**In short:** Otterly.AI has the lowest published entry price, Moz prices every add-on on the page, Promptwatch states how many AI answers each plan reads, and LLMrefs, Scrunch, AthenaHQ and Writesonic publish full ladders. Attensira publishes its plans and prices the work too: a monthly budget shown as the articles, fixes and pitches it buys.

## Which pages do AI engines read when buyers ask what AI visibility costs?

Pricing pages and price roundups, and attensira.com among them: ChatGPT read our pricing page in most of its answers. Perplexity leaned on software directories instead and never cited it.

_n=115 answers · 2026-09-06 to 2026-10-04 · ChatGPT and Perplexity, the prompt "AI search visibility starting price" · Cited sources, one tracked prompt, read over the Attensira MCP, attensira.com workspace_

### What do AI engines say AI visibility tools cost?

We track two pricing questions in our own workspace. Asked "AI search visibility starting price" on 4 October, ChatGPT answered with the price list at the top of this page, from $9 a month for WhiteRank to $1,499 one-time for a done-for-you assessment. It read attensira.com/pricing among its sources and still did not name Attensira; the chart above shows that is the pattern, not a one-off.

Asked "affordable AI visibility tool for startups" on 3 October 2026, ChatGPT answered with a price table: Otterly.ai at $29 a month, Rankscale around $20, AthenaHQ free, Cituna at $39, Peec AI around $95, and Profound at $99 a month billed annually. Attensira was not named.

Most of those match the vendors' own pages or close to it. One does not. When we read Profound's pricing page the next day, it listed a free trial and a custom Enterprise plan, and no $99 plan. The answer drew its prices from comparison pages, and a comparison page can be out of date or wrong. That is the practical case for published pricing: when a vendor publishes, a buyer can check the answer; when it does not, the engines guess, and the guess becomes what buyers believe.

### Why does published pricing matter more in AI search?

Because buyers increasingly ask an assistant before they ever reach your site, and "how much does X cost?" is one of the first questions they ask. If your page states the price clearly, the engine can quote it. If it does not, the engine quotes whatever it finds elsewhere, a review site, a reseller, an old blog post, or says the price is unknown and moves on to a competitor that published.

That applies to Attensira as much as anyone. Our plans and the price of the work are on the pricing page and in public documentation, written so that an engine can quote them correctly.

### Does a published price get you named?

Cited, yes; named, not yet. ChatGPT reads our pricing page and then quotes other vendors' prices, because the roundups it also reads list them and not us. A published price makes you checkable; the comparison pages decide who is named.

_Answers to one tracked prompt, read over the Attensira MCP, attensira.com workspace · 4 Oct 2026 · n=115 answers_

### How were the four criteria chosen?

**Lowest published paid price.** Otterly.AI wins with Lite. It is the price that decides whether a small team tests this month.

**Add-ons and overages priced.** Moz wins: extra prompts, extra AI dashboards, extra seats and higher limits are all priced on its page. Otterly.AI and LLMrefs also score well, one by pricing engine add-ons, the other by having none.

**Answers per plan stated.** Promptwatch wins: every plan states its responses. AthenaHQ's credits are one per response, so it states volume by definition, and Writesonic states answers tracked per day.

**Price of the work published.** Attensira wins. Its plans include credits for agent work, and its monthly budget is shown as the articles, page fixes and outreach pitches it buys. Writesonic includes a number of AI articles per plan, which is the nearest equivalent among trackers.

### What does a normal month really cost?

The entry price is the start of the sum, not the end. To cost a month, write down the questions you need tracked, the engines your buyers use, how often you need readings, and how many people need access. Then price that on each page.

Three patterns show up. Engine add-ons can double a tracker's price if you need full coverage. Seat limits add a per-person cost on suites. And none of the trackers price the work their findings call for, the articles, page fixes and outreach, which is where most of the real cost sits: a writer's time, a developer's time, or an agency's retainer.

### How does Attensira price the work?

Credits first. A plan pays for monitoring and includes a monthly allowance of credits for agent work. One credit is one cent. Agents spend credits as they work, research, drafting an article, preparing a fix, writing a pitch, and reading the numbers you already have never spends any.

Beside the plan you set a monthly budget. It is a ceiling, not a prepayment: work is charged as it runs, work that never ran is never charged, and once the month's spend reaches the budget, new work pauses until you raise it or the month turns. The pricing page shows the budget as the work it buys, so you see "this many articles, this many fixes, this many pitches" rather than a number of credits. If the crew delivers less than the budget committed for the month, the difference comes back as credit.

### Which published price suits which team?

**Testing on a small budget.** Otterly.AI Lite or LLMrefs.

**Wanting an SEO suite with AI inside.** Moz, where every extra is priced, or SE Ranking and Semrush, which publish prices in their own currencies.

**Wanting to know the answer volume.** Promptwatch or AthenaHQ.

**Wanting articles in the price.** Writesonic.

**Wanting the work done, with the cost known in advance.** Attensira.

### How should a pricing page be written so engines quote it correctly?

If you sell software, the lesson of this page applies to your own pricing page. Engines quote what they can read. A price shown only in a script-rendered widget, in an image, or behind a toggle that defaults to annual billing is easy to misquote. A price in plain text, with the billing period beside it, is easy to quote correctly.

