Best Peec AI Alternatives for AI Visibility Tracking in 2026

If you are leaving Peec because Perplexity is not one of the three models on a self-serve plan, start with Otterly or Scrunch. Otterly is the published daily log for ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Copilot, and it sells Gemini as an add-on. Scrunch Core is the published log when Perplexity has to be in the base price and you also want a small site audit, with one country and five competitors as the gates. Stay on Peec when the three models you actually need are already in its self-serve list, especially Gemini and Google AI Mode, and when unlimited competitors matter more than a fourth engine. Goodie, AthenaHQ, and Writesonic are the picks when the invoice has to include actions, a credit that equals one response, or a counted pile of articles. Ahrefs and Semrush are the picks when the team already pays for the suite and the engines on that card are the ones in the brief. Profound is the quote when the buying process is a security review and you can live with a trial you cannot edit.

I am Austin Heaton. The visibility work I set up is mostly for fintech. The rest is B2B SaaS and other industries when the buyer question is the same. A login is worth opening when I can see who was mentioned, which URL was cited, and which sentence a writer is about to ship. A share-of-voice figure without those rows is not a plan. Leaving a tool you already understand, for a logo wall, is how teams end up paying twice.

Peec's brand cards and the comparison table are from Peec's brand pricing page, read on 10 November 2026. The agency credit pools, pitch caps, and annual figures are from Peec's agency pricing page the same day. The once-every-24-hours sentence is from Peec's help article on prompts, which I am citing for cadence, not as a promise that every named platform is on Starter. Otterly's cards are from Otterly's pricing page. Scrunch's Core card is from Scrunch's pricing page, and the longer walk-through is the Scrunch review. Profound's trial terms are from Profound's pricing page. Goodie's cards are from Goodie's pricing page. AthenaHQ's credits are from AthenaHQ's plans page. Writesonic's annual cards and the FAQ that names eight platforms are from Writesonic's pricing page. Ahrefs' check counts are from Ahrefs pricing. Semrush's toolkit column is from the AI Visibility Toolkit pricing page. I did not log into any of them.

The cell-by-cell versions already on this site are not being rewritten here. Peec beside Scrunch is Peec AI vs Scrunch. The four-tool shortlist is Profound vs Peec AI vs Otterly vs Semrush. Profound's own alternatives page is Profound alternatives. Otterly's plan math is the Otterly review. Goodie beside Profound is Goodie vs Profound. AthenaHQ beside Profound is AthenaHQ vs Profound. Writesonic beside Profound is Writesonic GEO vs Profound. Ahrefs' index card is the Brand Radar review. Semrush One beside the toolkit is the Semrush AI Toolkit review. Where a pricing page I opened on 10 November still matched an earlier read, I say so. I am not pasting an older invoice forward when I did not reopen the URL.

Key Takeaways

• On 10 November 2026 Peec's brand cards were Starter at $95 a month for 50 prompts, Pro at $245 for 150, and Advanced at $495 for 350. Each self-serve plan lets you run 3 models, chosen from ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, and Naver. Perplexity is not in that set. The table's monthly AI answers are 4,500, 13,500, and 31,500, which matches prompts times 3 models times 30 days. Countries are 1, then 3, then 3. Competitors and users are unlimited. The FAQ says annual billing is 15% off. I did not see annual dollar amounts on the brand cards.
• Enterprise says up to 13 models. I counted 14 names in the Enterprise cell: the six self-serve models, plus Claude Sonnet 4, GPT-5 Search, Grok, Deepseek, Qwen, Mistral, and Muse Spark, all marked API, plus Perplexity. I am not dropping a name to make the card true. An additional-models block lists Perplexity as something you can add. The only dollars I could attach were a $30 a month line whose plan name did not survive the extract, and $140 a month under an Advanced heading. I will not assign $30 to Starter.
• Otterly the same day still showed Lite at $29, Standard at $189, and Premium at $489, with Perplexity in the base four. Scrunch Core was $250 for 125 prompts on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Copilot, limited to 1 country and 5 competitors. Profound was still a free 7-day trial of 50 prompts on ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI Overviews, with no paid self-serve brand price and no prompt editing. Goodie's displayed cards were Core at $295 a month and Pro at $999, next to an annual control. AthenaHQ Starter was $295, with 3,600 credits defined as one credit per response.
• Writesonic's annual cards were $79, $199, and $399 a month, tracking ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews on the self-serve plans. The FAQ says Enterprise tracks 8 platforms and names Perplexity there, not on the cheap cards. It does not name Copilot in that list. Ahrefs Lite, Standard, and Advanced were $129, $249, and $449, with 150, 300, and 600 checks on AI prompts. Semrush's toolkit was $99 a month per domain, billed annually, for 25 prompts and mentions from ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, and Perplexity.
• The useful split is whose prompts they are, which engines you can name before a call, whether Perplexity is inside the plan you can buy, and whether a writing credit is bundled into the measurement invoice. Peec is often the right stay, not the thing to replace. None of these products is a citation guarantee.

