The buying question this page answers: Do you need AI-search (GEO) visibility tracking yet, and which entry plan actually includes it?
Monitoring how a site shows up in AI chat answers is a new line on SEO pricing pages, and entry plans treat it very differently. This page records what each official page says about prompt tracking, where the vendor's own pages disagree, and how each tool lets you try it before paying.

Who it fits
Mangools (KWFinder suite)
- Bloggers curious about AI answers who do not want a separate add-on: the Mangools Basic bundle as shown on the pricing page includes AI Search Watcher PRO with 500 prompts monitored and unlimited monitors.[1]
SE Ranking
- Marketers who want daily prompt data across several AI assistants: SE Ranking Core lists 100 prompts tracked daily, 5 LLMs to track and 5 domains in GEO research.[5]
Semrush (SEO Toolkit)
- Teams whose priority is still classic search rankings rather than AI answers, and who are content to leave AI visibility tracking for a later upgrade.
When not to buy
Mangools (KWFinder suite)
- Not a fit if you want to trial the paid features first: no free trial of paid plans is stated, only a Free plan without a credit card and a 48-hour money back guarantee on paid plans.[4]
SE Ranking
- If AI answers are not yet a traffic source you watch, the GEO quotas on Core add little to the choice; judge the plan on rank tracking and research instead.
Semrush (SEO Toolkit)
- Not the entry plan to buy specifically for AI-search tracking as the pricing page presents it: the SEO plan card shows AI search tracking, AI sentiment monitoring, AI visibility reports and custom prompt monitoring with a cross icon, and lists 50 daily prompts on the Starter plan instead.[6]
Key differences
General
- Prompt tracking is listed as included in the Mangools Basic bundle and on SE Ranking Core, while the Semrush pricing card places it on Starter rather than on the SEO plan.[1][5][6]
- Ways to try before paying differ: SE Ranking offers a 14-day free trial without a credit card, Semrush a 7-day free trial plus a Free plan with 1 demo project and 10 reports per day, and Mangools a Free plan plus a 48-hour money back guarantee on paid plans.[5][6][4]
Limitations
Mangools (KWFinder suite)
- The Mangools price is deliberately left out: the official pricing page served region-dependent prices, so any figure quoted here might not match the one you are offered.
SE Ranking
- AI tracking during the SE Ranking trial is smaller than on Core: the trial includes 20 AI prompts per day and AI competitive research for up to 3 domains.[5]
Semrush (SEO Toolkit)
- Semrush's own pages disagree here: the pricing card marks AI search features as not included on the SEO plan, while a Semrush knowledge-base article describes the SEO plan as including AI search performance tracking, sentiment monitoring and visibility reports without a prompt quota. Confirm with Semrush before relying on either.
