Compiled from each vendor’s public pricing page: LLMrefs figures from llmrefs.com/pricing, checked July 16, 2026; Peec AI figures from peec.ai/pricing, checked August 27, 2026. Peec AI: Starter covers three models; tier prices render client-side. “Not published” marks a row the vendor does not state publicly; it is not a “no”. Cituna checks all six engines daily and does not track Microsoft Copilot. MCP read tools are included from $39, write tools from Pro ($119); MCP is not exclusive to us. Prices change often: verify before buying. Spot an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
Reading the difference
On cost per engine at entry, the crudest useful way to normalise these two, LLMrefs works out at about $7.18 per engine per month ($79 across 11) and Peec AI at about $13.33 ($80 across 3–6). LLMrefs is the better ratio, by roughly $6.15 per engine. Treat that as a sanity check rather than a verdict: an engine you do not care about is not worth anything, and Peec AI’s number improves immediately if its engine mix happens to be the one you need.
The confirmed capability split between these two is narrow enough to state exactly: LLMrefs covers Claude, Grok and generated fixes (free tools) and Peec AI does not; Peec AI covers an MCP server and LLMrefs does not. That is the whole difference on the rows both vendors publish, everything else in the matrix either matches or is unpublished by one of them, and an unpublished row is not a “no”.
Worth knowing before you shortlist either: neither LLMrefs nor Peec AI offers Search Console integration. If any of those is a requirement, this comparison is the wrong shortlist and you should widen it rather than pick the better of two tools that both miss what you need.
The tier ladders are worth reading side by side, because the entry price means something different on each. LLMrefs: Free single-keyword tier · paid from $79. Peec AI: Starter $80 (3 models) · higher tiers add models. That is where most of the apparent price gap between these two either disappears or widens sharply, depending on which engines you actually need.
One practical difference that does not appear in any feature list: LLMrefs bills as flat monthly and Peec AI as flat. A credit-metered plan and a flat plan are hard to compare over a year because only one of them has a predictable ceiling, so run your expected prompt volume through both before treating the entry prices as comparable at all.
Which to choose
Choose LLMrefs if…
LLMrefs is the longest engine list in the category, refreshed weekly. Against Peec AI specifically, it is the cheaper entry by $1 a month, it covers more engines at entry (11 against 3–6) and and it bills as flat monthly where Peec AI bills as flat.
- eleven engines, the longest published list of any tool here, including Claude, Grok and Copilot
- a genuinely free single-keyword tier that keeps working rather than expiring
- a set of free standalone tools alongside the tracker
What you give up:
- a weekly refresh rather than daily, so a change made on Monday may not be visible until the following week
- no Search Console integration and no MCP server
- the free tier is limited to one keyword, which is a snapshot rather than a monitor
Choose Peec AI if…
Peec AI is the analytics-first choice: sentiment, multi-country and unlimited seats. Against LLMrefs specifically, you are paying $1 a month more than LLMrefs for it, it covers fewer engines at entry (3–6 against 11) and and it bills as flat where LLMrefs bills as flat monthly.
- sentiment analysis and multi-country tracking, which is the deepest reporting layer among the self-serve tools here
- unlimited seats on paid plans, so the whole team can read the dashboard without a per-seat conversation
- an MCP server included on paid plans, and published data studies drawn from a very large source corpus
What you give up:
- neither Claude nor Grok appears on its published engine list, which is two of the six engines buyers most often ask about
- the Starter covers three of the six models it lists, so the entry price is not the full-coverage price
- tier prices render client-side, so a crawler that does not execute JavaScript sees no price at all: and no Search Console integration
