Track how your brand appears across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude — the SEO layer for AI answers.
Marketing
Rank Prompt is the answer engine optimization (AEO) tracker built for solo marketers and small teams who need to know — cheaply and without a four-figure annual commitment — whether their brand shows up when someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini a buying question. Launched in 2024 as one of the earliest tools in the AEO category, Rank Prompt has quietly become the entry-tier default in a space that did not exist two years ago and now has half a dozen credible competitors.
The concept is straightforward. You feed the tool a list of prompts your customers would plausibly ask an assistant — "best CRM for solo founders," "AI writing assistant with plagiarism check," "call center for international outbound" — and Rank Prompt runs those prompts against the four major assistants on a schedule, logs whether your brand appears in the answer, and surfaces the same for your competitors. Over time it builds a share-of-voice picture: how often you appear versus your competitors, on which prompts you win, which prompts you lose, and how the answers are shifting week by week.
The one-line positioning: Rank Prompt is the AEO tracker for solo marketers, in-house heads of growth at bootstrapped SaaS, and small agencies who want visibility across all four major assistants without a Peec-tier budget. It is the cheapest tool in the category that still covers ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini from the entry tier — every competitor either charges more for that coverage or gates one of the assistants behind a higher plan.
For solo founders and marketers doing AEO in 2026 without a dedicated team or an enterprise budget, Rank Prompt is the default first tab.
Rank Prompt's product surface is deliberately focused. The category is young and the tool has resisted the temptation to bloat with adjacent features it cannot do well yet.
Four major assistants, entry-tier. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini all included at the $29/month Starter plan. No gated model, no "upgrade to add Perplexity" surprise on the pricing page. This is the single most important structural feature of the product and the reason Rank Prompt wins the price-to-coverage argument against every alternative.
Prompt tracking on a schedule. You add a prompt, choose a cadence (daily, weekly, or monthly), and Rank Prompt runs it against the selected assistants automatically. Each run logs the full answer, whether your brand appears, in what context, and which competitors were named.
Competitor auto-detection. After the first few runs, Rank Prompt auto-identifies the brands most frequently named in your tracked prompts and adds them to your competitor set. You get share-of-voice metrics without manually building a list — genuinely useful for teams new to the category.
Share-of-voice dashboard. A single dashboard shows how often your brand appears across all tracked prompts, how the share-of-voice trend is moving week over week, and which prompts are pulling their weight. This is the view marketing leads actually check on Monday mornings.
Position and mention context. Not just "did your brand appear" — Rank Prompt logs where in the answer, alongside which competitors, and in what framing (recommended, mentioned in passing, cited as a source). The nuance matters because "listed third of five" is different from "recommended as the top pick."
Prompt-level history. Every run of every prompt is stored and queryable. You can see how the answer to "best AI writing assistant" has drifted across ChatGPT over three months — which is the single most useful view for arguing to a founder that AEO is or is not moving.
Source tracking on Perplexity and Gemini. When the assistant cites a source, Rank Prompt logs which pages the model pulled from. Over time this becomes a real backlink and citation-target audit — the AEO equivalent of a rank tracker's SERP feature report.
CSV and API export. For teams that want to pipe AEO data into a broader marketing dashboard (Looker, Databox, Notion), Rank Prompt exports cleanly and offers an API on the Pro tier.
Team seats and reporting. Multi-user access, saved views, and PDF exports for client or leadership reporting. Not as agency-polished as Peec AI, but functional for small teams.
Rank Prompt keeps pricing simple: two published tiers plus custom Enterprise, all billed monthly with an annual discount.
| Plan | Monthly | Best for | Tracked prompts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $29 | Solo marketers, bootstrapped SaaS | Up to 30 |
| Pro | $79 | In-house teams, small agencies | Up to 100 |
| Enterprise | Custom | 500+ prompts, SSO, dedicated support | Unlimited |
Starter at $29/month is the tier the tool is really built around. Thirty tracked prompts is enough for a solo founder to cover their brand, their category, and three or four buying-intent prompts across all four assistants — and it runs at a price point where you do not need to justify it to a CFO. Every competitor with comparable four-assistant coverage lands at $79-$149/month for the same slice.
Pro at $79/month is where growing marketing teams sit. 100 tracked prompts, API access, priority support, and enough seats for a small in-house team plus a founder. If you are running AEO alongside a full content and SEO program, Pro is the tier that lets you cover buying intent, top-of-funnel comparison, and long-tail how-to prompts without running out of slots.
Enterprise is quoted case-by-case. Real pricing lands in the $200-$500/month range depending on prompt volume, seat count, and support needs. Most teams should not need it.
The honest read: Rank Prompt is the cheapest sharp tool in the AEO category. The Starter tier is priced so that testing AEO for a quarter is not a budget decision — which is exactly what a category this new needs.
Pros
Cons
Solo marketer at a bootstrapped SaaS running growth alongside three other jobs. $29/month gets you all four assistants, competitor auto-detection, and enough reporting to prove to yourself and a co-founder that AEO is or is not moving. Graduate to Pro at $79 when you have 100+ tracked prompts.
