Compared on the jobs that matter

• Does the work: it changes the site, writes pages or places the brand itself, beyond tracking, reporting and recommending.
• Proves it against controls: it measures each change against control questions, or a held-out group, the change could not move.
• Runs from Claude or ChatGPT: Claude or ChatGPT can run it over MCP.
• Free audit: anyone can run an audit with it without paying or starting a trial.
• Yes means the tool's own page says it, quoted under each tool below; a dash means none of the pages we read says it.

Trackers vs tools that do the work

An AEO tracker asks AI engines the questions your buyers ask, records whether your brand is named, cited or recommended, and shows it on a dashboard. That tells you where you stand. Someone still has to change the site, write the pages and get the brand onto the lists the engines read.

A tool that does the work makes those changes itself: it edits pages, writes new ones or places the brand where AI reads. The table above marks which tools' own pages say they do, and each tool below quotes the words.

Doing the work is half of it. The other half is knowing what worked. AI answers move from one run to the next, so a single before and after can't tell a real gain from noise. supereo measures each change against control questions the change couldn't move, and says how sure each result is: How supereo measures.

How to choose an AEO tool

If you want AEO done rather than a report to act on, pick a tool that does the work and proves it. That is the job supereo is built for.

If you run an in-house team with an enterprise budget and want dashboards and agents, Profound fits. For analytics and reports a marketing team can share, look at Peec AI; for low-cost tracking, Otterly. For an AI agent that rewrites your pages, Writesonic.

If your team already works in Semrush or Ahrefs, their AI visibility tools sit beside the SEO data you have. Check what each adds to the plan you are on.

Either way, start with a free audit: it shows what AI says about you today before you pay for anything. Run supereo's free audit.

The tools

Questions

How we compiled this

Every price, prompt cap and AI engine on this page comes from each tool's own pricing page, and every capability from the tool's own product pages, docs and free tools. supereo reads them every week and keeps a value only when the page states it word for word; each tool on this page names the page and the day it was last checked.

Prices are US dollars a month on monthly billing, or the monthly price of an annual plan where that is the only price the page states, marked billed annually. A free trial is not a free plan, and custom pricing is a price the page does not publish. A tool sold only as part of a bigger product says so beside its prices.

Yes means the tool's own page says it, in the words quoted under each tool. A dash means none of the pages we read says it, so the tool may still do it without saying so there.

We make supereo, so it is listed first, as our pick. The other tools follow by how many of the four jobs their own pages claim, then by price.

Where this page's words state something the dataset doesn't hold, such as a change a tool made, the sentence links its source and the day it was read.
