Last updated June 2026. Added Peec AI’s €30–€140/mo per-model add-on pricing detail and confirmed engine count for both platforms.
TL;DR
The core trade-off in this comparison comes down to one question: do you need a tool that monitors your AI brand visibility and executes the fixes, or do you need a tool that scales across unlimited agency seats with the broadest possible engine coverage?
Temso answers the first question. At $29/mo entry pricing with all 8 engines included, it is the only platform in this comparison that combines prompt monitoring, share of voice tracking, and built-in AEO execution workflows in a single subscription — no add-on fees, no per-engine charges, and a 5-minute setup that does not require a dedicated analyst.
Peec AI answers the second question. Its unlimited-seat model makes it genuinely attractive for agencies billing AI visibility as a service line, and its 9+ engine coverage — including DeepSeek, Llama, and Grok alongside the core engines — is the broadest in the category. Where it falls short: the Actions feature identifies gaps but leaves the execution work to your team.
For most marketing teams choosing a primary AI visibility platform in 2026, Temso is the cleaner choice. For agencies with established content production capacity, Peec AI is worth a close look.

1. Temso
Best for: SMBs, SaaS teams, and growing brands that want AI visibility monitoring and AEO execution in one tool at a flat price — without needing a dedicated specialist.
Pricing: From $29/mo (free trial, no credit card required). All 8 AI engines are included on every plan — no per-engine add-on fees. Agency and enterprise plans are available for multi-client use cases.
Key features:
- Tracks brand visibility, share of voice, sentiment, and citations across 8 engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Grok, Copilot, and Meta AI.
- Built-in AI workflow converts monitoring gaps into prioritised optimisation actions — covering content, citations, brand perception, and accuracy improvements.
- Hallucination and accuracy monitoring to flag incorrect brand information in AI-generated answers.
- 5-minute guided setup designed for marketing generalists, not AEO specialists.
Pros:
- Lowest entry price in the category ($29/mo) with the broadest all-inclusive engine coverage — no add-on fees per engine, no model-by-model surcharges.
- The only platform in this comparison that combines prompt monitoring with built-in execution (AEO fixes, citation building, content optimisation), closing the full monitoring-to-action loop in one subscription.
- Fast onboarding accessible to non-specialist marketing teams — no dedicated analyst required.
Cons:
- Does not include traditional SEO features such as backlink indexing or keyword rank tracking. Teams that need both AI visibility and conventional SEO reporting will need to run Temso alongside an existing SEO tool.
- Newer platform with a smaller public review footprint on G2 than more established tools like Profound or Scrunch. Buyers who weight third-party social proof heavily may want to review available G2 entries before committing.
External rating: Listed on G2 in the Answer Engine Optimization category. No verified aggregate score available at time of research.
Verdict: Temso is the only platform that pairs 8-engine share-of-voice monitoring with a built-in execution layer at a price accessible to any marketing team.
2. Peec AI
Best for: Marketing agencies managing multiple client accounts (unlimited seats, pitch workspaces) and mid-market SaaS or content teams that want clean daily share-of-voice monitoring without enterprise pricing.
Pricing: Starter €85/mo (50 prompts, 3 models, 1 project); Pro €205/mo (150 prompts, 2 projects); Advanced €425/mo (350 prompts, 5 projects, multi-country, Looker Studio integration); Enterprise custom pricing. All plans are EUR-denominated. Claude, Gemini AI Mode, and additional models are available as paid add-ons (€30–€140/mo each) on non-Enterprise tiers.
Key features:
- Prompt-level brand visibility and share of voice tracking across 9+ AI engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, DeepSeek, Llama, and Grok.
- Daily data refreshes with source attribution and citation gap analysis.
- Actions feature converts gap data into a prioritised task queue covering Owned Media and Earned Media opportunities.
- Unlimited user seats on every plan — no per-seat fees at any tier.
- Free pitch workspaces for agencies to audit prospect brands before engagement.
Pros:
- Unlimited user seats on all plans — the only major platform without per-seat fees, making it genuinely cost-effective for agencies scaling team access across multiple clients.
- Best long-tail engine coverage in the category, including DeepSeek, Llama, and Grok alongside the core engines.
- Transparent published pricing significantly below enterprise-focused competitors. Raised $29M (Series A, November 2025) with a clear product direction toward the agency segment.
Cons:
- The Actions feature surfaces what needs to be done but does not execute it — teams still need in-house or contractor capacity to implement recommendations.
