seoClarity is an enterprise SEO platform that now sells an AI search product beside it. Which alternative fits depends on what you are replacing: the whole suite, or only the AI part. Below we compare ten tools that publish a price on engines, cost and how you start, with seoClarity as the baseline, and list the quote-only suites in their own section.
Fair-comparison note:
What seoClarity offers for AI visibility
seoClarity is an enterprise SEO platform: rank tracking, content, technical SEO and keyword research. seoClarity’s AI search product is Clarity ArcAI. seoClarity’s ArcAI visibility page, read October 7, 2026, lists nine engines: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Claude, DeepSeek and Grok. The same page describes brand mention and citation tracking, competitive benchmarking, topical gap analysis, citation monitoring and week-over-week trend analysis, and says visibility is checked weekly by default, with daily tracking available.
The price is where many teams stop. seoClarity’s ArcAI pricing page, read the same day, sells a Core package for brand visibility, competitors, sentiment and reporting, a Discovery add-on for AI bot activity and an Accuracy add-on for brand protection, which seoClarity’s product menu describes as detecting hallucinations and errors in AI responses. Each has an “Ask for a Quote” button, and prompt queries start at 500. seoClarity’s platform pricing page lists ArcAI among its optional add-ons and prices the SEO plans: Research and Content from $2,500 a month, Technical SEO from $3,200 and Enterprise from $4,500, with the Rankings plan custom-priced by keyword volume from a 2,000-keyword minimum. seoClarity’s footnote calls those figures representative as of October 11, 2022 and asks for a custom quote. seoClarity’s “Free Trial” button leads to a demo request page that offers a free custom trial after the demo.
Why teams look elsewhere
Teams shopping for a seoClarity alternative usually say one of three things:
- “We only want the AI part.” These teams already run keyword and technical SEO in another tool, and a seoClarity platform priced from $2,500 a month is a lot to buy for AI answer tracking.
- “We want a price before a demo.” ArcAI has no number on the page, so the first step is a sales conversation.
- “We want to start this week.” Every numbered tool below can be bought or trialled online.
How we chose these ten
Each tool had to pass three tests, with seoClarity kept as the baseline rather than counted as an entry:
- It measures AI answers. It records whether engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews mention or cite a brand for prompts you choose or review. Classic SEO suites without AI answer tracking, which fill most general “seoClarity alternatives” lists, are out.
- It publishes a price you can buy at. This page is for buyers leaving the quote-based band, so every numbered entry has a starting price on its own pricing page and a way to start without a sales call. The quote-only options are covered in their own section further down.
- Its facts are on record with a date. seoClarity, LLMrefs and Rankscale’s engine list from their own pages, read October 7, 2026. Otterly.ai, Peec AI, Semrush, Rankscale’s plans, Scrunch AI and AthenaHQ from each vendor’s pricing page, October 1; Ahrefs from its Brand Radar page, October 2; Promptwatch from its pricing page, September 25. A dash means the vendor does not say.
Cituna comes first because it is ours and it is built for the “only the AI part” buyer. The rest follow in order of their lowest paid monthly plan. The numbers help you find an entry; they are not a ranking.

seoClarity from seoclarity.net, LLMrefs from llmrefs.com/pricing and Rankscale from rankscale.ai, October 7, 2026 (Rankscale’s $99 Pro price from rankscale.ai/pricing, read October 1 and still shown October 7). Cituna from cituna.com/pricing. A dash means the vendor’s page does not say. Cituna checks seven AI engines daily and does not track Microsoft Copilot or DeepSeek.
The alternatives in detail
1. Cituna (best for AI visibility without an SEO suite)
Cituna does one job, AI visibility, and does the follow-up for you. Every day it asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode the questions your buyers ask, then lists the prompts where a competitor appears and you do not, with your share of voice against every brand in those answers. For each gap it writes the fix: schema, FAQ markup, an llms.txt entry and the page change. AutoSEO then writes 30 articles a month on Starter, 90 on Pro and 300 on Max, and publishes them to WordPress, Shopify, a GitHub repository or any CMS by webhook, or holds them for review. A native Google Search Console connection shows whether the work moved real clicks, the kind of proof a seoClarity user is used to having, and an MCP server lets an AI agent read the data.
- Best for: a brand or agency that runs SEO in another tool and wants AI answers watched daily, at a price on the page, with the work done.
