8 Best Otterly.AI Alternatives in 2026, With Prices

If Otterly.AI's add-on fees are why you are looking, the best alternative for a B2B team is Cituna: it tracks all 7 AI engines, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Mode included with no add-ons, writes the fix for every gap, shows which AI crawlers read your pages and publishes to your CMS, from $49 a month. Otterly.AI Lite costs $29 a month for four engines, and adding those three engines takes it to at least $76 by our sum of its published add-on prices. Other needs point elsewhere. Rankscale covers more than 17 engines on credits from $99 a month billed monthly. Ahrefs Brand Radar suits a brand benchmarking its share of voice, from $199 a month for one platform, or $699 for all of them. AthenaHQ offers a free plan and 11 models on its $295 Starter. Peec AI, SE Visible and the Semrush toolkit sit between $95 and $99 a month with larger prompt allowances, and Scrunch starts at $250 for larger brands.

Every price and limit below is the vendor's own, from pages recorded on 24 September and 17 October 2026, with Otterly.AI's plan prices checked again on 20 October 2026. A tracker shows where you stand; if you want a team to get your product found in Google and recommended by the seven AI engines buyers now ask first, with published pricing and no annual lock-in, book a 30-minute call.

Otterly.AI, the baseline

Otterly.AI runs a set of prompts every day on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot, and reports brand mentions, the websites cited and a brand visibility index. It also offers a GEO audit of single URLs and a prompt research tool. Its plans as published on its pricing page, read 24 September 2026:

• Lite: $29 a month on monthly billing ($25 on annual billing). 15 search prompts, the four engines above, daily runs, unlimited team members, one workspace and three recommendations a week.
• Standard: $189 a month ($160 annual). 100 search prompts, API and MCP access, Agent Analytics, a Looker Studio connector and unlimited workspaces.
• Premium: $489 a month ($422 annual), for 400 search prompts.
• Enterprise: custom, starting at 1,000 search prompts.
• Engine add-ons, at Lite prices: Google AI Mode from $9 a month, Gemini from $9 a month and Claude from $29 a month.

A web search on 20 October 2026 returned the same $29, $189 and $489 plan prices. Three limits shape the list below. Gemini, Google AI Mode and Claude are paid extras on every plan. The entry plan tracks 15 prompts. API, MCP and Agent Analytics begin at $189 a month. New users get a free trial, and the pricing page does not give its length.

How we chose these 8

This is a desk comparison of what vendors publish, not a hands-on test, so it carries no scores. It covers the AI visibility tools whose pricing pages this site recorded between 24 September and 21 October 2026.

The bar. A tool qualifies if its own pages say it tracks how a brand is mentioned or cited by at least three AI answer engines, and if it publishes the price of a plan a team can buy without a sales call. Nine tools besides Otterly.AI were checked. Profound fails the second test: for brands it shows a 7-day trial and then an Enterprise plan by quote. Eight remain, so the list has eight.

The order. We ranked against the three engines Otterly.AI sells as add-ons: Gemini, Google AI Mode and Claude.

1. Tools with a plan that covers all three with no add-on fee come first: Cituna, Rankscale, Ahrefs Brand Radar and AthenaHQ.
2. Tools whose entry plan covers some of the three, but not Claude: Peec AI, SE Visible and the Semrush toolkit.
3. Tools whose entry plan covers none of the three: Scrunch.

Within each group, the lowest price for a plan that bills monthly and gives that coverage comes first. That puts Rankscale on its $99 Pro plan, because its $17 Essentials plan is sold yearly only, and Ahrefs on the $199 Brand Radar AI plan, which is the one listed with Claude and every other platform. SE Visible sits ahead of the Semrush toolkit at the same $99 because its page lists five engines to the toolkit's four. Our wider approach to rival claims is in our guide to SaaS alternatives and comparison pages.

