Peec AI vs Semrush: 2026 Comparison
Published October 29, 2026
Peec AI is a stand-alone AI search tracker, and the Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit is the AI search add-on to a broader marketing suite. Both start near $100 per month, which makes them look interchangeable until prompts are counted. Peec includes 50 prompts for $95 with unlimited seats, while Semrush includes 25 prompts for $99 and charges $99 for each extra user.
Our analysts compared each vendor's pricing pages and help documentation as of October 29, 2026, then priced three one-brand workloads of 25, 100, and 350 prompts tracked daily. In the following sections, we compare the two tools on the points buyers weigh most, price the same work on both, and explain which buyer each fits and what changed recently.

List prices in US dollars before tax, billed monthly unless the row says otherwise. Workload costs are the cheapest published plan, or plan plus add-ons, that covers the job with daily tracking. Semrush is shown on one engine and on three engines.
Peec AI vs Semrush Cost for the Same Workload
Semrush assigns each tracked prompt to one engine, while Peec AI runs each prompt on several engines, so the Top GEO Agencies research team priced the same jobs with each tool's own counting. Each workload is tracked daily:
- One brand with 25 prompts.
- One brand with 100 prompts.
- One brand with 350 prompts.
Each cost is the cheapest published plan, or plan plus add-ons, that covers the workload. Semrush appears on one engine, and on three engines where each engine uses its own prompt allowance.
| Workload | Peec AI | Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit |
|---|---|---|
| 1 brand, 25 prompts | $95 (Starter, 50 prompts) | $99 on one engine ($99 plan); $159 on three engines ($99 + 1 add-on) |
| 1 brand, 100 prompts | $245 (Pro, 150 prompts) | $219 on one engine ($99 + 2 add-ons); $459 on three engines ($99 + 6 add-ons) |
| 1 brand, 350 prompts | $495 (Advanced, 350 prompts) | $519 on one engine ($99 + 7 add-ons); $1,359 on three engines ($99 + 21 add-ons) |
- Peec Advanced allows 31,500 AI answers per month, which equals 350 prompts on 3 models tracked daily (350 x 3 x 30). Pro's 13,500 answers cover 100 prompts on 3 models (9,000).
- Semrush's base plan includes 25 prompts, and each add-on gives 50 more for $60 per month. 100 prompts need 2 add-ons ($99 + $120 = $219), and 350 prompts need 7 ($99 + $420 = $519).
- On three engines, Semrush counts 75, 300, and 1,050 prompts of allowance, which need 1, 6, and 21 add-ons and cost $159, $459, and $1,359.
- Semrush One Starter, Pro+, and Advanced list 50, 100, and 200 prompts. We did not price them because their plan prices did not load in our October 29 capture.
Peec AI or Semrush: Which Fits Which Buyer
The cheaper tool changes with the length of the prompt list and the number of engines a team wants each prompt run on.
Choose Peec AI if
- You track 25 to 50 prompts or 350 prompts for one brand. Starter costs $95 for 50 prompts and Advanced costs $495 for 350, against $99 and $519 on Semrush with one engine per prompt.
- You want unlimited team seats. Peec includes them on every plan, while Semrush charges $99 per month for each extra user.

Data Collection and Methodology
Prices and plan details come from each vendor's pricing and help pages as of October 29, 2026. Changelog and press release dates in the recent changes list come from pages captured October 28 and 29, 2026. All prices are list prices in US dollars per month before tax, billed monthly unless the row says otherwise. Semrush's pricing page lists $99 per domain per month billed annually, while its help page lists $99 per month, so the monthly-billing price may differ. A "prompt" is one question the tool asks the AI engines. Peec AI Enterprise and Agency Comprehensive prices are quoted privately. Peec agency plan prices come from our October 28, 2026 capture of its agency pricing page, which did not show prices on October 29. Peec's monthly answer counts follow its own formula of prompts times models times 30 days.
Semrush Enterprise is quoted privately, and the Semrush One bundle prices did not load in our capture, so neither appears in the cost table. Semrush assigns each Prompt Tracking campaign to one engine and does not state how it counts one prompt run on several engines, so we show the one-engine cost and a three-engine cost that treats each engine as its own prompt allowance. We calculated products, differences, and ratios from the published values.
Semrush publishes one AI Visibility Toolkit plan at $99 per domain, prompt add-ons at $60 per 50 prompts, and extra users, domains, or locations at $99 each. Peec AI publishes its own tiers, listed in the matrix above.