What People Are Actually Replacing When They Search for a Peec Alternative

Peec's brand page is a prompt log with a measurement layer and a thin action layer, not a mystery quote. Starter, Pro, and Advanced are on the page. Unlimited users are on every card. Tracking is daily. You pick 3 models. The FAQ says an AI answer is one chat result per model, and it shows the multiplication: 25 prompts across 3 models for 30 days is 2,250 answers. The table's own Starter cell is 4,500, which is 50 times 3 times 30. I am citing Peec's arithmetic, not a sample I pulled. A help article says prompts run once every 24 hours. That cadence matches the daily row. The same article mentions ChatGPT and Perplexity as examples of platforms. I am not treating that sentence as the Starter engine list. The pricing table is the list.

So the reasons to leave are narrower than "Peec has no price." The price is public. The reasons I actually see are these. Perplexity is outside the three you can turn on. A fourth model is an add-on whose dollar did not stay attached to every plan name in the text I extracted. Starter is one country, and Pro and Advanced stop at three, even though the FAQ says a country or language you track has no extra fee. The fee is not the issue. The count is. Fact-checking is capped at 5 prompts and 5 facts on Starter, 10 and 20 on Pro, 25 and 50 on Advanced. That is not an audit of every answer. API access starts on Pro. Looker Studio starts on Advanced. SSO is Enterprise. The card says up to 13 models and the cell lists more names than 13.

There is also a reason not to leave. The self-serve list already includes Gemini, Google AI Mode, and Copilot. Competitors are unlimited, which Scrunch Core does not offer. Shopping is printed on every column: a product catalog from Shopify, a CSV, or Google Merchant Center, plus SKU-level visibility, position, and win rate. Crawl insights are printed as 4.5 million, 13.5 million, and 31.5 million bot visits. A crawlability audit of 40 or more bots is marked on every plan. CSV export and MCP are on Starter. If the gap you have is not on that list, another subscription will not fix it. It will add a second login.

I care about four objects inside whichever login you pick. The mention: did the answer name the brand. The citation: did the answer attach a URL, and whose URL. The engine list on the plan you can buy without a call. The row you can open on Monday, including the stored answer if the product keeps one. I did not open a stored answer in any of these products on 10 November 2026. Peec's pricing page also carries customer quotes about traffic and rankings. I did not audit those stories, and I am not using them as a reason to stay or to leave.

How Do the Alternatives Compare?

The table is the decision. Prices are what I could read on 10 November 2026. "Before a quote" means a plan with a dollar on a public card. Peec is the last row so the gap stays visible. I am not converting annual toggles into monthly prices the page did not print.

If two of those rows are about to be bought because the engine lists do not overlap, Book a Call and bring one prompt the buyer actually asks. The prompt shows which card is even eligible.

What Peec Includes Before You Decide to Leave

I am writing this section so the alternative is a real gap, not a vibe. On 10 November the brand table marked the same discovery tools on Starter, Pro, Advanced, and Enterprise: brand context, a prompt-volume score from 1 to 5, competitor suggestions, topic suggestions, and prompt suggestions. Prompt management is also on every column: prompts from keywords, personas, bulk import, sub-brand tracking, regions and languages, topics and tags, a branded versus non-branded classification, and an intent classification of informational, commercial, or transactional. You are not paying Pro to unlock the idea of a prompt. You are paying for more prompts, a second project, and, at Advanced, the third through fifth project plus Looker.

The measure block is similarly wide on day one. Visibility, position, sentiment, and share of voice are on Starter. So are brand insights, an ads library for sponsored placements inside answers, and local GEO. Source analytics, including domain and URL detail, subdomains, fan-out, retrievals, citation share, and a source classification into categories such as competitor, editorial, reference, or UGC, are marked included on every column. Gap analysis and recommended actions, split by earned and owned, are on every column. Agent actions are on every column. The agent itself includes 500 credits on Starter, 750 on Pro, and 1,000 on Advanced, with company context, project context, user memory, skills, and custom skills marked on. I did not run an agent, so I cannot tell you what one credit buys. I can tell you Peec printed a credit count, and it did not print an article count. Those are different objects. Writesonic prints articles. Peec prints credits.

The gates that are easy to miss sit under brand perception and under reporting. Custom attributes, which you define and then score, start on Advanced. Objections are off on Starter, monthly on Pro, and weekly on Advanced and Enterprise. Fact-checked prompts are 5, 10, and 25. Facts you set, which the table says are the reference the check uses, are 5, 20, and 50. If someone is leaving Peec because "it does not check whether the model is wrong," the replacement has to beat those caps, not merely show a sentiment chart. I have not found a self-serve plan on this page that fact-checks every prompt on every model every day. Enterprise says unlimited fact-checks, and Enterprise is a quote.

