LLM monitoring and tracking tools (2026)
LLM tracking tools ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini your buyers' questions on a schedule and record whether each answer names, recommends or cites your brand. They differ most on which models they cover, whether they ask through the app or the API, and what a tracked prompt costs.

Two meanings: this page covers LLM monitoring in marketing, tracking what AI answers say about a brand. Monitoring your own LLM application's traces and costs is LLM observability; see the note at the end.
Which LLMs each tool tracks, and how it asks
How a tool reaches a model changes what it measures. SE Visible and Peec AI both say API answers differ from what buyers see in the app, which is why they collect through the interface; supereo asks ChatGPT and Gemini in their apps and labels the two engines it asks through an API. The table shows what each tool's entry plan covers.
| Tool | ChatGPT | Claude | Perplexity | Gemini | Google AI Mode and AI Overviews | How it asks |
|---|
| supereo ours | App, signed out | API, labeled | API, labeled | App, signed out | Both, live results | The way a buyer reaches each engine |
| Peec AI | Yes | Enterprise | Add-on | Yes | Both | Web interfaces; 3 models at a time |
| Rankscale | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Both | Not described on the pages we read |
| ZipTie.ai | Yes | Not in its seven | Yes | Yes | Both | Third-party answer providers |
| SE Visible | Yes | Not on the plans we read | Not listed | Yes | Both | A real browser session |
| Otterly.AI | Yes | Add-on | Yes | Add-on | AI Overviews; AI Mode add-on | Not described on the pages we read |
| AthenaHQ | Yes | Starter | Yes | Yes | Both, on Starter | Not described on the pages we read |
| AIclicks | Yes | Marked API | Marked API | Yes | Both | 3 models on Starter |
| Profound | Trial | Enterprise | Enterprise | Trial | AI Overviews on Trial; AI Mode on Enterprise | The "front-end experiences that normal users see" |
| Ahrefs Brand Radar | Yes | Custom prompts only | Yes | Yes | Both, as one platform | Public web interfaces |
| Semrush | ChatGPT Search | Not listed | Brand reports only | Yes | Both | Real requests, not LLM APIs |
| Scrunch | Yes | Enterprise | Yes | Enterprise | AI Overviews; AI Mode on Enterprise | Not described on the pages we read |
Sources: each vendor's pricing page and docs, November 8, 2026 (Rankscale, AthenaHQ and Scrunch from the same date's reads of their pricing pages). "Not listed" means the pages we read don't name it. Microsoft Copilot, Grok and DeepSeek, which some tools add, aren't columns here.
What a tracked prompt costs on each tool
Plans count prompts and engines differently, so sticker prices don't compare. Dividing each plan's price by its prompts, and by its prompts times engines, puts them on one scale. How often each runs is in its own column, because a prompt checked daily collects more answers than one checked a few times a week.
| Plan | Price / month | Prompts | Engines | Per prompt | Per prompt, per engine | How often | Also included |
|---|
| AIclicks Starter | $59 | 30 | 3 | $1.97 | $0.66 | Daily | 5 AI-written articles a month |
| Peec AI Starter | $95 | 50 | 3 | $1.90 | $0.63 | Daily | Unlimited seats, MCP |
| supereo Copilot ours | $149 | 40 | 6 | $3.73 | $0.62 | 3 times a week | A range on every rate; what to change on each page, with the wording; each change you ship measured; MCP |
| Scrunch Core | $250 | 125 | 4 | $2.00 | $0.50 | 5,000 responses a month, about 10 per prompt per engine | 5 site audits a month |
| Otterly.AI Lite | $29 | 15 | 4 | $1.93 | $0.48 | Daily | Unlimited team members |
| ZipTie.ai, per check | Usage | Any | Up to 7 | n/a | about $0.30 | Daily (about $0.04 weekly) | Ranges on 3 headline rates |
| SE Visible Basic | $89 | 75 | 5 | $1.19 | $0.24 | Daily | API, MCP |
| Semrush Starter | $199 | 50 | Not itemized | $3.98 | n/a | Daily | The SEO toolkit, MCP |
Our arithmetic on each vendor's published plan limits, November 8, 2026, monthly billing. ZipTie.ai's figure is its "about a cent a check" times 30 daily checks; its presets and engine count change the real bill. Scrunch's frequency is 5,000 responses ÷ (125 prompts × 4 engines). Tools that bill on credits (Rankscale, AthenaHQ, Ahrefs) aren't on this scale.
supereo sits mid-table on price per prompt, per engine, and is the only plan here with both a range on every rate and a control-question test for each change it measures. SE Visible buys the most answers per dollar; Otterly.AI is the cheapest way in, if 15 prompts cover your market.
The tools, briefly
01 supereo ours
Tracks how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews recommend you, on every plan, from $149 a month. ChatGPT and Gemini are asked in their apps, signed out; Perplexity and Claude by API with web search on, labeled on every number. Every rate shows its answer count and range, and every change gets a verdict against control questions. Plans and method
Best for teams that want all the major LLMs tracked, Claude included, and the work done to change the answers.
02 Peec AI
Daily tracking through the engines' web interfaces on three models you pick, from $95 a month for 50 prompts and 4,500 answers. Claude is on Enterprise; Perplexity is an add-on. Pricing
Best for a clean team tracker with unlimited seats.
03 Rankscale
Ten engines on every plan, Claude, Perplexity and DeepSeek among them, billed on credits: $17 a month yearly for 120 credits, or Pro at $99 for 1,200. Scheduling runs from hourly to monthly. Pricing
Best for the most models on a small budget.
04 ZipTie.ai
About a cent a check across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, AI Overviews, AI Mode and Bing's AI Overview, daily, weekly or monthly, with ranges on three headline rates. No Claude. Methodology
Best for pay-as-you-go tracking with published ranges.
05 SE Visible
Browser-session collection on ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Mode and AI Overviews, daily, about 11,250 answers a month on the $89 Basic plan. No Perplexity or Claude on the plans we read. How it works