Picks by need

• Gemini, Claude and AI Mode without add-ons, for less than Otterly.AI Lite with those add-ons: Cituna, $49 a month for 10 buyer prompts on seven engines, with the fixes written.
• More prompts than Lite's 15, under $100: SE Visible Basic tracks 200 for $99, Peec AI Starter 50 for $95, and the Semrush toolkit 25 for $99.
• The longest engine list: Rankscale, more than 17 engines, paid in credits from $99 a month on Pro.
• A free plan: AthenaHQ's Essential plan, with $25 of credit.
• Agencies running several clients: Cituna Max covers 10 brands at $399 a month, Rankscale Growth adds white-label dashboards at $385, and SE Visible Basic holds 3 projects from $99. Otterly.AI's own answer is unlimited workspaces on Standard, at $189.
• A suite you already pay for: Ahrefs plans from $129 a month include 5 tracked AI prompts, and the Semrush toolkit adds AI visibility to a Semrush account for $99.

The 8 alternatives

1. Cituna

Cituna asks seven engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode) the questions buyers put to them about a market, once a day, and logs which brands each answer names and which pages it cites. Where a competitor is named and you are not, it drafts the fix, such as schema, FAQ markup, an llms.txt file or an article, and can publish it to WordPress, Shopify, Sanity, a GitHub repository or any CMS through a signed webhook. It also lists the sites the engines cite as outreach targets and joins its findings to Google Search Console.

Against Otterly.AI the trade is prompts for engines and actions: Lite gives 15 prompts on four engines and three recommendations a week, while Cituna Starter gives 10 prompts on seven engines and writes the change for each gap.

• Best for: a team that wants Gemini, Claude and AI Mode tracked from the first plan, and the gaps fixed rather than only listed.
• What it costs (read 21 October 2026): Starter, $49 a month billed monthly: 1 brand, 10 buyer prompts, all seven engines daily, 30 AI-written articles a month and read-only API and MCP access. Pro, $119 a month: 3 brands, 30 prompts, alerts and competitor tracking. Max, $399 a month: 10 brands, 90 prompts. Billed yearly, each plan costs 10 months' price for 12 months: $490, $1,190 or $3,990 a year. The 3-day trial needs a card and rolls into Starter unless cancelled.
• Where it falls short: it does not track Microsoft Copilot, which Otterly.AI Lite does. There is no free plan, competitor tracking starts on Pro, and cancelling does not refund a part month.

If you want to see which of the seven engines name you for your own buyer questions, start the Cituna free trial. If you would rather a team ran that work for you, book a 30-minute call with us.

2. Rankscale

Rankscale tracks more than 17 engines, from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity to Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot and both of Google's AI surfaces. You buy credits and decide how often each prompt runs, anywhere from hourly to monthly, which suits a team that wants a few prompts checked often and many checked rarely. Page audits, citation and sentiment analysis and an MCP server come with every plan.

• Best for: covering engines Otterly.AI does not offer at all, such as Grok, DeepSeek and Mistral; agencies that need white-label reports.
• What it costs (read 17 October 2026): Pro is $99 a month on monthly billing ($84 yearly) for 1,200 credits and 10 brand dashboards, with a 7-day trial. Essentials is $17 a month but billed yearly only, at $204. Pro+ is $229, Growth $385 and Enterprise $780 a month on monthly billing.
• Where it falls short: costs move with the engine. A Claude check takes 2 credits and a DeepSeek check 1, where ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Mode take 0.25. The REST API starts on Pro+ and white-label dashboards on Growth.

3. Ahrefs Brand Radar

Ahrefs Brand Radar works from a database of search-backed prompts that Ahrefs runs through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, AI Overviews and AI Mode, so any brand can be looked up with no setup. Its Brand Radar AI plan adds tracked prompts on every platform, Claude included, and Brand Radar also reports YouTube, TikTok and Reddit results.

• Best for: an established brand comparing its AI share of voice with rivals before it writes a single prompt.
• What it costs (read 24 September 2026): Brand Radar AI, with the AI Visibility Index, from $199 a month and 83 tracked prompts a day. Custom prompt packages alone run $50 (2,500 checks), $100 (7,000) or $250 (25,000) a month. Ahrefs Lite, Standard and Advanced, at $129, $249 and $449 a month, include 5, 10 or 20 tracked AI prompts.
• Where it falls short: no Brand Radar trial. Ahrefs warns that the Index can be thin for brands with little search volume, and its question sets are re-run monthly over a 90-day window. A Claude update uses 8 checks on custom prompts.

