> SEO tools plus generative and answer engine optimization tracking.

- Last updated: 2026-09-22

## Ranking

Ranked by Saaskly's editorial score (0–5). Ties share a rank. Method: https://saaskly.com/editorial-policy.md

1. **=1. [Ahrefs](https://saaskly.com/category/seo-geo-aeo/ahrefs.md)**: 4.4/5. The best SEO data in the business, undermined only by a credit meter and an AI-visibility add-on priced like a second product.
2. **=1. [Geogen](https://saaskly.com/category/seo-geo-aeo/geogen.md)**: 4.4/5. EU-built, pure-play AI-search visibility tracker: the widest model coverage (including Claude), daily checks, and a full REST API plus MCP server from €20 a month.
3. **3. [Screaming Frog SEO Spider](https://saaskly.com/category/seo-geo-aeo/screaming-frog.md)**: 4.1/5. The technical-SEO crawler everyone actually uses, a UK desktop tool at £199 a year, now with LLM content analysis and an official MCP server.
4. **4. [SE Ranking](https://saaskly.com/category/seo-geo-aeo/se-ranking.md)**: 4.0/5. The value all-in-one: GBP pricing, API included on every plan, the cheapest AI-search add-on per prompt, and the best Trustpilot score of the SEO suites.
5. **5. [Peec AI](https://saaskly.com/category/seo-geo-aeo/peec-ai.md)**: 3.9/5. Berlin’s self-serve AI-search analytics dashboard: EU-hosted data, six engines including AI Mode and Copilot, MCP on every paid plan; REST API only on Enterprise.
6. **6. [SISTRIX](https://saaskly.com/category/seo-geo-aeo/sistrix.md)**: 3.8/5. The European SEO toolbox: Visibility Index, real UK/EU country indexes, EUR billing, monthly cancellation, and AI Overview + prompt tracking included on every plan.
7. **7. [Otterly.AI](https://saaskly.com/category/seo-geo-aeo/otterly-ai.md)**: 3.7/5. The cheapest way into AI-search monitoring: $29 a month, no lock-in, unlimited seats, and a public API + MCP from the $189 tier; Claude and Gemini cost extra.
8. **8. [Similarweb](https://saaskly.com/category/seo-geo-aeo/similarweb.md)**: 3.5/5. Competitive-intelligence first, SEO second: the best competitor-traffic and AI-referral data here, with an official MCP server, behind quote-only pricing.
9. **9. [Semrush](https://saaskly.com/category/seo-geo-aeo/semrush.md)**: 3.4/5. The broadest marketing suite on the market, with a cheap AI Visibility toolkit, sold in USD only, with the worst billing reputation in this comparison.
10. **10. [Profound](https://saaskly.com/category/seo-geo-aeo/profound.md)**: 3.3/5. The enterprise AEO platform ($1bn valuation, the broadest engine coverage and agentic content execution), but self-serve tiers are deliberately thin and data is hosted in the US.
11. **11. [Moz Pro](https://saaskly.com/category/seo-geo-aeo/moz-pro.md)**: 3.2/5. The original SEO suite and home of Domain Authority: cheapest entry of the suites, but small limits, USD-only pricing and a poor billing reputation.

*How we calculate minimum commitment. Headline per-user prices hide the real cost of trying a platform. Total cost of ownership is licence × seats × term, plus usage, add-ons, setup fees and any early-exit charges. Our "minimum commitment" figure is the floor of that: the entry plan's committed rate × the minimum seats the vendor will sell × the months you must commit to (one month at the month-to-month rate where there is no commitment; the licence price where it is sold per year). It deliberately excludes usage, add-ons and prerequisite licences, so your real first bill will be higher, but never lower than this.
