Keyword.com started as a rank tracker for Google results and now adds AI search visibility on credits. Which alternative fits depends on which AI engines your buyers use, how often you want answers checked, and whether you still need Google rankings in the same tool. Below we compare seven tools on engines, refresh, price and how you start, with Keyword.com as the baseline.
Fair-comparison note:
What Keyword.com’s AI tracker includes, as shown on October 10, 2026
Keyword.com’s pricing page still leads with Google keywords. On October 10, 2026, it showed three self-serve plans, each with a monthly and an annual price (annual billing is sold as a 20% saving), plus a custom tier:
| Keyword.com plan | Billed monthly | Billed annually | What the entry price buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search Visibility | Keyword.com from $4/mo | Keyword.com $36/yr ($3/mo) | 50 Google keywords, weekly updates; AI credits only as an add-on |
| AI Visibility | Keyword.com from $9.80/mo | Keyword.com $94/yr ($7.83/mo) | 20 AI Visibility credits a month; AI tracking only |
| 360° Visibility | Keyword.com from $33/mo | Keyword.com $312/yr ($26/mo) | 1,000 Google keywords updated weekly plus 15 AI credits |
| Custom | Keyword.com from $490/mo | Not stated | Unlimited keywords and credits, tailored support |
Source: keyword.com/pricing, read October 10, 2026. Every self-serve plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, with 100 keywords and 20 credits.
Each Keyword.com plan’s price rises with a selector. Keyword.com’s AI Visibility plan runs from 20 to 2,000 credits, and we quote only the 20-credit entry price. Keyword.com’s 360° plan moves through six keyword tiers, and the package list embedded in Keyword.com’s page priced 1,000 keywords with daily updates at $131 a month billed monthly, with 150 AI credits. Keyword.com’s white-label add-on is $29 a month or $278 a year.
How the credits work. Keyword.com’s pricing-page credit calculator (October 10, 2026) multiplies three numbers: prompts, updates a month (4 for weekly, 30 for daily, 1 for monthly) and a cost per engine. Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot cost 0.25 credits a check, DeepSeek 1, Mistral 2 and Claude 3. Grok is not on the list. Keyword.com’s help centre may show different credit costs, so check before you buy. By the calculator’s formula:
- The $9.80 Keyword.com pack of 20 credits covers 20 prompts checked weekly on one 0.25-credit engine, or 2 prompts checked daily on ChatGPT alone (15 credits).
- One prompt checked daily on Claude uses 90 credits a month.
- Ten prompts checked daily on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Claude come to 1,275 credits a month, against a largest self-serve pack of 2,000.
On the same pricing page, Keyword.com’s AI Visibility plan lists competitor tracking, citation analysis, brand sentiment, prompt research, shareable read-only dashboards and an AI Visibility API. Keyword.com also lists an MCP server for its rank data.
Why teams look past Keyword.com for AI tracking
Keyword.com’s AI side suits a rank-tracking team that wants a few prompts watched next to its keywords. The reasons people compare it come from its own pricing page:
- A credit bill that moves with the engine. In Keyword.com’s calculator a Claude check costs 12 times a ChatGPT check, so adding the engine many B2B buyers use can multiply the bill.
- No Grok. Keyword.com’s calculator names nine engines, and Grok is not one of them.
- Daily checks use credits fast. Checking a prompt daily uses 30 times the credits of checking it monthly, so Keyword.com’s 20-credit entry pack covers only a couple of daily prompts.
- A dashboard, not drafted changes. Keyword.com’s pricing page lists reports, sentiment and an API, not generated schema, FAQ markup or articles.
How we chose these seven
- It records what AI engines say about your brand for prompts you choose: whether you are named or cited, and which brands appear instead.
- It publishes a price you can pay without a sales call, listed on the vendor’s own site.
- It covers something Keyword.com’s AI tracker does not: Grok, a fixed prompt count instead of credits, generated fixes, or a single plan with both rank tracking and AI prompts at a set volume.
- Every figure is dated. Keyword.com was read on October 10, 2026. Rankability and Rankscale’s plans, credit costs and engine count were read on October 9; Otterly.ai’s Lite plan and LLMrefs on October 7; Peec AI’s sentiment reporting on October 5 and its trial on October 9; Peec AI’s plans on October 1; SE Ranking and SE Visible on September 25, 2026.
