Which kind of AI SEO tool you need

AI SEO software does one of two jobs. Visibility trackers (Profound, Peec AI, Otterly.AI, Rankscale, LLMrefs, Surfer AI Tracker, Ahrefs Brand Radar) run a set of prompts through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and other answer engines on a schedule, and report how often your brand is mentioned, in what position, next to which competitors and citing which sources. Optimisation tools (Alli AI, Search Atlas, Scrunch, AthenaHQ, Goodie, Writesonic) add the fixing: site audits for AI crawlers, content recommendations, or changes deployed to the site. Semrush and Search Atlas fold AI visibility into a full SEO suite.

The numbers deserve care. The same prompt can get a different answer from one run to the next, by phrasing and by user, so a tracker is sampling rather than reading a fixed ranking; the guide to tracking brand mentions in AI covers what that means for the figures, and the AI search visibility guide covers what to change on the page. To see how one of your passages reads to an AI answer, the AI citability checker is free.

How AI SEO tools are priced

Most trackers charge by prompts, and three other things multiply them: how many AI models each prompt runs on, how often it runs, and in how many countries. Peec AI’s pricing page spells it out: monthly AI answers are tracked prompts × active models × tracking frequency. Others sell credits instead (AthenaHQ counts one credit per AI response, Rankscale and Search Atlas use credit pools), so compare plans by the number of answers they buy, not by the headline price.

ToolStarting priceWhat the starting plan includes
Ahrefs Brand Radar$50/moLite plan: 5 prompts, daily, 150 checks a month
Alli AI$299/mo5 sites, 5 team members, 500 keywords, 1,250 pages

Search Atlas$99/mo1 project, 1 seat, OTTO SEO on 1 site, 500 AI visibility credits
Semrush (SEO + AI Search)$199/mo50 prompts tracked daily, 1 domain for AI brand performance, plus the SEO tools
Surfer AI Tracker$82/mo50 prompts, daily, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Mode and AI Overviews
Writesonic$79/mo50 prompts daily across ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews, 15 AI articles

As each vendor words it on its pricing page, 6 November 2026. Daily tracking of 50 prompts on 3 models is about 4,500 AI answers a month; weekly tracking of the same prompts is about a quarter of that.

“From” is the lowest published starting price, as billed on the vendor’s page; see each listing for the billing basis.

How this directory is built

Every price, plan, free option and trial here was read from the vendor’s own website on the date shown, and each tool links to the exact page it came from. Prices are written as the vendor showed them, in the currency it showed, with how they are billed: monthly, yearly or one-off. Some vendors show prices in a different currency depending on where you are, so check the source before you buy.

There are no ratings, rankings or paid placements, and no affiliate links. Tools are listed A to Z. Where a vendor does not publish a price, the listing says so rather than quoting a third party. Prices are rechecked every quarter; the date on each listing is the last time it was confirmed. If a listing is wrong or out of date, tell me and it will be corrected.

Frequently asked questions

Software that measures or improves how a brand appears in AI-generated answers, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Trackers report mentions, positions and cited sources for a set of prompts; optimisation tools also suggest or deploy fixes.
AthenaHQ has a free Essential plan with a $25 credit. Most others offer a free trial instead: Profound runs 50 prompts daily for 7 days, and Scrunch, LLMrefs, Goodie and Search Atlas offer 7-day trials, Alli AI 10 days.
Published starting prices on this page run from $29 a month for Otterly.AI with 15 prompts to $295 a month for AthenaHQ and Goodie. Profound sells paid plans through a demo. Compare by prompts, models and how often they run.
A keyword is a search term; a prompt is a full question put to an AI assistant. Most tools track prompts you write or pick. LLMrefs takes keywords and generates the prompts for each one.
No. There are no paid placements, rankings, ratings or affiliate links. Tools are listed alphabetically and filtered by what they do.
