You opened this because something is bugging you. Maybe the plan renews soon. Maybe your prompt list outgrew the seat count. Maybe you can see the gap in your dashboard and still cannot produce enough to close it.
That is a normal place to be. AI search moved fast, most teams bought their first tracker in a hurry, and the second purchase is always the more considered one.
So let's make it calm and concrete. This roundup covers the eight best Brandofy alternatives, what each one actually includes at its published price, and who each one genuinely suits. You will not need to open twelve pricing pages after this.
One promise before we start. Every tool here earns its spot on published facts, not adjectives. Where a competitor beats us, we say so.
How we picked these Brandofy alternatives
A roundup is only useful if you know how it was built. Here are the seven things we ranked the best Brandofy alternatives on, in order of how much they change a real buying decision.
- Engine breadth, and which plan includes it. A tool can name ten engines and give you one on the entry tier.
- Usable capacity. Prompts, responses, credits, projects, brands, seats, countries, and languages. A low headline price with a small allowance is not cheap.
- Quality of the evidence. Mentions, citations, cited URLs, sentiment, share of voice, trends, prompt history, and competitor benchmarking.
- Whether you can act on the gap. Prompt research, query fanout, topic coverage, recommendations, or a content workflow.
- Reporting and access. Exports, API, MCP, integrations, white-labeling, and agency support.
- Price transparency and billing unit. Per month, per domain, per prompt, per credit, or custom quote.
- Fit for a marketing lead. Does it remove manual work, or add another dashboard to check on Monday?
One honest caveat. This is an editorial shortlist built from published product information, not an independent head to head performance test. Visibility results move with your tracked prompts, your location, your language, the engine, and the collection schedule.
What you are actually replacing
Quick baseline, because "is this cheaper?" is the wrong first question to ask of any of the alternatives to Brandofy below.
Brandofy pricing publishes a single plan at $99 per month. That covers one brand, up to ten competitors per brand, 150 tracked prompts described as 30 prompts across five AI platforms, two team members, white-label PDF reports, sentiment analysis, CSV export, a content-opportunity generator, action-plan and task tracking, and unlimited audit history. Enterprise is custom. The five named platforms are ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity. Its trial asks for a card, with no charge during the trial.
So a real replacement has to clear more than a price. It needs the engines you care about, enough prompt volume to be honest, competitor and citation evidence you can act on, and a path from "we found the gap" to "we published the thing."
Keep that sentence in mind. It is the whole test.

1. DeepSmith
Best for: marketing teams and agencies that want AI search measurement and content production in one workspace, with brand context carried into every draft.
Here is the thinking behind the top spot, and it is a fit argument rather than a feature count.
Most tools on this list answer one question well: where do we show up in AI answers? That is a real question. It is also only half of your week. The other half is the part nobody sells you a dashboard for, which is producing enough good content to change the answer.
DeepSmith is the one entry here built as both an AI search analytics platform and a production engine. AI Visibility measures where your brand appears, which of your pages earn citations, and which competitors win the same prompts. Content Map and Opportunity Agents turn those findings into ideas with the evidence attached. Content Studio turns ideas into finished articles. That loop is the reason for the ranking.
Pricing. Pro is $99 per month, Grow is $199, and Scale is $399. Billed annually those land at $80, $160, and $299 per month. Article allowances are 20, 40, and 90 per month. Tracked prompts are 50, 100, and 200. Seats are 5, 7, and 10. Enterprise and Custom are quoted, and add one-to-one expert onboarding plus a dedicated account manager. There is a seven-day free trial, no long-term contracts, and no cancellation fees.
What the measurement side gives you. Mention Rate tells you how often AI names you. Citation Rate tells you how often it links to your pages. Share of Voice places you against tracked competitors, Sentiment says whether you are described well, and Visibility Trend shows the change period over period. Underneath that, Prompts stores every question you track with its own mention and citation rates and full answer history, and Discover Prompts writes you a starter set from your product, persona, and buyer-stage context. Pages shows which of your URLs AI actually cites and the prompts driving them. Competitor citations name the exact rival page winning a prompt.
