9 Best Peec AI Alternatives in 2026
By Anu Verma

Peec AI's self-serve plans each include three models of your choice, with more as paid add-ons, so the strongest alternatives are the ones that include more engines in the plan price. On five stated criteria Rankscale, Cituna and AthenaHQ tie at 6 of 8. Rankscale starts at $20 a month and lets you spend credits across 16 engines, Cituna (built by the developer who runs Automate Basics) checks seven engines daily for $39 a month with Search Console connected, and AthenaHQ covers 11 models on its $295 Starter with a free plan below it. Ahrefs Brand Radar and SE Visible follow with 5.
Peec AI includes three models of your choice on every self-serve plan, from $95 a month for 50 prompts, and charges extra for each model you add beyond that. If your buyers use more engines than that, the alternatives that include more per plan are the ones to shortlist. Scored on five criteria from vendor pages read on 25 September 2026, Rankscale, Cituna and AthenaHQ tie for the top: Rankscale spreads credits across 16 engines from $20, Cituna (built by the developer who runs Automate Basics) checks seven daily for $39 with Search Console connected, and AthenaHQ covers 11 models with a free plan below it. Ahrefs Brand Radar and SE Visible come next.

What Peec gives you, and where it stops
Peec is analytics-first. Starter is $95 a month for 50 daily prompts in one project, Pro $245 for 150 prompts and two projects, and Advanced $495 for 350 prompts, five projects, multi-country tracking and Looker Studio. Every plan has unlimited users. The model list for Starter names ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI, and three are included. Extra models can be added from the dashboard at any time, and the pricing page lists the price of one additional model for each plan. Enterprise, billed annually, tracks up to 13 with API access and SSO (Peec AI pricing, read 25 September 2026).
So a team on Pro paying $245 a month sees three engines unless it pays for more. That, and the lack of a Search Console connection among the listed integrations, are the two limits most likely to send a team elsewhere. If you want to connect AI answers back to Google data yourself, our walkthrough on automating SEO reporting with Search Console and AI visibility shows one way.
How we ranked them: criteria and method
We took the ten AI visibility tools in the Automate Basics directory and checked each one on the vendor's own site on 25 September 2026. Peec is the subject, so it is shown as a baseline and not numbered. Each tool's cheapest paid self-serve plan was scored on the same five criteria:
- Engines on the entry plan, before add-ons, counting only those the vendor names: 7 or more is 2 points, 5 or 6 is 1, 4 or fewer is 0. Peec's three included models count as 3; its paid extra models are add-ons and are excluded, as they are for every tool.
- Published entry price, monthly billing: $50 or under is 2, $51 to $150 is 1, above $150 or no price is 0.
- Prompts a day on the entry plan: 100 or more is 2, 25 to 99 is 1, under 25 or not displayed is 0. For credit- or check-metered plans without a prompt figure, the monthly allowance divided by 30, on one engine.
- Search Console connection named on the product's own pages, beta included: 1 point.
- Free trial or free plan: 1 point.
This page is published by Automate Basics, and one of the ranked tools, Cituna, is built by the developer who runs Automate Basics; it was scored on exactly the same criteria as every other entry. A perfect score is 8; ties go to the cheaper entry price. For Peec users the first criterion matters most, since it is the one Peec scores 0 on. None of the five measures data quality or support, which we could not test evenly across ten vendors.