Countries are the other gate. The table says 1, 3, 3, and unlimited. The FAQ says you can track queries across any supported country or language with no additional cost, and that pricing stays tied to prompts. I am reading those sentences together, the same way I would read them on a call. The country you pick is included in the prompt price. The number of countries is still the table. A US product and a UK product do not both fit on Starter. Languages are marked unlimited on every column, which is a different row from Scrunch Core's one language. Projects are 1, 2, and 5. The FAQ says prompts can be shared across projects. I am not treating that as five full 350-prompt piles on Advanced. It is one allowance, allocated.

Security is a split I would put in the order form. The comparison table marks SOC 2 included on Starter, Pro, Advanced, and Enterprise. The FAQ says Peec holds a SOC 2 Type II report, and that customers on the custom plan can get the report through sales. A checkmark is not the PDF. If the security review is why you are shopping, ask for the report on the plan you will actually buy. SSO is Enterprise only. Google-style login is not listed as a Starter substitute for SSO on the rows I read. Role-based permissions are marked on every column.

The additional-models block is where Perplexity becomes a maybe. The models named there include ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Copilot, Perplexity, and Gemini, and the page says you can add them in the dashboard. One line says the price reflects one additional model based on the prompts in the plan, and the figure under that wording in the extract was $30 a month. A later Advanced heading repeats the same wording and shows $140 a month. I did not see a clean Starter price and a clean Pro price in the text. I will not invent them. I will not tell a Starter customer that Perplexity is $30. I will tell them to open the dashboard and read the line next to the plan they are on. Until that line is readable, Otterly and Scrunch are the alternatives that put Perplexity in the base price without an extra SKU.

Otterly, When Perplexity Has to Be in the Base Price

Otterly is the first card I open when the reason for leaving Peec is Perplexity, and the team can add Gemini later if the prompt lives there. On 10 November the monthly cards were still Lite at $29 for 15 prompts, Standard at $189 for 100, and Premium at $489 for 400. Enterprise is custom and starts from 1,000 prompts. The annual block printed $25, $160, and $422 a month under a 15% label. Premium at $422 is not 15% off $489. Fifteen percent off $489 is $415.65, and the page does not say $415.65. I am reporting the numbers on the page. I am not correcting them to a discount I calculated.

The four engines on Lite, Standard, and Premium are ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Copilot. That is the Peec gap, closed, on a price list. Gemini, Google AI Mode, and Claude are add-ons. The add-on table lists AI Mode and Gemini at $9, $59, and $149 a month on Lite, Standard, and Premium. Claude is $29, $109, and $439. Annual add-on figures are printed too: $93, $610, and $1,540 for AI Mode and for Gemini, and $300, $1,100, and $4,400 for Claude. Extra prompts are $99 per 100 on Standard and Premium, monthly, and $1,020 on the annual column. They are not available on Lite. The page says Standard can add up to 300 extra prompts and then moves to Premium. A seven-engine Otterly stack is the headline plus three add-ons. Peec Starter at $95 is three engines you chose, which can include Gemini, and 50 prompts. Otterly Lite at $29 is four engines, including Perplexity, and 15 prompts. They are not the same sample, and the cheaper one is the smaller one.

Two includes-lists on the same URL do not match. The monthly block I extracted listed unlimited brands and competitors on Lite. The annual block's Lite list did not repeat the brands line. Prompt counts and the four engine names were stable. I would confirm how many brands a Lite workspace holds before I used Otterly as the multi-brand escape from Peec's one-project Starter. Standard and Premium, in both blocks, describe unlimited workspaces. Lite is 1 workspace, 3 recommendations a week, and 1,000 GEO URL audits. Standard is 5,000 audits, a Data Studio connector, 2,000 API requests, 2,000 MCP requests, and 200,000 agent-analytics events. Premium raises those caps. Peec's API starts on Pro, at $245. Otterly's API starts on Standard, at $189. That is a real reason to move if the warehouse is the gap and Perplexity is also the gap. It is a bad reason to move if you needed Gemini inside the base price. Gemini is the add-on.

The pricing FAQ says there is a free trial and does not, in the text I extracted, say how many days. I did not reopen Otterly's homepage on 10 November, so I am not restating a day count from an earlier review as a page I confirmed today. The Otterly review is where the homepage FAQ was walked. Agency benefits are not a separate price. You subscribe to Standard or Premium and apply. The partner block says that path raises the prompt count to 150 on Standard and 500 on Premium, and that it includes pitch workspaces. I would not budget the extra prompts until the partner application says they are on.

Scrunch, When the Audit Is the Other Half of the Job

Scrunch Core is the alternative when Perplexity has to be in the price and you also want bot traffic and a few audits in the same login. On 10 November the brand card was $250 a month: 125 unique prompts, 5,000 responses, 5 site audits, 1 brand workspace, and 5 licenses. The engines are ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Copilot. The table limits Core to 1 country, 1 persona, 1 language, and 5 competitors. The sitemap is 25 pages. Page optimizations are 1 a month. Gemini and AI Mode are on the Enterprise list of nine, not on Core. The full read is the Scrunch review. I am not rebuilding the response-cap arithmetic here. The short version is that 125 prompts on four engines every day does not fit inside 5,000 responses, and Scrunch does not publish Peec's prompts-times-models-times-days formula.