Cituna comes first because it is ours. The other six follow by the monthly price of the plan in the table, billed monthly, cheapest first. For SE Ranking that is Core, the suite plan that replaces Keyword.com’s rank tracker as well. The numbers help you find an entry; they are not a score.

Cituna does not track Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI, DeepSeek, Mistral or Brave AI, and it does not score sentiment. Pricing in this category changes often; check before you buy.
The 7 best Keyword.com AI tracker alternatives in detail
1. Cituna (best for seven engines daily at a flat price, with fixes written)
Cituna watches how seven AI engines answer the questions your buyers ask, then drafts the change that would put you in the answer. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode are asked your prompts every day on every paid plan, at the same cost per prompt whichever engine it is. For each answer, Cituna logs whether you were named, your position among the brands listed, which of your pages were cited and which competitors were recommended in your place. Where a rival wins, Cituna generates schema, FAQ markup or an llms.txt entry for the page that should have been cited, and for questions your site does not answer, AutoSEO writes up to 30 articles a month on Starter, held as drafts until you approve them. Search Console and API keys come with every paid plan, and Pro adds keyword and SERP-rank data.
- Best for: a marketing or SEO team whose buyers ask Claude and Grok as well as ChatGPT, and who want a bill that does not change with the engine.
- What it costs: Cituna Starter is $39 a month for one brand and 10 prompts checked daily on all seven engines (2,100 answers a month); Cituna Pro is $119 for three brands, 30 prompts and five seats; Cituna Max is $399 for ten brands, 90 prompts and 15 seats. Every plan is on the pricing page.
- Where it falls short against Keyword.com: Cituna does not track Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek or Mistral, does not score sentiment, and is not a Google rank tracker at Keyword.com’s keyword volumes. Cituna’s trial is 3 days and needs a card; Keyword.com offers 14 days with no card.
2. Otterly.ai (best for Copilot on a short list)
Otterly.ai’s Lite plan is $29 a month, billed monthly, for 15 prompts checked daily on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot, with unlimited team members (otterly.ai/pricing, October 7, 2026). On October 1, 2026, Otterly.ai sold Gemini and Google AI Mode as $9-a-month add-ons on Lite and Claude as a $29 add-on, and did not sell Grok.
- Best for: a small team that wants Copilot, which Keyword.com also covers, on a fixed prompt count instead of credits.
- What it costs: Otterly.ai is $29, $189 or $489 a month.
- Where it falls short: Otterly.ai’s API and MCP access start on the $189 Standard plan, where Keyword.com lists an API on its AI Visibility plan, and there is no Grok. See our Otterly alternatives.
3. LLMrefs (best for eleven engines, one flat fee)
LLMrefs sells one All in One plan, listed on October 7, 2026 at a limited-time $79 a month, for 500 prompts on eleven engines, Claude, Grok, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI and DeepSeek among them. LLMrefs seats and projects are unlimited, and the plan includes an API, CSV export, a 7-day trial and targeting in more than 50 countries (llmrefs.com/pricing).
- Best for: a team that wants Claude, Grok and Copilot on one flat fee, with no per-engine credit maths.
- What it costs: LLMrefs is $79 a month.
- Where it falls short: LLMrefs answers refresh weekly, and LLMrefs reports rather than drafting changes. See LLMrefs alternatives.
4. Peec AI (best for sentiment and share of voice)
Peec AI reports visibility, position, sentiment and share of voice each day against the competitors you name (read October 5, 2026). Peec AI’s Starter is $95 a month billed monthly, or $80 billed annually, for 50 prompts on three models chosen from ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI, with unlimited users. Peec AI’s Pro at $245 holds 150 prompts and Peec AI’s Advanced at $495 holds 350 (peec.ai/pricing, October 1, 2026). Peec AI offers a free trial, length not stated (October 9, 2026).
- Best for: a brand team that values Keyword.com’s sentiment view and wants 50 daily prompts at a fixed price.