In-house head of growth at a Series A SaaS. Rank Prompt Pro at $79 is the right tier — enough prompts to cover buying intent plus long-tail, seats for two or three teammates, API for the marketing dashboard.
Small agency running AEO for 3-10 clients. Pro tier plus per-client reporting workflow. Not as polished as Peec for client-facing PDFs, but the price differential (roughly 3x) usually wins the internal argument.
Founder testing whether AEO is worth investing in. The Starter tier is priced deliberately at "test without asking permission." Track 20 prompts for a month, look at the share-of-voice trend, decide.
Content and SEO manager expanding into answer engines. Existing SEO stack (Ahrefs, Semrush) does not cover ChatGPT and Claude answers. Rank Prompt is the cleanest way to add that visibility without adopting a new full-suite tool.
Two direct competitors and a handful of adjacent tools compete in the AEO tracker category. The honest read:
Peec AI — the enterprise-tier and agency-friendly choice. Peec's PDF reporting, competitor benchmarking, and prompt suggestion library are more polished, but the pricing starts at roughly $99/month and scales fast. If you have an enterprise budget or you are running AEO for enterprise clients, Peec wins the depth argument.
Otterly — the depth-first option. Otterly overlaps with Rank Prompt at $29/month but wins on per-prompt source-level attribution and citation analysis. If AEO for a technical or niche brand is your job and you want to know exactly which pages the model is pulling from, Otterly is the sharper pick.
Semrush and Ahrefs — both have added lightweight AI-answer tracking modules in 2025-2026 as part of their broader SEO suites. Neither is as focused as a dedicated AEO tool, but if you are already paying $199+/month for one of them, the bundled feature covers casual monitoring.
For the honest head-to-head with real accounts and a month of testing, read Rank Prompt vs Peec AI vs Otterly: Tracking Your Brand in ChatGPT and Perplexity in 2026. The short version is that none of them is a clear category winner — the split is coverage-first (Rank Prompt), agency-first (Peec), or depth-first (Otterly).
Sign up at rankprompt.com — through our partner link. Use join.rankprompt.com/3grypvjmk9va to start on the Starter tier at $29/month. A 7-day trial is available; no credit card required to explore the dashboard.
Add your first 10-15 prompts. Start with your brand name (as a sanity check that Rank Prompt is picking up mentions correctly), then add 5-10 buying-intent prompts your customers would actually ask an assistant. "Best [category] for [use case]" is the pattern that surfaces the most useful data.
Let it run for 7-14 days before drawing conclusions. AEO share-of-voice fluctuates run-to-run because the underlying models are non-deterministic. Two weeks of data smooths the noise and gives you a real trend line to work with.
Skip Pro until you're bumping the 30-prompt Starter cap — most solo founders take 2-3 months to get there.
How does Rank Prompt actually run the prompts? Rank Prompt calls each assistant through supported programmatic access — ChatGPT via the OpenAI API, Claude via the Anthropic API, Perplexity and Gemini through their respective APIs. Runs are logged with timestamps and full response text so you can audit any specific result.
Are the results the same as what a real user would see? Close, but not identical. API responses can differ slightly from ChatGPT.com or Claude.ai because of memory, custom instructions, and interface-specific system prompts. Rank Prompt runs cleanly without personalization so the data is comparable over time — which is the right tradeoff for a tracker.
How often should I run each prompt? Weekly is the default we recommend for buying-intent prompts. Daily is overkill and burns your prompt quota. Monthly is too infrequent to catch drift. Rank Prompt lets you set cadence per-prompt so you can mix.
Can I track branded prompts as well as unbranded ones? Yes. Some teams use Rank Prompt just for branded prompts ("what does [company] do") as a reputation check. Most teams mix branded, competitor, and category prompts to get the full share-of-voice picture.
Does Rank Prompt do prompt suggestions? Not natively at the depth of Peec AI. You bring the prompt list. This is the biggest workflow gap for teams new to AEO — plan an hour of upfront prompt design before signup, and the tool works better from day one.
Rank Prompt Starter at $29/month is the cheapest sharp tool in the AEO category — and the right default for anyone starting AEO in 2026 without an enterprise budget. The four-assistant coverage from the entry tier is a structural advantage over every competitor, and the share-of-voice dashboard is genuinely readable in a way that makes AEO measurable for a solo marketer or a two-person growth team.
Where Rank Prompt stops being the sharpest answer: agencies that need polished PDF client reporting should look at Peec AI, and technical brands that need deep per-source citation analysis should look at Otterly. Neither of those cases is the majority of AEO buyers in 2026 — most teams doing AEO right now are solo marketers or in-house growth leads, and Rank Prompt is priced and scoped for exactly that buyer.
The honest recommendation: subscribe to Rank Prompt Starter for one month, add 20-30 buying-intent prompts, and treat the share-of-voice trend line at day 30 as your answer on whether AEO is worth investing in for your category. If the trend is flat and low, the answer is "not yet." If it is moving, upgrade to Pro and start optimizing the pages that show up in the citations. Either way, $29 is a lot cheaper than guessing.
