Which one is for you
Pick Hikoo if
- Fits if you want AI visibility gaps worked on, not only measured
- Works for teams already on Peec AI, Otterly.AI or a similar monitor
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay on Free: 10 questions on ChatGPT only, 2 competitors and 100 pages audited a month
- Skip it if you need Claude, Grok, AI Overviews or AI Mode below €499 a month, as they come with Agent or as extras by request
- Pricey if you run several sites, since each subscription covers one site, and prices exclude VAT
- Watch out: the outreach agent, prepared page fixes and weekly summary are on the €499 Agent plan only
- Watch out: cancelling a yearly subscription doesn't refund the year already paid
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.