- What it costs: Peec AI is $95, $245 or $495 a month; Enterprise is quoted.
- Where it falls short: three engines at a time on Peec AI’s self-serve plans, with Claude and Grok kept for Enterprise. See our Peec AI alternatives.
5. Rankability (best for Google keywords and AI queries for agencies)
Rankability pairs AI tracking with Google keyword tracking and content work, which makes it the closest single-plan swap for Keyword.com’s 360° bundle among dedicated tools. Rankability’s Starter is $97 a month, or $970 a year, for 100 AI queries, 50 Google keywords, 20 content projects and 10 Local Pack scans, with unlimited client workspaces and team members and API and MCP access. Every Rankability plan checks 11 platforms daily, Claude, Grok, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek and Meta AI among them; Rankability’s Agency plan is $297 and Agency Pro $497 (rankability.com/pricing, October 9, 2026).
- Best for: an agency that wants AI queries on a fixed count, Grok included, next to some keyword tracking and client content.
- What it costs: Rankability is $97, $297 or $497 a month; yearly plans cost ten months.
- Where it falls short: Rankability’s Starter holds 50 Google keywords, against 1,000 in Keyword.com’s cheapest 360° tier, so a rank-heavy team may keep Keyword.com for keywords. See our Rankability alternatives.
6. Rankscale (best for the longest engine list, on credits)
Rankscale also sells credits whose cost depends on the engine: on October 9, 2026, Rankscale’s calculator charged 0.25 credits for a ChatGPT run and 2 for a Claude run. Rankscale’s monthly plans start at Pro, $99 for 1,200 credits, which Rankscale estimates at about 4,800 AI responses; Rankscale’s Pro+ at $229 adds a REST API, Growth at $385 adds white-label reports, and Rankscale lists Enterprise at $780 (rankscale.ai/pricing, October 9, 2026). Rankscale’s home page counts 17 or more engines on all plans, Claude, Grok and Microsoft Copilot included, and Rankscale offers a 7-day trial of Pro.
- Best for: a team comfortable with Keyword.com’s credit model that wants Grok and a wider engine list.
- What it costs: Rankscale is $99, $229, $385 or $780 a month.
- Where it falls short: the Rankscale bill is still hard to forecast, with Claude at eight times a ChatGPT run, and Rankscale’s API starts at $229. See our Rankscale alternatives.
7. SE Ranking (best for a full SEO suite with daily AI prompts)
SE Ranking is another rank tracker and SEO suite with AI tracking built in. SE Ranking’s Core plan is $129 a month billed monthly, or $103.20 a month billed annually, and includes 100 daily AI prompts on Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, with MCP access, next to rank tracking, site audits and backlink research, and a 14-day free trial with no card. SE Ranking’s standalone AI dashboard, SE Visible, starts at $99 a month for 200 prompts and three projects, with a 10-day trial (seranking.com and visible.seranking.com, September 25, 2026).
- Best for: a team replacing Keyword.com’s rank tracker as well, which wants a fixed 100 AI prompts a day inside the same suite.
- What it costs: SE Ranking Core is $129 a month billed monthly; SE Visible from $99 a month.
- Where it falls short: five engines, with Claude listed as coming soon on September 25, 2026, and no Grok or Copilot. Read our SE Ranking AI tracker alternatives.
How to pick a Keyword.com alternative
Start with what you pay Keyword.com for. If Google rankings are the main job and AI is a side view, keep it, or move both jobs to SE Ranking or Rankability. If AI answers are now the main job, price your real prompt set first: write down how many prompts, which engines and how often, and run the numbers through Keyword.com’s calculator. Ten daily prompts with Claude come to 1,275 credits a month, more than half of Keyword.com’s largest self-serve pack.
Then match the need:
- Claude and Grok daily, fixed price, fixes written: Cituna, from $39.
- Copilot on a short list: Otterly.ai, from $29.
- Eleven engines, refreshed weekly: LLMrefs, $79.
- Sentiment and share of voice: Peec AI, from $95.
- Keywords, AI queries and client content in one plan: Rankability, from $97.
- Credits with the widest engine list: Rankscale, from $99.
- A suite swap with daily AI prompts: SE Ranking Core, $129.
