Top Affordable AI Visibility Tracking Tools Every Small Business Can Use

Why Small Business AI Tracking Matters

You’ve got a brand. You’ve got a story. But do AI platforms pick up your name? Not always.
With generative engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews or Perplexity shaping search, small business AI tracking is no longer optional. It’s essential.

Imagine a future where your café pops up in answer boxes. Your new product surfaces in voice replies. You grow without extra ad spend. Feels good, right?

That’s the promise of AI visibility tracking. But… most tools cost a fortune. Or they’re built for enterprises. So, what can a small team do?

The Competitor Landscape

Let’s face it: big names stand out. But big often means pricey and complex.

• LLM Pulse
  • Multi-engine coverage.
  • Great dashboard.
  • Entry pack: €49 for 40 prompts.
  But €1.23 per prompt isn’t cheap for a solo founder.

• Omnia
  • Covers Gemini.
  • €79 for just 25 checks.
  That’s €3.16 per poke at the AI.

• Peec AI
  • Nice interface.
  • €89 for 25 prompts – €3.56 each.
  Scaling? You pay more, fast.

• Otterly AI
  • Lite at $29 for 10–15 checks.
  • Standard at $189 for 100.
  Good. But dollars hurt for UK or EU shops.

• Profound AI
  • Enterprise dream.
  • $499+ per month.
  Small budgets, steer clear.

All strong contenders. But: high cost. Complex pricing models. Hidden fees. Credit bundles. Ugh.

The Hidden Costs

Beyond sticker price:

• Learning curve.
• Onboarding fees.
• Support tiers locked by price.
• Extra charges for add-ons (Claude? Gemini?).

As a small biz owner, you want clarity. You need straightforward billing. And coverage across top engines. Without the sticker shock.

Real-World Wins

Case study: A local bakery tracked AI mentions. They tweaked product descriptions. Next week, generative search replies praised their “artisan sourdough.” Sales jumped 12%.

Example: An online boutique found AI favouring a competitor’s hand-made hats. They updated titles, boosted brand mentions. Two days later, the boutique’s hats showed up in AI overviews.

Simple. Actionable. Impactful.

• Interpret share of voice shifts.
