A Peec AI alternative starts
with the engines you aren't buying.
Peec is capable prompt-monitoring software. The detail that decides whether it fits you is not on the feature list: standard plans track three engines at once out of six, extra models are paid add-ons, and Claude is Enterprise-only. Whatever you do not buy is not reported as unmeasured. It is reported as nothing.
Live answer fetches by engine, one site, eight days.
| Agent | Live answer fetches | Plan availability in Peec |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT-User | 256 | one of the six standard models |
| Claude-User | 129 | Enterprise-only in Peec |
| Perplexity-User | 40 | one of the six standard models |
| Gemini | 2 | one of the six standard models |
Server-side log, Aug 25 – Sep 1 2026, a multi-metro appliance-repair site. A live answer fetch is a request made while an assistant composes a reply for a person, as distinct from background crawling. Full tables, methodology and limits are on the open dataset page. Plan availability is as published by Peec at the time of writing — verify it, this market reprices.
What each one actually does.
| Capability | Peec AI | This work |
|---|---|---|
| Tracks your prompts across engines | Yes — 50 prompts on Starter, 150 on Pro | No — I buy this, same as you |
| Citation analysis by source type | Yes (editorial, corporate, user-generated) | No |
| Competitor share of voice | Yes, against named rivals | No |
| Engines included | 3 of 6 at once on standard plans; extra models are paid add-ons | Every agent that reaches your server |
| Claude coverage | Enterprise tier only | Included — it is just another user agent in the log |
| Sees requests made to your own server | No — not visible from outside | Yes, per URL, split by purpose |
| Ties a citation to a booked job | No | Yes, that is the attribution build |
The first three rows are things Peec does and I do not — prompt tracking at volume, citation-source breakdowns, competitor share of voice. If those are your requirement, buy it. The rest is what no subscription in this category can reach.
When Peec is the right purchase.
- You want share of voice against named competitors on a defined prompt set, refreshed continuously.
- You sell products and want AI Shopping analytics — which SKU an assistant recommends, at what price.
- You need sentiment and citation-source breakdowns for a marketing report.
- Three engines genuinely cover your market and you are happy to pay per extra model.
When a log beats another subscription.
- The engines outside your plan matter. On one client site Claude fetched pages 129 times in eight days while answering people — and Claude sits in Peec's Enterprise tier.
- Your conversion is a phone call, so no dashboard can see the outcome that matters.
- You want to know which specific URL an assistant pulled yesterday, and watch it respond within days of a rewrite.
- You want the number that pays: booked jobs carrying an origin, joined to invoice amounts in the CRM.
Both together is what I actually run for clients — a cheap tool that covers your engines, plus the instrument it cannot have. How to read any tool in this category → and the same comparison against Profound →
Questions people ask before switching.
As published at the time of writing: roughly $95/month Starter, $245 Pro and $495 Advanced, with EUR pricing around €85, €205 and €425, plus custom Enterprise. There is a seven-day trial with no card. Starter includes 50 tracked prompts and Pro 150. Verify before buying — this market reprices constantly.
On standard plans you track three AI engines at once, chosen from six standard models, and each additional model is a paid add-on — around $30/month on Starter, $70 on Pro and $140 on Advanced. Claude and DeepSeek are Enterprise-only. That matters because your share-of-voice denominator silently excludes whatever you did not buy: the engines outside your plan are reported as absent rather than as unmeasured.
Real, and I can put a number on it. On one client site over eight days, Claude-User — the agent that fetches a page while composing an answer for a person — hit the site 129 times. A business on Starter or Pro would have been told nothing about that engine, because it is not in those tiers. The presence existed; the report would have shown zero.
No. Peec is prompt-monitoring software and I am not a SaaS. I install the instrument the whole category structurally lacks — a server-side log of what AI agents fetch from your pages — and build the attribution chain that ties any of it to revenue. For a like-for-like alternative to Peec, compare Profound, Otterly and Ahrefs Brand Radar.
The cheapest tool that actually covers your engines and returns citations, plus the server-side log. The tool tells you where you stand against competitors, coarsely, over quarters. Your log tells you which URL an assistant reached for yesterday — a census rather than a sample, with a feedback loop measured in days. Spending the whole budget on the subscription and none on measurement is the common mistake.
Which engines are actually reading your site?
Worth knowing before you pick a plan, because the plan decides which engines you are allowed to see.
