It works from SEO keyword lists, expanding each keyword into fan-out prompts run across engines. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://llmrefs.com | | Price | from €79/month (about $89) | | Free trial | Partly | The only plan carries a 7-day free trial ('Start 7-day Free Trial', 'Cancel anytime.
