Pricing verified against each vendor’s live site April 2026 + the Evertune 2026 platform tracker. Re-verify before citing numbers in outbound.
1. Cited (this is us) — the only service in the list.
Cited is the odd one out: a done-for-you service rather than a software license. The $1,500–$7,500/month retainer covers monitoring across 5 engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude), plus the 7-agent content pipeline (gap-analysis, content-strategist, content-writer, content-qa, distribution-planner, report, citation-probe) that produces and distributes 6–20 off-site assets per month through a human-approval gate.
Fit: Series A–C SaaS, professional services, mid-market e-commerce that wants new citations landed each month — not a dashboard showing why they don’t have any. See Cited pricing.
2. Profound — $1B-valuation platform, the enterprise standard.
Profound raised a $96M Series C at a $1B valuation in February 2026 ($155M total raised). It advertises tracking against 400M+ real prompts across 10+ engines, with SOC 2 and HIPAA available on its enterprise tiers. Self-serve starts near $99/mo; mid-market tiers run $199–$399; enterprise is custom-quoted.
Fit: Enterprises with in-house content teams or existing agency relationships that need best-in-class dashboarding. Doesn’t produce or distribute content — pair with Cited’s Growth/Dominate tier for execution. Full head-to-head: Cited vs Profound.
3. Evertune — 1M+ prompts per brand, retail focus.
Evertune raised $19M from Felicis Ventures to go after enterprise retail AI visibility. Its wedge is scale: 1M+ prompts per brand per month, shopping-intelligence depth, SKU-level recommendations analysis. Entry pricing reported at $3,000+/month.
Fit: Enterprise retail, CPG, multi-brand e-commerce with 500+ SKUs. Not appropriate for single-brand B2B SaaS. Full head-to-head: Cited vs Evertune.
4. AthenaHQ — ACE algorithm, attribution focus.
AthenaHQ raised a $2.2M seed from Y Combinator and differentiates on two axes: the ACE (AI Citation Engagement) algorithm that weights citations by likely commercial impact, and a revenue-attribution layer that tries to tie AI referrals to downstream conversion more tightly than GA4 regex filters. Pricing $249–$499/month self-serve.
Fit: Teams with an existing content engine and share-of-voice dashboard that need attribution depth as their next marginal gain. Full head-to-head: Cited vs AthenaHQ.
5. Otterly.ai — the $29 starter tracker.
Otterly is the highest-volume entry-level tracker, reportedly powering 20,000+ users at roughly $29/month. Covers 6 engines with basic citation-share dashboards.
Fit: Solo founders and 2–5 person teams exploring AI visibility before allocating a real program budget. The switch moment to a full platform or service is typically month 2–3, when the dashboard stops changing color and the missing piece becomes content execution. Full head-to-head: Cited vs Otterly.
6. Peec AI — EUR 89, Berlin-based, GDPR-native.
Peec AI is the value tracker with the strongest European positioning. EUR 89/month, clean dashboard, GDPR-native hosting that German/Dutch/French mid-market procurement accepts without questions US-first vendors cannot answer.
Fit: EU mid-market B2B SaaS with strict data-residency requirements. Full head-to-head: Cited vs Peec.
7. Scrunch AI — e-commerce agent-experience platform.
Scrunch positions itself as an “Agent Experience Platform” with an e-commerce bias — optimizing how AI agents perceive a brand’s product catalog, not just citations at the category level. Entry pricing around $250/month. Smaller install base than Profound/Evertune but focused product focus.
Fit:E-commerce teams experimenting with AI agent shopping surfaces (ChatGPT’s shopping features, Perplexity Shopping). Less useful for B2B SaaS.
8. Bluefish AI — Fortune 500 only.
Bluefish is the enterprise-only platform in this list — Fortune 500 customers, product-level granularity, custom pricing only. Not accessible to mid-market buyers; listed here because it’s frequently asked about in RFPs and deserves a named acknowledgment.
Fit:Fortune 500 marketing teams with dedicated GEO budget. If you’re mid-market, skip.
What we left out.
- Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit, Ahrefs Brand Radar, Writesonic’s GEO suite — all real, all capable, but bolt-on features inside larger SEO platforms. If your team already pays for the parent product, their AI feature is the cheapest starting point. If not, dedicated platforms are more focused. Worth naming for completeness but not a like-for-like comparison.
- Seenos, Rankability, AppearOnAI, Geoptie— budget/indie tools at $0–$29. Fine for personal-project exploration. Not at a quality tier we’d recommend for a real program.
- Gauge (YC)— $99/month with 600+ prompts and GA4 integration. Real product, slightly newer than the top-tier names above. Worth an evaluation pass if Otterly’s 20K-user network effect isn’t a factor in the decision.
The decision tree in one paragraph.
If you want a dashboard and have a team to use it: Profound. If you’re retail-scale: Evertune. If you’re just starting: Otterly or Peec. If you have a content engine and need attribution depth: AthenaHQ. If you’re in the EU with strict data residency: Peec. If you want the work done — new citations landed each month without standing up a content function: Cited. Full comparison at livecited.com/pricing.
