Key takeaways
  • Wellows is the most workflow-complete tool in this comparison: citation tracking, content optimisation, outreach templates with verified contacts, and strategic monthly calls included on every plan. Per-domain pricing, $37 to $497/domain/month.
  • LLMrefs auto-generates 25 prompts per keyword across 11 AI engines. One flat €79/month plan covers unlimited projects, unlimited seats, geo-targeting across 50+ countries, and API access. Best for teams who want to extend existing SEO keyword workflows into AI.
  • AI Peekaboo gives you a read and write API from $50/month with white-label delivery, guest access links, Looker Studio connector, and pay-per-prompt pricing. Best for agencies and consultants who need data to move into existing client reports.
  • Wellows and AI Peekaboo do not ship structured keyword import. LLMrefs is built around it: you upload keywords, the platform fans out prompts. This is the most meaningful workflow difference in the comparison.
  • None of the three lock API access behind enterprise pricing. AI Peekaboo exposes read and write API on every plan. LLMrefs includes API access on the single €79/month plan. Wellows has no public API tier.
  • LLMrefs is the most cost-efficient for agencies managing multiple clients. AI Peekaboo scales via per-prompt pricing. Wellows scales per domain, which gets expensive for agencies without careful pricing strategy.

Three different framings of the same job: helping brands appear in AI-generated answers. Wellows closes the loop from monitoring to action with citation tracking, content optimisation that audits before recommending, outreach templates with verified contacts, and strategic monthly calls included in every plan. LLMrefs takes your existing keyword list and auto-generates 25 prompts per keyword across 11 AI engines, with unlimited projects and seats on a single €79/month plan. AI Peekaboo skips the workflow layer entirely and exposes a read and write API plus white-label delivery from $50/month for teams that need data to flow into existing reports and tools. The right pick depends on whether your priority is guided execution with outreach, agency-grade keyword tracking at flat pricing, or programmatic data delivery into the systems you already operate.

Wellows

AI visibility platform that tracks citations, optimizes content, and surfaces outreach contacts in one place

Full review →
Wellows screenshot

Wellows tracks brand citations across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, and Perplexity, then layers action tooling on top. Where most AI visibility platforms stop at the monitoring dashboard, Wellows adds content optimisation that audits before recommending, outreach templates with verified contact details, and strategic monthly calls included at every pricing tier.

The Content Optimization feature (currently in beta) audits existing site pages before flagging gaps. If a strong page already covers a topic but is not being cited by AI engines, the platform recommends optimizing that page rather than creating a new one, which avoids keyword cannibalisation and concentrates effort where the site already has authority. The outreach module surfaces relevant pages where the brand is not being cited and provides contact details so the team can request inclusion.

Plans range from $37/domain/month for Lite (ChatGPT only) up to $497/domain/month for Pro (all five engines, 1,000 prompts, five strategic calls). The per-domain pricing model makes agency margins require careful management, since every client domain adds cost. There is no public API tier, and there is no white-label delivery mention on the public pricing page, which constrains the agency-first use case versus AI Peekaboo or LLMrefs.

LLMrefs

Keyword-based AI search visibility tracking across 11 engines with share of voice, citations, and unlimited agency seats

Full review →
LLMrefs screenshot

LLMrefs is built around a keyword-first workflow for AI search. You import your existing SEO keyword list (from Ahrefs, Semrush, Moz, or any CSV), and the platform automatically generates 25 fan-out prompts per keyword based on real user conversation patterns. Results aggregate across all 25 prompts to produce statistically meaningful share-of-voice and position metrics per keyword, addressing the non-determinism that makes single-prompt tracking noisy.

Coverage spans 11 AI engines: ChatGPT, ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Copilot, Meta AI, and DeepSeek. Geo-targeting covers 50+ countries and 10+ languages, so agencies running global campaigns can track brand visibility market by market. Source citation tracking shows which third-party domains carry citation authority in the category.

Pricing is flat: a single All-in-One plan at €79/month covers unlimited projects, unlimited team seats, geo-targeting, source tracking, API access, and CSV export. The 7-day free trial requires no credit card. There is no white-label client portal on any plan, so agencies that want branded dashboards under their own domain need to build them on top of the API.

AI Peekaboo

AI visibility monitoring with a read/write API and white-label delivery

Full review →
AI Peekaboo screenshot

AI Peekaboo tracks brand mentions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode, then exposes the data through a read and write API on every plan from $50/month. The read API pulls visibility data into existing reporting setups. The write API triggers monitoring runs programmatically, useful for on-demand audits and integration into existing tooling.

The platform is built with agency workflows in mind. Pricing scales per prompt rather than per seat, so adding more clients does not inflate the cost per brand. White-label delivery with guest access links is included on every plan, so clients see visibility reports under the agency brand without logging into a separate platform. Looker Studio connector is included on every plan, which makes it easy to put AI visibility alongside SEO, paid, and other data in existing reports.

The main gap is that there is no crawler log access and no built-in content generation. If you need to connect citations to specific crawl events (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.), Profound or LLM Pulse are better suited. If you need a full workflow platform with outreach and content optimisation, Wellows is the closer fit. If you need the data to travel into existing tools and reports at $50/month self-serve, AI Peekaboo is the only one of the three that delivers that combination on a standard plan.

Frequently asked questions

Which tool is cheapest to start with?

AI Peekaboo at $50/month is the cheapest entry point and includes the full API plus white-label delivery. LLMrefs is €79/month flat with unlimited projects, seats, and API access. Wellows Lite is $37/domain/month but covers only ChatGPT, so multi-engine coverage requires the $297/domain/month Starter tier.

Which tool covers the most AI engines?

LLMrefs covers 11 AI engines including ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Copilot, Meta AI, and DeepSeek. Wellows covers 5 engines (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity) on its top three tiers. AI Peekaboo tracks 5 engines across all plans.

Can I import existing SEO keywords into any of these tools?

LLMrefs is the only one of the three built around keyword import. You upload keywords in CSV format and the platform auto-generates 25 fan-out prompts per keyword. Wellows and AI Peekaboo work from manually configured prompt sets rather than keyword lists.

Which tool is best for agencies managing multiple clients?

LLMrefs is the most cost-efficient for agencies: €79/month flat covers unlimited client projects and unlimited seats. AI Peekaboo is strong for agencies that need programmatic data access, with white-label and API on every plan. Wellows is also agency-ready but per-domain pricing makes service package margins tighter to manage.

Do any of these tools come with strategic or analyst support?

Wellows includes 1 to 5 strategic monthly calls per plan, depending on the tier. LLMrefs offers priority support but no strategic calls on the public plan. AI Peekaboo is self-serve with no analyst support tier on standard pricing.

What does Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) mean for these tools?

GEO is the practice of optimising content, technical signals, and citations so AI-generated answers cite your brand. Wellows supports the full GEO loop including outreach, content optimization, and calls. LLMrefs focuses on the GEO measurement layer using imported keywords. AI Peekaboo focuses on the GEO data-delivery layer so existing tools and reports can consume visibility metrics programmatically.
