Peec AI Alternatives in 2026: 8 AEO Platforms Compared by Price and Fit

OnlyAEO publishes this page and OnlyAEO is our product. Prices were checked on each vendor's own pricing page on 30 October 2026.

Every alternative below has a "skip it if" line, OnlyAEO included. Where Peec AI is the better choice, we say so in its own section.

Why do people look for a Peec AI alternative?

People usually look for a Peec AI alternative for one of three reasons: engine limits, the engines missing below Enterprise, or the need for someone to act on the data. Here is what Peec's pricing page says on 30 October 2026.

• 3 engines at a time. Starter ($95/month, 50 prompts), Pro ($245/month, 150 prompts) and Advanced ($495/month, 350 prompts) each allow 3 active models.
• The choice is from 6 engines. Those plans pick from ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI.
• Claude, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek are Enterprise only. The page lists them only on the custom-priced Enterprise plan.
• It does not create content. Peec gives recommendations and helps you edit existing pages. Your team still writes, publishes and earns the mentions.
• No trial on the pricing page. The homepage has a "Start Free Trial" button, but the pricing page does not mention a trial or its length.

If your buyers use Perplexity or Claude, or nobody on your team has time to act on the findings, those limits matter.

What are the best Peec AI alternatives in 2026?

The table lists the cheapest paid plan for each tool, as shown on its own pricing page on 30 October 2026. "Engines" means the engines on that entry plan.

Prices are shown with a dollar sign on each page. Peec shows no currency code. Otterly says it bills in USD or EUR depending on your location. Prices change, so confirm on the vendor page before you buy.

How does each Peec AI alternative compare?

Each entry gives the facts from the vendor's own pricing page, then the case for skipping it.

Otterly.AI: best for a lower-cost start with Perplexity included

• Price: Lite is $29/month, or $25/month billed annually, with 15 prompts. Standard is $189/month (100 prompts) and Premium $489/month (400 prompts).
• Engines: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot on every plan. Google AI Mode, Gemini and Claude are paid add-ons.
• Creates content: no. It gives audits and recommendations.
• Where it beats Peec AI: a lower entry price, a stated free trial, and Perplexity without an enterprise contract.
• Skip it if: you need more than 15 prompts at the entry price. Peec Starter gives 50.

SE Visible: best for more prompts and engines at a similar price

• Price: Basic is $89/month, or $71/month billed annually, with 75 prompts, 5 projects and unlimited seats. Core is $189/month and Agency $399/month.
• Trial: 10 days, free.
• Engines on Basic: ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini and Copilot.
• Creates content: no.
• Where it beats Peec AI: 75 prompts against 50, and 5 engines against 3 active, for a lower monthly price.
• Skip it if: you need Perplexity tracked, or Claude below the Agency plan.

Semrush AI Visibility: best if your SEO already runs in Semrush

• Price: Base is $99/month per domain, billed annually. No monthly price is shown.
• Includes: 25 custom prompts with daily AI rankings, for 1 brand domain.
• Engines: mentions from ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini and Perplexity.
• Creates content: no, not on this plan.
• Where it beats Peec AI: Perplexity on the entry plan, next to your Semrush SEO data.
• Skip it if: you want to pay month to month, need more than 25 prompts, or want content written.

Frase: best for self-serve article drafts with light tracking

• Price: Starter is $49/month, or $39/month billed annually, with 10 articles, 20 AI visibility prompts and 1 seat. Professional is $129/month and Scale $299/month.
• Trial: 7 days, no credit card.
• Engines: ChatGPT and Google AI on Starter. Professional adds Perplexity, and Scale adds Claude and Gemini.
• Creates content: yes. Frase drafts finished articles.
• Where it beats Peec AI: it writes the articles, not just the list of what to fix.
• Skip it if: tracking is your main need. 20 prompts on 2 engines is much lighter than Peec Starter.

AthenaHQ: best for the most engines on a public plan

• Price: Starter is $295/month, with 3,600 credits, where 1 credit is 1 AI response. A free Essential plan gives 300 credits.
• Engines on Starter: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek, Meta AI and Mistral.
• Creates content: partly. Starter lists a content optimisation agent and on-page and off-page actions. Full article writing is not stated.
• Where it beats Peec AI: Claude, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek on a published plan, not only on Enterprise.
• Skip it if: you want a fixed monthly cost, because usage is counted in credits.

