Peec’s official pricing page shows plan names but no numbers on a plain load (checked 1 October 2026), so these figures come from dated third-party reviews (Trakkr, 1 September 2026; Geoptie, 24 June 2026). Geoptie lists unlimited seats on every plan and Claude and GPT Search by API on Enterprise. Each engine beyond the three costs extra, and we could not confirm the current add-on price.

The concession
Where Peec wins: it reads answers through the AI platforms’ web interfaces, per its own docs, so you see what a person sees, and its self-serve engine pool includes Google AI Overviews, AI Mode and Copilot (third-party review, June 2026). If you want a managed product someone else runs, that is a fair preference.
Pick Peec AI if
Pick Peec AI if you want a managed, marketer-first dashboard with zero operational involvement and subscription pricing is comfortable for your team.
Pick CitePrism if
Pick CitePrism if auditability, raw answers and cost-price sampling matter more than managed polish, or if you would rather pay the model providers directly than buy a usage tier.
FAQ
What is the practical difference for a small marketing team?
Day to day, both track brand visibility across assistants. The differences show at the edges: with CitePrism you can read the raw answers behind every chart, see what each run cost, and pay API cost for sampling with your own keys instead of buying a usage tier.
Does CitePrism require engineers to run?
No. The app at app.citeprism.com works like any SaaS: sign up, paste your URL, and either add your own API keys on the free plan or run on ours with Pro.
Which engines do both cover?
CitePrism samples ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Microsoft Copilot, with the model per engine under your control. ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity can also be read from the consumer apps, so you see the answer a person sees. A third-party review dated 24 June 2026 says each Peec self-serve plan includes three engines picked from seven, with Claude on Enterprise only. Peec’s own pricing page shows no numbers on a plain load, so confirm with Peec before you decide.
