Best AI visibility tracking tools (2026)
An AI visibility tracking tool runs prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude and logs how often your brand is named, how prominently, and from which sources. The main 2026 names are Profound, Otterly.AI, Peec AI, LLMrefs, Ahrefs Brand Radar and Semrush. You don't need one to start — the free manual method works — but a tool pays off once you're tracking many prompts continuously.
What these tools actually do
An AI visibility (or "answer engine") tracker automates what you'd otherwise do by hand: it runs a set of prompts across the AI assistants on a schedule, then reports how often you're named, your recommendation rank, which competitors you appear alongside, and which sources the answers cite. Think of it as a rank tracker for the AI era — measuring your AI Share of Voice instead of your Google position.
The main tools in 2026
| Tool | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Profound | Mid-market & enterprise | Deep "answer engine insights" — prompt volume, sources, sentiment. Powerful, priced for bigger budgets. |
| Otterly.AI | SMEs & agencies | Tracks brand mentions, links and sentiment across AI search; approachable entry tiers. |
| Peec AI | SMEs & marketers | Clean AI-visibility analytics with competitor benchmarking; popular with lean teams. |
| LLMrefs | Budget / starters | AI rank tracking across engines and keywords; often has a free or low-cost tier to begin. |
| Ahrefs Brand Radar | Existing Ahrefs users | Tracks brand mentions inside AI Overviews and assistants; convenient if you already use Ahrefs. |
| Semrush (AI toolkit) | Existing Semrush users | Adds AI-visibility tracking to the familiar SEO suite; good if you already live in Semrush. |
Others worth knowing as the category grows: Scrunch AI, Goodie, Knowatoa, Trakkr and the big enterprise platform Conductor. The space is moving fast — new entrants appear monthly.
Roughly what they cost
Pricing changes constantly, so treat these as directional and check the current plans before subscribing:
- Free / starter: manual tracking (free), plus low-cost or free tiers on tools like LLMrefs.
- Small business: roughly US$30–100/month for entry tiers on tools like Otterly.AI and Peec AI.
- Mid-market: a few hundred dollars a month for more prompts, competitors and seats.
- Enterprise: Profound and Conductor scale well beyond that.
How to choose (a short checklist)
- Engine coverage — does it track all four you care about (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude), plus Google AI Overviews?
- Singapore localisation — can you set a Singapore location/context? Local answers differ from generic ones.
- Source visibility — does it show which third-party pages the answers cite? That's what tells you where to get listed.
- Competitor benchmarking — can you track rivals' share of voice next to yours?
- Prompt volume & seats — enough for your real question set without jumping a pricing tier.
The honest take: a tool measures, it doesn't move the needle
This is the part most tool round-ups skip. A tracker tells you where you stand — it doesn't make AI name you. The work that actually moves your AI Share of Voice is off the dashboard: a clean technical foundation, answer-first content, a consistent business entity, and third-party citations (listicles, directories, reviews, press) that AI repeats. A tool is the scoreboard; the citations are the game. Start by measuring — manually is fine — then spend your budget on the work that changes the number, not just on watching it.
Where to start
If you're new to this, measure once by hand using our step-by-step AI Share of Voice method, see how bad (or good) the gap is, and only then decide whether a paid tracker is worth it. For the strategy that closes the gap, see how to get your business cited by AI in Singapore.
