Same category. Different products.
Peec is a German-engineered dashboard. Cited is a service that ships.
Peec AI launched out of Berlin as one of the most aggressively priced serious AI visibility trackers in the market — roughly EUR 89/month for its main tier (verify on peec.ai before publish). Its audience skews EU and DACH mid-market; its dashboard is clean, GDPR-native, and well-liked in small-team B2B SaaS. It belongs in the same category discussion as Otterly.ai and the Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit — trackers priced to fit a tool budget, not a service budget.
Cited is not a cheaper tracker. It is a different product shape: a retainer that bundles the monitoring Peec sells with the content strategy, content production, and off-site distribution that you would otherwise hire three separate contractors to handle. The unit of comparison is “citations landed per month,” not “dashboard features per dollar.”

Who buys Peec AI.
- EU-based B2B SaaS with GDPR-strict procurement that rejects US-first data residency.
- Mid-market teams with $50–$500/month tool budget and an in-house content function.
- Agencies bundling AI visibility into existing SEO retainers who need a dashboard to resell.
Who buys Cited.
- Series A–C SaaS, agencies, and professional-services firms who want new citations each month — not more reporting on why they don’t have any.
- Buyers who have tried a tracker (Peec, Otterly, Profound self-serve) and hit the content-execution wall.
- CMOs whose 2026 plan lists AI search visibility as a top-3 priority (67% of Fortune 500 — Conductor State of AEO/GEO, 2026).
Stacking strategy (for EU teams specifically).
For EU-regulated buyers who like Peec’s data-residency posture but need the Cited pipeline:
- Keep Peec as the SMB-priced dashboard the internal team looks at daily.
- Buy Cited Growth ($3,500/month) for the content and distribution loop.
- Align the query lists quarterly so both tools probe the same 100 queries and you can A/B the dashboard’s citation readings.
At that spend you have both the GDPR-first tracker European procurement wants and the execution layer North American retainers usually provide — for less than one mid-tier Evertune seat. Start with the free 48-hour audit to confirm the gap list before committing.
