Keyword-based AI search visibility tracker with one flat plan
LLMrefs report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for tracking AI visibility by keyword, not prompt
LLMrefs starts from your SEO keywords, turns each into the prompts people ask, and ranks you against rivals across ten AI engines. One plan, $79 a month, covers 500 prompts and unlimited projects and users. But the data refreshes weekly, not daily, the price is marked limited time with no end date, and there's no enterprise tier, SSO or white label.
Who LLMrefs is for
- Fits if you already track SEO keywords and want the same lists checked in AI answers
- Works for agencies, since projects and seats are unlimited on one plan
Who LLMrefs is not for
- Skip it if you need daily data, as it refreshes about once a week per keyword
- Not for you if you need SSO, white-label reports or an enterprise tier, as none are listed
- Skip it if you need a price you can count on, as $79 is marked limited time only
- Watch out: no integrations are listed beyond the API and CSV export
Why LLMrefs gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$79 a month for 500 prompts on every engine, with unlimited projects and seats. That's mid-range for this category, between $29 and $95. But the price is marked limited time only, with no end date or regular price given.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 7-day free trial, and signing up needs no credit card.
- CFeaturesFan-out prompts built from your keywords, share of voice and position across ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Copilot, Meta AI and DeepSeek, and cited sources in 50+ countries. The gap: data refreshes weekly, not daily.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. Importing an SEO keyword list is a familiar start, but you still set up projects, countries and competitors before the rankings say much.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app and no integrations on record. The one plan includes an API and CSV export.

Keep LLMrefs, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of LLMrefs you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $948 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.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. LLMrefs’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.
