Summary
OtterlyAI is an AI search monitoring platform that runs a library of search prompts against AI answer engines and records where a brand is mentioned and which URLs are cited. It pairs that tracking with crawlability checks, content audits and prioritised GEO recommendations.
- Best for
- Marketing, SEO and content teams taking their first serious measurement of AI-search visibility, who want a self-serve start rather than a sales call.
- Not for
- Teams that need Claude, Google AI Mode or Gemini coverage without paying add-on fees on top of any tier, or that need a true $0-forever free plan rather than a 7-day trial.
- From
- $29/month$29 monthly · $25 billed annually
- Free trial
- PartlyFree trial only, no standing $0 plan. The FAQ states a 7-day trial with no credit card needed; a site-wide sign-up modal advertises a 14-day trial, also without a card.
