Compare every AI visibility tool

Q: How often are the comparisons updated?

Each one carries a checked date and the cards sort by it. Vendor pricing changes without notice, so treat anything older than a couple of months as worth verifying — the source link sits on every table.

Q: Do you compare tools that don't involve Citera?

Yes. Peec AI vs Profound has nothing to do with us. When two other tools are the real shortlist, the comparison is more useful if we stay out of it.

Q: Which comparison should I read first?

Pick by what you are replacing. Weighing an AI-native platform, start with Scrunch or Profound. Wondering whether your SEO suite already covers this, read Semrush or Ahrefs. Weighing software against people, read the agency one.

Q: What if a vendor's pricing has changed?

Tell us and we re-verify the page. Figures are the vendor's published rates on the stated date, excluding tax, and annual-billing rates are labelled because that is usually the lower number vendors advertise.

Q: Can I request a comparison you haven't written?

The hero shows every tool we track. If the one you are evaluating has no page yet, ask and it moves up the queue — the research is the slow part, not the writing.

Sourced, dated comparisons across pricing, engine coverage, prompt limits and whether the tool does the work or just reports it.

Agencies

People instead of software. A different purchase, not a pricier one.

Comparison FAQ

Questions about these comparisons

How the figures get checked, how often, and what to do when a vendor changes their pricing page.

You sell one of these products. How are these honest?

Every number comes from the vendor's own published page, with the date we checked printed on the row. Each comparison has sections where we lose — Ahrefs' link index, Semrush's history, Jasper's brand voice, Peec's unlimited seats, Scrunch's crawler analytics, Profound's security certifications. Where a vendor publishes nothing, the cell reads Unknown rather than a gap in our favour.
