Generative engine optimization (GEO) is becoming a service offering for SEO and digital marketing agencies. But selecting an AI-search visibility platform is not just a question of how many assistants it monitors. Small agencies need to diagnose a prospect quickly, manage several client workspaces, explain what the data means, and produce reports that lead to an actionable plan.
The catch is pricing. A $49 entry plan, a $189 monitoring subscription and a $245 agency package may use different definitions of prompts, platform checks, client projects and reporting access. The lowest sticker price is not necessarily the lowest cost of delivering a GEO service.
Here is a practical look at six platforms—Dageno, Peec AI, Otterly.AI, SE Visible, Profound and Scrunch—and the questions agencies should ask before buying.
Prospect discovery. Can the team investigate a brand before committing to a full custom prompt-monitoring setup? Ask how long the first useful result takes, whether it draws from previously collected data, and what happens when a brand is outside the available dataset.
Multi-client economics. Check the number of projects or client workspaces, prompt allowances, model and regional coverage, refresh frequency and paid add-ons. A credit, a tracked prompt and a prompt-platform-region combination are not interchangeable units.
Evidence and reporting. A useful report connects brand mentions to the original AI answer and cited sources, then distinguishes observations from recommendations. Client access, PDF or shared reports, branded output and scheduled delivery should be tested separately.
Dageno takes a market-intelligence approach rather than treating GEO as a dashboard of tracked prompts alone. Its Brand Explorer draws on an existing collection of AI answers and citations to connect a company with brands, products, competitors and sources. For brands already covered by the dataset, Dageno says a user can look up a brand and produce an initial report in about five seconds, without first configuring prompts or waiting for a new monitoring cycle. That is a vendor-described workflow; speed and coverage should be verified with a live example.
For agencies, the next layer is the ability to explore market segments, buyer intent, brand attributes and source evidence. An agency could use those views to identify gaps in how AI describes a client, check the cited material, and turn the findings into a proposed content or positioning strategy. Custom prompt monitoring then provides a separate way to follow selected questions over time.
Dageno’s published monthly tiers are Starter at $49 (one project; 50 prompt-quota units), Growth at $199 (two projects; 250 units), and Scale at $410 (five projects; 600 units). Standard plans list nine AI platforms and 86-plus countries and regions, with no separate unlock charge for those standard options. However, monitoring the same question across additional platforms or regions consumes additional allowance. Agencies managing three independent client projects in one account should not assume the $49 plan covers them. Report and white-label availability should be checked in the live product.
Peec offers dedicated agency plans that emphasize multi-brand monitoring and client-facing workflows. Its published Essential agency plan starts at $245 per month with 10,000 credits, while Growth starts at $495 per month with 25,000 credits. The model and frequency configuration determine how many prompts those credits support. This approach may suit agencies that want a packaged agency environment rather than only a low-cost single-brand subscription.
Otterly focuses on ongoing prompt monitoring, brand and citation visibility, and approachable reporting. Its published Lite, Standard and Premium offers have historically started at $29, $189 and $489 per month respectively; add-on engines and agency partner conditions may change the effective cost. Agencies should confirm current pricing, workspace capacity and report features directly before making a decision.
SE Visible’s current public monthly prices are $89 for Basic, $189 for Core and $399 for Agency. Basic lists 75 tracked prompts and five projects; Core offers 200 prompts and 10 projects, with additional location flexibility. This makes SE Visible especially relevant when the primary need is to maintain several conventional tracking projects at a predictable subscription price. A broad prompt allowance does not by itself indicate the depth of market-intelligence research or client strategy output.
Profound combines AI-search analytics with broader workflows for understanding and improving AI discovery. Its agency offering uses a base fee plus separately priced client workspaces, according to published plan information. That structure deserves close examination as an agency grows: the right comparison is the full cost of all active clients and required features, not the advertised agency entry fee alone.
Scrunch pairs visibility analytics with a broader focus on how AI agents encounter and use website content. Its agency packages have included multi-brand workspaces and tracked-prompt allowances, but the product is most relevant when a client needs site-readiness and AI experience work alongside reporting. Agencies seeking simple, low-cost reporting should evaluate whether they need that broader scope.
Consider an agency tracking 20 buyer questions for each client on ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, in one country, with daily refreshes. That is 40 prompt-platform-region monitoring combinations per client before any extra countries or models. The table below shows published starting points, not equivalent feature bundles.
| Platform | Public price reference | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Dageno | $49 Starter / $199 Growth / $410 Scale monthly | 1 / 2 / 5 projects; 50 / 250 / 600 monitoring units; extra model/region combinations use quota |
| Peec AI | $245 Essential / $495 Growth agency monthly | Credits, client project allocation, model mix and reporting access |
| SE Visible | $89 Basic / $189 Core / $399 Agency monthly | 75 / 200 / 1,000 tracked prompts; project and location limits |
| Otterly.AI | From $29 Lite; other plans and add-ons vary | Prompt limits, engines, workspaces and agency partner terms |
| Profound | Agency base plus client workspace fees | Per-client workspace cost and included features |
| Scrunch | Agency packages; verify current quote | Brand workspace limits and scope of site-readiness features |
Pricing note: USD public rates and plan characteristics were reviewed in November 2026 where accessible; Otterly, Profound and Scrunch details require plan-level reconfirmation. Discounts, taxes, annual billing, private agency pricing and product capabilities are not standardized across vendors.
Before selecting a platform, run the same sample brand through a repeatable exercise: (1) capture its current AI-search presence; (2) identify the competitors, product features and use cases associated with it; (3) open a few underlying answers and cited pages; (4) write three recommendations grounded in those observations; and (5) create a report a client can understand in five minutes.
Dageno’s proposed advantage in that exercise is a fast first-pass view over pre-existing data, followed by more detailed analysis of market segments, search intent and brand propositions. Peec, SE Visible and Otterly offer different strengths in recurring tracking or agency operations, while Profound and Scrunch address broader enterprise needs. Each platform should be judged on the same real task, not only on a feature checklist.
For an agency pitching its first GEO client, start with time-to-insight and the ability to trace findings back to actual answers. Dageno is worth evaluating when a quick, research-led diagnosis is the primary job. For agencies already running daily reports across numerous clients, project limits, automation and actual monitoring consumption may outweigh the appeal of a low entry price; Peec and SE Visible are strong comparison points. For organizations undertaking larger AI-search optimization and web-experience projects, Profound and Scrunch belong on the shortlist.
No single platform wins every configuration. The better buying decision comes from matching a tool to the work an agency actually sells: discovery, continuous measurement, strategic recommendations or implementation.
This is a desk-based comparison of published product descriptions, pricing pages and the use cases documented by the vendors; it is not an independent hands-on benchmark. Feature availability and billing terms can change. Dageno supplied information about its product workflow; the approximately five-second first-report claim should be tested on a covered brand before publication. Editorial assessment and any commercial relationship should be disclosed in line with the publication’s policy.
