Otterly alternative

Otterly is the cheap one, and it shows its prices. The catch is the add-ons: every plan charges extra for Gemini, AI Mode and Claude. Here's the same tracking with every engine priced per answer, plus where Otterly still wins.

Why people look for an Otterly alternative

Otterly's Lite plan is $29 a month for 15 prompts on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot. Standard is $189 for 100 prompts, Premium $489 for 400. Reasonable so far.

Then the add-ons. Gemini is $9, $59 or $149 a month on top (Lite, Standard, Premium). Google AI Mode costs the same again. Claude is $29, $109 or $439. Another 100 prompts is $99 a month, and Lite can't buy them at all. So Standard with Gemini and Claude is $357 a month for 100 prompts, and Lite with both is $67 for 15.

Fifteen prompts doesn't go far once discovery starts finding the questions your client's buyers ask.

All the AI visibility tool alternatives

Where Otterly is better

  • A cheap, public entry price: $29 with daily tracking and unlimited team members is honest pricing.
  • Copilot included, AI Mode on offer: neither is tracked here.
  • API, MCP and a Looker Studio connector from Standard. None of those exist here.
  • Extras: GEO URL audits (1,000 a month even on Lite), ChatGPT ads tracking, weekly GEO recommendations and a Brand Visibility Index.
  • A flat bill for Claude: Claude costs about 5 cents an answer here, so 100 prompts on Claude every day would run about $160.80 a month at cost. Otterly's Claude add-on on Standard is a flat $109. If daily Claude on a big set is the whole point, do that maths first. Weekly, it's about $23.23 here.

Where this one is better

  • No add-ons: Gemini and Claude are just engines like the rest (here's the Gemini rank tracker and the Claude rank tracker). Run 100 prompts weekly across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overview and DataForSEO's prices put you at about $4.77 a month; daily, about $33.00. Otterly's Standard with Gemini is $248 for 100 prompts.
  • All five engines on a small set: 15 prompts on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and AI Overview cost about $4.20 a month weekly, or $29.07 daily.
  • No prompt cap, no prompt packs: track 15 or 500. You see the price before a single request goes out.
  • Every client and site you've got, from day one. Otterly's Lite has 1 workspace; Standard has unlimited, to be fair.
  • The evidence: open any answer and you get every brand it mentioned, first to last, the sources it leaned on and the searches the engine ran, with the raw response alongside.
  • Exports you can open: an XLSX with one citation per row. Otterly lists reports and export on every plan; the format is not stated on their site.

Who should stay with Otterly

If Copilot or AI Mode is on your clients' radar, stay. If you want Looker Studio dashboards or an API, stay. If you track 15 prompts on the four included engines and never need Gemini or Claude, honestly, stay: $29 is fair, and switching saves you about $25 a month in exchange for running a DataForSEO account. Same if you'd rather pay one flat bill than think about cost per answer.

Comparing more than two? The best LLM visibility trackers list has Otterly and the rest, each at its cheapest plan.

How to switch from Otterly

  1. Get your prompts out. Otterly lists exports on every plan and an API from Standard; if neither is handy, copy them by hand.
  2. Request an invite, then add the client, the site and the competitors.
  3. Paste the prompts. Add Gemini and Claude to the check if you were going without them.
  4. Read the quote and hit run. Every check, your first one too, bills to your own DataForSEO account.

Your Otterly history stays with Otterly. Here, each check gets saved as a dated snapshot, and you can hold any two up against each other.

Pricing: $0 in beta, under $10 a month later
Checks screen: each tracked prompt against ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overview, with mentioned and cited marks
One check: every tracked prompt on all five engines, Gemini and Claude included. M is mentioned, C is cited.

Questions people ask

Does Otterly include Gemini and Claude?

Not in the base price. Gemini and Google AI Mode are $9, $59 or $149 a month each on Lite, Standard and Premium, and Claude is $29, $109 or $439. Here, every engine is priced per answer with no add-on fee.

Is Otterly cheaper for a small prompt set?

For 15 prompts on its four included engines, $29 a month is a fair deal. The same 15 prompts checked daily here on ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overview cost about $4.41 a month at DataForSEO's prices, but you need a DataForSEO account with a $50 minimum top-up.

Does this track Microsoft Copilot?

No. Copilot comes with every Otterly plan, so if it matters to your clients, that's a point for Otterly.

Can I move my Otterly prompts over?

Yes. Paste them into a site and they're tracked like any other prompt, marked as your own. Your Otterly history stays there; history here starts with your first check.

Does Otterly have a free trial?

Their FAQ says 7 days and a banner on their homepage says 14, so check before you start the clock. This one has no clock to start: the tool is free for the whole invite-only beta, and each check costs cents on your own DataForSEO key.
