Peec AI Alternatives (2026): 6 AI Visibility Tools, Ranked and Priced
If Peec AI's three-engine cap or $95-to-$245 jump is the problem, the best alternatives in 2026 are Frase (tracking plus a fix workflow from $39/mo), the Semrush AI Toolkit ($99/mo per domain if you own Semrush), and Otterly.AI ($29/mo to start). Peec itself is excellent at clean prompt tracking with unlimited seats; the reasons to leave are engine coverage, per-model add-on fees, and the absence of any page-fixing capability. All prices verified against vendor pages the week of August 3, 2026.
Peec pricing, verified
Prior write-ups conflicted between a €85/€205/€425 set and a €89/€95/€199/€245/€495 set. The conflict resolves to currency and brand-vs-agency plan mixing. Peec's own brand self-serve plans (peec.ai/pricing, rechecked August 2026) are: Starter $95/mo (≈€89) — 50 prompts, 3 engines, 1 project; Pro $245/mo (≈€205) — 150 prompts, 2 projects, 3 countries; Advanced $495/mo (≈€425) — 350 prompts, 5 projects, Looker Studio; Enterprise custom (adds Claude, GPT-5 Search, API/SSO). Unlimited seats on every tier; 15% off annually; 7-day trial, no card. A fourth engine is a paid add-on ($35/$85/$165 by tier).
The 6 best Peec AI alternatives, compared
| Rank | Tool | Best for | Engines | Entry price | Free tier? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Frase | Track + fix | 5 major | $39/mo (yr) | Free optimizer |
| 2 | Semrush AI Toolkit | Semrush users | Multi + Google AI | $99/mo/domain | Free optimizer |
| 3 | Otterly.AI | Budget | 4 base | $29/mo | 7-day trial |
| 4 | Profound | Enterprise | up to 10 | ~$99/mo | None |
| 5 | AthenaHQ | GEO analytics | Broad | Self-serve | Free sampler |
| 6 | Writesonic | Mention + sentiment | Select | Self-serve | 7-day trial |
1) Frase
Frase adds the monitor-and-fix loop Peec lacks: it tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI, then turns a lost citation into a brief, a draft and a published fix — from $39/mo billed yearly, with a free optimizer and GEO Score (no card). Pick it if Peec's measure-only model leaves your team with a dashboard and no action.
2) Semrush AI Toolkit
The Semrush AI Toolkit gives broader engine coverage without Peec's per-model add-on math if you bundle via Semrush One. The toolkit is $99/mo per domain (25 prompts; +$60/mo per 50, +$99/mo per extra domain), or $199/mo bundled with classic SEO. Best when AI visibility is one KPI among many.
3) Otterly.AI
Otterly.AI is cheaper to start than Peec: Lite $29/mo (15 prompts), Standard $189/mo (100), Premium $489/mo (400). Four base engines included; Gemini and Google AI Mode are add-ons ($9–$149/mo). A proof-of-concept entry that, like Peec, monitors rather than fixes.
4) Profound
Profound adds first-party AI-crawler data (Agent Analytics), a 1.3B+ real-query dataset and SOC 2 compliance that Peec's clickstream-proxy model can't match — at ~$99/mo (ChatGPT only) rising to ~$399/mo Growth for three engines and custom Enterprise for full coverage. Pick it only for a funded enterprise program.
5) AthenaHQ
AthenaHQ adds GA4/Search Console attribution and an action center on top of prompt tracking, with a free sampler. Choose it if tying AI visibility to pipeline matters more than Peec's clean dashboards; credit-style tracking can burn fast on broad query sets.
6) Writesonic
Writesonic adds AI drafting to mention-and-sentiment tracking under one login. Free-tier truth: it's a 7-day trial (25 prompts, three engines, no card), not permanently free. Pick it if you want tracking plus writing and can commit after the trial.

FAQ
How much does Peec AI cost in 2026?
Brand self-serve plans are $95/mo Starter (50 prompts), $245/mo Pro (150 prompts) and $495/mo Advanced (350 prompts), each with unlimited seats and a 3-of-7 engine cap; a fourth engine costs $35–$165/mo depending on tier.
Is Peec AI worth it?
If you need clean daily prompt tracking with unlimited seats across up to three engines, yes — it is one of the best self-serve trackers. If you need broader engine coverage, a lower entry price, or a tool that fixes pages rather than reporting on them, an alternative fits better.
Peec AI vs Frase — what's the difference?
Peec measures visibility; Frase measures it and then drives the content fix (research, draft, GEO score, publish) from $39/mo. Choose Frase if your bottleneck is acting on the data.
What is the cheapest Peec AI alternative?
Otterly.AI at $29/mo (Lite, 15 prompts) is the cheapest paid tracker. Frase's free optimizer and the HubSpot and Mangools graders cost nothing.
Do any Peec alternatives rewrite pages?
Frase and Writesonic include paid content workflows that draft the fix; the pure trackers do not.
How many engines does Peec AI cover?
Seven are available, but every self-serve tier lets you track three of them; Claude and GPT-5 Search are Enterprise-only, and a fourth engine is a paid add-on.
What is the best free Peec AI alternative?
For a free one-time look at brand visibility: HubSpot AI Search Grader or Mangools AI Search Grader. For a free content optimizer with no card: Frase's free optimizer and GEO Score.
