The short answer

For most stores, we’d start with LLM Pulse: its Starter plan, from €49 a month (about $55), includes ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews with no add-on [1][2]. Pick Goodie Pro, $999 a month billed annually, for SKU-level shopping answers, and RankZero if you want an agency to do the work [3][4][5].

Check the plan you can afford, not the product page. Three of our 8 picks track Perplexity only above their entry plan or not at all [6]. Two of the 8 have a free plan [7].

We picked 8 of the 116 AI visibility monitoring tools CitedIndex listed on 28 October 2026 [7].

The 8 picks compared on what a store needs to check

Read the Perplexity column first. Peec AI is disputed [8][9][10].

Prices are the vendor’s own, shown in USD, with the EUR original where the vendor prices in EUR [1][15][20]. We read the pages and did not run the tools.

LLM Pulse: best for small stores that want all three engines on the cheapest plan

Starter, from €49 a month (about $55), includes ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews with no add-on [1][2]. LLM Pulse’s pricing page says: “ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews are in every tier, Starter included.” [1]

Citation and source analysis is in the Starter feature list, showing which domains and pages the models cite [2]. GEO Writer analyses pages you already have and returns improvement guidance [11]. Tracked prompts run on a schedule on every plan [39]. There is a 14-day free trial [1]. No full rate card is published [1].

Best for: small teams that want self-serve tracking with API, CLI and MCP access [12].

Watch out: ChatGPT Shopping starts on Scale at €299 a month (about $334), not on Starter or Growth [1]. Alexa for Shopping, formerly Amazon Rufus, is a paid add-on on every tier, from €8 a month (about $8.94) per model [1]. The Alexa for Shopping add-on covers brand mentions, product recommendations, competitor mentions and visibility trends, updated weekly by default [40]. Claude, Copilot, Grok and DeepSeek are per-engine add-ons too [12].

Goodie: best for ecommerce teams that need SKU-level shopping answers

Goodie’s Pro plan, $999 a month billed annually or $1,198.80 billed monthly, includes SKU-level agentic commerce visibility across 5+ models [4][3]. Its Agentic Commerce Suite tracks how products appear across ChatGPT Shopping, Amazon Alexa for Shopping and AI Mode Shopping [41]. Per product, it tracks mention frequency, ranking position in shopping comparisons and competitor product placement [41]. Its FAQ also lists Perplexity Shopping [41].

Core, $354 a month or $295 billed annually, already tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews [4]. It reports the domains AI engines lean on when they mention you [13]. It audits pages you own against the sources AI cites for competitors and returns named gaps [14]. Visibility breaks down by “geography, persona, model, language, and topic category” [13]. There is a 7-day free trial [4].

Best for: ecommerce and mid-market SaaS teams [42].

Watch out: SKU-level tracking is not listed on Core [3]. Full coverage of all 11+ engines and a general-purpose public API need Enterprise, priced on a demo [4][42]. Goodie also has an MCP connection to your account [43]; see which AI-visibility tools your own AI agent can query.

Peec AI: best for Shopify stores that want per-product data from their own catalog

Peec AI’s AI Shopping reads your product catalogue from Shopify, or from a CSV, including one from Google Merchant Center [15]. It reports “Visibility, Position, and Win rate on a per-product basis, in addition to brand-level metrics.” [15] The pricing page does not map AI Shopping to a plan [15]. Peec launched it as SKU-level visibility into AI shopping, available to existing users [44].

Entry is €85 a month (about $95) [15]. ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews are on every brand plan [45][15]. Source analytics break citations down by domain, subdomain and URL [15]. Content actions open an existing page beside recommendations [16]. Prompts run daily [46]. “Each brand or market is its own project with its own prompt set, competitors and AI engines.” [47] There is a 7-day free trial [15].

Best for: mid-market marketing teams and agencies running AI-visibility programs [17].

Watch out: Perplexity. Peec’s own AI-instructions page, last updated in July 2026, says all tiers include it [8]. Xtrusio (checked 10 October 2026) and AI Ranked (15 October 2026) report it as an extra model [9][10]. AI Ranked puts it at $30, $70 or $140 a month on annual billing for Starter, Pro and Advanced [10]. Peec’s own page lists one extra model at +$35, +$85 and +$165 a month on monthly billing [8]. API and MCP need the custom Enterprise plan [17].