Against Peec Pro, the bills are almost the same and the products are not. Pro is $245 for 150 prompts, 3 models you choose, 2 projects, and 3 countries, with unlimited competitors. Core is $250 for 125 prompts, four named engines that include Perplexity and exclude Gemini, 1 country, and 5 competitors. If the buyer question is in Perplexity and the site is one country, Core is the leave. If the buyer question is in Gemini or AI Mode, or the competitor slide has six logos, Core is a step backward from Peec. Five audits and 25 pages will not describe a large site. They will answer a narrower question than Peec's crawl-insight caps, which are in the millions of bot visits on the brand table. I have not compared the two products' bot logs in an account. I am comparing the caps they print.

Scrunch's pricing FAQ prices Agency Core at $500 a month and does not list the prompt allowance. Peec's agency page does list credit pools. If the shopper is an agency, that difference is enough to keep the conversation on Peec until Scrunch writes the caps down. I would not use a third-party allowance to fill Scrunch's blank.

Profound, When the Trial Is a Storage Test and Not a Prompt List

Profound is not a cheaper Peec. On 10 November the brand pricing page was a free trial and a custom Enterprise plan. The trial is 50 unique prompts, run daily for 7 days, on ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. One language. One region. The FAQ says trial users receive a recommended set and cannot customize it. Exports on the trial are none. History is none. Enterprise says up to 9 answer engines, and the capability list I read names ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini, DeepSeek, Anthropic Claude, Google AI Overviews, Exa Search, and Muse Spark. That is nine names. The trial is three of them. Perplexity is in the Enterprise list and not in the trial. I am not going to treat "up to 9" as a contents list you can assume on a quote until the order form repeats the names.

The page does not say whether each of the 50 trial prompts runs on all three engines. I am not multiplying 50 by 3 by 7. Agents are credits. The FAQ says the self-serve Agency Growth plan includes 400 credits a month per client workspace, and it does not put a dollar next to that pack. There is no paid self-serve brand price. A Scrunch guide I opened the same day prints Profound starting prices. Profound's own pricing page does not. I am not budgeting from the guide.

Use the trial if you need to see whether Profound stores an answer, on Profound's prompts, on three engines that happen to include Gemini. Do not use it as the replacement for a Peec prompt you wrote. Peec's whole product is the prompt you wrote. Profound's trial FAQ is explicit that the trial prompt is not yours. If the security review is the purchase, SSO and SAML plus SOC 2 are on Profound's Enterprise column, and that is a different conversation from a $95 tracker. The longer shortlist, with the same caution about engine names, is Profound alternatives.

Goodie and AthenaHQ, When the Invoice Has to Include an Action

Goodie is the alternative when you want Perplexity and Google AI Mode on a published card, a counted action allowance, and you can accept that Gemini is not on Core. On 10 November the page showed a monthly control and an annual control labeled two months free. The figures displayed with that annual control were Core at $295 a month and Pro at $999 a month. Enterprise is custom. I did not extract a separate month-to-month price. I will not gross those figures up and call the result a monthly invoice.

Core's engine column names ChatGPT, AI Overview, Perplexity, AI Mode, and Copilot. Pro adds Gemini, Alexa, and Sparky. Tracked prompts are 110 and 250. The comparison block also prints countries at 2, 5, and 8 or more, and languages at the same counts. That country row is the cleanest Goodie advantage over Peec Starter, which is one country, and it is not an advantage over Peec Pro, which is three countries at $245 if you can live without Perplexity. Actions are 50 and 100 a month. The card's wording is "optimizations." The comparison block says actions. I am treating them as the same line because they share the 50 and 100 counts, and I would confirm the noun in the order form. Page scorecards are 10 and 30 pages, then 60 or more on Enterprise. Agent tokens are 40 million, 100 million, and 300 million or more. Goodie's FAQ says a token is a unit of agent work, not a fixed article, and that a deeper question uses more. I am not converting tokens into posts.

The enterprise column names 13 engines in the list I counted: ChatGPT, AI Overview, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, AI Mode, Copilot, Meta, DeepSeek, Grok, Alexa, Sparky, and Muse. The card says up to 14. The FAQ says "all 14 engines." I am not inventing the fourteenth. Core is the self-serve plan. The FAQ says Pro and Enterprise start with a conversation, and that you can swap prompts up to the cap. If you leave Peec Starter for Goodie Core, you gain Perplexity, AI Mode, a second country, and 50 actions, and you pay $295 on the card I saw instead of $95. You do not gain Gemini. Peec Starter can already name Gemini inside its three. Run that sentence past the person who asked to switch.

