Which one is for you
Pick CiteCue if
- Fits if you want fixes drafted for you rather than a list of problems, from Pro at $89
- Works for online stores that want to see whether an AI agent can find prices and check out, on Agency
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if Perplexity, Claude or Copilot matter, as they're tracked only on the custom Enterprise plan
- Tight if you stay free or on Starter: Free is Gemini only with 5 manual scans a month, and Starter is ChatGPT only
- Pricey if you need AI Overviews, brand risk alerts, the API or MCP, which all need Agency at $299 a month
- Watch out: Auto-Fix works only on sites that run through Cloudflare
- Not for you if you want yearly billing or a refund, as prices are monthly and fees aren't refunded
Pick Peec AI if
- Fits if your whole team needs a login, since users are unlimited on every plan
- Works for shops that want win rates per product in AI shopping answers, from a Shopify or CSV catalog
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you want more than 3 AI models, as each extra one costs $30 to $140 a month
- Skip it if you need Claude, Grok or DeepSeek tracked, which only Enterprise covers
- Not for you if you need the API or SSO without an Enterprise contract, billed annually
- Watch out: Looker Studio and multi-country tracking start on Advanced at $495, and the trial's length isn't stated
- Watch out: agencies are priced separately, on their own bundle page

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