- What it costs: $39, $119 or $399 a month for 10, 30 or 90 prompts, with all seven engines on every plan; Pro covers three brands and Max ten (cituna.com/pricing).
- Where it falls short against seoClarity: it is not an SEO suite, so there is no keyword rank tracking or technical crawl, and it does not track Microsoft Copilot or DeepSeek, both of which ArcAI lists.
2. Otterly.ai (best for Microsoft Copilot on a small budget)
Otterly.ai is a light monitor with the lowest paid plan on this page. Otterly.ai’s Lite is $29 a month for 15 prompts checked daily on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot, with unlimited team members. Otterly.ai sells Gemini and Google AI Mode as $9 add-ons each and Claude as a $29 add-on, and Grok is not offered (otterly.ai/pricing, October 1, 2026).
- Best for: a small team whose buyers use Microsoft Copilot.
- What it costs: Otterly.ai is $29, $189 or $489 a month.
- Where it falls short: 15 prompts on Lite, paid add-ons for three engines, no Grok, and no fixes written for you.
3. LLMrefs (best for many engines on one flat fee)
LLMrefs sells one flat plan. On October 7, 2026, the LLMrefs All in One plan was $79 a month, marked “limited time only”, for 500 prompts across every engine it covers at no extra fee, with unlimited team members and projects, CSV export, API access and geo-targeting in more than 50 countries, and a 7-day free trial (llmrefs.com/pricing). LLMrefs shows eleven engines, ChatGPT and ChatGPT Search counted apart, with Claude, Grok, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI and DeepSeek among them, and builds prompts from your keywords.
- Best for: an agency or in-house team that wants many engines and many projects on one predictable bill.
- What it costs: LLMrefs is $79 a month.
- Where it falls short: reports refresh weekly, not daily, and there is no fix layer. See LLMrefs alternatives.
4. Peec AI (best for sentiment and competitor reporting)
Peec AI suits teams that liked ArcAI’s sentiment view: Peec AI’s dashboards show how a brand is described as well as whether it appears. Peec AI’s Starter is $95 a month, or $80 billed annually, for 50 prompts on three models you choose from ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI, with unlimited users. Peec AI’s Pro ($245) and Advanced ($495) raise prompts to 150 and 350, and Claude and Grok are on its Enterprise plan (peec.ai/pricing, October 1, 2026).
- Best for: a brand team that reports tone and competitor share to leadership.
- What it costs: Peec AI is $95, $245 or $495 a month; Enterprise is custom.
- Where it falls short: three engines per plan, with Claude and Grok only on the custom tier.
5. Promptwatch (best for API and MCP on the first plan)
Promptwatch puts MCP and API access on its first plan. On September 25, 2026, Promptwatch’s Essential was $95 a month for 50 prompts and 6,000 responses on four models you choose from OpenAI, Perplexity, Google, Claude, Gemini, Meta, DeepSeek and Grok, with country-level tracking and a 7-day free trial. Promptwatch’s Professional ($245) adds agent analytics and five AEO articles a month, and Business ($579) adds state and city tracking (promptwatch.com/pricing).
- Best for: a team that wants to pipe AI visibility data into its own tools from day one.
- What it costs: Promptwatch is $95, $245 or $579 a month, with agency plans from $199.
- Where it falls short: four models per plan, so wider coverage means choosing which engines to drop.
6. Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit (best for teams moving to Semrush)
The Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit adds AI tracking to the Semrush suite, the closest thing here to seoClarity’s “SEO platform plus AI” model at a published price. The Semrush Base plan is $99 a month per domain, billed annually, for 25 custom prompts with daily AI rankings across ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini and Perplexity, with a free trial (semrush.com/pricing/ai, October 1, 2026).
- Best for: a team moving its SEO from seoClarity to Semrush, or already there.
- What it costs: Semrush charges $99 a month per domain, billed annually.
- Where it falls short: 25 prompts per domain, each extra domain billed again, and no Claude or Grok. See our Semrush AI Toolkit alternatives.
7. Rankscale (best for engine breadth on a credit budget)
Rankscale covers more engines than most trackers, priced in credits rather than seats. Rankscale’s home page, read October 7, 2026, says it tracks 17+ engines on every plan, naming ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek, Mistral, Meta’s Muse Spark, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, and offers a free trial. As of October 1, 2026, Rankscale’s monthly plans start at Pro, $99 for 1,200 credits, which Rankscale puts at about 4,800 AI responses; Rankscale’s Essentials is billed yearly only, at $204 a year. Rankscale bundles citations, sentiment and page audits, with white-label at the $385 Growth tier (rankscale.ai/pricing).
