Summary
Similarweb AI Search Intelligence is the AI-search module of Similarweb's digital intelligence platform, sold as a standalone package. It measures how a brand appears in LLM answers and how much site traffic those answers actually refer, using Similarweb's own real-user panel.
- Best for
- Existing Similarweb customers who want AEO data from the same vendor, or teams that need Google AI Mode tracking alongside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini
- Not for
- teams that need Claude, Grok, or DeepSeek coverage (no longer confirmed here), and teams that require a documented public API for AEO data specifically
- From
- $129/month$129 monthly · $99 billed annually
- Free trial
- PartlyA 7-day free trial of the paid packages, self-service from the site; Similarweb.com separately exposes free high-level data and free tools, but there is no permanent free AI Search Intelligence plan. Whether the trial takes a card could not be established.
