Best Perplexity Rank Trackers in 2026 (14 Compared)

A Perplexity rank tracker runs the questions your buyers ask on Perplexity, on a schedule, and records three things: whether Perplexity names your brand, whether it cites your pages among the numbered sources it shows with the answer, and which competitors it names instead. Because the sources are on the screen, a Perplexity “rank” is concrete: for a given prompt you are in the cited set or you are not. Below are fourteen tools whose pricing pages list Perplexity, compared on what you get at entry: how often they re-check, how many prompts, which other engines come with it, and the price. Cituna leads the list for teams that want Perplexity, Claude and Grok checked daily and the fixes written, from $49 a month.

The 14 Perplexity rank trackers at a glance

Cituna first, then the rest by lowest listed paid monthly price. The “Perplexity at entry?” column says on which plan Perplexity is included and how often it is checked there.

How we chose these fourteen

A tool is on this list if its own pricing page lists Perplexity on a plan you can buy without a sales call. That rules out three well-known tools, covered in “Tools we left out”. For each tool we took the entry price, the prompts it buys, the other engines on the same plan, how often it re-checks, and the trial terms from that vendor’s pricing page, and every figure carries the date we read it. Where two of our pages hold different reads of the same vendor, the newer one is used. We build Cituna, so it comes first; after it, entries run from the lowest listed paid monthly price to the highest. The numbers help you find your way and are not a score.

What a Perplexity rank tracker should do

Perplexity answers in prose and shows numbered source links with the answer. That gives a tracker more to record than a yes or no. For each of your buyer prompts, a Perplexity rank tracker worth paying for keeps six things:

• Mentions and citations. Whether Perplexity names your brand in the answer, and whether any numbered source points at your domain. Our guide to mentions versus citations explains why the citation is the one that carries the click.
• The cited source URLs. Every page Perplexity numbered, yours and everyone else’s. Those pages are where the answer comes from, so they are the pages you can work on or earn a place in.
• Competitors named. Which rivals Perplexity recommends when it leaves you out, prompt by prompt.
• Position. Where you are named among the brands in the answer, and where your page sits in the source list.
• History. The same prompt over days and weeks. One answer is a sample, and AI answers change from run to run, so a trend is what tells you whether a change is real.
• How often it re-checks. Daily, weekly or on a schedule you pick. Weekly checks can cost less, as LLM Pulse’s pricing shows; daily checks show a lost citation the day it goes.

Two more things decide whether the data turns into results: the other engines on the same plan, since buyers rarely ask only Perplexity, and what the tool does after the report. Some stop at the chart, some suggest actions, and a few write the content.

The side-by-side matrix

The matrix below sets eight of the tools side by side (Cituna, Rankscale, Otterly.ai, LLM Pulse, LLMrefs, Trakkr, SE Ranking and AthenaHQ) on the rows that matter for Perplexity tracking; the table above covers all fourteen. A partial mark means the feature exists with a condition, such as an add-on or a higher plan.

The 14 best Perplexity rank trackers in detail

1. Cituna (best for Perplexity, Claude and Grok checked daily, with the fixes written)

Cituna asks Perplexity your buyers’ questions every day and keeps what a Perplexity answer contains: whether your brand is named, where it sits among the brands listed, which numbered sources point at your domain, and which competitors Perplexity recommended instead. The same prompts run daily on ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, so a Perplexity miss reads against six other engines rather than on its own. Where a rival wins, Cituna writes the change for the page that should have been cited (schema, FAQ markup, an llms.txt entry or the page copy), and its AutoSEO drafts 30 articles a month on Starter for the questions your site does not answer yet, sent to WordPress, Shopify, a GitHub repo or any CMS by webhook. The Perplexity rank tracker page shows what Cituna records for each prompt.

• Best for: a marketing or SEO team that wants Perplexity watched daily next to Claude and Grok, and wants the fix for each lost answer written rather than only reported.
• What it costs: flat plans with all seven engines on each: Starter $49/mo for one brand and 10 prompts, Pro $119 for three brands and 30 prompts, Max $399 for ten brands and 90 prompts. API keys come with every paid plan, Google Search Console joins the same prompts, and the MCP server is included (read tools from $49, write tools from Pro). See Cituna’s plans.
• Where it falls short: Cituna does not track Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI, DeepSeek or Brave, and does not score sentiment; Starter’s 10 prompts are fewer than LLM Pulse’s 50 or LLMrefs’ 500; the 3-day free trial asks for a card, with no charge during the trial.