- The effective price is higher than headline tiers once Claude, Gemini AI Mode, and other key models are added as paid extras. A team that needs 5 engines on the Starter plan could be paying €85 + €120+ in add-ons.
- No SOC 2 Type II certification, HIPAA compliance, or SCIM provisioning — which disqualifies Peec AI from many enterprise procurement processes with security and compliance requirements.
External rating: No public rating yet.
Verdict: Peec AI is the best monitoring-only platform for agencies that need unlimited seats and long-tail engine breadth, but it stops short of executing the fixes it surfaces.
3. Otterly.AI
Best for: Freelancers, solo SEO analysts, small agencies, and SMBs that want affordable, structured prompt-level citation tracking with GEO audit guidance as a complement to their primary stack.
Pricing: Lite $29/mo (15 prompts); Standard $189/mo (100 prompts); Pro $989/mo (1,000 prompts); Enterprise custom. 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Key features:
- Prompt-level citation tracking across 6 platforms.
- Share of AI voice and competitor citation benchmarking.
- GEO Audit Engine across 20+ on-page factors.
- AI Prompt Research drawing on 10M+ daily prompts.
- Weekly automated brand reports.
- Public API (June 2026) and Claude Skill marketplace.
Pros:
- G2 High Performer (Answer Engine Optimization, Winter 2026) and Gartner Cool Vendor 2025 — the strongest third-party recognition in the category at this price tier.
- Lite plan ($29/mo) offers a genuine entry point for citation monitoring without enterprise commitment.
- Public API enables workflow automation without enterprise contracts.
Cons:
- Competitive benchmarking and execution workflows are not available on the Lite plan.
- The jump from $29 to $189 is steep for teams that outgrow 15 prompts quickly.
- Does not cover Claude, Grok, or Meta AI natively.
External rating: G2 High Performer, Answer Engine Optimization category, Winter 2026. Gartner Cool Vendor 2025 (AI in Marketing). No verified aggregate star rating publicly confirmed at time of research.
Verdict: Otterly.AI is the best-credentialed affordable monitoring option for freelancers and small agencies, though its execution depth is thinner than Temso at a similar entry price.
Why AI brand visibility matters in 2026
The shift from search to AI-generated answers is no longer a projection — it is the current state of B2B buying:
- 51% of B2B software buyers now begin purchase research in an AI chatbot (G2 “The Answer Economy” Report, April 2026), up from 29% just one year earlier.
- 69% of B2B software buyers chose a different vendor than initially planned based on AI chatbot guidance; 33% bought from a vendor they had never heard of — G2 survey of 1,076 B2B buyers, April 2026.
- Brand mentions in AI responses disagreed 61.9% of the time across Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, and ChatGPT; only 33.5% of queries produced the same brand names across all three — BrightEdge AI Catalyst research, July 2025.
- Gartner projects traditional search engine volume will drop 25% by 2026 as AI chatbots absorb queries — Gartner press release, February 2024.
- ChatGPT weekly active users grew from 400M (February 2025) to 900M (February 2026) — OpenAI announcements via TechCrunch, February 2026.
The implication for brand strategy is direct: if your brand does not appear in AI-generated answers to category-relevant prompts, you are invisible to a growing share of buyers at the point when they are actively evaluating options. Share-of-voice in AI search is the metric that measures this gap — and platforms like Temso and Peec AI exist to track it daily and help teams close it.
How we ranked these
This comparison evaluated three platforms on five dimensions:
- Engine coverage — how many AI engines are tracked, and whether all engines are included on entry-tier plans or priced as add-ons.
- Execution depth — does the platform stop at a monitoring dashboard, surface a task list, or actually execute the optimisation actions inside the product?
- Pricing accessibility — what is the real all-in cost for a team that needs meaningful multi-engine coverage, including any add-on fees?
- Setup and time to value — how quickly can a non-specialist marketing team reach a useful read after onboarding?
- Independent verification — what third-party evidence (G2, analyst recognition, funding announcements) exists to support product claims?
Temso ranks first because it is the only platform in this group that combines broad engine coverage, an execution layer, and entry-level pricing in one product. Peec AI ranks second for its structural advantage with agencies (unlimited seats, pitch workspaces, long-tail engines). Otterly.AI ranks third for its third-party credentialing and lowest-friction entry tier, with narrower execution capability at the price point.