Writesonic: best for teams that want ranked cited domains and pages

Starter at $99 a month, or $79 billed annually, tracks ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews [18]. Its Citations pages rank the domains and individual pages AI engines cite, plus third-party pages that mention the brand [19]. Starter runs 50 prompts and 50 answers daily [18]. Growth, at $399 a month billed annually, is the lowest tier with Sentiment Analysis and a limited Action Center [18]. There is a 7-day free trial [18].

Best for: teams that want cited domains, pages and third-party mentions ranked [19].

Watch out: Starter, Basic and Growth track only ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews [18]. In Writesonic’s words, “Enterprise tracks all 9 platforms including Perplexity, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, Google AI Mode, and Muse Spark.” [18] Shopping & Agentic Commerce is also Enterprise only, at custom pricing [18]. The pricing page lists no add-on for AI platforms [18].

VisibAI: best for a low-cost, one-off audit of your own store

A single Starter audit costs a one-time €29 (about $32), and a free ChatGPT-only audit is allowed every 90 days with no card [20]. Each audit returns a severity-ranked fix list against the site you already have, naming the change for every issue found [24]. Monthly plans run from €79 (about $88) for Pro to €149 (about $166) for Brand or Agency, plus a custom-quoted Enterprise tier [20]. Perplexity is excluded only from the free audit [21]. VisibAI says its audits cover “ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Mistral and You.com.” [21]

Best for: small businesses, ecommerce brands and agencies that want a low-cost, EU-hosted audit [48].

Watch out: Google AI Overviews is not in its six-platform inventory [22]. It separates a brand mention from a citation of your own URL, but no cited-domain inventory is documented [23]. There is no Copilot, no API and no established track record of independent reviews [48].

RankZero: best for brands that want an agency to do the work

RankZero is a done-for-you retainer [49]. Tier 1 optimises 10 to 20 pages in depth and Tier 2 20 to 50 [50]. Both promise a 25%+ AI traffic lift in 90 days, or RankZero keeps working [50]. Tier 3 promises 50%+ [50]. The lift is measured as AI-referred sessions in your own GA4, against the 90 days before kickoff [49].

Its platform runs a fixed prompt set every 24 hours [51]. A Sources view breaks citations down by domain and by URL [27]. The ChatGPT tracker shows “which pages it cited to get there, and who it recommends when the answer leaves you out.” [26] Google AI Overviews is the one engine on the cheapest Lite plan; ChatGPT comes on tiers above Lite [26].

Best for: SaaS and ecommerce brands that want a done-for-you agency backed by a written traffic-lift guarantee [5].

Watch out: prices are not published; each retainer is scoped on a call after a free AI visibility audit [49]. Shopping and product-level tracking are not mentioned on its pricing page (28 October 2026) [49].

BrightEdge: best for enterprise SEO teams running stores across markets

BrightEdge tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews [52][30][31]. “BrightEdge AI Catalyst tracks how often your brand is mentioned and cited across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini and other AI platforms” [30]. AI Hyper Cube names the domains and the exact content behind AI answers in a category [32]. Recommendations issues page-level instructions for existing pages [33]. AI Overviews is its most developed surface, with citation gaps and a Share of Voice filter [31].

Best for: enterprise SEO teams tracking rankings and AI search visibility across markets [34].

Watch out: the price is on request and there is no free plan [29]. Buying means a sales negotiation and an annual contract [34].

AI Visibility Audit: best for technical teams that want to self-host

Syntropic’s AI Visibility Audit is free and self-hosted on GitHub [35][38]. It reports the domains AI engines cite for each answer and flags whether your own pages are among them [36]. It ends in a prioritised fix list [37].

Best for: technical teams comfortable with Docker and API keys [38].

Watch out: there is no Perplexity provider, and no tier or add-on adds one [36]. It needs Gemini, Exa and DataForSEO API keys [36]. The README states no running cost [36]. DataForSEO’s minimum top-up is $50, and its standard Google SERP queue costs $0.60 per 1,000 SERPs, doubled when AI Overview loads async [53][54]. ChatGPT needs a Bright Data account [36]. In the README’s words: “Without it you’ll track Google AI Overview only (via DataForSEO).” [36] Bright Data has a free tier of 5,000 monthly credits [55]. The fix list comes from AI answers only; the tool does not yet inspect your storefront [37]. For storefront checks, see AI visibility tools that handle technical AEO. Its source inventory includes Google AI Mode [36]; compare it in which tools cover Google AI Mode.

