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, and the API is reserved for Enterprise. This guide compares the alternatives on exactly those points.

Prices are the public list prices on each vendor’s site on 29 September 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 is an add-on, priced by plan.
  • API on Enterprise only. Teams that feed dashboards or client reports from an API need the top tier.
  • Prompt limits. 50 prompts on Starter, 150 on Pro. Agencies with many clients move to the credit-based agency plans from €205 a month.
  • Guidance. Some G2 reviewers ask for clearer recommendations on what to do with the data.

The best Peec AI alternatives

Mencoro

Mencoro includes all its engines on every plan: ChatGPT, Perplexity, 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, 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, Claude or Copilot.

Otterly.AI

Otterly.AI includes four engines on every plan, Perplexity among them, from $29 a month for 15 prompts. Standard, at $189, gives 100 prompts plus the API, the MCP server and agent analytics. AI Mode, Gemini and Claude are add-ons.

Rankscale

Rankscale has no per-engine tiers: more than 17 engines on every plan, with each run costing credits by engine. Pro is $99 a month for 1,200 credits with an MCP server; the REST API starts on Growth.

LLMrefs

LLMrefs has a single $79 plan with 500 prompts on 11 engines, 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.

SE Visible

SE Visible gives 200 prompts on five engines, Perplexity included, for $99 a month ($79 billed yearly), with an API and a 10-day trial. It is a strong fit for agencies that want many prompts per dollar, with one limit to check: it covers seven countries (US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain).

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; the API is a paid add-on.

Keyword.com

Keyword.com sells AI visibility in credits from $9.80 a month and a combined Google and AI plan from $33, with the API and an MCP server on all plans and agency reporting built in.

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. See Peec AI vs Profound for a direct comparison.

How to choose

  • If you need Perplexity without an add-on, Mencoro, Otterly.AI, LLMrefs and SE Visible 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 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 .
