About this list

15 of our 23 AI rank tracking tools are listed with a free trial.

Paid plans run from $3 to $99, and 2 have a free or freemium plan.

Last checked 20 October 2026.

A "free trial" means two different things across this list: for Nightwatch, Morningscore and LLM Pulse the trial unlocks a dedicated AI-visibility tracker end to end, while for Mangools AI Search Watcher and Local Dominator AI Tracker, AI tracking is one module inside a broader SEO or local-marketing suite. In that second case the trial mostly tests the parent product, not the AI-tracking feature in isolation.