2. Keyword.com (best for Perplexity on a handful of prompts, next to Google rank tracking)

Keyword.com is a Google rank tracker that sells AI tracking in credits. Keyword.com’s AI Visibility plan was $9.80 a month billed monthly, or $94 a year, for 20 credits, and Keyword.com’s 360 Visibility plan, which adds 1,000 weekly Google keywords and 15 credits, started at $33 a month (keyword.com/pricing, read October 10, 2026). The Keyword.com pricing-page calculator listed Perplexity with Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek, Mistral and Claude, with a Perplexity check at 0.25 credits, and every self-serve Keyword.com plan starts with a 14-day trial that needs no card.

• Best for: a site owner who already tracks Google rankings and wants a few Perplexity prompts checked weekly for the lowest paid sticker on this page.
• What it costs: Keyword.com’s AI Visibility plan is $9.80/mo for 20 credits; by the Keyword.com calculator’s formula that covers 20 prompts checked weekly on one 0.25-credit engine.
• Where it falls short: daily checks use Keyword.com credits fast (two prompts checked daily on one 0.25-credit engine come to 15 credits a month), a Claude check costs 12 times a ChatGPT one, and Grok was not on the calculator’s list. Our Keyword.com AI tracker alternatives page works through the credit maths.

3. Otterly.ai (best for Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot on a short prompt list)

Otterly.ai includes Perplexity on its lowest plan. Otterly.ai’s Lite costs $29/mo billed monthly, or $25/mo billed annually, for 15 prompts checked daily on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot, with unlimited team members (otterly.ai/pricing, read September 25, 2026). Claude, Gemini and Google AI Mode are Otterly.ai add-ons on Lite at $29, $9 and $9 a month, so all seven Otterly.ai engines come to $76/mo on that plan by our arithmetic. Otterly.ai does not offer Grok.

For Perplexity, Otterly.ai gives a daily reading on a small, fixed set of buyer questions, with Copilot in the same view, which Cituna does not track. Where Otterly.ai falls short: 15 prompts is a short list for a baseline, and Otterly.ai’s API and MCP access start on Standard at $189/mo, a steep step up from $29. Our Otterly AI alternatives page goes further.

4. LLM Pulse (best for weekly or daily checks priced in euros, with unlimited seats)

LLM Pulse is a European tracker that includes ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews on every plan. LLM Pulse’s Starter is €49 a month for 50 prompts checked once a week in one project; checked daily, the same 50 prompts cost €79 a month (LLM Pulse’s pricing page on llmpulse.ai, read September 25, 2026). LLM Pulse sells Claude, Grok, Copilot and DeepSeek as add-ons from €8 per model per month, and includes unlimited team members and MCP on every plan. LLM Pulse’s prices are in euros before VAT.

For Perplexity, LLM Pulse’s choice between weekly and daily checks lets you trade cadence for cost on the same 50 prompts. Where LLM Pulse falls short: the €49 headline is the weekly plan, LLM Pulse’s daily plans start billing right away, and the LLM Pulse 14-day free trial covers weekly plans only and asks for a payment method. Our LLM Pulse alternatives page goes further.

5. LLMrefs (best for 500 prompts on one flat fee)

LLMrefs has a single $79 plan with a 7-day free trial, tracking 500 prompts across ChatGPT, ChatGPT Search, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Copilot, Meta AI and DeepSeek with no charge per engine (llmrefs.com/pricing, read October 1, 2026). LLMrefs starts from your keywords and builds the fan-out prompts behind them, and CSV export and API access are included. LLMrefs’ pricing page marks the $79 price “Limited time only”.

For Perplexity, LLMrefs gives the largest prompt set on this list at a flat price. Where LLMrefs falls short: LLMrefs reports refresh weekly, so day-to-day movement in a Perplexity answer will not show, and LLMrefs’ pricing page lists no MCP server. See our LLMrefs alternatives page for tools with daily data.

6. Promptwatch (best for four models you pick, with MCP and API at entry)

Promptwatch asks you to choose four models per plan from eight: OpenAI, Perplexity, Google, Claude, Gemini, Meta, DeepSeek and Grok. Promptwatch’s Essential plan costs $95 a month for 50 prompts and 6,000 responses a month, checked daily in one project, with MCP and API access, an agent chat and a 7-day free trial (promptwatch.com/pricing, read October 1, 2026). Promptwatch’s Professional plan, at $245, raises the allowance to 150 prompts and adds five AEO articles a month.

• Best for: a team that wants Perplexity checked daily beside three other engines of its choosing, with MCP and an API on the entry plan.
• What it costs: Promptwatch’s Essential is $95/mo.
• Where it falls short: four models is the limit on every listed Promptwatch plan, so Perplexity, Claude and Grok together leave one slot; Microsoft Copilot is not on its list; Essential includes no articles. Our Promptwatch alternatives page covers the rest.

