Asheard (that’s us) is on this list — clearly marked, every claim checkable.
| Tool | Entry | Engines | Rank tracking | Known for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asheard (us) | €49 GEO · €29 SEO | All 8 from Pro | Yes — built in | Both halves in one product, credits refund on failure |
| Peec AI | $95/mo | 3 + add-ons $35–165/mo each | No | Clean UI, unlimited seats, daily tracking |
| Profound | $99 (ChatGPT only) | Real coverage $399+, full = Enterprise | No | Prompt Volumes panel, Fortune 500 stack |
| Otterly.AI | $29/mo | 4 core; Gemini & AI Mode are add-ons | No | Cheapest credible entry, 50+ countries |
| Rankscale | ~€20/mo | 17+ included | No | “Include everything” credit pricing |
| AthenaHQ | $295/mo | Multi-engine | No | Mid-market AEO platform |
Category context: across 30+ AI-visibility tools the average price is ~$337/mo (Rankability, 2026). Five of these six track only AI answers — you’d still pay for a separate rank tracker.
Asheard — the only tool here answering “how visible are we?” for Google and AI: rank tracking + 8 engines, no per-engine fees, auto-refunding credits, an Insights layer that says what to fix. Where the others beat us: Peec’s unlimited seats, Profound’s panel data, Otterly’s $29 door.
Peec AI — if seats matter more than scope. Unlimited users, daily tracking; budget for add-ons (full coverage ≈ $500/mo) and a separate rank tracker.
Profound — if the board needs panel data. Prompt Volumes (real consumer AI queries) is unique; SOC 2 II and procurement support are real. The math: $99 = ChatGPT only; $399 = 3 engines, 100 prompts, one workspace; full coverage = Enterprise.
Otterly.AI — if the budget is $29. Credible entry: 15 prompts, 4 core engines, 50+ countries, unlimited seats. Watch: Gemini and AI Mode are paid add-ons, and the next tier is $189.
Rankscale — if add-on pricing offends you: 17+ engines from ~€20 on credits. Trade-offs: smaller track record, credit math at scale.
AthenaHQ — the $295 middle path when Profound is too enterprise and the low-cost tools too thin.
Four questions cut through every pricing page: Which engines are included rather than added on? What does the bill become past 50 prompts? Does it also track Google, or is that a second subscription? Does it tell you what to do — or just chart what happened?
Rankings + AI answers across 8 engines · no per-engine fees · from €29/mo.
Depends on the gap: Asheard if you also need Google rank tracking, Profound for enterprise panel data, Otterly for the lowest entry price, Rankscale for all-engines-included pricing.
Yes — Otterly from $29/mo, Rankscale ~€20/mo, and Asheard’s AI-visibility module from €49/mo (all 8 engines from €119 Pro vs ~$500/mo for equivalent Peec coverage).
