Who each one suits
Choose OtterlyAI when
Teams and agencies that want daily prompt monitoring across several brands or workspaces at a low starting price, with brand and citation reporting, GEO URL audits, exports, and API or MCP access higher up the range.
Choose Robot Visible when
Your problem is not choosing which prompts to watch. It is knowing what to change on the site. Robot Visible opens with a technical scan, ties crawl and content evidence to one ranked fix, and can prepare that fix as a reviewable GitHub or Shopify change before checking the public result.
Where the two differ
Where each product starts
OtterlyAI starts with prompts. You pick the questions worth watching and it reports how brands and links move across engines over time. Robot Visible starts with the website itself, because a page that cannot be crawled, rendered or indexed will not be cited no matter how many prompts you monitor. That check comes first for a reason.
What happens once you find a gap
OtterlyAI reports the gap and its GEO audits point at what could improve. Getting the change live is your job. On Fix & Prove, Robot Visible takes the same gap and prepares the actual edit, either as a draft GitHub pull request or an approved Shopify content update, then checks the published page afterwards.
Many brands or one site
OtterlyAI prices on prompt count, which works well for an agency covering a portfolio. Robot Visible prices on pages, questions and competitors for one to three sites. If you are reporting across fifteen clients, OtterlyAI will cost you less. If you are improving one property properly, the extra prompts are not the constraint.
Common questions
How much does OtterlyAI cost?
OtterlyAI published Lite at $29/month for 15 search prompts, Standard at $189/month for 100 prompts, and Premium at $489/month for 400 prompts when checked on 19 July 2026. Annual billing brings those to $25, $160 and $422/month. Enterprise pricing is custom. Check OtterlyAI's pricing page before you budget, because these move.
Is OtterlyAI worth it?
For monitoring, it is one of the cheapest credible entry points in this category at $29/month, and the daily tracking and citation reporting are solid for the money. The limit is that it tells you what happened and leaves the fixing to you. If your team can already ship site changes confidently, that is fine. If not, budget for the implementation work separately.
Does OtterlyAI fix your website for you?
No. OtterlyAI provides monitoring, brand and citation reporting, and GEO URL audits that flag opportunities, but implementing changes on the site stays with you. Robot Visible's Fix & Prove plan at £99/month prepares supported changes as reviewable GitHub pull requests or Shopify updates and then verifies them once they are live.
What is a good OtterlyAI alternative?
Depends what you are buying. Knowatoa ($59/month) covers unlimited sites on one account. Rankscale (from $20/month) gives you more brand dashboards. Profound and Scrunch AI go further on enterprise analytics. Robot Visible scans one site free and starts at £29/month if the job is diagnosing and fixing rather than monitoring.
Which AI engines does OtterlyAI track?
Every OtterlyAI plan covers ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot, with Claude and Gemini available as paid add-ons. That is broader engine coverage at the entry tier than Profound, whose $99/month Starter plan tracks ChatGPT only.
How this comparison was prepared
Every price on this page was copied from OtterlyAI’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.