7. Rankability (best for agencies that want Google keywords, content projects and AI tracking in one plan)

Rankability prices for agencies and folds AI tracking into a content and rank-tracking bundle. Rankability’s Starter plan is $97 a month, or $970 a year, and buys 100 tracked AI queries monitored daily on any of 11 platforms: ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, Microsoft Copilot, Brave AI, DeepSeek and Meta AI (rankability.com/pricing, read October 9, 2026). The same Rankability plan carries 20 content projects a month, 50 Google keywords, 10 Local Pack scans, page and site audits, and branded client reports. Rankability’s Agency ($297) and Agency Pro ($497) plans raise the query allowance to 300 and 500.

• Best for: an agency that wants Perplexity, Copilot and nine other engines watched daily for clients, alongside Google keywords and content briefs, under one bill.
• What it costs: Rankability’s Starter is $97/mo, or $970 billed yearly.
• Where it falls short: an in-house team tracking one brand pays for content projects, Local Pack scans and client reporting it may not use, and Rankability’s first plan costs more than twice Cituna’s Starter. Our Rankability alternatives page sets it against trackers and content tools.

8. Rankscale (best for setting your own check frequency, paid in credits)

Rankscale sells credits rather than a flat plan. Rankscale’s pricing page (read October 9, 2026) starts at Pro, $99 a month (1,200 credits, up to 4,800 AI answers, 7-day free trial), with Growth at $385 and Enterprise at $780; Essentials is billed yearly only, at $204 a year. Rankscale’s engine list covers Perplexity alongside ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, Claude, Grok and Copilot, and Rankscale checks can run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. Query fan-out comes with every Rankscale plan, and so does MCP, Essentials included (rankscale.ai/pricing, read October 17, 2026).

For Perplexity, the draw is control: Rankscale lets you re-check a prompt more often than a daily tracker, if your credits allow it. Where Rankscale falls short: Rankscale’s own calculator prices engines differently (0.25 credits for a ChatGPT run, 2 for a Claude run), so work out what your Perplexity runs cost before you size a plan. Rankscale’s Essentials plan leaves out Data Studio, exports and unlimited seats, and Rankscale lists a GA4 and Search Console connection only as a beta (rankscale.ai, October 17, 2026). More on our Rankscale alternatives page.

9. Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit (best for Perplexity inside a Semrush login)

Semrush sells its AI Visibility Toolkit per domain at $99 a month, billed annually. The Semrush Base plan tracks 25 custom prompts a day and reports mentions from ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini and Perplexity (semrush.com/pricing/ai, read October 9, 2026). Semrush’s help article for the toolkit prices 50 more prompts at $60 a month and says the toolkit has no free trial.

• Best for: a team whose SEO already lives in Semrush and wants Perplexity answers in the same login.
• What it costs: Semrush charges $99/mo per domain, billed annually; every extra brand is another domain.
• Where it falls short: Claude, Grok and Microsoft Copilot are not among its four engines, and Semrush’s help article says the toolkit has no free trial. Our Semrush AI Toolkit alternatives page goes through the trade-offs.

10. Trakkr (best for Perplexity with DeepSeek and Meta AI daily, plus articles)

Trakkr includes Claude and Grok on every plan, with no per-model fees. Trakkr tracks each brand daily across eight models: Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, DeepSeek and Meta AI. Trakkr’s pricing page (read October 17, 2026) lists Growth at $100/mo, or $1,000 a year, for one brand, 50 prompts, 25 articles a month, three seats and MCP access, with a 14-day free trial that asks for a card.

For Perplexity, Trakkr gives a daily reading on 50 prompts with Claude and Grok in the same run. Where Trakkr falls short: Microsoft Copilot and Google AI Mode are not on Trakkr’s model list, Growth covers one brand, and Trakkr’s REST API starts on Scale at $500/mo. See our Trakkr alternatives page for the wider comparison.

11. SE Ranking (best for Perplexity inside an SEO suite)

SE Ranking puts AI tracking inside its SEO suite. SE Ranking’s Core plan, $129/mo billed monthly or $103.20/mo billed annually, tracks 100 prompts a day across Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, with mention and link tracking, source analysis that shows which pages the engines pull from, and MCP access (seranking.com, read September 25, 2026). SE Ranking shows those answers next to your rankings, audits, backlinks and Search Console data, and SE Ranking’s 14-day free trial needs no card.

For Perplexity, SE Ranking’s source analysis covers the cited-pages view that matters most, at a high prompt count. Where SE Ranking falls short: you pay for a whole SEO suite to get the AI tracking, and Claude, Grok and Microsoft Copilot are not among SE Ranking’s five engines. More on our SE Ranking AI tracker alternatives page.

