SE Ranking in three lines
- On price per answer, nothing in this comparison beats SE Ranking's standalone tracker, SE Visible: $89/mo for 75 prompts tracked daily, about 11,250 answers a month, with unlimited users.
- The 14-day free trial with no card is the longest here.
- Two things to know before buying: the tracker inside the SE Ranking SEO plans is a smaller thing (25 prompts), and Perplexity is not on the engine list.

Who is SE Ranking for, and who should skip it?
A good fit for
- Teams that want volume: many prompts, checked every day, for little money
- SEOs who already use SE Ranking for rank tracking
- Buyers who want a long trial before they commit
Not for
- Brands whose buyers ask Perplexity or (below the Agency plan) Claude
- Agencies that need white label on the AI product today
- People who want one product page that explains everything: there are two products to untangle
How much does SE Ranking cost?
"SE Ranking AI Visibility Tracker" covers two things. Inside the SEO platform, SE Ranking Core ($129 a month, $103.20 billed annually) and Growth ($279, $223.20 annually) include AI visibility tracking with 25 prompts a day on 5 AI engines. The standalone product, SE Visible, has its own plans: Basic from $89 a month ($71 billed annually) with 75 prompts tracked daily, about 11,250 answers a month and 5 projects; Core from $189 ($151) with 200 prompts and about 30,000 answers; Agency from $399 ($319) with 1,000 prompts, about 180,000 answers and 30 projects.
Annual billing saves 20% on both. If AI visibility is the goal, SE Visible is the better buy: three times the prompts of the bundled tracker for less money. If you need rank tracking, audits and backlinks too, the SEO plan with its 25 prompts is a fair starter.

What does SE Ranking actually do?
AI Results Tracker
The tracker follows your prompts across engines and records brand mentions and links for you and your competitors, with history. SE Ranking keeps cached copies of the AI answers, so you can read how an engine framed your brand on a given day instead of trusting a score.
AI Competitor Research
Measure any brand's or domain's AI presence, split into mentions and links, by topic. You can add up to five competitors and track presence over time. Because it works on any domain, it doubles as a prospecting tool.
Source and coverage analysis
Which domains and URLs appear in AI answers, and where your site sits among the sources. The view of a cached AI Overview with its linked sources is the most practical screen: it shows exactly which page won the citation.
Which AI engines does SE Ranking track?
SE Visible Basic and Core list ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Mode, AI Overview and Copilot. The Agency plan adds Claude. The AI Visibility Tracker page of the SEO platform names AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT and Gemini. Perplexity is not listed on either.
| Engine | On the SE Visible Basic plan |
|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Listed |
| Perplexity | Not listed on this plan |
| Gemini | Listed |
| Google AI Overviews | Listed |
| Google AI Mode | Listed |
| Claude | Not listed on this plan |
| Microsoft Copilot | Listed |
What are the limits of each plan?
SE Visible: prompts (75, 200, 1,000) and projects (5, 10, 30); users are unlimited. Inside the SEO plans: 25 prompts a day whatever the tier, and seats are limited (1 manager seat on Core, 3 on Growth). The 14-day trial includes 20 AI prompts a day.

Integrations, API and export
SE Ranking offers an API add-on (from $48 a month, $45 billed annually), MCP access, and connectors for Data Studio, AgencyAnalytics and Whatagraph, plus Make, n8n and Zapier for automation. White label comes from the Agency Pack add-on (+$69 a month, annual billing only); SE Ranking says it does not apply to SE Visible yet.
How do you get started?
Two free ways in. The AI Visibility Tracker page has a free check: your domain against up to 5 competitors on four engines, 5 attempts a day. Then the 14-day trial, with no card, for real tracking.
Which costs are easy to miss?
- The headline "from $71" is the annual price; month to month it is $89.
- White label needs the Agency Pack and annual billing, and covers the SEO platform only.
- API access is an add-on.

Strengths and the catch
What we like
- 75 daily prompts for $89, about 11,250 answers a month: the cheapest answer in this comparison
- 14-day trial with no card, the longest here
- AI Competitor Research measures any domain's presence, not only yours
- The same vendor covers classic rank tracking if you need both
The catch
- Two products, one name: the tracker inside SE Ranking has 25 prompts, the standalone SE Visible has the plans above. And no Perplexity.
- Not for: teams whose buyers live in Perplexity or Claude
