leaving for Perplexity: Otterly.
  • Leaving for price: LLMrefs, if weekly data is enough.
  • Moving up to enterprise: Profound.
  • Need to fix the site, not only measure it: Citerank. Start with the free AI visibility checker to see what is wrong before you pay for tracking.
