Otterly.ai alternatives: one-time audit vs monthly dashboard (prices checked)
Otterly, Peec AI and Profound all bill monthly. See what a one-time $4.99 visibility audit covers instead — vendor prices checked September 2026, our price current as of 21 October 2026.
The short version: monthly AI-visibility dashboards (Otterly from $29/mo, Peec AI from ~€70/mo, Profound) are built for agencies watching many brands. If you run one business, a one-time audit answers the same question for a fraction of the first year's cost — and you own the evidence.
The core comparison
Vendor prices checked from their sites in September 2026; our price is current as of 21 October 2026. Tiers change — verify before you buy.
| Monthly dashboards | One-time audit (ours) | |
|---|---|---|
| Published price | $29 – $489 / month (Otterly's tiers; Peec AI similar) | $4.99 once |
| First-year cost | $348 – $5,868 | $4.99 |
| What you get | a dashboard you must check | a PDF verdict + ranked fixes + full evidence |
| Re-checks | included (that's the subscription) | none included — a fresh run is another $4.99 |
| Best for | agencies, multi-location chains | single-location businesses |
The one question that decides it
Will you actually log in every week? Dashboards earn their price from cadence. Most single-location owners check twice, then pay for ten more months out of guilt. If that's you, you want the census (where you stand), not the time series (how it wiggles).
What a one-time audit covers that a dashboard trial doesn't
Every answer printed in full — including the ones that never name you. A mechanical verdict picked by a published rule. Fact-checks of every claim assistants make about you, and every price they quote for your business. See a complete real report before deciding anything.
Run your check first
The free check shows you all 30 questions it would ask and runs a technical pre-flight, in about a minute. No account, no card.
What does AI say about your business?
The free check reads your site and shows you the exact questions we would ask — before you enter any card details. The full report is $4.99 once.
