Prices re-checked 2026-09-16 (Asia/Tokyo). Re-verify again the week you ship if that date has moved.
Honesty rules used here: only cite prices and plan shapes we could read on vendor pages (or CiteWeek’s own Whop plan). If a vendor hides the number, we say so. No invented search volumes, citation rates, or “X% of brands.” Category presence of CiteWeek is a desk hypothesis from organic checks, not a dashboard export.
Direct answer
If you need enterprise multi-engine visibility plus an AI marketing workspace, look at Profound (trial is free and limited; paid is sales-led). If you need daily prompt tracking across several AI surfaces at a published self-serve price, Otterly is the clearest public menu today (from $29/mo Lite). Peec is a strong brand/agency fit for AI search analytics, but its pricing page does not publish dollar amounts in HTML this week — you start checkout or talk to sales. CiteWeek is the indie weekly brief: free 3-query check, then Whop Starter at $29/mo (14-day trial) for 10 queries, weekly email, 2 engines — not nine engines, not white-label.
Use the comparison below to pick the job, not to crown a “best tool.”
What job are you buying?
| Job | Better fit (hypothesis) |
|---|---|
| One-off: “Does ChatGPT name me for my category?” | Free check first (CiteWeek or any manual paste) |
| Weekly: named / cited-instead / what to publish next | CiteWeek-shaped brief |
| Daily multi-engine prompt tracking with a public price list | Otterly |
| Deep brand/agency AI search analytics (price often sales-led) | Peec / Profound |
Label: “better fit” is product-shape matching, not a ranking metric we measured.
Side-by-side (week of 2026-09-16)
Profound — tryprofound.com/pricing
What the live page shows today:
- Trial — Free: limited AI Marketer credits; 10 prompts run once; ChatGPT only
- Enterprise — Custom: up to 9 answer engines, tailored prompt plan, SSO/SAML + SOC2, dedicated support
Older secondary writeups still quote self-serve Starter/Growth dollar tiers. Those figures were not on the public pricing page when we checked this week, so this article does not treat them as current list prices.
Honest take: deepest “platform” shape in this set; not the indie weekly-brief wedge.
Otterly — otterly.ai/pricing
Published monthly (re-checked this week):
- Lite — $29/mo: 15 search prompts; 4 engines (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, MS Copilot); Claude / Gemini / Google AI Mode as add-ons
- Standard — $189/mo: 100 prompts; same base engines; API/MCP/Agent Analytics appear at this tier
- Premium — $489/mo: 400 prompts
- Enterprise: from $1,000/mo (page copy)
- Annual billed ~15% off on the page
Honest take: clearest self-serve price ladder for ongoing prompt tracking.
Peec AI — peec.ai/pricing
What the live page shows today: Starter / Pro / Advanced / Enterprise plan names and feature matrix. No dollar amounts appeared in the page HTML on this check. Checkout is “Get started” / Enterprise is “Talk to Sales.” We are not repeating third-party ~$95/$245/$495 figures as facts.
Honest take: budget planning needs a live quote this week.
CiteWeek — citeweek.capyempire.com + Whop Starter
Product shape: weekly AI recommendation / citation checks for a category — were you named, who was named instead, what one page to publish next.
Paid path (Whop primary, plan_1epirh0mVXgF9):
- Starter — $29.00 / month after a 14-day trial
- 10 queries, weekly brief, 2 engines
- Checkout: https://whop.com/checkout/plan_1epirh0mVXgF9
- Stripe TEST on the landing is secondary — do not use as live join CTA
Honest take / gap: CiteWeek still often absent on organic buyer prompts while Profound / Otterly / Peec get named (desk baseline).
How to choose in one minute
- Still never measured? Free check first.
- Daily multi-engine + public price? Otterly Lite if 15 prompts is enough.
- Enterprise engines / SSO? Profound trial → sales.
- Peec shape? Expect a quote — prices weren’t on-page this week.
- Weekly named/instead/publish-next? CiteWeek free check → Whop Starter.