What the production side gives you. Content Map crawls your site and unlimited competitor sites, classifies every page onto one shared topic taxonomy and a funnel stage, then reports coverage gaps and untapped topics. Sitemaps re-check every 24 hours, so new pages fold in on their own. Opportunity Agents read that data and return ideas with the justifying data point attached, which is the difference between a brainstorm and a backlog you can defend. Content Studio moves an idea through New Ideas, Planned Content, the Writer, and Produced Content, and Autowrite writes a planned article on its scheduled date with nobody in the app. Deep IQ stores your positioning, personas, brand voice, visual guidelines, and content types so output sounds like you at volume. Finished pieces publish to WordPress, Webflow, Strapi, Sanity, or Contentful, and the Apps Library turns each one into LinkedIn, X, newsletter, Reddit, and other channel versions.
The honest limitation. Engine breadth is tiered. Pro covers ChatGPT, Grow adds Perplexity, Scale adds Gemini, and the full ten engines including Claude, Google AI Mode, Grok, Meta AI, Microsoft Copilot, and DeepSeek are Enterprise or Custom. If cross-engine monitoring across all ten is your first requirement on day one, budget for Enterprise rather than assuming Pro covers it. If you are starting on ChatGPT and adding Perplexity and Gemini in stages, which is how most teams actually roll this out, the tiering follows your rollout instead of fighting it.
2. OtterlyAI
Best for: teams that want a focused generative-engine-optimization tracker with prompt monitoring, audits, alerts, and developer access.
OtterlyAI is the most transparent pricing page in this roundup, and that counts for something when you are building a business case. Lite is $29 per month with 15 prompts, one workspace, and 1,000 GEO URL audits monthly. Standard is $189 with 100 prompts, unlimited workspaces and team members, 5,000 audits, and 2,000 API and MCP calls each. Premium is $489 with 400 prompts and 10,000 audits. Enterprise is custom from a published $1,000 per month. Annual billing is shown as a 15% discount.
Key features. Brand coverage, share of voice, mentions, citations, source links, sentiment, trends, reports, and alerts. Beyond monitoring it adds prompt libraries, competitor benchmarking, Prompt Research, Query Fanout, a crawlability checker, content audits, GEO recommendations, and URL audits. CSV export, a Looker Studio connector, a public API, and MCP cover the access side. A free trial is offered without a card, though different pages show different lengths, so check the duration at signup.
One honest limitation. The seven named engines are assembled through tiers and add-ons. The core pricing page includes ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot, while Claude, Google AI Mode, and Gemini appear as add-ons. Prompt capacity also jumps sharply from 15 to 100 to 400. That $29 entry is a genuinely low door, not a like-for-like swap for a program needing seven engines and hundreds of prompts. Pick OtterlyAI when monitoring and audits are the job and you already have a content workflow that runs.
3. Peec AI
Best for: agencies and multi-brand or multi-country programs that need client reporting and flexible packages.
Peec AI splits its pricing into a general track and an agency track. The general page names Starter, Pro, and Advanced without public dollar prices. Starter runs one project with daily tracking, Pro and Advanced run three. Named platforms are ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, and Gemini. The agency page sells annual credit and prompt packages instead: Essential at 10,000 credits and 111 prompts across three projects, Growth at 25,000 credits and 277 prompts across ten, and Scale at 65,000 credits and 722 prompts for roughly 11 to 25 clients or more. Every agency package includes unlimited users and client seats.
Key features. Visibility, position, sentiment, mentions, impressions, ranking against relevant players, and key sources. You own your prompts and can tag them, select countries, compare competitors, and analyze sources, with CSV export and a Looker Studio connector. API, MCP, and SSO sit with enterprise arrangements. Models are chosen during onboarding.
One honest limitation. Price opacity. You can see the plan structure, credits, prompts, projects, and features, but not the dollar figure on the reviewed general and agency tiers. Comparing that to a $99 or $250 monthly plan takes a sales conversation first. The trade is real agency depth, so if multi-country tracking, client seats, and pitch reporting are what your quarter looks like, that conversation is worth having.
4. Profound
Best for: teams that need deep answer-engine research, query fanout, and enterprise controls.