4. AthenaHQ

AthenaHQ covers 11 models on its paid plan, including Gemini, Claude, Google AI Mode, Grok, DeepSeek, Meta AI and Mistral, and counts usage in credits, one per AI response. Beyond tracking it offers source and competitor insights, content recommendations, a content optimisation agent and Google Analytics and Search Console integrations.

• Best for: starting free, then moving to a plan with the widest fixed model list here.
• What it costs (read 24 September 2026): Essential is free with $25 of credit (300 credits) on five engines; the page does not say whether it renews. Starter is $295 a month on monthly billing, or $245 on annual billing, for 3,600 credits a month.
• Where it falls short: the step from free to paid is $295 a month, about ten times Otterly.AI Lite. API access and extra credits are add-ons priced on request, and multi-region tracking is Enterprise-only.

5. Peec AI

Peec AI prices its plans by the number of prompts it runs each day and lets you pick the models, from a list that includes ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews and Copilot. Every plan has unlimited users. It analyses the sources answers cite, suggests prompts, and runs a gap analysis with recommended actions.

• Best for: an SEO or content team that has outgrown 15 prompts and wants everyone on the account.
• What it costs (read 17 October 2026): Starter is $95 a month on monthly billing ($80 annual) for 50 prompts on 3 models. Pro is $245 for 150 prompts and Advanced $495 for 350. Each extra model costs $35 a month on Starter.
• Where it falls short: Claude, Grok, DeepSeek and Mistral are tracked only on the custom Enterprise plan, as are API access and SSO. There is no free plan.

6. SE Visible

SE Visible, from SE Ranking, runs prompts daily on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews, and records mentions, sentiment, competitors and the domains and URLs cited. It collects answers through each platform's own interface rather than an API, and every plan has unlimited users.

• Best for: the biggest prompt allowance on this list under $100, for marketing and PR teams reporting how AI answers describe a brand.
• What it costs (read 24 September 2026): Basic is $99 a month on monthly billing ($79 annual) for 200 prompts and 3 projects. Core is $189 for 450 prompts and 5 projects, the same monthly price as Otterly.AI Standard's 100 prompts. Plus is $355, sold through a demo. A 10-day trial is offered.
• Where it falls short: Claude is listed as coming soon, and country tracking covers seven countries in five languages. There is no free plan.

7. Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit

The Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit scores a brand's AI visibility against competitors, tracks chosen prompts each day on platforms such as ChatGPT and Google AI Mode, and audits whether AI crawlers can read a site. Its competitor research shows the prompts where rivals are cited and you are not.

• Best for: a team already in Semrush that wants AI answers in the same account as its SEO data.
• What it costs (read 24 September 2026): $99 a month for 25 prompts and 1 domain for Brand Performance reports. Semrush One Starter, bundling SEO and AI visibility, is $199 a month on monthly billing for 50 daily prompts.
• Where it falls short: no free trial of the toolkit. Fifty more prompts cost $60 a month, each user needs a licence, and Brand Performance reports update weekly.

8. Scrunch

Scrunch monitors prompts, citations, competitors and sentiment, and audits how AI agents read a site. Its Enterprise plan adds an Agent Experience Platform that serves agents an optimised version of the site while people see the normal pages. Its about page says Sitecore acquired it in 2026 and that it still runs as a standalone product.

• Best for: larger brands with several teams, or that want control over what AI agents read.
• What it costs (read 24 September 2026): Core is $250 a month for 125 prompts, 4 platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Copilot), 5 site audits, 1 brand workspace and 5 users, with a 7-day trial. Agency Core is $500 a month, and Enterprise is custom.
• Where it falls short: Core covers the same four engines as Otterly.AI Lite, so it does not solve the add-on question. API, MCP, SSO and the Agent Experience Platform are Enterprise-only.