1. Rankscale
Best for: teams who want to decide the engine mix prompt by prompt.
Rankscale has no set number of included models: you pick engines per search term and pay in credits, normally 0.25 per engine per run, with Claude at 2 and DeepSeek at 1. Its calculator lists 16 engines, including Perplexity, Claude, Grok and Mistral. Essentials starts at $20 a month; Pro at $99 buys 1,200 credits, 10 brand dashboards and Looker Studio, and has a 7-day trial with no charge until day 7 (Rankscale pricing, read 25 September 2026). The home page adds a GA4 and Search Console connection in beta.
Where it falls short: costs rise with every engine you add, and Essentials' allowance was not visible on the page when we read it, so we scored its prompts at 0. The REST API needs Growth at $385.
2. Cituna
Cituna is built by the developer who runs Automate Basics.
Best for: small teams who want more engines than Peec for less than Peec Starter.
Cituna does not ask you to choose models: each plan checks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode every day. Starter is $39 a month for one brand and 10 buyer prompts, Pro $119 for three brands and 30 prompts with alerts and competitor tracking, and Max $399 for 10 brands and 90 prompts. Where Peec lists Google Analytics, Cituna connects Google Search Console on every plan and builds buyer questions from the queries your site already appears for; it also writes fixes such as schema and llms.txt and can publish to the main CMSs (Cituna pricing, Cituna home page, read 25 September 2026).
Where it falls short: 10 prompts on Starter is a fifth of Peec Starter's 50, so heavy prompt lists need Pro or Max. Copilot, one of Peec's selectable models, is not tracked. Peec includes unlimited users; Cituna's plans are sized by brands and prompts instead. The trial lasts 3 days, needs a card and rolls into Starter, and a cancelled month is not partly refunded.
See Cituna's plans in our directory or read Cituna vs Peec AI for the head-to-head.
3. AthenaHQ
Best for: teams who want 11 models and search data in one self-serve plan.
AthenaHQ Starter is $295 a month, 17% less on annual billing, for 3,600 credits (one credit is one AI response) across 11 models: ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek, Meta AI and Mistral. The free Essential plan gives 300 responses on five engines to try first. Its plan page lists GA4 and Search Console integration, the connection Peec's page does not name (AthenaHQ plans, read 25 September 2026).
Where it falls short: it costs about three times Peec Starter, and API access and extra credits are add-ons with no published price.
4. Ahrefs Brand Radar
Best for: analysts who want market-wide AI data as well as their own prompts.
Brand Radar pairs a $50-a-month Custom Prompts package (2,500 checks, one per prompt per platform per update; Claude uses 8) with an AI Visibility Index from $199 that looks up any brand across 451M prompts. Custom prompts cover ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, AI Overviews, AI Mode and Claude (Ahrefs Brand Radar, read 25 September 2026). For a Peec user, the Index adds a view of the whole market that tracked prompts alone do not.
Where it falls short: Ahrefs offers no trial (Ahrefs pricing), Search Console is a separate Ahrefs tool rather than part of Brand Radar, and daily checks on many engines eat 2,500 checks fast.
See Ahrefs Brand Radar in our directory or Cituna vs Ahrefs Brand Radar.
5. SE Visible
Best for: Peec users who want to keep a large prompt list and gain two engines.
SE Visible Basic costs $99 a month (20% off yearly), close to Peec Starter, but tracks 200 prompts instead of 50, on five engines instead of the three Peec includes: ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Mode, Perplexity and AI Overviews. That comes to about 30,000 answers a month across three projects, captured from each platform's interface, with a 10-day trial (SE Visible, read 25 September 2026).
Where it falls short: no Copilot and no Claude yet, and no Search Console connection named on the page.
6. Otterly.AI
Best for: tight budgets that still want Copilot and Perplexity in the base plan.
Otterly Lite is $29 a month for 15 prompts on four fixed engines (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot), with unlimited team members like Peec. Standard at $189 brings 100 prompts, API and MCP access (Otterly pricing, read 25 September 2026).
Where it falls short: Claude, Gemini and AI Mode are paid add-ons, and 15 prompts is well below Peec's 50.
7. Scrunch
Best for: brands that want site audits and five seats in the base plan.
Scrunch Core is $250 a month for 125 prompts, five site audits a month, one workspace and five users, on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Copilot, with a 7-day trial. Enterprise widens coverage to nine models (Scrunch pricing, read 25 September 2026).
Where it falls short: four engines is only one more than Peec includes, at a higher price, and Core covers one country.
8. Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit
Best for: teams who already pay for Semrush and want one login.
The toolkit costs $99 a month for 25 tracked prompts and one Brand Performance domain; more users are $99 each, and 50 more prompts $60 a month (Semrush knowledge base, read 25 September 2026).
Where it falls short: half Peec Starter's prompts for a similar price, no trial, and only ChatGPT and AI Mode named for prompt tracking.
9. Profound
Best for: enterprises that want Peec's analytics plus agents, under contract.
Profound sells brands a free 7-day trial (50 prompts a day on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews) and then an Enterprise plan priced by quote, with up to nine engines and SSO (Profound pricing, read 25 September 2026).
Where it falls short: no list price to compare with Peec's, and the trial keeps no history or exports.
When Peec is still the right tool
Peec scored 3 of 8, the same as Otterly and Scrunch. If three well-chosen models cover your buyers, your team values unlimited seats and clean dashboards, and you want Looker Studio on Advanced, there is no strong reason to move. See Peec AI in our directory, and if you are not sure paid tracking is worth it yet, read whether to pay for an AI visibility tracking tool.

Frequently asked questions
Why do people switch from Peec AI?
The two limits we see on Peec's own pricing page are models and integrations. Starter, Pro and Advanced each include three models you choose; more can be added for a fee, and Enterprise tracks up to 13. Also, the integrations listed are Google Analytics and CDN log providers rather than Search Console. Its prices ($95, $245 and $495 a month on monthly billing, read 25 September 2026) are mid-range for the category.
Which Peec AI alternative covers the most engines on a self-serve plan?
Rankscale, whose credit calculator lists 16 engines, then AthenaHQ Starter with 11 models. Cituna and Ahrefs Brand Radar custom prompts each cover seven, and SE Visible covers five. Peec's self-serve plans include three.
Is there a Peec AI alternative with a free plan?
AthenaHQ is the only tool here with a free plan: Essential gives $25 of credit (300 AI responses) on ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini and Copilot. Rankscale, SE Visible, Scrunch, Profound and Cituna offer time-limited trials; Cituna's needs a card. Ahrefs and the Semrush toolkit offer no trial.