Starter is $99 per month billed yearly with ChatGPT, 50 prompts, 100 agent credits a month, one seat, one language and region, and no API. Growth is $399 per month billed yearly with three answer engines, 100 prompts, 400 credits, and three seats, still without API. Enterprise is custom and reaches up to nine engines with multiple companies, API, SSO and SAML, SOC 2 compliance, tailored languages and regions, and dedicated Slack support. Both paid plans advertise two months free on annual billing.
Key features. Prompt tracking, query fanout, benchmarking, sentiment and keyword themes, citation-source authority analysis, AEO dashboards, CSV export, FactCheck, Visibility Scores, Platform Comparisons, Agents, and Prompt Volumes. Named engines across the platform include ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek, with coverage described across more than 30 languages and 150 or more regions.
One honest limitation. Tier gating is steep. Starter is ChatGPT only, Growth gives you three engines, and neither includes API access, so multi-engine or multi-region programs land on Enterprise. If your job is genuinely research, understanding how an answer gets assembled and which sources shape it, Profound is the sharpest instrument on this list. If your job is publishing the pages that change that answer, look at where the work goes after the insight.
5. Scrunch
Best for: teams that need to separate branded, competitive, and third-party citations and inspect the URLs behind AI answers.
Core is $250 per month with 125 unique prompts, five site audits monthly, limited query fanout, 25 sitemap pages, one page optimization a month, five user licenses, four LLMs, one brand workspace, one country, three personas, two languages, five competitors, and three AI Search Trends topics. The four Core LLMs are ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Copilot. Enterprise is custom and opens up to nine LLMs with custom or unlimited countries, personas, languages, and competitors, plus API, Looker Studio, SAML or OIDC SSO, and a dedicated team. A seven-day free trial appears in the guide material.
Key features. The citation model is the standout. Scrunch splits branded, competitive, and third-party citations, then shows the domain, the cited URL, the prompts citing a source, citation frequency, and citation consistency. Add an Influence Score, prompt monitoring, competitive presence analysis, and a 12-week date selector with filters, and you get a much better answer to "why is that page winning?" than a mention count alone gives you.
One honest limitation. Core is a tight starting point for a broad program: one country, two languages, three personas, five competitors, and four LLMs. API, Looker Studio, and wider coverage need Enterprise. If citation provenance is genuinely your deciding question, Scrunch earns the $250. If you are still trying to see the whole board, it is a lot of money for one country.
6. Rankscale
Best for: buyers who want the widest engine list, frequent scheduling, and a low entry price built on credits.
Essentials starts at $20 per month with unlimited search terms, unlimited seats, all regions, and scheduling from hourly to monthly. Pro is $99 with 1,200 credits, up to 4,800 answers, 10 dashboards, and 50 page audits. Growth is $385 with 5,500 credits, up to 22,000 answers, 50 dashboards, 200 audits, REST API, and white-label links. Enterprise is $780 with 12,000 credits and up to 48,000 answers. Annual billing advertises a 15% saving.
Key features. Rankscale advertises 17 or more engines, with Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, DeepSeek, Mistral, and Grok among the named ones. It monitors brands, products, and ads, which is a wider brief than brand mentions alone. Metrics span AI visibility score, rankings, sentiment, mentions, citations, share of voice, prompt search volume, intent, density, competitors, and source frequency, alongside 94 or more technical checkpoints.
One honest limitation. The credit model needs modeling before you buy. A typical engine query is described as using 0.25 credits per engine per prompt, so broad multi-engine tracking at hourly frequency burns through an allowance quickly. The $20 Essentials tier also includes zero brand dashboard slots. Do the arithmetic on your own engine count and schedule first, and the breadth is genuinely compelling.
7. Goodie
Best for: revenue-minded teams that want AI visibility connected to attribution.
Explorer is $399 per month with 100 prompts, 3,000 AI responses monthly, one brand, three seats, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity, 10 optimization actions a month, Google Analytics attribution, and MCP access. Yearly billing saves 20%. Pro adds Gemini, Copilot, and Rufus with 250 prompts, 7,500 responses, five seats, 30 actions, and full revenue attribution. Enterprise reaches up to 11 models including Claude, Google AI Mode, Meta AI, DeepSeek, and Grok, with 500 or more prompts, unlimited seats, custom attribution, and full API and export. Pro and Enterprise prices are not published.
