Entry prices are the cheapest paid plan per month, as published by each vendor. Annual means the monthly rate when billed yearly.

How to choose

  1. 1

    Which AI assistants and search features do you need covered? Check that each one is in the plan you would buy, not only in the enterprise tier or as a paid add-on.

  2. 2

    How many prompts, how often and on how many engines? Plans are priced on those three, so the same budget buys very different amounts of tracking.

  3. 3

    Do you only want to measure, or also to change the answers, with content recommendations, site audits or drafted fixes?

  4. 4

    Where does the data need to go: an API, an MCP server for your AI assistant, Looker Studio, or next to your Search Console and analytics data?
