10 Best LLM Pulse Alternatives in 2026 (Pricing, Cadence and Engines)

LLM Pulse is one of the better value AI visibility trackers around. Every plan includes ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews, answers come from the real interfaces, and the team ships something new almost every week.

The reasons people look elsewhere come up again and again. Tracking runs weekly unless you pay 50% to 60% more for a daily plan, Claude, Copilot and Grok cost extra per model, and white-label starts at €1,499 a month. Its GEO Writer drafts content, but publishing it and pitching the sites AI cites is still on you.

If one of those is your problem, here are 10 LLM Pulse alternatives and what each one does better or worse. Checked September 2026.

Disclosure: we build Orchly, and it's one of the tools on this list. We've used most of these tools ourselves, some notes come from customers who switched to us, and the rest come from G2 and other user reviews. Every tool gets its good and bad points here, ours included.

LLM Pulse alternatives compared

1. Orchly: best LLM Pulse alternative to turn visibility gaps into published fixes

Orchly is an agentic AI search optimization platform. It tracks how you show up in AI answers and on Google, and then its agents write the content, send the outreach and flag the site fixes.

Like LLM Pulse, Orchly reads answers from the actual ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews interfaces rather than a model API. The difference is what happens after the report. LLM Pulse tells you where you're missing. Orchly turns that gap into tasks, drafts, pitches and published pages, with your approval at each step.

Daily tracking without a pricier plan

• Daily on every plan. Orchly checks your prompts every day from $49 a month. On LLM Pulse, daily tracking is a separate plan that starts at €79.
• Prompts sorted the way you plan. Each prompt is tagged branded or non-branded and by intent, and prompt research suggests new ones for your category.
• Perception and fact check. See the attributes and objections AI attaches to you, and check AI claims about your pricing, products and policies against your Brand Brain, marked Supported or Contradicted.

Citations turned into an outreach list

• Every cited page. The Citations tab groups sources by URL or domain, content type and frequency, and shows whether your brand is named.
• Mention Gap. Orchly reads each cited page and lists the ones that name your competitors but not you. That list is where your outreach starts.

Agents that publish and pitch

LLM Pulse's GEO Writer exports briefs and articles as PDF or Markdown. Orchly's agents take the next steps too, and nothing goes live until you approve it.

• Content Agent. Turns lost prompts and decaying pages into article and refresh tasks, drafts them in your brand voice, and publishes to WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Wix, Sanity or Ghost.

• Activation Agent. Finds the sites, Reddit threads and YouTube videos AI cites, drafts outreach, and sends it from your Gmail, Zoho or SMTP inbox.

• Site Health Agent. Audits your pages for technical SEO and AI search issues, ranks them by priority, and suggests the fix.

Google rankings next to AI answers

LLM Pulse added a Search Console connection in June 2026. Orchly also runs daily keyword rank tracking by country and device, with Search Console and GA4 clicks, conversions and revenue in the same workspace.

Where Orchly falls short

• Fewer prompts and engines at the entry price. LLM Pulse Starter gives you 50 prompts across 5 engines for €49. Orchly Essential gives you 25 prompts on ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews, with Gemini, AI Mode, Claude and Grok as add-ons and no Copilot.
• Lighter agency branding. Pro covers 3 sites, and white-label applies to shared reports, not a full app on your own domain like LLM Pulse's Partner plans.

Pricing: Essential $49/month (25 prompts daily, 1 site, 1 user). Pro $125/month (100 prompts, 3 sites, 5 users, AI traffic analytics, white-label reports, API). Enterprise custom. 7-day free trial.
Best for: teams that want daily AI and Google data plus agents that write, publish and pitch from the same place.

2. Peec AI: best for a larger, well funded tracker

Peec AI is the tool most LLM Pulse users compare it with. Both scrape the engine interfaces and give unlimited seats, but Peec runs daily on every plan.

Peec is also much bigger. It raised a $21M Series A in November 2025 and passed $10M in ARR with more than 2,500 customers by May 2026, including Attio, Wix and ElevenLabs.

It kept shipping in September 2026, adding AI Referrals from GA4 on September 11 and a Brand Perception view with attributes, objections and fact checks.

Why switch from LLM Pulse

• Daily by default. No separate daily plan to buy.
• A proven vendor. A large customer base and funding behind it, if vendor risk matters to your procurement team.
• Actions. Source opportunities are scored so you know which gaps to close first.

Where it falls short

• 3 models per plan. You pick 3 engines, where LLM Pulse includes 5. Claude and Grok are premium upgrades on higher tiers or Enterprise.
• Similar price, fewer engines. Starter is about €85 for 50 prompts, close to LLM Pulse's daily Starter at €79 with 5 engines.
• No execution. Actions is a backlog. There's no publishing or outreach.