12. Scrunch AI (best for 125 prompts with Copilot and site audits)

Scrunch AI’s Core plan costs $250 a month for 125 prompts and 5,000 responses a month on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot, with one brand workspace, five user licenses and a 7-day free trial (scrunch.com/pricing, read October 1, 2026). Scrunch AI’s Core also adds site audits and a view of AI bot traffic to your site.

• Best for: a brand that wants a larger Perplexity prompt set next to Copilot, with audits in the same plan.
• What it costs: Scrunch AI’s Core is $250/mo; Enterprise is custom-priced.
• Where it falls short: Claude, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Grok, the API and MCP are on Scrunch AI’s custom Enterprise plan, and the Scrunch pricing page does not state how often Core re-checks. Our Scrunch alternatives page sets it against the field.

13. AthenaHQ (best for a free start with Perplexity included)

AthenaHQ starts free: 300 credits on ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini and Copilot, with unlimited members. AthenaHQ’s Starter is $295 a month for 3,600 credits, one per AI response, across eleven models including Claude, Grok, AI Mode, DeepSeek, Meta AI and Mistral, with unlimited seats and a GA4 and Google Search Console link (athenahq.ai/plans, read September 25, 2026).

For Perplexity, AthenaHQ’s free tier is the one way on this list to run a tracker on Perplexity without paying or starting a trial. Where AthenaHQ falls short: nothing sits between AthenaHQ’s free tier and the $295 Starter, AthenaHQ bills in credits, and AthenaHQ sells the API and extra credits as paid add-ons. AthenaHQ’s pricing page lists no MCP server. See our AthenaHQ alternatives page.

14. Goodie AI (best for 110 prompts with sentiment and strategist support)

Goodie AI’s Core plan tracks five models daily, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and Microsoft Copilot, on 110 prompts for one brand in two countries and two languages. Goodie AI’s Core includes MCP with 50 optimization actions a month, brand sentiment tracking, unlimited seats with AEO strategist support and a 7-day free trial, at $354 a month billed monthly or $295 a month billed annually (higoodie.com/pricing, read October 17, 2026). Goodie AI’s Pro, at $999 a month billed annually, tracks eight models.

• Best for: a brand that wants Perplexity with sentiment scoring and a strategist on hand.
• What it costs: Goodie AI’s Core is $354/mo billed monthly, or $295/mo billed annually.
• Where it falls short: Gemini, Claude and Grok are not on Goodie AI’s Core, and the Goodie pricing page does not name the models Pro adds. Our Goodie AI alternatives page covers it in depth.

Tools we left out, and why

Three well-known tools did not list Perplexity on a plan you can buy when we read their pricing pages on September 25, 2026:

• Peec AI. Peec AI’s Starter, $95/mo on monthly billing, tracks three models you pick from ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI (peec.ai/pricing, read September 25, 2026). Perplexity is not on that Peec AI list. More on our Peec AI alternatives page.
• Profound. Profound’s only public entry is a free 7-day trial on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews; past that, every Profound plan is a custom Enterprise contract with no published price (tryprofound.com/pricing, read September 25, 2026). See Profound alternatives.
• Writesonic. Writesonic’s self-serve plans, from $99 a month, track ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews; Perplexity needs a Writesonic Enterprise contract (writesonic.com/pricing, read September 25, 2026). See Writesonic GEO alternatives.

Promptwatch and the Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit, which earlier versions of this page listed here, now have numbered entries above.

How to check your Perplexity rankings by hand

You can take a first reading today without any tool. It is slow, and it only covers one engine, but it shows you what a tracker automates and gives you a baseline to compare any tool against:

1. Write down ten questions your buyers ask, in their words: “best tool for X”, “X vs Y”, “is X worth it”.
2. Ask each one in a fresh Perplexity thread, signed out or in a private window, so earlier conversations do not shape the answer.
3. Log the answer. Note whether your brand is named, where it is named among the brands, and whether any numbered source points at your site.
4. Copy every source URL and every rival named. Those are the pages the answer comes from.
5. Repeat the pass on at least two more days before you draw conclusions, because the same prompt can return a different answer and different sources from run to run.
6. Keep it in one sheet with a date column, so each new pass compares against the last one.

Ten prompts over three days is thirty answers to log, for one engine, which is where a tracker earns its fee. Our guide to tracking your brand in Perplexity covers the manual method in more depth, and how to rank on Perplexity covers what to change once you know which sources Perplexity trusts.

For the wider field, including tools that do not track Perplexity, see our rundown of the best AI visibility tools. If ChatGPT matters as much to your buyers, the same daily run covers it; see our ChatGPT rank tracker. And to see what Perplexity says about your brand now, start with the Perplexity rank tracker.