- Best for: a team that wants ArcAI-like engine breadth in a self-serve tool and is happy to budget by usage.
- What it costs: Rankscale is from $99 a month for Pro.
- Where it falls short: each engine query spends credits, typically a quarter of one, and a Claude run used 2 on Rankscale’s calculator on September 25, 2026, so daily multi-engine tracking is a calculation; its Search Console connection is still in beta.
8. Ahrefs Brand Radar (best for market-wide AI mention research)
Ahrefs Brand Radar suits research more than daily tracking of your own prompts. The Brand Radar AI Visibility Index shows how often any brand appears across about 448 million prompts a month that Ahrefs runs itself, at $199 a month for one AI platform or $699 for all six it covers: Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. Ahrefs’s Custom Prompts, for your own questions, start at $50 a month for 2,500 checks, and Brand Radar can be bought without a paid Ahrefs plan (ahrefs.com/brand-radar, October 2, 2026).
- Best for: a strategy team sizing how often a category’s brands appear in AI answers.
- What it costs: Ahrefs charges $199 or $699 a month for the index; Custom Prompts from $50.
- Where it falls short: the index re-tests its prompts monthly, and Grok is not offered. See Ahrefs Brand Radar pricing.
9. Scrunch AI (best for an enterprise platform you can trial)
Scrunch AI is enterprise software you can start on yourself. Scrunch AI’s Core is $250 a month for 125 prompts and 5,000 responses on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot, with five site audits a month, one brand, five users and a 7-day trial. Scrunch AI keeps Claude, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Grok, the API and single sign-on on its custom Enterprise plan (scrunch.com/pricing, October 1, 2026).
- Best for: a large team that wants to test a dedicated platform before it signs an enterprise deal.
- What it costs: Scrunch AI’s Core is $250 a month, and Enterprise is custom.
- Where it falls short: most engines past the first four need the Enterprise contract, which puts you back in a quote.
10. AthenaHQ (best for a free tier, then eleven models)
AthenaHQ starts free. AthenaHQ’s Essential tier gives 300 credits, one per AI response, on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. AthenaHQ’s Starter, at $295 a month, gives 3,600 credits across eleven models, adding Google AI Mode, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Meta AI and Mistral, and connects GA4 and Search Console (athenahq.ai/plans, October 1, 2026).
- Best for: a mid-market team that wants to try for free, then match ArcAI’s engine breadth with traffic data alongside.
- What it costs: AthenaHQ is free, then $295 a month; Enterprise is custom.
- Where it falls short: credits count responses, so every added model shrinks your prompt budget, and the API is extra.
If you want to stay on an enterprise suite
Some teams leave seoClarity for another platform rather than a tracker. Those options are sold the same way as ArcAI, by quote, so they sit outside this page’s price test:
- BrightEdge includes its AI Catalyst module in every BrightEdge SEO Platform subscription, and BrightEdge’s AI Catalyst page names Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity (October 5, 2026). BrightEdge publishes no price. Our BrightEdge alternatives page covers it.
- Conductor meters AI Search Credits inside its Essentials, Growth and Enterprise tiers, with no dollar figure on Conductor’s pricing page and a 3-week free trial without a card (October 7, 2026). See Conductor alternatives.
- Profound is a dedicated platform with a 7-day trial and then a custom Profound Enterprise contract (October 1, 2026). See Profound alternatives.
Which seoClarity alternative fits you
- You want AI visibility without an SEO suite, seven engines daily with Claude and Grok, and the fixes and articles done: Cituna, from $39 a month.
- Your buyers use Microsoft Copilot and the budget is small: Otterly.ai.
- You want the most engines on one flat bill and weekly data is enough: LLMrefs.
- You report sentiment to leadership: Peec AI.
- You want the data in your own tools through an API or MCP from the first plan: Promptwatch.
- You are moving your SEO to Semrush or Ahrefs: the Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit, or Ahrefs Brand Radar for market research.
- You want ArcAI-like breadth, self-serve: Rankscale on credits, or AthenaHQ from a free tier.
- You are staying enterprise but want to trial first: Scrunch AI.
- You want rank tracking, technical SEO and AI search in one contract: staying on seoClarity is reasonable; ask for the custom trial and check ArcAI first.
