Generative engine optimization (GEO) tooling splits into three classes: monitoring dashboards that report your visibility in AI answers, agencies that fix it with human hours, and execution agents that do both — scan, ship fixes, and prove the change. Here is the 2026 landscape:
| Option | Price (2026) | What it does | Ships fixes? | Proves lift? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Otterly | $29–489/mo | Entry AI visibility monitoring + audit recommendations | ✗ reports only | tracks scores | First look at AI visibility on a budget |
| Peec AI | €89–199/mo | Mid-market AI search analytics, competitor tracking | ✗ reports only | tracks scores | Marketing teams that want dashboards and will do fixes in-house |
| Profound | $99–499+/mo, enterprise custom | Enterprise AI visibility intelligence — deepest analytics in the category | ✗ reports only | tracks scores | Enterprises with an in-house SEO/content team to act on the data |
| GEO agencies | $3,000–18,000/mo | Humans do audits, content, schema, outreach | ✓ humans | rarely measured | Brands wanting hands-on strategy + PR, with budget |
| COPUGEO | $299/mo Monitor · $999/mo Operator | Agent scans visibility, generates AND ships the fixes, re-scores weekly | ✓ the agent | ✓ weekly receipts | Brands that want the fixing done and proven, at software price |
Dashboards tell you you're invisible. COPUGEO makes you visible — and shows the receipts. Every recommendation COPUGEO makes is re-scored by the next weekly scan, so "it worked" is a number, not a promise. See it applied to our own brand in the Copute case study.
Profound is an enterprise AI visibility intelligence platform — it monitors and analyzes how AI engines talk about a brand, with the strongest analytics in the category. COPUGEO is an execution agent: it also scans and scores visibility, but then generates and ships the fixes (llms.txt, schema, comparison pages, canonical descriptions) and re-scores them weekly. Profound tells you where you stand; COPUGEO changes where you stand.
For most brands, yes at the execution level: agencies charge roughly $3,000–18,000/month for humans to do GEO fixes, usually without measurable proof. COPUGEO does the same class of work at $999/month, with every fix re-scored by the next weekly scan. Agencies still make sense for brands needing hands-on PR and bespoke strategy on top.
Otterly is the cheapest monitoring entry point (from ~$29/month). Peec AI is mid-market (~€89–199/month). Profound serves enterprises. COPUGEO Monitor is $299/month; Operator — the tier that executes — is $999/month at founding prices.
