LLM Pulse review (2026): is it worth $49 a month, billed yearly?
AI search visibility tracker with weekly or daily prompt checks
LLM Pulse report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for weekly AI visibility checks on a smaller budget
LLM Pulse runs your prompts on ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overviews and Gemini and shows mentions, citations and where you sit against rivals. Starter is $49 a month on yearly billing for weekly checks. But daily checks cost 50 to 60% more with no trial, Claude, Grok and Copilot are add-ons from $10 a month each, the trial needs a payment method, and prices are converted from euros.
Who LLM Pulse is for
- Fits if weekly checks on 5 models are enough and you track around 50 prompts
- Works for online shops that want ChatGPT Shopping picks and ads tracked, on Scale at $294
Who LLM Pulse is not for
- Skip it if you want to try before handing over payment details, as the 14-day trial needs them
- Pricey if you need daily checks, which cost 50 to 60% more than weekly and start with no trial
- Tight if Claude, Grok or Copilot matter to you, as each is an add-on from $10 a month
- Watch out: extra prompts are $2 a month each and extra projects $59, and sentiment waits for Growth
- Watch out: prices are set in euros and converted, and the API, Looker Studio and CLI start at Scale
Why LLM Pulse gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyStarter is $49 a month billed yearly, or $58 monthly, for 50 prompts checked weekly on 5 models. That's right on this category's middle of $49, but daily checks take it to $78, and Claude or Copilot are from $10 a month per model on top.
- DFree plan and trialA 14-day trial on the weekly plans, but it needs a payment method. Daily plans start at once with no trial, and there's no free plan.
- CFeaturesVisibility, share of voice, citations, 10 to 25 competitors per project, recommendations, a GEO Writer and AI bot logs. The gaps: Starter checks weekly, Claude, Grok and Copilot are paid add-ons, and sentiment waits for Growth.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. You set up a project, prompts and competitors, choose weekly or daily, and decide which extra models to pay for.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It has MCP on every plan and links to Looker Studio, Power BI, Zapier, Make and n8n, with the API and CLI on Scale.

Keep LLM Pulse, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of LLM Pulse you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 90 of the 157 other AI search visibility tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- It plugs into other products, MCP, Looker Studio and Power BI among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. LLM Pulse’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
