The short answer
Ahrefs Brand Radar comes included with Ahrefs' main plans, priced at £99/month for Lite, £199/month for Standard and £359/month for Advanced when checked on 19 July 2026. An expanded Brand Radar AI subscription is published from £159/month and adds research across Ahrefs' prompt database plus custom prompt tracking.

Who each one suits
Choose Ahrefs Brand Radar when
Teams already invested in Ahrefs for backlink, keyword and site audit work who want brand visibility across AI answers reported next to their existing organic data without paying for another subscription.
Choose Robot Visible when
You want the AI visibility job done on its own terms at a lower floor, with technical diagnosis, ranked fixes, supported publishing and verification instead of reporting inside a wider research platform.
Where the two differ
A bundled feature or a dedicated product
Brand Radar is one capability inside a large research platform, which makes it efficient if you already pay for Ahrefs and largely irrelevant if you do not. Robot Visible exists only for the AI visibility job, so the scan, the tracked questions, the competitors, the fixes and the verification all serve one workflow.
Index scale against site delivery
Ahrefs brings scale: a very large crawl, a backlink index and a prompt database covering hundreds of millions of prompts. Robot Visible has nothing comparable and instead spends its effort on one site's eligibility, evidence and shipped changes.
The cost of the AI job alone
Reaching Brand Radar means an Ahrefs plan from £99/month, and the expanded Brand Radar AI adds from £159/month on top. Robot Visible's free scan needs no account and Monitor is £29/month, which is a much smaller commitment if AI visibility is all you actually want covered.
Common questions
Is Ahrefs Brand Radar included in Ahrefs plans?
Yes. As checked on 19 July 2026, Brand Radar is a core feature across Ahrefs' Lite (£99/month), Standard (£199/month) and Advanced (£359/month) plans. A separate, expanded Brand Radar AI subscription is published from £159/month and adds research across Ahrefs' prompt database plus custom prompt tracking.
How much does Ahrefs Brand Radar cost?
The basic capability has no standalone price, because it comes with an Ahrefs plan starting at £99/month for Lite. The expanded Brand Radar AI product is published from £159/month. Ahrefs also publishes a £23/month Starter tier and a £1,199/month Enterprise plan on annual commitment.
Is Brand Radar enough on its own for AI visibility?
For reporting, often yes, particularly if Ahrefs is already in your stack and you mainly want to see how your brand appears across AI answers. It is less suited to per-answer citation evidence or to actually implementing changes. That gap is where a dedicated tool like Robot Visible, at £29/month with a free scan, does work Brand Radar does not attempt.
What is a good Ahrefs Brand Radar alternative?
Semrush is the closest equivalent, though it sells AI visibility separately at $99/month per domain rather than bundling it, and its suite tier with AI included starts at $199/month. If you want a standalone tool, OtterlyAI starts at $29/month, Knowatoa at $59/month and Trakkr at £79/month. Robot Visible scans free and starts at £29/month if diagnosis and fix publishing matter more than research volume.
How this comparison was prepared
Every price on this page was copied from Ahrefs Brand Radar’s own published pages on 19 July 2026. Where a vendor does not publish a price, this page says so rather than reproducing a third-party estimate. Products and prices change quickly, so the vendor’s own pages remain the source of truth. This comparison describes product focus and published packaging; it does not claim that any platform controls or guarantees inclusion in AI-generated answers.
The full rules we follow when publishing another company’s prices, and a dated log of every correction we have made, are on our methodology and corrections page.
