Peec AI alternatives: more engines, API access or a lower price

Peec AI is one of the most popular AI visibility trackers, with daily runs, unlimited users, good source analytics and a clean interface. The reasons teams look for a Peec AI alternative are usually specific: every plan includes only three models, extra engines such as Perplexity are add-ons, Starter covers one country with no API, and Claude is Enterprise only. This guide compares the alternatives on exactly those points.

Prices are the public list prices on each vendor’s site on 11 November 2026. We build one of these tools, Mencoro, and describe the others as we would want ours described.

Why look for a Peec AI alternative

  • Three models per plan. You pick three from ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Copilot, Gemini and Naver. A fourth engine costs €25 a month on Starter, €55 on Pro and €115 on Advanced.
  • Starter is small. 50 prompts, one country, one project and no API. The API and three countries start on Pro, at €205.
  • Claude only on Enterprise. Claude, Grok and DeepSeek are not available on the self-serve plans.
  • Guidance. Some G2 reviewers ask for clearer recommendations on what to do with the data.

The best Peec AI alternatives

1. Mencoro

Mencoro includes all its engines on every plan: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overview and AI Mode for AI answers, and the Google SERP and Shopping for classic results, in one project. You pay per check from €15 a month, so adding an engine costs checks rather than an add-on (a Claude pass uses five checks, the others one), and every plan has unlimited projects, competitors and users, the REST API and an MCP server. Mentions are classified into five types and scored for sentiment, and share of voice is weighted by both. It does not track Gemini or Copilot.

2. Otterly.AI

Otterly.AI moved every plan to credits on 10 November 2026: all seven of its engines are available on every plan, each workspace picks at least three, and a Claude check costs three credits against one for the rest. Lite is $29 a month (€29 in Europe) for 16 prompts on four engines. Standard, at $189, gives 120 prompts on four engines plus the API, the MCP server and agent analytics.

3. Rankscale

Rankscale has no per-engine tiers: more than 17 engines on every plan, with each run costing credits by engine. Essentials is $17 a month billed yearly and Pro $99 a month for 1,200 credits, both with an MCP server; the REST API starts on Pro+ ($229, or $195 billed yearly).

4. LLMrefs

LLMrefs has a single $79 plan with 500 prompts on every engine it supports, including Perplexity, Claude, Grok and Meta AI, plus an API, CSV export and unlimited projects and seats. You enter keywords and it generates the prompts; reports are weekly rather than daily. There is a 7-day free trial.

5. SE Visible

SE Visible, from SE Ranking, starts at €80 a month for 75 prompts and five projects (20% less billed yearly). Core gives 200 prompts for €169 and Agency 1,000 prompts and 30 projects for €355. The five engines are ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini and Copilot; Perplexity is not on the list, and Claude comes only with Agency. Every plan has the API and a 10-day trial.

6. AthenaHQ

AthenaHQ covers 11 engines on its $295 Starter plan with 3,600 credits and adds content actions and prompt volume estimates. The free plan gives 300 credits on five engines, Perplexity among them; the API is a paid add-on.

7. Keyword.com

Keyword.com sells AI visibility in credits from $9.80 a month for 100 credits and a combined Google and AI plan from $33, with the API and an MCP server on all plans and agency reporting built in. The plans cover ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overview and Gemini, and the credit calculator adds Claude, Grok and other models through their APIs.

8. Profound

If you are leaving Peec AI because you have outgrown it, Profound is the enterprise option: up to nine engines, prompt volumes, agent analytics and content agents, priced by quote after a free 7-day trial. See Peec AI vs Profound for a direct comparison.

How to choose

  • If you need Perplexity without an add-on, Mencoro, LLMrefs, Keyword.com and Otterly.AI (in credits) include it.
  • If you need an API on a small plan, Mencoro, LLMrefs, SE Visible and Keyword.com include one.
  • If you need the Google SERP next to AI answers, Mencoro and Keyword.com track both.
  • If you need many engines, compare Rankscale’s and Otterly.AI’s credits with AthenaHQ’s fixed plan.

For a wider view, see our comparisons of LLM rank trackers and AEO tools. To track every engine in one plan, paid per check, Mencoro starts at €15 a month.

Which tool to choose for your case

Before it recommends a tool, ChatGPT asks who it is for, what you want to measure, your budget, the engines and the market. These are its options, in its words, with the tools we would compare for each one. Where another tool fits better, it comes first.

Who is it for?

If you needStart comparingWhy
My own business or marketing team Mencoro, Otterly.AI, Peec AI Yes. A Mencoro project is one brand: its names, its domains and as many competitors as you want. You write the prompts your customers ask and Mencoro checks them on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode and Google search. The entry plan, €15 a month, covers 10 prompts on five engines checked every week.
SEO agency managing clients Mencoro, Peec AI, Semrush Yes, it is the case Mencoro is built for. Every plan includes unlimited projects, unlimited competitors and multi-user access, so an agency keeps every client in one account and pays only for the checks it runs. Clients get white label reports, and the team can pull the data through the REST API or ask for it in Claude or ChatGPT through the MCP server. See Mencoro for agencies.
Freelancer or consultant Mencoro, Otterly.AI Yes. A consultant starts at €15 a month, opens one project per client at no extra cost and moves up a plan only when the prompt volume grows. The MCP server lets you query each client's data from Claude or ChatGPT while you write the report.
SaaS / technology Mencoro, Peec AI, Profound Yes. SaaS buyers ask AI for the best software in a category, for alternatives to a competitor and for one tool against another, and those are the prompts to track. Mencoro shows where you appear in each answer, which competitors are named instead of you (including the ones you do not track yet) and which pages the AI cites.
E-commerce Mencoro, Profound, Semrush Yes. Besides ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers, Mencoro tracks Google Shopping listings by seller in the same project, so a store sees its products and its brand side by side. See Mencoro for ecommerce.
Affiliate or content site Mencoro, Ahrefs Brand Radar Yes. An affiliate or media site wants to be the source the AI cites. Mencoro stores the sources of every answer, including the pages ChatGPT's search retrieved but did not quote, and shows how often your domain is among them.
Personal brand / creator Mencoro, Otterly.AI Yes. A person is tracked like any brand: your name and its spellings, your website and the people you compete with for the same questions.
Resell the software under my own brand Mencoro, SE Ranking, AgencyAnalytics Yes. With full white label your clients log in at your own domain and never see Mencoro: your logo, colors and font on the platform, the report exports and the emails. You set your own price to them, and every client project is unlimited.
API or data to build my own tracker Mencoro, DataForSEO Yes. The REST API gives you every answer, mention, citation and metric, with an OpenAPI contract, and embedded dashboards signed from your backend put them inside your own product.
Enterprise marketing team Profound, Mencoro Enterprise, Semrush Partly. Mencoro handles large prompt sets: up to 25,000 checks a month on the €799 plan, and Enterprise volume with a dedicated account manager beyond that. Large brands that want an enterprise-only platform usually also evaluate Profound.
Local business Local Falcon, BrightLocal Not for city-level local SEO. Mencoro sets the location by country, with no city or device targeting. A local business can still track prompts that name its city (“best dentist in Austin”), but for map pack and city grid rankings a local tool such as Local Falcon or BrightLocal fits better.
