Otterly.AI vs TrackAIMentions (2026): which should you pick?

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 TrackAIMentions if

• Fits if you need a one-off AI visibility audit for a pitch or a renewal
• Works for agencies that want a white-label Deep Report to hand a client, at $179

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to watch changes week to week, as each re-run is another $19 or $39
• Not for you if Google's AI Overviews are part of the picture, as they aren't checked
• Too light for teams that need a dashboard, an API, client workspaces or scheduled reports
• Pricey if you'd buy often: one $49 Snapshot costs about a month of a mid-priced tracker

Otterly.AI

• Google AI Mode and Gemini cost $9, $59 or $149 a month each by plan, and Claude $29, $109 or $439, so all seven engines on Standard add $227 a month.
