6 best Peec AI alternatives with an API or more models from the start

Prices verified · How I choose, and how I earn from this page

If you want your AI visibility data in your own tools, or more than three models without paying per model, I'd start with Promptwatch. Essential includes API and MCP access and tracks 50 prompts on 4 models for $95/month billed monthly, the same price as Peec AI Starter. Peec's Starter has no API, and each model past your chosen three is an add-on. Prices checked 29 Sep 2026.

Prices below are for one brand with a working prompt list on three AI engines:

  • One brand
  • A working prompt list
  • Three AI engines

Who this is for. Small business owners and marketers on Peec AI Starter, or comparing it, who want to pull their data into a sheet or dashboard, or who need Perplexity and other models without stacking add-ons.

Find the line that sounds like you. Each pick links to the full reasoning below.

Where Peec AI Starter stops, and what replaces it

Peec AI Starter is a good daily tracker for one brand: 50 prompts, unlimited seats and unlimited competitors for $95/month billed monthly. Two limits push people elsewhere. Starter has no API, so the numbers stay in Peec's dashboard, its CSV export or its MCP connection. And you track three models of your choice from a list that leaves Perplexity out below Enterprise. Each extra model on Starter is $30/month billed annually.

What you gain

  • An API on the entry plan: Promptwatch, Omnia and Searchable all include one, so you can feed your own reports.
  • Perplexity without an Enterprise contract: Searchable, Otterly and LLM Pulse include it, and Promptwatch lists it among the models you can track.
  • More models in the base price: LLM Pulse Starter covers 5, and Rankshift lets you run any engine its credits cover.

What you give up

  • Unlimited seats on a fixed plan: Promptwatch Essential includes 1, though Otterly, Searchable and LLM Pulse keep seats open.
  • Unlimited competitors on the entry plan. LLM Pulse Starter, for one, caps them at 10.
  • Naver AI as a model choice, which matters if you sell in South Korea.

When to stay. If three models cover where your buyers ask and the dashboard is all you look at, Peec AI Starter is fair value with no seat limit. Move when you need the raw data elsewhere or a model Peec charges extra for.

The tools side by side

Each row is the plan I priced for one brand, with whether it has an API and which engines it covers.

Omnia: I priced Growth. Omnia lists its engines as a default set with more you can unlock. Pro is the next step up.

Rankshift: I priced Starter. Rankshift sells credits, and Starter's allowance covers this workload with engines to spare.

Six picks, in the order I'd consider them

Each one says who it is for, what it costs for one brand, and what you give up.

PromptWatch logo

PromptWatch

Best overall Peec AI alternative

Desk research

Choose it if

You want to pull prompt data into a spreadsheet, dashboard or script and stay at Peec Starter's price.

Consider Otterly.AI instead if

You need more prompts and open seats along with the API.

Why it fits one brand

Essential tracks 50 prompts daily for one brand on 4 models, the same prompt count as Peec Starter, and adds the API Peec leaves out. Perplexity is on its list of trackable models, where Peec keeps it for Enterprise. It costs $95/month billed monthly, exactly what Peec AI Starter costs.

The plan I priced

Essential: $95/month billed monthly, or $950/year on a yearly plan, after a 7-day trial.

Closest alternative

Searchable becomes the better choice when you want articles and site audits along with the API.

Above 1 brand: Professional (+$125/mo billed annually).

The trade-off

Essential has 1 seat, where Peec has no seat limit, and custom reports and Looker Studio wait for Professional.
What my review says

Best for: A Peec AI Starter user who wants an API without paying more each month.

Skip it if your whole team needs a login.

Strengths

  • API and MCP on Essential.
  • Perplexity available, which Peec keeps for Enterprise.

Limits

  • One seat, where Peec AI has unlimited.
  • No Looker Studio on Essential.

Omnia logo

Omnia

API and unlimited brands, in euros

Desk research

Choose it if

Euro billing suits you and you want an API plus room for a second brand or market.

Consider PromptWatch instead if

You'd rather pay in dollars and want a longer prompt list.

Why it fits one brand

Growth tracks prompts daily with API and MCP access, for unlimited brands, countries and languages, where Peec Starter allows 1 brand in 1 country. Omnia lists its engines as 4 by default, unlock up to 7, so you aren't held to three.