Pricing: Starter about €85/month (50 prompts), Pro about €205 (150), Advanced about €425 (350). 7-day trial.
Best for: teams that want daily tracking from an established vendor.

3. Otterly.AI: best budget pick with Copilot included

Otterly.AI starts at $29 a month and checks prompts daily, which LLM Pulse only does from €79.

It includes ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot, with unlimited seats and more than 60 countries. In 2026 it added sentiment, recommendations, an API and MCP, a Claude add-on in June and agent analytics bot logs in August.

Why switch from LLM Pulse

• Daily for less. Lite is $29 for 15 prompts, checked every day.
• Copilot included. On LLM Pulse, Copilot is a paid add-on.
• Unlimited workspaces. Handy for agencies with lots of small clients.

Where it falls short

• Small entry plan. 15 prompts, then a jump to $189 for 100.
• Google engines cost extra. AI Mode and Gemini are add-ons, both included on LLM Pulse.
• No white-label or content. Otterly doesn't offer native white-label, and it doesn't write or publish.

Pricing: Lite $29/month (15 prompts), Standard $189 (100), Premium $489 (400). 7-day trial.
Best for: small teams that want daily tracking cheaply.

4. SE Visible: best for several brands with daily checks

SE Visible is SE Ranking's standalone AI visibility tool. Basic costs $99 for 200 prompts across 3 brands, checked daily.

That lines up well against LLM Pulse Growth, which is €99 for 150 prompts and 2 projects checked weekly. SE Ranking also added an AI results section to its Report Builder in July 2026.

Why switch from LLM Pulse

• More prompts and brands per dollar. Core covers 450 prompts and 5 brands, Plus covers 1,000 and 10.
• Daily refresh included. No separate daily tier.
• SEO suite nearby. Keyword tracking, audits and backlinks live in SE Ranking.

Where it falls short

• Engine gaps. Claude is still listed as coming soon, and there's no Grok, Copilot or DeepSeek.
• Two products to stitch together. White-label lives in SE Ranking's Agency Pack, not in SE Visible.
• Tracking only. It doesn't write content or run outreach.

Pricing: Basic $99/month (200 prompts, 3 brands), Core $189 (450, 5 brands), Plus $355 (1,000, 10 brands). 20% off yearly. 10-day trial.
Best for: agencies and teams tracking 3 to 10 brands.

5. Trakkr: best for many engines on a flat bill

Trakkr includes 8 models on every plan, among them Claude, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI, all of which are paid add-ons on LLM Pulse.

Growth costs $100 a month for one brand with daily checks and 25 article credits. On September 8, 2026 white-label portals became included with its Scale plan.

Why switch from LLM Pulse

• Claude, Grok and DeepSeek at no extra cost. One price covers all 8 models.
• Daily by default. No daily upcharge.
• White-label from $500. Scale includes a branded client portal, well below LLM Pulse's €1,499 Partner plan.

Where it falls short

• API answers. Trakkr's own docs say it sends prompts to the model providers' APIs, not the interfaces LLM Pulse reads.
• No AI Mode or Copilot. Both are missing, and AI Mode is included on LLM Pulse.
• 50 prompts per brand. Every self-serve plan stops there.

Pricing: Growth $100/month (1 brand, 50 prompts), Scale $500 (10 brands, white-label, API), Enterprise from $1,000. 14-day trial.
Best for: teams that want Claude, Grok and DeepSeek without add-on fees.

6. Promptwatch: best for crawler logs and content in one tool

Promptwatch combines prompt tracking with AI crawler logs, Search Console data and a content agent.

It shipped a Content Agent on all plans in July 2026, a WordPress plugin in August and custom dashboards on September 22. It raised a €6M seed round in July and counts Duolingo among its customers.

Why switch from LLM Pulse

• Crawler logs on the entry plan. LLM Pulse puts agent analytics on Scale.
• Content closer to publishing. A Content Agent plus a WordPress plugin, where GEO Writer exports files.
• Shopping and ads. Business adds shopping tracking and Ads Radar.

Where it falls short

• 4 models per plan. You pick 4 engines, and there's no Copilot.
• Seat limits. Essential has 1 seat and Professional has 2, against unlimited on LLM Pulse.
• Higher entry price. $95 for 50 prompts, nearly double LLM Pulse Starter.

Pricing: Essential $95/month (50 prompts), Professional $245 (150), Business $579 (350). 7-day trial.
Best for: teams that want crawler data and content next to tracking.

7. AthenaHQ: best for the widest engine list

AthenaHQ tracks 11 models on its Starter plan, including Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Meta AI and Mistral, with unlimited seats.

It's a YC company with customers like SoFi and Coinbase. In August 2026 it added Shopping Pages, ChatGPT Ads reporting and coverage for 185 markets.