AthenaHQ is the alternative when you want a credit the vendor defines, and a model claim wider than three, at $295. On 10 November Essential was free, with a "$25 free credit" label, and Starter was $295 a month. The comparison table puts 3,600 credits on Starter and says 1 credit equals 1 AI response. If that definition holds, 3,600 responses is the month. I did not divide it by engines in an account, so I will not tell you it equals 3,600 prompts. The Starter card also prints "$300/month free credit" under the $295 price. I still cannot tell whether that is a grant, a promotion, or a label that does not match the 3,600. I am not converting the Essential card's $25 into a credit count either. The card did not print one.

The Starter card says visibility across 11 models. The monitoring section names ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Grok, and then says "and more." That is eight names. Perplexity and Gemini both appear in the eight, which is the combination Peec's self-serve three cannot hold together with a fourth and a fifth unless you buy add-ons I could not fully price. I am not inventing the other three model names to make "11" true. CSV export is on the Starter card. API access is a paid add-on. A monitoring fragment on the page read "Single" where a country scope might sit, and the column header did not survive the extract. The Starter card says "country-level support" and does not say one country and does not say sixty. I would ask. The 5 November comparison is AthenaHQ vs Profound. Country scope is still the question I would re-ask, because today's extract did not settle it.

Writesonic, When the Same Invoice Has to Include Articles

Writesonic is the alternative when the team wants Gemini on a published plan and a counted article allowance, and it can wait on Perplexity. On 10 November the pricing page was on the annual view. Starter was $79 a month, billed annually, with a $240 a year savings line. Basic was $199, save $600. Growth was $399, save $1,200. The FAQ says annual billing saves 20% and that you pay for 12 months up front. I did not see a separate monthly dollar. I am not grossing the annual cards up by 25% and calling that a monthly price.

Starter tracks ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, with 50 prompts and 50 answers a day, 15 articles, 10 audits of 100 pages, 10 agent runs, 1 user, and 1 market. Basic is 100 prompts, 300 answers a day, 25 articles, 20 audits of 1,200 pages, and 2 users. Growth is 200 prompts, 600 answers, sentiment included, an Action Center trial of 5 off-page and 5 on-page actions, 50 articles, 50 audits of 2,500 pages, 3 users, and 2 projects. The FAQ says Basic and Growth track those three engines, and that Enterprise tracks all 8 platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, and Muse Spark. I counted eight. Copilot is not in that sentence. An older comparison on this site described a longer Enterprise list. I am budgeting the FAQ I read on 10 November, not the older sentence. The Starter card lists the same three engines. Sentiment is on Growth, not on Starter. The Action Center is marked available on Enterprise, with a trial on Growth. Self-serve markets are 1.

Peec Starter is $95 for 50 prompts and 3 models you choose, which can include Gemini, and it does not include 15 articles. Writesonic Starter is $79 a month on the annual card for 50 prompts on three named engines that include Gemini and exclude Perplexity, plus 15 articles. That is the leave when the gap is "I need drafts in the same invoice, and Gemini is the engine." It is a weak leave when the gap is Perplexity. Perplexity is in the Enterprise sentence. The FAQ also says Growth can add articles at $100 for 20, and that extra users are $50 a month, with a maximum of 5 users. Basic can add up to 3 users. Growth can add up to 2. No credit card is required to start, according to the FAQ, and there is a 7-day refund. I did not complete a checkout. One market on the self-serve rows is a harder country gate than Peec Pro's three. Read it before you switch a two-country account.

Ahrefs and Semrush, When You Already Pay for the Suite

Ahrefs is the alternative when the team already works in Ahrefs and the job is a set of prompts you wrote, paid for in checks. On 10 November the pricing page showed Lite at $129 a month with 150 checks on AI prompts, Standard at $249 with 300 checks and 2,000 tracked keywords, and Advanced at $449 with 600 checks and 5,000 tracked keywords. Additional users were $40, $60, and $80 a month. Annual billing says save up to 17%. Content Kit starts at $99. The page says you can research a brand across 551 million or more organic prompts in Ahrefs' database. I did not reopen the Brand Radar URL, so I am not restating the index card, the all-models line, or the custom-prompt package ladder as a page I opened today. Those figures, and the help-article definition of a check, are the 8 November review. What I can say from the pricing page alone is that the three main plans still include a check allowance, and that a check allowance is not Peec's 4,500 monthly answers. One check, in that earlier help article, was one prompt, one model, and one location. I am not re-certifying the definition as a page I opened on 10 November. I am saying do not divide 150 checks by 30 and call it Peec Starter.

Semrush is the alternative when the team wants 25 daily prompts, Perplexity and Gemini in the same mention list, and a published toolkit price. On 10 November the toolkit page showed Base at $99 a month per domain, billed annually. The card lists 25 custom prompts, one domain for Brand Performance, and mentions from ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, and Perplexity. A details block says 300 reports a day. I did not find Copilot in that column. I also did not reopen the Semrush One pricing page, so I am not pasting bundle prices from the 7 November review into today's invoice. Twenty-five prompts is a sample. It is not Peec Pro's 150. It is a reasonable leave only when the SEO team already lives in Semrush and the brief fits in 25 prompts. The suite path fails when someone treats "we have Ahrefs" or "we have Semrush" as if every engine on a Peec Enterprise slide were included. Match the names. The reporting comparison is Ahrefs vs SEMrush for AI search reporting.

