Otterly.AI
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.
Otterly.AI (Austria, bootstrapped) is the SMB and agency entry point: Lite at $29 month-to-month or $25 annual for 15 prompts across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot, Standard at $189/$160 for 100 prompts with a public REST API and MCP (2,000 requests a month), Premium at $489/$422 for 400 prompts. Claude ($29–439 by tier), Google AI Mode and Gemini ($9–149 each) are paid add-ons, so full coverage gets expensive.
It offers citation tracking, sentiment, competitor share, GEO URL audits and agent analytics, and launched a Claude Skill and a 101-workflow marketplace in June 2026. All subscriptions are on a monthly basis, cancel anytime. It is a very small team, a continuity consideration against funded rivals. No Trustpilot reviews; G2 4.7–4.8.

*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.
