02

The price that matters is per product covered

Two plans at a similar price can cover very different parts of a catalog. Worked example: a store with 500 products.

$6.00

per tracked product on a $120, 20-product plan.

480 of 500 products not tracked$120 ÷ 20
$0.20

per product on a $99 plan that includes every product.

On the questions you track$99 ÷ 500

Prompt-based plans aren't counted per product. Ask how many of your products their prompts actually reach.

Depends on your promptsOtterly.AI, Peec AI

Read it fairly

A product cap is fine if you only care about best sellers. A question cap matters if you compete on many different buyer questions. Pick the unit that matches how your catalog sells.

03

Three questions to ask about any AEO price

The headline number rarely tells you what you get.

What does the plan count?

Products, prompts, page credits or questions. That unit decides how much you see.

Which assistants are included?

Some plans cover one assistant and charge for more. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google often name different products.

How often is it measured?

AI answers change from day to day. A monthly check and a daily check are different products.