Peec's Agency Pools, If the "Alternative" Is Really a Roster

A brand with one project does not need the agency page. A roster does. On 10 November Peec's agency page printed dollars, including annual dollars the brand cards did not. Essential is 10,000 credits at $245 a month, or $205 a month billed annually, which the table says saves $480 a year. A 15,000-credit Essential option is $345 a month, or $290 annually. Growth is 25,000 credits at $495, or $420 annually, and 35,000 credits at $695, or $590 annually. Scale is 65,000 credits at $795, or $675 annually, and 85,000 credits at $1,195, or $1,015 annually. Comprehensive is custom. The same table prints euro prices for Europe. Essential's 10,000-credit euro line is €205 a month and €175 annually. I am not converting euros to dollars. A European invoice should use the euro row, not the US row with a silent exchange rate.

The prompt counts printed under the cards, 111, 277, and 722 in the blocks I could read, sit under an example configuration. The page says the prompt amount depends on the models and the frequency you select. I am not treating those counts as a contractual cap. I am treating the credit pools as the offer. Monthly AI answers on the comparison table are 9,990, 24,930, and 64,980, next to the 10,000, 25,000, and 65,000 credit pools. They are close to the pools and they are not the pools. I will not round them together.

Active models are marked unlimited on the agency columns. Available models are not "everything." Essential and Growth list ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Copilot, Gemini, and Naver. Perplexity is not in that list. Scale adds Perplexity and the API models: Claude Sonnet 4, Grok, GPT-5 Search, Deepseek, Qwen, Mistral, and Muse Spark. An agency that buys Essential to escape Peec's three-model cap can run more than three of the six, and it still cannot run Perplexity until Scale. Countries stay 1, 3, and 3. Live client projects are 3, 10, and 25. Pitch projects are 3, 5, and 7, for 7 days, with 25, 50, and 75 prompts. Comprehensive says 10 pitch projects and 200 prompts. Data Studio dashboards start on Scale. Custom attributes start on Growth. Objections are monthly on Essential and weekly after that. Fact-checked prompts are 10, 25, and 50. If the agency's complaint about brand Starter was the fact-check cap, Essential's 10 is the same number as brand Pro, not a different product.

That page is the honest alternative to "we should leave Peec for an agency tool." Often the move is from brand Starter to agency Essential, inside Peec, once you have three client projects and you still do not need Perplexity. Leaving for Scrunch Agency Core at $500, without a printed prompt cap, is a harder case to make than leaving for Otterly Standard when Perplexity is the actual gap.

Which Limits Actually Change the Decision?

Four limits matter more than the category label.

The first is Perplexity versus Gemini. Peec's self-serve three can include Gemini and cannot include Perplexity. Otterly's base four include Perplexity and sell Gemini. Scrunch Core includes Perplexity and does not include Gemini. Goodie Core includes Perplexity and AI Mode and does not include Gemini. Writesonic's self-serve plans include Gemini and name Perplexity on Enterprise. Semrush's toolkit names both Perplexity and Gemini, on 25 prompts, and does not name Copilot in the sentence I read. Profound's trial includes Gemini and excludes Perplexity. If you only remember one rule from this page, make it this one. An alternative that drops the engine the buyer uses is a step backward from a $95 plan that at least had that engine.

The second is whose prompts they are, and how many models run. Peec brand plans are explicit: your prompts, three models, daily, and the monthly answer count is the product of those choices. Profound's trial is explicit in the other direction: not your prompts. Otterly, Scrunch, Goodie, Writesonic, and Semrush sell a count of prompts. Athena sells unlimited topics and prompts, then meters responses as credits. Goodie's FAQ says you can swap prompts up to the cap. I have not clicked any of those editors. A count on a pricing page is not proof the box accepts the fee question a sales team heard on Tuesday.

The third is the file and the country count. Peec marks CSV on every brand column and holds the API until Pro. Profound's trial export is none. Athena marks CSV on Starter. Semrush's toolkit is a report inside Semrush, and I did not confirm a warehouse export from the toolkit page alone. Countries: Peec Starter is 1 and Pro is 3. Scrunch Core is 1. Goodie Core's comparison block says 2. Writesonic's self-serve rows say 1 market. Otterly's includes list says unlimited countries, and I would still confirm that a second country does not consume a second prompt pile in a way the page did not spell out. The pricing FAQ on Otterly talks about markets as a reason you need more prompts. Unlimited countries is not unlimited free coverage of every market inside 15 prompts.

