The tools in detail

Every tool has its strength.
Here they are, named honestly.

GeoStars – the recommendation for the European market

GeoStars is the AI visibility tool made in Germany: 5 AI platforms (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot) with daily tracking, sentiment and citation analysis, competitor benchmark and – as a unique selling point – concrete GEO recommendations instead of just piles of data. curated prompt library, support from our own product team (English and German), servers in Germany, transparent pricing from RM 385. For agencies there are white-label reports and flexible credit billing. More about the measurement →

Peec AI – strong for international marketing teams

The Berlin-based company Peec AI has made a name for itself internationally: high-quality data studies, good-looking dashboards, integrations (Looker, API, CSV) and its own agency program. At 85 € the entry price is above GeoStars; advanced features such as Looker Studio and multi-country require the Advanced plan at 425 € according to the pricing page. If you mainly track the German market and want optimization recommendations, you are better off with GeoStars. To the head-to-head GeoStars vs. Peec AI →

Profound – the enterprise heavyweight from the US

Profound (tryprofound.com) serves large US corporations with an impressive feature set: Answer Engine Insights, prompt volumes, agent analytics and its own studies. The price matches – entry at enterprise level, individual contracts, often four figures per month. For mid-sized companies and agencies in Europe the setup is oversized; curated prompts and support are not the focus.

Otterly AI – the easy way in

Otterly scores with a very intuitive interface and fast onboarding. In return, platform coverage is narrower (no Google AI Overviews in particular), curated prompt support is limited and optimization recommendations are missing. Good for a first look – too limited for professional AI visibility tracking. To the head-to-head GeoStars vs. Otterly →

Semrush AI Toolkit – the add-on for SEO suite users

If you are already deep in the Semrush ecosystem, the AI Toolkit gives you a solid extension for AI Overview and ChatGPT visibility. But the focus is clearly on classic search – AI visibility is a supplementary add-on there. To the head-to-head GeoStars vs. Semrush →

FAQ

AI visibility tools – frequently asked questions

An AI visibility tool measures whether and how a brand appears in the answers of AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews. To do that, the tools run prompts regularly, analyze the answers and calculate metrics such as Visibility Score, Share of Voice, sentiment and Citation Rate.
It depends on the use case: for brands and agencies in Europe, GeoStars is the strongest choice (curated prompts, support from our own product team (English and German), GDPR, entry from RM 385). Internationally oriented teams with a bigger budget do well with Peec AI, enterprise groups with Profound. Otterly scores on ease of use, the Semrush AI Toolkit as an add-on for existing Semrush users.
There are no full-featured free tools – querying all AI platforms daily causes real costs. But GeoStars offers a 7-day free full test: enough to get an honest first baseline of your AI visibility. Other providers offer similar trials, some with heavily reduced scope.
Six criteria: (1) Which AI platforms are tracked – including Google AI Overviews? (2) How often is measurement done – daily or less often? (3) Are there curated prompts and support from our own product team (English and German)? (4) Are competitors measured too? (5) Does the tool deliver optimization recommendations or only data? (6) Do price and GDPR compliance fit your company?
Because a growing share of buying decisions is made with AI support – and without a tool you do not know whether ChatGPT & co. recommend you or your competitors. Manual spot checks are not reliable because AI answers vary. Only automated daily tracking delivers data you can base strategy and budget on.
