Which one is for you
Pick Otterly.AI if
- Fits if a daily read on ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews and Copilot is what you need
- Works for agencies that brand client reports through Looker Studio, from Standard
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if Gemini, AI Mode or Claude matter to you, as they're paid add-ons on every plan, and all seven engines add $227 a month on Standard
- Not for you if you need white-label reports, as there aren't any
- Tight if you start on Lite, with 15 prompts, one workspace, no API or MCP, and no extra prompt packs
- Pricey if you outgrow Lite, as Standard is $160 a month yearly and extra prompts are $99 per 100, with 300 at most before Premium at $422
- Watch out: Claude is tracked through its API using the Haiku model, and crawler analytics needs server log files you upload
Pick Reachd if
- Fits if you run a local business, such as a clinic, law firm or contractor
- Works for owners who want a short weekly to-do list by email rather than a dashboard
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need Perplexity, Claude or Grok for under $239 a month, as Starter covers ChatGPT and Google AI only
- Watch out: query volume is given only as standard or twice standard, with no prompt count published
- Not for you if you want the work done for you, as Expert adds an adviser, not someone to make the changes
- Pricey if you run several businesses, since each one is priced separately, from $79 a month billed yearly or $99 monthly
- Tight if you want to try it properly first, as only the first analysis is free

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.
