The category has grown fast, and the tools now differ a lot in coverage, depth and price. Here are the six worth shortlisting in 2026, and who each one is for. ## At a glance | Tool | Best for | Starting price | | --- | --- | --- | | Get Nodded | Teams that want tracking plus content, crawler, Reddit and SEO tools in one place | $49/mo | | Profound | Enterprises needing the widest engine coverage and compliance | Custom (enterprise only) | | Peec AI | Agencies and large teams that need unlimited seats for reporting | About $95/mo | | Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit | Existing Semrush customers | $99/mo | | Indexly | High-volume content teams on WordPress, Ghost or Webflow | $99/mo | | First Answer | Brands that want guided action plans | $135/mo | ## What to look for - Engine coverage on the plan you'll actually buy, not just the top tier. ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot cover most of the market. - Your own prompts, checked often. Answers vary between runs, so daily or more frequent checks give more reliable numbers. - Citations: which sources the engines relied on. That's your outreach list. - Crawler visibility: whether AI bots can actually reach and read your site. - A path to action: content, publishing and off-site tools, or a team that will do that work for you. ## 1. Get Nodded Tracks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot with visibility, share of voice, citations, sentiment and ChatGPT query fan-out. Adds AI crawler analytics for 32 bots, an AI readiness audit, Search Console and rankings data, researched articles published to 10+ CMSs, LinkedIn posts, a Reddit thread finder and a backlink gap. Plans run from $49 to $699 a month. ## 2. Profound The best-funded player, with up to nine engines, prompt volume data and enterprise features like SSO and SOC 2. Since September 2026 it's sold only through sales after a free trial. See our full Get Nodded vs Profound comparison. ## 3. Peec AI Clean, affordable reporting with unlimited seats and strong citation analysis. Self-serve plans include three engines, and it doesn't write or publish content. See Get Nodded vs Peec AI. ## 4. Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit AI visibility inside the biggest SEO suite, with a useful prompt research database. Coverage is lighter than specialist tools (25 prompts at $99), and costs climb with each user and domain. See Get Nodded vs Semrush. ## 5. Indexly An all-in-one SEO and GEO platform with high content volume, social agents and indexing automation. Publishing is limited to WordPress, Ghost and Webflow. See Get Nodded vs Indexly. ## 6. First Answer Share-of-voice tracking with prioritized action plans. The $135 entry plan covers two engines and one brand, with up to eight engines on Enterprise. See Get Nodded vs First Answer. ## How we picked these tools Each tool here tracks how AI assistants mention brands and is available to buy in 2026. We compared engine coverage, how many prompts you get and how often they're checked, citation data, AI crawler visibility, what the tool helps you do after the report, and published pricing as of October 2026. We make Get Nodded, so we've included where each competitor is the better fit. ## Which tool fits your situation - Lean marketing team that needs tracking and execution in one place: Get Nodded. - Enterprise brand with security reviews and a need for Claude or DeepSeek coverage: Profound. - Agency or large team where many people need logins for reporting: Peec AI. - Team that already pays for Semrush and wants a first look at AI search: Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit. - High-volume content team on WordPress, Ghost or Webflow: Indexly. - Single brand that wants guided action plans and has people to carry them out: First Answer. ## AI visibility, GEO, AEO and LLM visibility: same thing? Mostly, yes. AI visibility is the measurement: how often and how well AI answers mention your brand. Generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO) and LLM optimization are names for the work of improving it. Every tool in this list measures AI visibility; they differ in how much of the optimization work they help with. An AI visibility tool doesn't replace an SEO tool. Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT search both lean on pages that already rank and get cited, so classic SEO still feeds AI answers. ## How to get started with any of them - Write down 20 to 50 questions your buyers ask, in their words. - Add the three to five competitors you meet most often. - Collect two weeks of data before making changes, because answers vary between runs. - Read the sources cited for your most important prompts and fix the gaps there first. - Recheck the same prompts after each change and keep notes on what you published. ## A note on this comparison We make Get Nodded, so read this with that in mind. We've tried to be specific about where the other tool is the better choice. Pricing and features checked against each vendor's public pages in October 2026. If something has changed, tell us and we'll update the page. ## FAQ ### What is an AI visibility tool?