Four habits help. State each plan's price and what it includes in a sentence, not only in a table cell. Say whether the price is monthly or billed annually, every time. State the trial terms, including whether a card is needed and what happens at the end. And keep one canonical pricing page rather than prices scattered across feature pages and blog posts, because engines will find the old ones too.

Attensira's own pricing page and its public plans documentation are written that way, which is also why the answers our engines give about our prices can be checked against a page that says the same thing.

### What does annual billing change?

Several vendors on this list discount annual billing: Scrunch shows a lower monthly equivalent when billed annually, Moz shows its yearly price beside the monthly one, and Writesonic quotes its plans as billed annually. Attensira's yearly billing is ten months' price for twelve. Always compare monthly prices with monthly prices; a table that mixes the two makes the annual vendor look cheaper than it is for a team that wants to stay flexible.

### How do credit-based prices compare?

AthenaHQ, Rankscale and Attensira all use credits, and the word means different things. AthenaHQ's credit is one AI response, so credits measure how much tracking you do. Rankscale's credits are used to query AI engines, much the same idea. Attensira's credits pay for work: one credit is one cent, agent work such as research, drafting and outreach spends them, and reading your numbers does not. Tracking volume is set by the plan instead, as prompt slots and a monthly response budget. Two products with "credits" on the price page can be measuring entirely different things, so read what a credit buys before you compare the counts.

### Which numbers should any AI visibility price page show?

Use this as a checklist when you read the pages above, or any other.

- **The price, per month, with the billing period.** Monthly and annual side by side.

- **How many questions you can track.** Prompts, slots or queries, and whether the number is a stock you

hold or a flow that resets.

- **Which engines are included,** and which cost extra.

- **How many answers that buys.** Responses per month, or the sampling depth per reading, so you can

tell a rate built on hundreds of answers from one built on a handful.

- **Seats.** Included, extra, or unlimited.

- **Trial terms.** Length, card, and what happens at the end.

- **What happens after the finding.** Whether the price includes any work, and if so how much.

No page we read shows all seven. Otterly.AI, Moz and Promptwatch come closest on the tracking side; Attensira's plans documentation covers the tracking numbers and the price of the work, with the budget shown as what it buys.

### What about tools whose prices we could not check on the page?

Peec AI's pricing page loads its amounts in the browser, so we could not check its add-ons or overages there; as indexed, Starter is $95 a month for 50 prompts, Pro $245 for 150 and Advanced $495 for 350. Profound publishes a free trial and quotes Enterprise after a demo. BrightEdge and Conductor quote after a conversation. None of that makes them worse products. For the last three it means you cannot cost them without talking to sales, and it means AI answers will quote prices for them from other people's pages, as ChatGPT did for Profound.

### How was this list made?

Eight tools were shortlisted because their own pricing pages show at least one paid plan with a price. Every cell was read from the vendor's own page on 4 October 2026 and links to it below. No vendor was contacted, and a cell says unknown where the page does not say. The ChatGPT answer was read through the Attensira MCP for our own workspace. Attensira is our product and wins one of the four criteria.

### When is Attensira the wrong pick?

When you only want tracking at the lowest price, Otterly.AI or LLMrefs cost less. When you need the most engines on one published plan, AthenaHQ reads more. Attensira's published price includes the work, and is for the team that wants the service of an SEO agency at the price of a tool.

Before you buy any of them, open the vendor's page yourself; the links are in the sources below.

## FAQ

### Which AI visibility tool is cheapest?

Of the tools on this page, Otterly.AI has the lowest published entry price, Lite at $29 a month for 15 prompts. Count the add-ons before you compare. Claude, Gemini and AI Mode cost extra on every Otterly.AI plan, while LLMrefs includes every engine it supports in one $79 plan.

### Why do some AI visibility tools hide their prices?

Enterprise-led vendors price on scope after a conversation, which is a legitimate model for large contracts. It does mean the price cannot be checked in advance, and AI answers fill the gap with guesses; on 3 October 2026 ChatGPT quoted a price for Profound that its own pricing page did not show.

### What does Attensira cost?

Plans are Starter: 300 credits a month, $129; Growth: 600 credits a month, $349; Business: 1,200 credits a month, $699. Agents spend credits as they work, at 1 credit = 1¢, up to a monthly budget you set from $500 to $5,000, which is shown as the work it buys. Reading your own numbers never spends credits, and work that is not delivered is not charged.

### How do I compare prices across tools that count different things?

Turn every plan into answers read per month for your real question list, prompts times engines times samples times days, then add the add-ons you would need. Promptwatch and AthenaHQ state answers directly; others state prompts and engines.

### Are these prices current?

They were read from each vendor's own page on 4 October 2026, and each entry links to that page. The page is reviewed quarterly, and prices in this category change often, so check the vendor's page before you buy.