The plan I priced

Growth: €79/month billed monthly, or €63/month billed annually, with a 14-day trial and no card.

Above 25 AI prompts: Pro (+€160/mo billed annually).

The trade-off

Growth holds 25 prompts, half of Peec Starter's list, data exports start on Pro, and fix suggestions are paid for in credits.
What my review says

Best for: A Peec AI user who wants an API and more than one brand or country, and is happy paying in euros.

Skip it if you need a long prompt list on the entry plan.

Strengths

  • API and MCP on Growth.
  • Unlimited brands, countries and languages.

Limits

  • A shorter prompt list than Peec Starter.
  • No data exports on Growth.

Searchable logo

Searchable

API plus content

Desk research

Choose it if

You want an API and would also use help writing pages that AI answers can cite.

Consider PromptWatch instead if

You only want tracking and the API, for less.

Why it fits one brand

Pro tracks 100 prompts per model daily on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity, with API and MCP access and unlimited seats. It adds 20 articles and 200 site audits a month, none of which Peec Starter offers.

The plan I priced

Pro: $125/month billed monthly, or $100/month billed annually, with a 14-day trial.

Closest alternative

Otterly.AI becomes the better choice when you want Copilot included and Looker Studio, without articles.

Above 1 brand: Scale (+$220/mo billed annually).

The trade-off

The three included engines are fixed, and Copilot, Gemini and AI Mode are paid add-ons. Pro costs more than Peec Starter, and Looker Studio is not included.
What my review says

Best for: A Peec AI user who wants an API and some content work in one plan.

Skip it if you only need tracking data.

Strengths

  • API, MCP and unlimited seats on Pro.
  • Articles and site audits included.

Limits

  • Only three engines before add-ons.
  • A higher bill than Peec Starter.

Otterly.AI

API with Looker Studio

Desk research

Choose it if

You want your AI data in Looker Studio dashboards and need everyone on the team to log in.

Consider PromptWatch instead if

A smaller prompt list is fine and you want a lower bill.

Why it fits one brand

Standard tracks 100 prompts daily on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot, all included rather than chosen. It adds an API with 2,000 calls, MCP and a Looker Studio connector, and seats stay unlimited, as on Peec.

The plan I priced

Standard: $160/month billed annually, or $189/month billed monthly. A 7-day trial needs no card.

Closest alternative

Searchable becomes the better choice when you would use monthly articles more than Looker Studio.

Above 100 AI prompts: Standard with +100 extra search prompts (+$85/mo billed annually).

The trade-off

Standard costs about double Peec Starter. Gemini, AI Mode and Claude are add-ons, and Lite, the cheaper plan, has no API.
What my review says

Best for: A Peec AI team that wants an API, dashboards and a longer list, and keeps every seat.

Skip it if you want an API at Peec Starter's price.

Strengths

  • API, MCP and Looker Studio on Standard.
  • Four engines included, with no choosing.

Limits

  • A much higher bill than Peec Starter.
  • No API on the cheaper Lite plan.

Hands-on

Choose it if

Peec's pick-three rule was the real problem and weekly data is enough.

Consider Rankshift instead if

You want daily runs on any engine you choose.

Why it fits one brand

Starter tracks 50 prompts, as many as Peec Starter, on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews and Gemini. Seats are unlimited, MCP is included, and it costs $58/month billed monthly, 39% less than Peec Starter.

The plan I priced

Starter: $48/month billed annually, or $58/month billed monthly.

Above 1 brand: Growth (+$49/mo billed annually).

The trade-off

Starter runs weekly, and the daily version is $93/month billed monthly. There is no API until Scale, so this solves the model limit, not the API one.
What my review says

Best for: A Peec AI user who needs more models and can live with weekly data.

Skip it if an API is the reason you're leaving.

Strengths

  • More models on Starter than Peec lets you choose.
  • Unlimited seats, as on Peec AI.

Limits

  • Weekly runs on Starter, where Peec runs daily.
  • No API on Starter.

Rankshift

Any engine, paid by the run

Hands-on

Choose it if

You want to decide engine by engine what to track, and add an API later.