Best for starting with four engines for the least money.
07 AthenaHQ
Eleven models on its $295 Starter plan, including Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Meta AI and Mistral, billed at one credit per AI response, 3,600 a month. A free plan gives 300 credits. Pricing

08 AIclicks
Daily checks on 3 models from $59 a month, with Claude, Perplexity and several others marked "API" in its model list, and AI-written articles included. Pricing
Best for small teams that want tracking plus content drafts.
What users say about LLM tracking tools
Public posts, word for word, complaints first. They're individual posts, not reviews or ratings.
“I sat through two demos last week and both were basically a dashboard saying "you were mentioned X times" which tells me nothing I can act on. One of them showed us mentioned in a prompt, so I opened ChatGPT, typed the exact same prompt, and we weren't in the answer at all. That kind of killed my trust in the whole category.”
u/reviewflow on r/SEO_tools_reviews · Jul 29, 2026 · Read the postWhat helpsA tool's answer and your own retry are two draws, so they'll disagree often. What you can act on is a rate over many answers and the pages behind it. supereo judges every answer as named, recommended or cited, shows each one, and gives the rate its range.
“The insights are generic and non-deterministic (run the same prompt twice, get different results).”
u/Own-Description1939 on r/OtterlyAI · Jan 21, 2026 · Read the postWhat helpsNon-deterministic answers are the reason to count many of them. supereo puts the answer count and a range next to every rate, so a re-run that disagrees isn't mistaken for a trend.
“…we had really good citations across several AIs then suddenly one day our citations went from 70% to 0%.”
u/happygeorge42 on r/GEO_optimization · Nov 18, 2025 · Read the postWhat helpsCheck whether everything dropped at once: an engine change moves every brand's numbers. supereo's control questions are asked through the same days, so an engine-wide drop shows up in them too.
“semrush's ai tracking feels laggy and incomplete compared to what we're actually seeing in live queries.”
u/DotUnited2759 on r/DigitalMarketing · Mar 31, 2026 · Read the post“I would be highly skeptical of a searchable index like Ahrefs Brand Radar. For multiple clients where I tested it, the data made absolutely zero sense.”
u/AdSimilar2942 on r/GEO_optimization · Oct 10, 2026 · Read the postWhat helpsAn index of popular prompts measures how a brand shows up across someone else's questions. To see your own buyers' questions, track those. supereo writes them from your site, and you confirm them before they lock.
“Data and insights generally feel thin. It's hard to put my finger on it, but the general feeling I get is that of brittlness and I don't feel like I get solid reliable data from peec.”
u/deviant1414 on r/GEO_optimization · Nov 19, 2025 · Read the postWhat helpssupereo shows how many answers each number rests on and its likely range, so you can tell a real change from noise.
If you meant LLM observability
"LLM monitoring" also names a different job: watching your own LLM application in production, its traces, costs, latency and output quality. Google's results for "best llm monitoring tools" on November 7, 2026 were mostly about that. Those tools, in their own words:
- Langfuse: open source; "track usage and costs, trace and evaluate agents" (langfuse.com).
- LangSmith: LangChain's "AI Agent Observability Platform" (langchain.com).
- Arize Phoenix: open-source tracing and evaluation, run locally or self-hosted (phoenix.arize.com).
- Helicone: used "to route, debug, and analyze" AI applications (helicone.ai).
They watch your own app's model calls. They don't track what ChatGPT says about your brand, and the brand trackers above don't trace your app.
Questions
What is LLM tracking?
Asking AI models the questions your buyers ask, on a schedule, and recording whether each answer names, recommends or cites your brand and who it names instead. A useful tracker reports a rate over many answers, with its range, per model.
What are the best LLM monitoring tools?
supereo for most brands: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's two AI surfaces on every plan, every rate with its range, and the changes made and tested. Rankscale covers the most models cheaply, SE Visible the most answers per dollar, and Peec AI suits a whole team.
Which LLM tracking tools track Claude?
On entry plans: supereo, Rankscale and AthenaHQ's Starter. Otterly.AI sells Claude as an add-on, AIclicks lists it as an API model, Ahrefs includes it in custom prompts, and Peec AI, Profound and Scrunch keep it for Enterprise.
Should an LLM tracker use the API or the app?
The app is what buyers see; SE Visible and Peec AI both say API answers differ from it. Some engines are only practical through the API, so the honest version labels which is which, as supereo does for Perplexity and Claude.
How much does LLM tracking cost?
From $29 a month (Otterly.AI, 15 prompts) to a few hundred for 100 to 400 prompts. Per prompt, per engine, the plans here run from about $0.24 to $0.66 a month, before you count how often each one asks.
