Peec AI vs AI Visibility Check: An Honest Comparison

By Sameer Bhat · Published 2 September 2026

Peec AI and AI Visibility Check get compared because they sound alike from a distance — an “AI visibility” dashboard against an “AI visibility” checker. Peec AI re-runs a fixed prompt list against AI engines on a recurring subscription; AI Visibility Check runs a single audit, once, free or £9.99. The buyers differ, and so does something neither homepage advertises: both products cap themselves at exactly three AI models by default, for very different reasons and at very different prices — which is the detail this comparison actually leads with.

What does Peec AI do?

Peec AI monitors a fixed list of prompts against AI engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews among them — and reports back how often a brand is mentioned or cited, alongside competitors tracked on the same prompts. That’s built as a dashboard a marketing or SEO team checks weekly, watching a trend line move rather than reading a single report once.

Peec AI doesn’t put one flat number on its homepage; pricing sits behind tiers that scale with usage. Third-party pricing trackers, checked September 2026 — Geoptie’s Peec AI review among them — converge on the same shape: a Starter tier near $95/month covering 50 tracked prompts, three AI models and one project; a Pro tier near $245/month raising that to 150 prompts and two projects, adding multi-country tracking; and an Advanced tier near $495/month for 350 prompts and five projects, with a Looker Studio connector. Every self-serve tier caps engine coverage at three models — a fourth is a separate add-on, priced from $35 to $165 a month depending on tier. Annual billing reportedly takes 15% off. Those are third-party figures, not numbers pulled from a live checkout, so treat the shape as reliable and the exact cents as an estimate.

What does AI Visibility Check do?

AI Visibility Check audits one site, once, instead of maintaining a running prompt list. The free scan covers the technical baseline — can AI crawlers reach the site, does structured data validate, is the copy shaped so a model can lift a clean quote from it — and stops there. cloudflare/src/audit/native.ts sets analystOnly: !deep on every free run, and that flag skips the model-probe stage of the pipeline entirely: no subject recognition, no recommendation prompts, no competitor names, until a Deep Scan is bought.

Turning that flag off is what £9.99 buys. The Deep Scan runs its full roster of three models — Gemini, Claude Haiku and GPT — against subject-recognition and category-recommendation prompts, then pulls named competitors out of whatever those models actually said in their answers; the extraction step reads real model text and drops any name that doesn’t appear in it, rather than generating a list on its own. Most checks across the engine, not just the model probes, are built to carry the literal evidence a verdict rests on — a header line, an HTML snippet — wherever a check found something to point to, so a reader isn’t asked to trust a bare pass or fail.

What each costs

What does the three-model cap actually cost you?

Both products settle on the same number — three AI models — and then diverge completely on what that costs. Peec AI’s Starter, Pro and Advanced tiers all cover exactly three engines, typically ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews; a fourth is a recurring line item, $35/month on Starter up to $165/month on Advanced, billed for as long as you keep tracking it. Want a fifth, the fee repeats. If the model your client actually gets asked about — Claude, Gemini, Grok, whatever’s not in the default three — isn’t covered, that’s an ongoing cost, not a one-time unlock.

AI Visibility Check hits the same number from the other side. The Deep Scan’s own roster is fixed at three models too — Gemini, Claude Haiku and GPT-5.4 mini, set in tools/checks/llm-runtime.ts — but there’s no per-model add-on, because there’s no subscription for one to attach to. £9.99 runs all three, once, and if next quarter’s roster changes, that’s a decision on our side of the product, not a fee a customer notices. Peec AI’s recurring fee buys the option to keep adding engines as needs grow; ours buys a fixed answer, with nothing left to negotiate because there’s no ongoing subscription for a negotiation to attach to. Running the £9.99 scan five times a year still isn’t the same product as a $245/month tracker — neither replaces the other for a team that genuinely needs a moving trend line.

Which should you use?

Use Peec AI if you already track a defined list of prompts, want movement across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews reported weekly, and the budget for a dedicated subscription tool — plus whatever a fourth engine adds — exists on your team.

Use AI Visibility Check if nobody on your side has ever measured whether ChatGPT or Perplexity would actually recommend the business, and you’d rather have one evidenced answer than a dashboard login to maintain. Start with the free scan for the crawler and structured-data basics; add the Deep Scan afterward, only if you specifically want the model-probe and competitor findings on top.

What neither of them can tell you

A model’s answers shift on their own schedule, not yours, and neither product controls that. Providers retrain, tighten guardrails and swap defaults without announcing it, which is why a subscription’s trend line and a one-off scan’s report are both reads of a moving target, not a forecast of it. Peec AI’s answer is structural: keep firing the same prompts weekly so a shift eventually bends the line. AI Visibility Check makes no attempt at that — the Deep Scan is a single dated report, evidence attached, and re-running it is a decision you make on purpose rather than a subscription ticking along in the background.