Key features. Mentions, citations, sentiment, competitive share, search volume, visibility, and revenue impact, plus customer-prompt discovery, high-intent opportunities, competitor positioning, optimization actions, content gaps, multi-domain dashboards, white-label reporting, and an AI-crawler view. The attribution angle is the real differentiator: Goodie connects to Google Analytics and frames AI search as a channel whose effect may not show up in last-click reporting. Goodie's own materials claim clicks capture less than 13% of what AI search drives, which is worth reading as their positioning rather than as an industry benchmark.
One honest limitation. Explorer opens at $399 with three engines, and the coverage most buyers picture sits on unpriced tiers. If your CFO asks whether AI visibility is contributing to pipeline, Goodie is built for that exact conversation and few others on this list are. If the question is what to publish next, the fit is weaker.
8. Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit
Best for: existing Semrush customers who want AI visibility inside the SEO platform they already use.
The base AI Visibility Toolkit is $99 per month per domain, billed annually, naming ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, and Perplexity with 300 reports per day. You can pull reports for any domain, though Brand Performance analysis covers one. Enterprise is custom, with unlimited projects, multi-brand and product tracking, daily or weekly tracking, API and custom integrations, SSO, governance and audit logs, and an account manager. Add-ons price separately: extra users from $45 per month, lead generation at $90, a Base Report at $10, and a Pro Report at $20 with branding, white-labeling, AI summaries, and link sharing.
Key features. An AI Visibility Overview reporting visibility and overall share of voice, with mentions and citations filterable by platform, source, and intent. Prompt Research and Competitor Research sit alongside it, so you can find gaps where a rival is cited and you are not, compare mentions, sources, and sentiment, and pick pages to optimize. It connects to Google Analytics for traffic and conversions. Some report generation and customization features are marked coming soon in the reviewed material.
One honest limitation. That $99 is per domain and annual, not a flat team price, and users and reports add cost on top. Exact prompt volume is not published. For a team already living in Semrush every day, the consolidation is worth real money in habit alone. For a team that would buy Semrush only for this, the per-domain math gets expensive fast.
How to choose your Brandofy alternative
Stuck between two? Match the tool to the sentence that sounds most like your quarter.
"We can see the gap and still cannot produce enough." DeepSmith. Define the prompts your buyers ask, watch mentions and citations, find the competitor pages and topic gaps, generate ideas with the evidence attached, then produce, schedule, publish, and repurpose in the same place.
"We want focused monitoring at a low entry price." OtterlyAI. Check which engines your plan includes rather than assuming all seven, and confirm your prompt count.
"We are an agency, and reporting is the product." Peec AI. Ask for the quote and the onboarding breakdown before you compare credits with anyone's monthly subscription.
"We need to understand how the answer gets built." Profound. Confirm your engine and API needs before choosing Starter or Growth.
"We need to know exactly which pages win citations." Scrunch. Budget for Enterprise if you need more than one country and five competitors.
"Engine breadth comes first." Rankscale. Model the credits and dashboard slots against your real schedule before picking Essentials.
"Leadership wants the revenue line." Goodie. Expect a sales call for Pro or Enterprise pricing.
"We already run everything in Semrush." Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit. Check per-domain cost, add-ons, and the status of the reporting features you are counting on.
Two more things worth holding onto whatever you pick.
Engine count is not coverage. A headline of seven, ten, or 17 can hide add-ons, enterprise gates, credit ceilings, or a narrower collection schedule. Always pair the number with the plan that includes it.
And mentions and citations answer different questions. A mention means AI named you. A citation means AI linked to your page. You can be mentioned constantly and own none of the sources, which is a very different problem with a very different fix.
Try the loop yourself
If your bottleneck is production rather than measurement, you can see both sides on real data before you pay. Start a free DeepSmith trial and set up your prompts, your competitors, and your first batch of ideas in an afternoon.
Seven days, no long-term contract. That is a small enough step to take this week.
