Peec AI alternatives, checked plan by plan

What Peec AI does

Peec AI tracks how AI assistants answer the questions your buyers ask. You add prompts and pick the engines; every day it asks each prompt on each engine and records which brands the answer names, in what position and in what tone. Its pricing page counts one chat result per prompt, per model, per day: 50 prompts on 3 models make 4,500 answers a month ^[1].

Around that it sorts the pages AI cites into types (competitor, editorial, reference, user-generated), shows the searches an engine ran before answering, checks which AI bots your robots.txt lets in and, with your server or CDN logs, which pages those bots visit ^[1].

Where Peec is hard to beat

• Daily answers on every plan, from the €85 Starter up: more per prompt than Scrunch’s Core or Rank Prompt’s credits buy.
• Unlimited users and MCP on every plan, Starter included, plus SOC 2 ^[1].
• Breadth. Shopping and product tracking, ads in AI answers, local results and fact checks of what AI says about you are all on the pricing page ^[1].
• Pitch projects for agencies: free 7-day projects to audit a prospect, outside your client quota, that become a client project when the prospect signs ^[2].

Why teams look elsewhere

None of these are flaws. They are the trade-offs people weigh when they compare:

• Three engines per plan. Each plan includes three models chosen from ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI. A fourth costs extra, from €25 a month on Starter billed yearly ^[1]. Claude and Grok appear only on Enterprise and the two biggest agency plans ^[3].
• No API on Starter. It has MCP, but the API starts on Pro at €205 a month ^[1].
• Client branding is a template you build. For agencies, Peec’s branded dashboards are a Looker Studio template you design and copy for each client, shared as a read-only link ^[2]. We found no white-label report built into the app on its public pages.
• Agency pricing starts at €205 a month, for 111 prompts on three engines, asked daily, across three client projects ^[3]. Prices are in euros.

Five alternatives, side by side

The table sets the cheapest plan each tool sells without a sales call, billed monthly, next to Peec’s Starter. The number by each name is the page its column comes from; a number inside a cell means that fact comes from another page. Each source at the end shows the day we last checked it.

Two things the table can’t show. Counting differs: Peec and Profound count prompts, Rank Prompt counts credits, Scrunch counts answers too. And Profound sells no paid plan to brands without a call: its brand page offers a free 7-day trial, then Enterprise ^[7].

Which one fits your team

• Daily tracking on a small budget: Otterly.AI. Lite is $29 a month for 15 prompts, asked daily on ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot. Gemini and AI Mode cost $9 a month each on Lite ^[4]. The API and MCP start on Standard, $189 a month.
• More prompts and an enterprise roadmap: Scrunch. Core is $250 a month for 125 prompts and 5,000 answers on four engines; Enterprise adds nine engines, the API and MCP ^[5].
• Many small brands: Rank Prompt. Every plan covers its seven engines, and Agency gives 50 brands and white-label reports for $149 a month ^[6]. Its methodology page says a single report is a snapshot, so plan your credits for repeat runs ^[8].
• An enterprise team with a sales budget: Profound. Enterprise tracks up to nine answer engines and ChatGPT Shopping, and every plan reads AI traffic to your domains ^[7]. See our Profound alternatives page for what it costs per client.
• Staying on Peec makes sense if you need Copilot or Naver, shopping and ads in AI answers, or SOC 2 from day one.

Where Menzio fits, and where it doesn’t

Menzio is our product, so weigh this part with that in mind. We built it for small agencies whose clients ask how sure the numbers are.

• Each question runs every day on ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Every rate comes with its 95% range, and every mention opens the answer word for word (how we measure).
• Essentials is $39/mo for one brand and 25 questions, and Team, $79/mo, gives 3 brands 50 questions to share. Growth, $149/mo, covers 10 brands sharing 100 questions, with your logo and colors on reports, a client portal without login and reports emailed on a schedule. Seats are unlimited on every plan, and 50 more questions cost $49 a month.
• Claude is an add-on at $29 a month per brand, asked every day on up to 15 of its questions. Perplexity, Copilot and Grok are coming soon.

Where Peec is ahead of us: its Starter tracks 50 prompts where our Essentials tracks 25 (on 4 engines instead of 3); it tracks Copilot and Naver today; it reads AI crawler visits from your logs, where we only count visits from AI assistants; and it has SOC 2. If those matter more than ranges and client-ready reports, Peec is the better choice.