Why switch from LLM Pulse

• 11 engines, no add-ons. Getting the same list on LLM Pulse means paying per model.
• A free tier. 300 credits across 5 engines to test with.
• Strong reviews. It holds a 4.9 on G2.

Where it falls short

• Credits burn fast. One credit is one response, so 3,600 credits across 11 engines is about 10 prompts a day.
• No mid tier. It jumps from Starter at $295 straight to Enterprise.

Pricing: Free (300 credits). Starter $295/month (3,600 credits, 11 engines, unlimited seats). Enterprise custom.
Best for: teams that care most about engine coverage.

8. LLMrefs: best flat price for 10 engines

LLMrefs sells one plan for $79 a month with 10 engines, up to 500 prompts and unlimited seats and projects.

It works keyword-first. You enter about 50 keywords and it generates the prompts, then scores you with its LLMrefs Score. The $79 price is labeled limited time.

Why switch from LLM Pulse

• Claude and Copilot without add-ons. All 10 engines are in the one price.
• Unlimited projects. LLM Pulse charges €50 per extra project.
• Up to 500 prompts. More than LLM Pulse Scale, for about a quarter of the price.

Where it falls short

• Weekly too. Dashboards refresh weekly, the same cadence you may be trying to leave.
• Monitor only. No sentiment depth, no content and no fixes.
• Price may change. The current rate is promotional.

Pricing: $79/month, one plan. 7-day trial.
Best for: tracking many prompts and engines on a small budget.

9. Scrunch: best for AI agent traffic and site delivery

Scrunch covers ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overviews and Meta on every plan, so Claude isn't an add-on like it is on LLM Pulse.

Its standout is AXP, which serves AI-optimized versions of your pages to bots, next to agent traffic monitoring. Sitecore acquired Scrunch in June 2026.

Why switch from LLM Pulse

• 7 engines included. Claude and Meta AI come on Starter.
• Agent experience. AXP and agent traffic go further than log charts.
• Personas and misinformation detection. Useful for brand and comms teams.

Where it falls short

• Price floor. Starter is $300 a month, six times LLM Pulse Starter.
• Seat costs. Starter includes 3 seats, and more cost extra.
• Diagnoses, not fixes. It doesn't write or send anything, and the roadmap after the Sitecore deal is still unclear.

Pricing: Starter $300/month ($250 yearly, 350 prompts, 3 seats), Growth $500, Enterprise custom. 7-day trial.
Best for: mid-market brands that care about how AI agents read their site.

10. Profound: best for enterprise brands

Profound is where teams go when they outgrow self-serve tools and have an enterprise budget. It raised a $180M Series D at a $1.8B valuation on September 15, 2026.

In mid September 2026 it dropped its self-serve plans. Brands now get a free 7-day trial and then a custom Enterprise contract.

Why switch from LLM Pulse

• Enterprise depth. 9 engines including Claude and Copilot, unlimited seats, API and SSO.
• Front-end capture. Like LLM Pulse, it reads answers from the interfaces.
• More than tracking. AI Marketer agents, agent analytics from CDN logs, shopping and a prompt volumes panel.

Where it falls short

• No self-serve plan. You can't buy it without a sales process.
• No Google SEO tools. No rank tracker, keyword research or site audit.

Pricing: free 7-day trial, then custom Enterprise pricing.
Best for: large brands with an enterprise budget.

What changed at LLM Pulse in 2026

LLM Pulse ships fast, so check whether your reason to leave still holds. Its changelog shows:

• January to March. AI Visibility Score on every plan, AI Model Insights, GA4 conversion tracking, an in-app AI assistant and reputation report PDFs.
• April and May. A GEO Optimization workspace, a ChatGPT Shopping dashboard, Agent Analytics from server logs, and YouTube and Reddit analysis.
• June and July. Tremor, a weekly AI search volatility index, a Search Console connection on June 14 and Custom Reports on July 2.
• August and September. A Spanish app, a ChatGPT Ads Library, a Citations Overview, and new engines in September: Walmart Sparky, Naver AI Briefing, Baidu AI and Brave AI.

What didn't change: weekly is still the default, Claude, Copilot and Grok are still add-ons, and white-label still sits on Partner or Enterprise plans.

When to stay with LLM Pulse

• Weekly data is enough. For trend reporting, it often is, and LLM Pulse makes the case that it cuts daily noise.
• You want the lowest cost per prompt. 50 prompts across 5 engines, including AI Mode and Gemini, for €49 is hard to beat.
• You need regional engines. Naver, Baidu and Walmart Sparky are rare in this category.

Which LLM Pulse alternative should you choose?

• You want daily data, Google rankings and agents that publish and pitch: Orchly.
• You want the cheapest daily tracking: Otterly.AI.
• You track 3 to 10 brands on one plan: SE Visible.
• You want Claude, Grok and more without add-ons: Trakkr, AthenaHQ or LLMrefs.