The fourth is the page someone has to ship. Peec's path from a gap to a draft is recommended actions plus an agent credit, with no article count. Goodie prints action credits. Athena prints a content agent beside the credits. Writesonic prints 15, 25, or 50 articles on the annual cards. Ahrefs' Content Kit is a separate add-on from $99, and I am not reviewing it here. A posting product that publishes on a schedule is a different risk, which is why that comparison is Koala AI vs Outrank and not a row in this table. Do not let a visibility vendor's agent publish a fee table unsupervised.

On a fintech shortlist, Austin Heaton still asks for one stored answer before the invoice is approved. The answer has to show the brand, the URL, and the engine. A score without that row can wait. If the sentence can move money, a person reads it. Pricing for that kind of engagement depends on scope.

Honest Verdict: Who Should Leave, and Who Should Stay on Peec

Stay on Peec Starter when the three models you need are inside ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Copilot, Gemini, and Naver, when one country is enough, and when 50 prompts will cover the category you can actually serve. Move to Pro when you need a second or third country, a second project, or the API, and when 150 prompts is the real list. Move to Advanced when you need Looker, more than two projects, or custom attributes. Move to the agency page when you have a roster and you can live without Perplexity until Scale. Do not leave Peec because a competitor's blog printed a lower Peec price. Peec's own monthly cards are $95, $245, and $495. The 15% annual line is a FAQ sentence, not a second set of brand-card dollars.

Leave for Otterly when Perplexity has to be in the base plan and you will read the add-on table before you add Gemini. Standard, at $189 for 100 prompts, is the first Otterly plan I would actually try to run a category on. Leave for Scrunch Core when Perplexity plus a 25-page look at the site is worth $250 and five competitors are enough. Do not leave for Scrunch if Gemini is required on day one. Leave for Goodie Core when you want Perplexity, AI Mode, two countries, and 50 actions, and you have accepted the $295 figure on the annual view I saw. Leave for AthenaHQ when a 3,600-response credit and a CSV, at $295, beat another year of three models, and someone has asked which models are hiding behind "11." Leave for Writesonic when Gemini and a monthly article count have to be on one annual invoice, and Perplexity is a later conversation. Leave for Ahrefs or Semrush only when the check count or the 25 prompts cover the brief and the engine names match. Use Profound's trial as a storage test. Use Profound's Enterprise conversation when procurement is the product. Do not describe the trial as a Peec replacement. The prompts are not yours, Perplexity is not in it, and the week ends.

I would not buy two of these to "cover the gaps." I would buy the one whose base engines match the prompts, and I would keep Peec when it already matches. A second dashboard does not create a citation. The page does. How that log fits a B2B report is how I measure AI visibility.

Which Should You Choose?

• You need Perplexity on a published price, and Gemini can be an add-on. Otterly. Start on Standard if 15 prompts cannot cover the category. Read the annual figure on the screen. Premium's annual number does not equal 15% off the monthly card.
• You need Perplexity and a short audit, in one country, with five competitors or fewer. Scrunch Core. Do not promise daily runs of all 125 prompts on all four engines until the response cap is explained. If you need Gemini as well, Core is the wrong row.
• You need Gemini and AI Mode inside three models, and Perplexity can wait. Stay on Peec. Starter if one country is enough. Pro if you need three countries. Do not add a second tool to feel more covered.
• You need Perplexity and AI Mode together, plus a capped action list. Goodie Core, on the card I saw at $295 a month next to the annual control, if two countries and 110 prompts are enough. Gemini is Pro, and Pro is a conversation.
• You need a credit that equals a response, and a CSV, before a demo. AthenaHQ Starter. Ask which 11 models are included, in writing. Treat the "$300/month free credit" label as unresolved until Athena defines it.
• You need Gemini and a monthly article count on one invoice. Writesonic's annual Starter or Growth, after you accept that Perplexity is not on those cards and that the FAQ's Enterprise list has eight names and does not include Copilot. One market is the country gate.
• You already pay Ahrefs or Semrush. Use the check allowance or the $99 toolkit if the engines match. Open the dedicated rows above if they do not. Twenty-five Semrush prompts are not a 150-prompt Peec workspace.
• You run an agency roster and you do not need Perplexity yet. Price Peec's agency pools before you leave. Essential at $245 for 10,000 credits is a published multi-client plan. Perplexity shows up on Scale. Scrunch's $500 agency plan still needs its caps in writing.
• Procurement cannot start without SSO and a custom engine list. That is Peec Enterprise or Profound Enterprise, and it is a quote either way. Use a trial only as a storage test. Do not use Profound's trial as the prompt list you will report on next quarter.
• You actually needed pages, not a dashboard. Writesonic is the row with an article count. None of the rows should be turned on as an unattended publisher. A posting schedule is a separate decision.

