Peec AI alternatives (2026)

Peec's Starter plan is $95 a month for 50 prompts on 3 engines. Otterly costs $29, AthenaHQ has a free plan, and AthenaHQ's $295 plan covers 11 AI models.

If Peec costs too much, tracks too few prompts, or skips an engine you need, here is each alternative with its entry price, what it tracks, and who it fits. Before you pay, two free reports cover part of the job: Search Console's Generative AI report for Google, and Bing's AI Performance report for Copilot.

We make CrawlCoach. It is on this list for a different job: it checks whether AI search can reach your pages, then runs a monthly citation check. It is not a full tracker. Every price below is from each vendor's own pricing page.

Peec AI	$95 a month	50 prompts, daily, on 3 engines you choose	The baseline
Otterly.AI	$29 a month	15 prompts, daily, on 4 engines	The lowest paid price

CrawlCoach	$29 a month; citation checks from $59	AI crawler and page checks; about 10 questions a month on 2 engines	Fixing access before tracking

1. Otterly.AI: Best cheaper alternative
Otterly's Lite plan is $29 a month for 15 prompts, tracked daily on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot. Claude, AI Mode, and Gemini are add-ons. Lite includes citation source tracking, share of voice, sentiment, and crawlability and content audits. Standard is $189 for 100 prompts.
You get fewer prompts than Peec's 50, for under a third of the price.
2. AthenaHQ: Best free plan, and the longest engine list
AthenaHQ's Essential plan is free, with 300 credits, on ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini, and Copilot. Starter is $295 a month, billed monthly, with 3,600 credits, unlimited topics and prompts, and 11 AI models, including Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Meta AI, and Mistral. API access and extra credits cost more.
3. Rankscale: Best if you want to pay by the answer
Rankscale's Pro plan is $99 a month, billed monthly, for 1,200 credits that query AI engines, enough for up to 4,800 answers. It includes 10 brand dashboards and 50 page audits, and covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, AI Overviews, and Copilot. Pro+ is $229 for 3,000 credits and adds a REST API. You can try Pro for free.
4. Scrunch: Best when you also want AI site audits
Scrunch's Core plan is $250 a month for 125 prompts, 5,000 responses a month, and 5 site audits, on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Copilot. It starts with a 7-day free trial. Enterprise adds 9 AI models and its Agent Experience Platform.
5. Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit: Best if you already pay for Semrush
The toolkit is $99 a month with 25 prompts tracked day by day on platforms such as ChatGPT and Google AI Mode, plus brand and competitor reports. 50 more prompts cost $60 a month.
6. Profound: Best for large brands
Profound doesn't list a self-serve plan. The free 7-day trial runs 50 prompts a day on ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. After that, Enterprise is a custom quote, with up to 9 answer engines, SSO, SOC 2, and AI Marketer agents.
7. CrawlCoach: Best when AI search can't reach your pages yet
A tracker tells you that you are missing from AI answers. CrawlCoach looks for the reason. Every paid plan finds pages missing from Google, checks robots.txt for the AI search crawlers, and tests your firewall as OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, and PerplexityBot. Pro, at $59 a month, adds a monthly citation check: about 10 questions, asked 3 times each of OpenAI with web search and Google Gemini.
Where it falls short: monthly, not daily, on 2 engines, with no sentiment or share of voice. Pair it with a tracker if you need those.
