The short answer

Otterly.ai publishes four tiers: Lite at $29/mo for 15 prompts, Standard at $189/mo for 100, Premium at $489/mo for 400, and Enterprise from around $1,000/mo. Annual billing takes about 15 percent off. The number that matters is not on the headline, though: Claude, Google Gemini, and Google AI Mode are all paid add-ons, priced per tier. Adding all three to Premium takes a $489 plan to roughly $1,226/mo, which is more than Enterprise starts at. Price the engines you need, not the tier.

The short answer

Otterly.ai publishes its prices, which already puts it ahead of much of this category. As of August 2026 there are four tiers:

Plan Monthly Annual (effective /mo) Tracked prompts
Lite $29/mo ~$25/mo 15
Standard $189/mo ~$160/mo 100
Premium $489/mo ~$422/mo 400
Enterprise From ~$1,000/mo Custom Customizable

Annual billing takes roughly 15 percent off. Every plan includes unlimited team members, unlimited brand reports, multi-country tracking across 50-plus markets, the prompt research tool, brand visibility index, domain ranking, link citation analysis, and GEO audit.

That is the part every review covers. Here is the part that decides your actual bill: three of the engines you probably care about are not in the base price.

The add-ons are the story

Otterly includes ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot on every paid plan. Claude, Google Gemini, and Google AI Mode are sold as separate add-ons, and they are priced per tier rather than as a flat fee.

Add-on On Lite On Standard On Premium
Claude $29/mo $109/mo $439/mo
Google Gemini $9/mo $59/mo $149/mo
Google AI Mode $9/mo $59/mo $149/mo
Extra 100 prompts Not offered $99/mo $99/mo

Read the Claude column again. On Premium, the Claude add-on alone costs $439/mo, which is nearly the price of the plan it attaches to. Stack all three engine add-ons onto each tier and the real cost of full coverage looks like this:

Plan Base All three engine add-ons All-in
Lite $29 $47 $76/mo
Standard $189 $227 $416/mo
Premium $489 $737 $1,226/mo
$1,226
What a $489/mo Otterly Premium plan actually costs once you add Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Mode. That is more than the roughly $1,000/mo where Enterprise starts, and Enterprise includes SSO and dedicated support that Premium does not.

If you are heading toward full engine coverage at Premium volume, get the Enterprise quote before you buy Premium. The stacked add-on route can cost more than the tier above it while delivering less.

Otterly.ai: advertised price vs all-in cost with engine add-ons $0 $400 $800 $1,200 Lite $29 base, $76 all-in Standard $189 base, $416 all-in Premium $1,226 Enterprise starts ~$1,000 Advertised base price Claude + Gemini + Google AI Mode add-ons Source: otterly.ai published pricing, checked August 2026. Monthly billing shown.
The add-ons are most of the bill at the top tier. On Premium, the three paid engine add-ons cost $737/mo, more than the $489 plan they attach to, and push the all-in figure past where Enterprise begins.

Per-prompt economics: the cheap tier is the expensive one

Divide price by tracked prompts and the intuition about Lite being the budget option gets complicated:

Plan Monthly Prompts Cost per prompt
Lite $29 15 ~$1.93
Standard $189 100 ~$1.89
Premium $489 400 ~$1.22

Lite is the most expensive way to track a prompt, and Premium is the cheapest. That is ordinary SaaS volume pricing, but it matters when you are deciding whether to start small. Lite is not a cheap version of the programme; it is a proof of concept. Fifteen prompts is enough to establish whether the engines mention you at all in your category, and not much more.

The other jump worth planning for is Lite to Standard: $29 to $189 is a more than sixfold increase to go from 15 to 100 prompts, with nothing in between. The month your prompt set outgrows 15, your bill changes character entirely.

What you get on every plan

Some things Otterly does not meter, which is worth crediting because much of this category does:

Standard and above add API access, MCP access, and Agent Analytics. If you want to pull Otterly data into your own reporting, Lite will not do it.

How Otterly pricing compares

The headline comparison flatters Otterly. The all-in comparison is closer.

