CiteGraph against the other AI visibility tools: prices, limits and measured results.
CiteGraph shows founders and marketing teams whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity recommend their product, and writes the pages that fix it, from $19 a month for ChatGPT alone, or $29 for all four. This page sets it beside the tools you are probably weighing it against. Every price links to the page we read and the day we read it. Where a competitor does not publish a number, this page says so instead of estimating one. And the visibility table is our own measurement of this category, the one where CiteGraph comes last.

CiteGraph vs CrowdReply
CrowdReply answers the same problem a different way: it posts comments in communities and sells editorial links, rather than telling you what to change on your own page. Full breakdown, with their real per-comment costs.
Which of these AI actually recommends
We asked 10 buyer questions about AEO and AI-visibility tools across 3 engines and read all 60 answers, week of 2026-08-17. “Named” is how often a tool appears in the answer. “Own page cited” is how often the answer links to that tool’s own site rather than to a review of it.
| # | Tool | Named | 95% range | Own page cited |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Otterly | 70% | 57 to 80% | 27% |
| 2 | Peec AI | 55% | 42 to 67% | 20% |
| 3 | Profound | 50% | 38 to 62% | 23% |
| 4 | Semrush | 45% | 33 to 58% | 10% |
| 5 | Ahrefs | 22% | 13 to 34% | 10% |
| 6 | Scrunch | 20% | 12 to 32% | 10% |
| 7 | AthenaHQ | 13% | 7 to 24% | 0% |
| 8 | SE Ranking | 12% | 6 to 22% | 5% |
| 9 | HubSpot AEO Grader | 12% | 6 to 22% | 10% |
| 10 | AirOps | 10% | 5 to 20% | 3% |
| 11 | CiteGraph(us) | 0% | 0 to 6% | 0% |
The 95% range is the Wilson interval at 60 answers: about ±8 points near the bottom of the table and ±12 near the top. Rows whose ranges overlap are tied, not ranked, so only trust the gaps: Otterly leads Ahrefs, but Otterly, Peec AI and Profound cannot be separated at this sample size. The live category board is re-run periodically, and the method is published so you can run it yourself.
When a competitor is the better choice
Pick Otterly.AI if price per prompt is the constraint
At $29 a month for 15 prompts across four engines, or $25 a month billed annually, it has the lowest paid entry price in the table above among plans that track more than one engine, and it sells Claude, Gemini and Google AI Mode as add-ons. If you want daily tracking for the least money and can live without error bars, start there.
Pick Profound if you are an enterprise buyer
Profound is built around larger accounts, with Enterprise quoted by sales. If procurement, SSO and a named contact matter more to you than a $29 entry price, that is the shape of tool you want.
Pick CiteGraph if you need to act, not just watch
Most tools in this category report the rate you appear at. A CiteGraph scan ends on the answers you lost, who won them, the page that got cited instead, and the specific sentence missing from yours, with a margin of error on every number.
Tools not in the price table
Outrank, AthenaHQ and AirOps come up in this category, and AthenaHQ and AirOps appear in the measurement above. This page keeps to the tools in the table; what AthenaHQ’s and AirOps’ pricing pages showed on 2 October 2026 is in the Otterly.AI alternatives guide. We have not read Outrank’s pricing page, so we state no price for it: we would rather leave a gap than publish a number we cannot source. Scrunch and Rankscale, listed here before, are now in the price table.
Common questions
What is the difference between CiteGraph and Profound?+
Profound no longer lists a self-serve price for brands: its pricing page offers a free 7-day trial (50 prompts a day on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews) and an Enterprise plan quoted by sales. For agencies it lists Agency Growth at $99 a month plus add-ons, with each client workspace at $399 a month. CiteGraph starts at $19 a month billed monthly for ChatGPT alone, with every tier published up to $69. We read both pages on 2 October 2026. The larger difference is what a scan returns: CiteGraph ends on the specific sentence missing from each answer you lose, not only the rate you appear at.
What is the difference between CiteGraph and Otterly.AI?+
Otterly.AI publishes a Lite plan at $29 a month billed monthly, or $25 a month billed annually, covering 15 prompts across 4 engines, up to Premium at $489 a month billed monthly; Enterprise is custom, starting from 1,000 prompts. Checked 2 October 2026. On monthly billing Otterly.AI Lite and CiteGraph Starter are both $29, and both cover four engines; CiteGraph's ChatGPT Only plan is $19 for ChatGPT alone. CiteGraph runs each question multiple times and publishes a margin of error with every rate, so you can tell a real move from noise.
How much does Peec AI cost?+
Peec AI lists Starter at €85, Pro at €205 and Advanced at €425 a month billed monthly, or €70, €180 and €360 a month billed annually, for 50, 150 and 350 prompts on 3 models of your choice. Enterprise is custom. Those are the euro prices its pricing page showed us on 2 October 2026.
Which AI visibility tool do AI assistants recommend most?+
In our 2026-08-17 measurement of 60 answers across 3 engines, Otterly was named in 70% of answers, Peec AI in 55% and Profound in 50%. CiteGraph was named in 0%. Being recommended by AI and being the right tool are different things, which is the entire point of measuring it.
Is this comparison biased toward CiteGraph?+
It is written by us, so read it with that in mind. What we can offer instead of a promise is method: every rival price here links to the page we read and the date we read it, every visibility number comes from a run you can reproduce from our methodology page, and we publish the category leaderboard where CiteGraph places last. Where a rival is the better fit, this page says so.
