Cited is deliberately narrow. If you are an enterprise brand or an agency tracking dozens of clients, one of these may fit better.
The widest engine coverage in this list, plus SSO/SAML, SOC 2, API access and dedicated support for large teams.
More prompts per dollar at the entry tier, unlimited users, daily tracking, and agency pricing for managing many brands.
The lowest entry price here, daily tracking, unlimited team members, and GEO audits built in.
Sits inside the Semrush suite, so teams already using it for SEO get AI tracking next to their keyword and backlink data.
Profound does not publish a paid self-serve price. After a free trial, its paid plan is Enterprise with custom pricing, aimed at companies running AI search work at scale. Cited publishes its price: $97 a month for Pro, with all four engines on every plan and a 3 day free trial.
Every tool here measures whether AI answers mention you. Cited also writes the answer pages you are missing (Pro includes 8 a month) and, on Accelerator, our team does the outreach to the sites these engines quote, builds presence on Reddit, YouTube and Q&A, and chases placement in the best-of lists that get cited. None of the four competitors lists a done-for-you service on its pricing page.
Otterly.AI, at $29 a month for 15 prompts. Peec AI starts at $95 a month, Cited at $97, and the Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit at $99 a month per domain billed annually. Compare what each plan includes before price: prompt count, which engines, and whether anything gets fixed or only reported.
The free scan runs your buyer questions through all four engines and shows who gets named instead of you.