What I Could Not Confirm

• Peec's annual dollar amounts on the brand cards. The FAQ says 15% off. The cards I read were monthly. The agency page does print annual dollars, and I used those only for the agency pools.
• Which plan the $30 additional-model line belongs to. The Advanced additional-model line I could read was $140 a month. I am not assigning $30 to Starter or Pro.
• Why the Enterprise card says up to 13 models when I counted 14 names in the cell.
• Peec customer stories on the pricing page, including claims about traffic and how fast a post was cited. They are on Peec's page. I did not audit them.
• The "4,000+" brands line on Peec's pricing page. I did not audit it.
• Otterly's trial length, on 10 November. The pricing FAQ says a trial exists and does not, in the extract, say how many days. I did not reopen the homepage.
• Whether Otterly Lite includes unlimited brands. The monthly includes block said so. The annual block did not repeat the line.
• Scrunch Agency Core's prompt, response, and workspace caps. The price is $500 a month on Scrunch's FAQ. The caps are not in that FAQ.
• A paid self-serve dollar for Profound. The offers I saw were a free trial and custom Enterprise.
• Whether each of Profound's 50 trial prompts runs on all three trial engines.
• Goodie's month-to-month price. I read Core at $295 and Pro at $999 beside an annual control labeled two months free.
• The Goodie model name that would turn a list of 13 into "up to 14."
• The three AthenaHQ model names that would turn eight, plus "and more," into 11.
• What AthenaHQ's "$300/month free credit" label means next to 3,600 credits, and whether "Single" on the monitoring section is a one-country cap.
• A monthly, non-annual dollar for Writesonic. The cards I extracted were annual. The FAQ says annual billing saves 20%.
• Copilot on Writesonic Enterprise. The 10 November FAQ list of eight platforms does not name it.
• Ahrefs' Brand Radar index price and the definition of a check, as pages I opened on 10 November. I opened the main pricing page. The 551 million figure is from that page. The index card is in the 8 November review.
• Semrush One prices, and a month-to-month toolkit price. I opened the toolkit page. The figure I saw was $99 a month per domain, billed annually.
• Any stored answer, export file, or prompt editor inside these products. I read the public pages. I did not create accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Peec AI alternative should a team open first?

Open Otterly or Scrunch when the gap is Perplexity on a plan you can price. Otterly's base plans include Perplexity, Copilot, ChatGPT, and Google AI Overviews. Scrunch Core includes the same four and adds a small audit, at $250, with one country and five competitors. Stay on Peec when Gemini, AI Mode, or Copilot is the engine you need and three models are enough. Open Goodie, AthenaHQ, or Writesonic when the invoice also has to include actions, a response credit, or articles. Open Ahrefs or Semrush when you already pay for the suite and the card names the engines. Profound remains a quote, plus a trial you cannot edit.

Does Peec include Perplexity on self-serve plans?

No. The brand table's self-serve models are ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, and Naver. You run three of them. Perplexity is on the Enterprise list and in an additional-models block. On the agency table, Perplexity is on Scale and Comprehensive, not on Essential or Growth. A help article mentions Perplexity as an example of a platform that can be checked every 24 hours. I am not treating that sentence as a Starter entitlement. The pricing table is the entitlement.

Does Peec publish its prices?

Yes. On 10 November, Starter was $95 a month for 50 prompts, Pro was $245 for 150, and Advanced was $495 for 350. Enterprise is custom. The FAQ says annual billing is 15% off, and the brand cards I read did not print the annual dollar. Agency Essential was $245 a month for 10,000 credits, or $205 billed annually. I am not treating the example prompt counts on the agency page as caps. They move with the models and the frequency you select.

Which alternatives include Perplexity before a sales call?

Otterly includes it on Lite, Standard, and Premium. Scrunch includes it on the $250 Core card. Goodie Core includes it. Semrush's toolkit names it among the mention sources on the $99 annual card. Peec's three-model set does not include it. Profound's 7-day trial does not include it. Writesonic's self-serve cards do not include it. Writesonic's FAQ puts Perplexity in the Enterprise list of eight platforms.

Do Ahrefs and Semrush replace Peec?

They replace it when the engines and the allowance on the plan you already pay for are the ones the board asked about. On 10 November, Ahrefs Lite, Standard, and Advanced included 150, 300, and 600 checks on AI prompts, at $129, $249, and $449. Semrush's toolkit was $99 a month per domain, billed annually, for 25 prompts and mentions from ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, and Perplexity. A check is not the same object as one of Peec's daily answers. If the brief is 150 prompts across three chosen models, the suite card is the wrong size.

Will any of these tools publish the page that gets cited?

Writesonic prints 15, 25, or 50 articles on the annual cards I read. Goodie prints 50 or 100 actions. Athena prints a content agent beside a credit it defines as one response. Peec prints recommended actions and 500, 750, or 1,000 agent credits, and it does not print an article quota. A draft still needs a person on a regulated page. A product whose job is to publish on a schedule is a different category, and it does not replace the log.

Can any of these products guarantee an AI citation?

No. They collect answers, citations, or both, on the engines and the caps their pages describe. Publishing the page, and being the URL a model repeats, are separate jobs. I would not put a citation promise in a client report because a vendor sold a dashboard. If you want the measurement designed around the prompts your buyers ask, pricing depends on scope.
