Yes advertisedNot found advertised not found advertised
Checked on on each vendor's public pages and docs. ✗ means we did not find it advertised on that date, not that it does not exist.
Ours: from our billing code. Otterly’s HTML lists USD (it displayed euros for us). Its “15% off” annual billing comes to 14–15% by its listed prices.
What AI Rankia does once the report is in
Otterly adds audits with recommendations. AI Rankia adds the tools that do the fixing, from Brand up.
Citations and query fan-out
Each run stores the URLs the engine cited and the sub-queries it searched, next to your Search Console and Bing positions.
- Which of those searches you already rank for
Content Hub writes the pages
A topical map, articles, internal links and JSON-LD schema, published to WordPress or Shopify.
- Article 500 credits, page optimisation 25
- Brand ($349/mo): 10,000 credits a month, about 20 articles or 400 optimisations
Get Cited works the sources
It checks which pages AI cites in your market mention you, classifies each source and finds editorial contacts to pitch.
- Cited publications that don’t name you yet
Tracked prompts on 17+ AI engines
Agents that run it unattended
Proposals under your name
API, MCP server and Looker Studio
What the same job costs on each
Otterly prices by plan plus an add-on per extra engine; AI Rankia by plan, engines included.
Cheaper = who costs less for that job; a wins mark reads the same row on base engines only.

Otterly $515/mo with add-ons; assumes partners can buy packs (“on any existing plan”). Premium Partner, 500 prompts: $489/mo ($1,226/mo).
Checked on October 9, 2026. USD list prices, billed monthly. Each row's bars scale to that row's higher price, so compare bars within a row, not across rows.
Two caveats: prompt volumes and credits
- Neither tool knows how often people type a prompt. AI engines don’t publish prompt volumes; choosing the prompts well matters more than the tool.
- Credits only pay for execution. Tracking never spends them. For monitoring only, Brand’s credits go unused: look at Monitor.
