AI Visibility Tools Pricing Index (2026)

What AI visibility tracking actually costs: entry prices, tracked prompts, cost per prompt and engine coverage for every tool we review, compiled from public pricing and re-checked every 90 days. Free to cite.

Key findings

7AI visibility tools tracked
$174.50median entry price per month
$29cheapest entry (Otterly.AI)
$1.22lowest cost per prompt (Otterly.AI Premium)
  • The cheapest way in is Otterly.AI at $29 a month, and the lowest cost per tracked prompt is $1.22 on Otterly.AI Premium. Bigger plans almost always cost less per prompt.
  • AthenaHQ can track the most AI engines (10), though on most tools several engines are paid add-ons or reserved for higher plans.
  • Profound no longer publishes a self-serve price, so a quote is the only way to compare.

How to read the index

Cost per prompt is the monthly plan price divided by the number of prompts the plan tracks. It is the fairest single number for comparing tools, but it is not the whole story: one prompt may run on three engines in one tool and seven in another, and how often it runs (daily or weekly) varies too.

AI engines counts every engine a tool can track on any plan. On most tools, some of those engines are paid add-ons or reserved for higher tiers, so check the review before assuming an engine is included in the entry price.

Not prompt-based marks tools that price differently. AthenaHQ sells credits (one credit per AI response), and Ahrefs Brand Radar sells access to a prompt database rather than a set number of your own prompts, so a per-prompt figure would be misleading.

Methodology

Prices come from each vendor’s pricing page, cross-checked against independent sources dated within the last few months. Each review lists those sources. We re-verify every tool at least every 90 days, and sooner when a vendor changes its pricing. Profound, for example, removed its self-serve plans in autumn 2026, and Scrunch AI has shown different plan structures to different buyers, which the reviews explain.
