Monthly AI visibility tracker or one-time audit?
Checked September 27, 2026 · Prices and features verified on each vendor’s own page on that date. Prices change; check the linked pages before you buy.
These are different products answering different questions. A tracker watches many prompts on a schedule and tells you when something moves. A one-time audit tells you where you stand right now and hands you the fixes. Most firms need the second before the first.
| Option | Typical price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly trackers | $29–$489+ per month | Watching many prompts every day or week, and catching movement early |
| Automated one-time scans | Free to cheap | A quick first read before you invest in anything |
| One-time audit with handoff (CiteMe) | $495 once | A baseline with evidence and ship-ready fixes, before committing to a tool or agency |
What the trackers cost today
Four named examples, with each fact linked to the vendor’s own page:
- Otterly — Lite $29/mo (15 search prompts), Standard $189/mo (100 search prompts), Premium $489/mo (400 search prompts).
- GetIntel — Monitor $29/mo tracks four engines daily on 25 buyer questions; Pro $79/mo adds a ranked task list that turns gaps into drafted fixes; Growth $149/mo adds Claude weekly as a fifth engine.
- LLMrefs — All-in-One $79/mo (marked as a limited-time price) with 500 prompts; a free account is available.
- Scrunch — Core plan $250/mo.
Automated one-time scans sit at the other end: quick and cheap, and a fine first read. The trade-off is usually a score with limited visibility into the questions, full answers, and sources behind it.
CiteMe’s Pro run sits between those poles: 105 buyer questions across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity with repeated samples, a website review of up to 500 pages, source and community mapping, and drafts your team can ship — $495 once, no subscription.
When a monthly tracker is the better choice
- You already have a baseline and a fixed question set, and the open question is movement, not diagnosis.
- You need daily or weekly monitoring across dozens or hundreds of prompts.
- Someone on your team will actually watch the dashboard and act on what moves.
- You’re running ongoing campaigns where week-over-week changes matter more than a one-time fix list.
Run a baseline first, then decide whether you need ongoing tracking.
