# Best AI visibility tracker for a small SaaS startup

> The best AI visibility trackers for a small SaaS startup, compared on price, free options and whether they write the fixes. Updated October 2026.

If you run a small SaaS, you need to know whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI recommend you, and what to change when they don't. I compared 8 trackers on starting price, free options, and whether they only report or also write the fixes. Disclosure: I make GotCited, one of the 8.

By Nathan Johnson, founder of GotCited. Updated October 25, 2026.

## How I compared them

- Published starting price and what it meters (prompts, brands, domains).
- Whether you can try it free.
- Whether it writes fixes and content, or only reports.
- Fit for a team of one to five with one product.

## 1. GotCited

Best for: a founder who wants the fixes written. $9/month for one site after a free scan. Writes titles, meta, JSON-LD, llms.txt, robots.txt rules, FAQ and comparison pages, and 10 articles a month. Limitation: Claude is the only engine live today.

## 2. Otterly.AI

Best for: cheap, broad monitoring. $29/month for 15 prompts across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot. Limitation: the useful tiers jump to $189 and $489.

## 3. Rank Prompt

Best for: many engines and many brands. Free plan for one report, then $49/month ($39 annual) with six engines, articles and SEO tasks. Limitation: credit-based, so heavy use costs more.

## 4. ChatSEO

Best for: brands focused on ChatGPT. From €29/month. Limitation: narrower engine focus.

## 5. Peec AI

Best for: SEO teams that want clean reporting. $95/month for 50 prompts on 3 models. Limitation: Claude and some engines sit in higher tiers.

## 6. Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit

Best for: teams already on Semrush. $99/month per domain with 25 prompts. Limitation: no free trial for the toolkit.

## 7. Ahrefs Brand Radar

Best for: research across a huge prompt database. From $199/month, with custom prompts from $50/month. Limitation: expensive for a small team.

## 8. Profound

Best for: enterprise brands. A 7-day trial, then custom Enterprise pricing. Limitation: no published self-serve price for brands.

## How to pick under $20 a month

Under $20, the honest options are a free plan or trial (Rank Prompt's free report, Otterly's trial, Ahrefs' free checker) or GotCited at $9/month. If you want ongoing tracking plus the fixes written for one site, that's what I built GotCited for. If you only need a one-off snapshot, use a free plan and do the fixes yourself with [this checklist](https://gotcited.app/guides/get-recommended-by-chatgpt-and-perplexity).