Product and shopping-answer tracking costs more than the entry plan

Where a pick prices product or shopping tracking, it sits above the entry plan [3][1][18].

  • Goodie: SKU-level tracking on Pro at $999 a month billed annually; not listed on Core [3].
  • LLM Pulse: ChatGPT Shopping on Scale at €299 a month (about $334) and Enterprise [1]. Alexa for Shopping is an add-on on every tier [1].
  • Writesonic: Shopping & Agentic Commerce on custom-priced Enterprise only [18].
  • Peec AI: per-product metrics, with no plan named on the pricing page [15].
  • RankZero: not mentioned on the pricing page (28 October 2026) [49].

Which tool fits your store

Pick by the one thing you can’t do without.

  • All three engines on a small budget: LLM Pulse, from €49 a month (about $55) with ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews on Starter [1][2].
  • SKU-level shopping answers: Goodie Pro, $999 a month billed annually [3].
  • A Shopify catalogue feed: Peec AI, which fetches your catalogue from Shopify or a Merchant Center CSV [15].
  • Work done for you: RankZero, with a 25%+ AI traffic lift guarantee on Tiers 1 and 2 [5][50].
  • A one-off check of your store: VisibAI, €29 (about $32) per audit with a fix list [20][24].
  • Enterprise scale across markets: BrightEdge, bought through sales on an annual contract [34].
  • Self-hosted, no licence fee: AI Visibility Audit, free on GitHub [35][38].
  • If Perplexity matters: skip Writesonic below Enterprise and the AI Visibility Audit [18][36].

How we checked

We read each of the 8 picks’ own pricing, feature, documentation and repository pages between 2 September and 27 October 2026 [7]. We recorded engine coverage, cited-source capture and entry price [6]. Shopping and add-on details were read on 28 October 2026 [3][1]. We did not run the tools.

What weighed most: Perplexity, ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews on the entry plan. Then cited URLs, own-page fixes, how you buy, and price. Prices are the vendors’ own. Third-party sources were used only for the Peec AI Perplexity conflict: Xtrusio and AI Ranked [9][10].

Questions ecommerce buyers ask

Which AI visibility tool is best for a Shopify or DTC store? For a Shopify catalogue, Peec AI fetches products from Shopify and reports visibility, position and win rate per product [15]. On a small budget, LLM Pulse Starter covers ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews from €49 a month (about $55) [1][2]. For SKU-level shopping answers, Goodie Pro [3].

Does the plan I can afford track Perplexity, ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews? Not always: three of our 8 picks track Perplexity only above entry or not at all [6]. Writesonic’s self-serve tiers track ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews [18]. The AI Visibility Audit has no Perplexity [36]. VisibAI has no Google AI Overviews [22]. LLM Pulse and Goodie include all three on their entry plans [1][4].

Will the tool show which URLs and domains AI answers cite for my product category? Peec AI, RankZero, LLM Pulse, Writesonic and BrightEdge name cited domains and URLs or pages [15][27][2][19][32]. VisibAI separates citations of your own URL but documents no cited-domain inventory [23].

Does it tell me what to change on my own product and category pages? LLM Pulse, Goodie, VisibAI, BrightEdge and RankZero work on pages you already have [11][14][24][33][28]. The AI Visibility Audit’s fix list comes from AI answers only and does not inspect your storefront yet [37].

Should I buy a self-serve tool or pay an agency? Buy self-serve if your team will act on the data; LLM Pulse is self-serve with API, CLI and MCP [12]. RankZero does the work, optimising 10 to 20 pages on Tier 1 and 20 to 50 on Tier 2, with a 25%+ lift guarantee measured in your GA4 [50][49]. Its price is scoped on a call [49].

Can it track individual products and shopping answers, not just the brand? Yes, on some plans. Goodie Pro tracks per-product mention frequency, ranking position and competitor placement across ChatGPT Shopping, Alexa for Shopping and AI Mode Shopping [3][41]. LLM Pulse has ChatGPT Shopping from Scale and Alexa for Shopping as an add-on [1]. Peec AI reports per product [15]. Writesonic keeps shopping on Enterprise [18]. RankZero’s pricing page does not mention it [49].
