Alternatives
Peec AI alternatives, counted by engines per dollar
Peec AI Starter is $95/mo, or €85 if you visit from Europe, for 50 prompts checked daily on three models you choose. The main alternatives: CueScout at $49/mo for 20 prompts on three engines (or $189/mo for 100 on five), tracked daily, Otterly at $29/mo for 15 prompts on four engines daily, and Peekaboo from $29/mo if you want to configure it yourself.
Peec is good. The data is daily, seats are unlimited, and the charts are the cleanest in the category. What pushes people to look elsewhere is the model count. Every plan lets you pick three: say ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Adding Gemini or AI Mode is $35/mo on Starter, $85 on Pro and $165 on Advanced, per model. A team that wants all five of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews and AI Mode on Starter is paying about $165/mo.

Where CueScout is the wrong choice
- Peec re-asks every prompt every day. CueScout re-asks an answer the next day only when it moved, and steady ones at least once a week. If you report day-by-day movement on every prompt, Peec’s cadence is the better buy.
- Peec can track Microsoft Copilot and Naver. CueScout does not check either.
- Peec Pro and Advanced go to 150 and 350 prompts per project; CueScout Growth stops at 100 for the whole account, and more is a quote by email.
The price of a fourth engine
On Peec the engine list is the main pricing lever: every model past three is priced on its own. CueScout ties engines to the plan. Starter has ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, Growth ($189/mo) adds Gemini and Google AI Mode, and only Claude and Grok are sold as add-ons. If your buyers split across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, price the plan that covers all of them on each side before you compare.
Charts versus a queue
Peec tells you where you stand with more polish than we do. CueScout spends its effort on the step after: which pages each answer cited, which of them rank nowhere in search (ranks come from Brave Search, an independent index, checked 100 results deep), and what that turns into on your To-do list.
