AI visibility tools compared by what they cost and do

Updated 18 October 2026. Most tools in this category are dashboards: you pay a monthly fee and they track whether assistants mention your brand. CitedBy differs on one point: we also make the fixes. Check each vendor's own pricing page, because prices change.

What CitedBy costs

• Free scan: several assistants through official APIs with web search on, no account.
• Fix Pack: €390 paid once. We make the changes and re-check at day 30.
• Our prices are public on the home page. Refund conditions are on the refund page.

How the other tools are positioned

• Profound: aimed at larger brands and enterprise teams. On 18 October 2026 its own site showed no public price.
• Peec AI and Otterly.ai: monitoring dashboards with monthly plans for tracking prompts over time. Read their pricing pages for current plans.
• Free graders from HubSpot, Ahrefs, Mangools and others: a quick score for one site, useful as a first look. Some of them score a different company when the brand name is shared, so check the entity first.

Which to pick

If you have a team that will read a dashboard every week, a monitoring tool fits. If you run a small shop and want to know whether you are named and what to change, start with a free scan and decide after. CitedBy is at citedby.eu; it is not citedby.co.

How we count is on the About page, and this guide shows how to check by hand.