Consider LLM Pulse instead if

You want a fixed set of models and a lower bill.

Why it fits one brand

Starter gives 9,500 credits a month to spend on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Claude and others. A daily run of this page's prompt list on three engines uses 4,650 credits by Rankshift's calculator, leaving room for more engines. Brands and seats are unlimited.

The plan I priced

Starter: $92/month billed monthly, or $82/month billed annually, after a 30-day trial with no card.

What my review says

Best for: A Peec AI user who wants free choice of engines and a long trial first.

Skip it if you need an API from day one.

Strengths

  • Every engine is open, paid from one credit pool.
  • The longest no-card trial on this page.

Limits

  • No API until Professional.
  • Credits need some planning.

What one brand really costs

Each bar is the monthly cost of the plan I priced, on yearly billing. Omnia's euro price is shown apart and never ranked against the dollar plans.

Omnia: priced on Growth. Omnia lists its engines as a default set with more you can unlock.

Rankshift: priced on Starter. Rankshift sells credits, and Starter's allowance covers this workload with engines to spare.

Dollar prices, per month (billed annually where sold)

Other currencies, per month (billed annually where sold)

Other currencies are not converted to dollars and are not compared with the bars above.

Pay monthly or yearly?

What yearly billing saves on the same plan.

  • PromptWatch$95 monthly, $79.17 yearly: 17% less
  • Omnia€79 monthly, €63 yearly: 20% less
  • Searchable$125 monthly, $100 yearly: 20% less
  • Otterly.AI$189 monthly, $160 yearly: 15% less
  • LLM Pulse$58 monthly, $48 yearly: 17% less
  • Rankshift$92 monthly, $82 yearly: 11% less

When you'll outgrow the plan

The first limit you hit, and the next plan up.

  • PromptWatch: above 1 brand, Professional (+$125/mo)
  • Omnia: above 25 AI prompts, Pro (+€160/mo)
  • Searchable: above 1 brand, Scale (+$220/mo)
  • Otterly.AI: above 100 AI prompts, Standard with +100 extra search prompts (+$85/mo)
  • LLM Pulse: above 1 brand, Growth (+$49/mo)
How I calculated this

Workload: One brand, A working prompt list, Three AI engines.

Where a vendor publishes a prompt count, I priced the plan that covers it. Otterly is priced on Standard because Lite holds fewer prompts, Rankshift sells credits, and Omnia's entry list is shorter, so those cards say what the price buys.

    Other options, and why they missed the list

    I kept the list to trackers for one brand whose entry plan includes an API, or covers more models than Peec AI Starter without an add-on.

    • AIclicks logo

      AIclicks

      Lets you choose engines like Peec AI and costs less, but its Starter plan has no API either, and the trial is very short.

      Cheaper than Peec AI Starter, but it also caps you at three models of your choice below Enterprise.

    Who is behind this guide

    Joonas Rotko

    I co-ran a marketing agency in Finland and spent more than ten years buying SEO and marketing software with real client budgets. I write these guides for the person who has to pay for the tool and use it.

    More about me and how I review

    Affiliate disclosure

    Some links here are affiliate links, and I earn a commission if you buy through them, at no cost to you. It doesn't move a price or a verdict. Order follows fit for someone leaving Peec AI over its API and model limits, and where two tools fit about equally the affiliate partner goes first. All six picks have affiliate links, and Peec AI does not.

    How this guide was prepared

    What I did

    • I priced one brand with a working prompt list on three AI engines, the workload from my AI visibility guide, and noted whether the plan I priced has an API and how many models it includes.
    • Otterly's priced plan is Standard, because Lite holds fewer prompts than the workload and has no API.
    • Omnia bills only in euros, so its price is never set against the dollar plans. Rankshift sells credits, so its card says what the price covers.
    • My LLM Pulse and Rankshift verdicts draw on my own use of both tools. The other picks are judged from published plans and documentation.

    What to keep in mind

    • Peec AI's pricing table and its Enterprise card disagree about API access on Pro and Advanced, so I only state that Starter has none.
    • Plans and prices move often, and the vendor's own page has the final word.
