Alli AI vs Encited (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Alli AI if

• Fits if you're an agency making on-page changes across client sites on different CMSs
• Makes sense if your site runs on a JavaScript framework that AI crawlers can't read

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you run one site, at $249 a month billed annually for the entry plan
• Watch out: changes live in Alli's snippet or plugin, not in your site's own code
• Tight if you outgrow Business, with 5 sites, 500 keywords and 1,250 pages before add-ons
• Skip it if you need the API or white-label hosting, which start on Agency at $499 a month

Pick Encited if

• Fits if your site is built with Lovable or a similar builder that crawlers can't read
• Works for teams that run SEO work through AI agents over MCP

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: the 14-day trial needs a card, and keyword search stays locked until you pay
• Tight if you track AI answers on Essential, which skips Google AI Overviews, Claude and Grok
• Pricey if you go over, at $2 per 1,000 extra renders on Essential, $15 a month per extra site and prompts from $70
• Not for you if you might leave a monthly plan early, as there are no partial refunds and your data is cleared when it ends

Alli AI

• There is no free plan; every plan starts with the 10-day trial.
• Business covers 5 sites, 500 keywords and 1,250 pages; extra sites start at $32.50 a month and 100 more keywords at $20.83 on annual billing.
• API access and white-label snippet hosting start at Agency; a fully white-labeled dashboard needs Enterprise.
• Changes are delivered through Alli's snippet, plugin or tag manager tag, not written into the site's own code.

Encited

• Essential tracks only ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity; Google AI Overviews needs Business, and Claude and Grok need Agency.
• Overages: extra renders cost $2 per 1,000 on Essential, extra edge-proxy sites $15 a month each, and extra AI prompts from $70 a month.
• Keyword search and content ideas stay locked during the trial and open once the paid plan starts.
• Monthly plans get no partial refunds, and when a plan ends Encited stops prerendering the site and clears its data.
