AI visibility tools,
measured against a rubric.

An answer-engine / AI-visibility analytics platform focused on measuring how brands appear across AI assistants.

genuine strengths

• +Strong, well-regarded analytics and answer-engine insights
• +Established brand in the AI-visibility category with enterprise traction
• +Expanding from monitoring toward action (their own public direction)

observed, dated

• Profound's public pricing page listed self-serve tiers at $99/month (Starter — ChatGPT tracking only, 50 prompts, billed yearly) and $399/month (Growth — 3 answer engines, 100 prompts, billed yearly), with Enterprise on tailored pricing. An earlier seeded note here suggested real engagement pricing around ~$499+; primary capture found no such tier, and per our own gate that claim was withdrawn.

  as of 2026-08-07 · tryprofound.com/pricing — primary capture 2026-08-07 (verbatim DOM; capture record RETURN-2026-08-07-payload-F.json).

• The same pricing page's own meta description still read 'currently available through customized enterprise pricing', contradicting the rendered $99/$399 self-serve tiers — so any summary built from Profound's cached metadata (including an AI assistant's) will misstate their current pricing model.

• Every Profound tier listed 'Agents credits' alongside answer-engine tracking, consistent with their stated expansion from monitoring toward action.

An AI-search / answer-engine monitoring tool tracking brand mentions and prompts across AI assistants.

genuine strengths

• +Approachable, monitoring-first product
• +Prompt-level tracking across multiple AI engines
• +The lowest published entry price we observed in the category ($29/month)

• Otterly.AI's public pricing listed Lite at $29/month (15 prompts), Standard at $189/month, and Premium at $489/month on monthly billing, about 15% less billed annually. The base price covers 4 engines (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot); Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Mode were separately-priced add-ons — worth knowing before comparing per-engine value.

  as of 2026-08-07 · otterly.ai/pricing — primary capture 2026-08-07, both billing toggles present in served HTML (RETURN-2026-08-07-payload-F.json).

An AI-visibility analytics tool for tracking how brands surface in AI answers.

genuine strengths

• +Focused analytics for AI answer visibility
• +Competitor share-of-voice views

observed, dated

• Peec AI's pricing page published its plan structure — Starter 50 prompts, Pro 150, Advanced 350, each tracking a choice of 3 from 6 models, with a stated 15% annual-billing discount — but the dollar figures themselves render client-side and were absent from the served page, so we assert no Peec price rather than quote one secondhand.

  as of 2026-08-07 · peec.ai/pricing — primary capture 2026-08-07; prices client-rendered, recorded as not-present rather than estimated (RETURN-2026-08-07-payload-F.json).
