Best AI Visibility Tools in 2026 (Profound vs Peec vs Otterly + a Free Option)

"AI visibility" tools tell you whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews recommend your brand. The best free option is an automated checker like this one; the leading paid platforms are Profound (~$499/mo) and Peec AI (~€89/mo). Here is how they compare in 2026.

Free vs paid — at a glance

• This tool (free, automated): runs the buyer questions across AI models, shows whether you are named, competitor share-of-voice, and an agent-readiness check — no signup, instant. It automates exactly what "manual prompt testing" does by hand.
• Profound (~$499/mo): enterprise depth and continuous tracking — powerful, but not free for ongoing use.
• Peec AI (~€89/mo): mid-market analytics, brand-mention tracking across LLMs — a commercial product.
• Otterly (~$29/mo): budget monitoring subscription.
• Manual testing or a spreadsheet: free but slow and inconsistent — this tool does it automatically in about 30 seconds.

Which should you use?

To know where you stand today, start with the free automated check — it does in 30 seconds what manually testing prompts does by hand. For ongoing tracking, the $49/mo monitor here re-runs it weekly (or use Profound/Peec at higher price points).
