The cheapest way into AI-search monitoring
Otterly.AI is the value pick in the category: $29/mo gets you AI-search monitoring across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot with 15 tracked prompts, 1,000 GEO URL audits and unlimited team members. That entry price is genuinely hard to beat, and we won't pretend otherwise. What it buys is monitoring — the jump to 100 prompts is $189/mo, and there is no traditional SEO platform, no llms.txt engine and no monthly execution plan at any tier. Amrut AI starts at $99/mo for 50 prompts a day across four engines, and bundles the whole SEO suite, llms.txt tooling and a nine-channel content calendar with it.

No tool wins every row. Here is the honest split, so you can stop reading early if Otterly.AI is the right answer for you.

The honest part
Every comparison page claims to win everything, which is why nobody believes them. These are the reasons we lose deals to Otterly.AI, written the way we would say them on a call.
$29/mo for monitoring across four engines is the lowest genuine price in the category. If you want to start measuring AI visibility this month on almost no budget, Otterly is the right answer and we would tell you so.
No per-seat pricing at any tier. For a team that wants everyone looking at the same dashboard, that is a cleaner deal than most competitors including several tiers of ours.
Thousands of GEO URL audits a month, plus API and MCP access from the Standard tier, is a lot of technical throughput for the price. Our page-level auditing is tied to our own analysis flow rather than sold by volume.
The difference that matters
Otterly.AI and Amrut AI both measure how AI engines describe you. Only one then tells you what to publish, where, and in what order.
P1/P2/P3 actions with an estimated visibility lift on each, the target AI models named per action, and a week 1–4 content calendar across nine channels. Every task carries its own outline, format, keyword and how-to.
Live GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot activity, Google-Extended, CCBot and Bytespider detection, which pages each agent can reach, and exactly what in your robots.txt is blocking them.
Generate, edit, version and roll back llms.txt with GA4-verified domain ownership — plus robots.txt and sitemap generators that improve the file you already serve instead of overwriting it.
Technical audits, keyword research, ranked keywords for any domain, backlinks, rank tracking, competitor Google Ads intelligence, and native GA4 and Search Console with AI referrals split by engine.
Switching
There is nothing to import. Amrut AI reads your live site, your GA4 and your Search Console — so a fair side-by-side takes an afternoon, not a quarter.
Enter your domain and the same competitors you track in Otterly.AI. No card, no call. You get a Visibility Score, sentiment, citations and a sample action plan.
Keep Otterly.AI running. Compare the two reports on the same domain in the same week — that is the only benchmark that means anything.
Connect GA4 and Search Console, take the first Monthly Growth Plan, and judge us on whether the next scan moved.
FAQ
At the entry tier, yes — Otterly Lite is $29/mo against Amrut AI's $99/mo AI Visibility Starter, and that is a real advantage we are not going to argue with. The comparison changes with volume: Lite tracks 15 prompts in total, while Amrut AI's $99/mo tracks 50 prompts a day. Otterly's 100-prompt Standard tier is $189/mo, which is above our Starter price and below our $249/mo Pro tier that tracks 100 prompts a day.
For a single narrow product in a small category, it can be. For most businesses it is not — you need prompts covering your category, your competitors, your use cases and your objections before the data means anything. That is the practical reason teams move off Lite, and it is worth modelling before you buy on price alone.
Otterly covers ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot on all plans. Amrut AI covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode. Four each, with different fourth choices — Otterly includes Copilot where we include Gemini and Google AI Mode. Which matters more depends entirely on where your buyers ask questions.
A complete traditional SEO platform — audits, Core Web Vitals, keyword research, ranked keywords, backlinks, rank tracking, competitor Google Ads intelligence, AI company profiles, YouTube trends — plus native GA4 and Search Console with AI referral traffic split by engine, a full llms.txt engine with GA4-verified editing and versioning, and the Monthly Growth Plan with a week-by-week nine-channel content calendar.
It gives you GEO URL audits and monitoring data, and from the Standard tier, Agent Analytics on AI crawler behaviour. What it does not produce is a prioritised, dated plan. Amrut AI regenerates a Monthly Growth Plan every month — P1/P2/P3 actions with an estimated visibility lift each, target AI models per action, and week 1–4 content tasks with outlines and how-tos.
That is a perfectly reasonable path, and a common one. Start on Otterly Lite at $29/mo to prove AI visibility matters in your category, then move when 15 prompts stops being enough or when you need the SEO platform and the execution plan in the same place. Amrut AI's free one-time scan lets you compare the two on your own domain before you switch.

Every Otterly.AI price and limit on this page was read from Otterly.AI's own public pricing and product pages on 3 September 2026 and is quoted as published, including annual-billing caveats. Amrut AI's rows are taken from the shipped product, not the roadmap. Where Otterly.AI does not publish a capability, the table says Not disclosed instead of assuming a no. Where Otterly.AI is better, it says so.