Tool Entry price Engines in base price Seat policy
Otterly.ai $29/mo (15 prompts) 4 (Claude, Gemini, AI Mode extra) Unlimited
Peec AI $95/mo (50 prompts) 6 Unlimited on paid plans
Profound $99/mo (50 prompts) 1 (ChatGPT only) 1 seat at entry
Scrunch AI ~$250/mo (reported) Multi-engine Not published

Against Peec AI, Otterly wins decisively on entry price and loses on included coverage: Peec bundles six engines at $95 where Otterly bundles four at $29 and charges for the rest. Once you add Gemini and Claude to a Standard plan, the two are much closer than the sticker prices suggest. Against Profound, whose $99 Starter tier tracks ChatGPT alone, Otterly's four-engine base is the better-value entry by a distance.

The honest summary: Otterly is the cheapest credible way into this category, and it stays cheap as long as ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Copilot cover your buyers. The moment Gemini or Claude matters to you, re-run the maths before assuming Otterly is still the budget pick. Our full best AEO tools guide covers the whole market, and the Otterly.ai review covers the product itself rather than the price list.

Which tier should you buy

Key takeaways

Pricing in this category changes quickly. Every figure here was checked against otterly.ai's published pricing in August 2026; confirm before you buy.

The tool measures. The work moves the number.

Whichever tier you land on, remember what you are buying: a measurement system. Otterly will tell you how often the engines mention and cite you, and it will not change either number. Our own tracking across three unrelated verticals found that a brand's own website accounts for only 2 to 6 percent of the sources AI engines cite about it, with third-party sites making up 26 to 59 percent. The tool shows you which third-party pages are winning your category. Going and earning a place on them is the actual work.

If you would rather someone ran that programme than another dashboard, book a strategy call.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Otterly.ai cost?

Otterly.ai has four tiers as of August 2026. Lite is $29/mo for 15 tracked prompts, Standard is $189/mo for 100 prompts, Premium is $489/mo for 400 prompts, and Enterprise is custom-quoted starting around $1,000/mo. Annual billing takes roughly 15 percent off, bringing the effective monthly rates to about $25, $160, and $422. Those base prices exclude the paid engine add-ons, which is where most budgets go wrong.

Which AI engines does Otterly.ai include for free?

Every paid Otterly.ai plan includes ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot in the base price. Claude, Google Gemini, and Google AI Mode are sold separately as paid add-ons, and their prices scale with your plan tier. If your buyers use Gemini or Claude, the advertised price is not the price you will pay.

What do the Otterly.ai add-ons cost?

Add-on pricing scales with your plan. On Lite, Claude is $29/mo, Google AI Mode is $9/mo and Gemini is $9/mo. On Standard, those become $109, $59 and $59. On Premium they rise to $439, $149 and $149. Standard and Premium also offer an extra 100 tracked prompts for $99/mo. Add all three engine add-ons to Premium and your $489 plan costs about $1,226/mo.

Is Otterly.ai's cheapest plan good value?

It depends what you measure. At $29/mo for 15 prompts, Lite works out to about $1.93 per tracked prompt, which is actually the most expensive per-prompt rate Otterly offers. Premium is roughly $1.22 per prompt. Lite is genuinely useful for testing whether AI engines mention you at all before committing real budget, but it is a proof-of-concept tier, not a programme.

Is Otterly.ai cheaper than Peec AI or Profound?

At the headline, yes. Otterly Lite at $29/mo undercuts Peec AI's $95/mo Starter and Profound's $99/mo Starter. Once you add the engines, the picture changes: Peec includes six engines in its base price, and Otterly's four-engine base plus Claude, Gemini and AI Mode add-ons closes much of the gap. Compare the all-in number for the engines you actually need, not the entry price.

Does Otterly.ai charge per seat?

No. Every Otterly.ai plan includes unlimited team members and unlimited brand reports, alongside multi-country support across 50-plus markets. Seat count is not a cost lever here, which is unusual in this category and genuinely useful for agencies and larger in-house teams.

When does Otterly.ai Enterprise make sense?

Enterprise starts around $1,000/mo and adds customizable prompt volumes, SSO, and dedicated support. The arithmetic quirk worth knowing is that a Premium plan with all three engine add-ons already costs roughly $1,226/mo, so if you are heading for full coverage at volume, ask for the Enterprise quote first. You may get SSO and dedicated support for less than the stacked add-on route costs.