Scrunch: best if you want Claude and Perplexity tracked from the first plan

• Price: Starter is $300/month, or $250/month billed annually, with 350 custom prompts, 1,000 industry prompts and 3 seats.
• Trial: 7 days, no credit card.
• Engines on Starter: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews and Meta.
• Creates content: partly. Its AXP builds an AI-friendly version of your site, and page audits suggest fixes.
• Where it beats Peec AI: more prompts than Peec Pro and Claude and Perplexity on the entry plan.
• Skip it if: your budget is under $250 a month, or you need unlimited seats (Starter includes 3).

Profound: best for enterprise teams that want many engines and agents

• Price: not public. There is a free 7-day trial with 50 prompts on 3 engines, and an Enterprise plan priced as "Custom".
• Engines: up to 9 on Enterprise: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek, Claude, Google AI Overviews and Exa Search.
• Creates content: yes. The AI Marketer researches, writes and reports.
• Where it beats Peec AI: more engines on its top plan and agents that do some of the work.
• Skip it if: you need a published price. Our Profound alternatives guide covers that gap.

OnlyAEO: best if you want the content created, and a team to run it if you choose

OnlyAEO is an AEO platform. It finds the questions buyers ask AI, tracks which brands the answers name and which sources they cite, and creates the content that changes them. You can run it yourself, or our team runs it for you.

• Price: not public yet. Price on a short call.
• Engines: the platform tracks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and Grok. The work is meant to help across all major assistants, including Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Copilot, but the platform does not track those.
• Creates content: yes. Fact-checked, answer-first articles on your site, YouTube videos, and, on the Authority plan, mentions on third-party sites, reviews, listings and directories.
• Checks on every piece: facts against sources, voice, tested links, an independent quality score of 85 or more, and your approval. By default nothing goes live until you approve it.
• Also included: a context graph that holds one record of your company, LLM Attribution that logs 170+ AI crawlers and AI-referred visits, and an MCP server so Claude or ChatGPT can add ideas, start articles, read drafts and request edits (drafts only). OnlyAEO is SOC 2 Type II compliant.
• Languages: English plus Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali and other Indian and global languages.
• Result: FastTrackr AI went from 0.1% to 26.7% AI visibility, and from #338 to #3 of 458 wealth-tech brands, in about 100 days. A New York edibles retailer went from 1.5% to 25%. Neither is a forecast for your brand.
• Where Peec AI is better: a published price from $95 a month, unlimited seats, and AI Mode, AI Overviews, Copilot and Naver AI as tracking options. The OnlyAEO platform does not track those, has no free plan and no public self-serve price yet, and has fewer third-party reviews as a younger company.
• Skip it if: you only want a low-cost tracker, or you have an in-house content team that only needs the data.

When is Peec AI still the right choice?

Peec AI is still the right choice when you want analytics, have people to act on them, and value a clear published price. These cases favour it:

• Your team will do the writing and outreach. Peec ranks what to fix, and an in-house team that has the hours may not need a platform that creates content.
• You want many people in the tool. Every plan includes unlimited team users. Scrunch Starter includes 3 seats and Frase Starter 1.
• You care about Google's AI surfaces and Copilot. AI Mode, AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot are all on the list of models you can choose below Enterprise.
• You sell in Korea. Naver AI is on Peec's list for every plan, and none of the other entry plans here name it.
• You want daily data at a mid budget. Starter runs 50 prompts daily, about 4,500 AI answers a month, for $95.

How do I choose between these Peec AI alternatives?

Start with who will act on the data, then the engines your buyers use, then budget.

1. Decide who does the work. If your team has time each week to write and publish, a tracker such as SE Visible, Otterly.AI or Semrush may be enough. If not, pick a platform that creates content.
2. List the engines your buyers use. If Perplexity or Claude matters, check the entry plan, not the top tier.
3. Count prompts and seats together. A low price with 15 prompts or 1 seat may cost more once you scale.
4. Run the same buyer questions on every shortlisted tool. Compare what each one reports, several times per engine.
