Peec AI alternatives for a small team or on a budget: all three monthly tiers publish the same three models, so paying more buys prompts and projects and never a wider surface

There is one line on Peec AI's pricing page that repeats on every monthly tier, and for a small team it is the line that decides this: choose 3 models. Read on 21 October 2026, Peec publishes Starter with 50 prompts and 1 project, Pro with 150 prompts and 2 projects, and Advanced with 350 prompts and 5 projects, and all three publish a choice of three models. The full list, up to 13 models tracked, sits on the fourth tier, which is annual and priced on request.

So upgrading inside Peec buys you more questions and more projects and never a wider surface. For a large brand that is often fine, because three assistants cover most of its buyers. For a small team it is frequently the opposite, because a small team's buyers are scattered: one asks ChatGPT, one uses Google's AI Overviews because it is simply there, one is a developer who lives in Claude. Three slots mean choosing which of your customers to stop watching.

We sell a tracker here, so our own entry terms are in the table with everybody else's, including the two lines where we come last.

The criterion: does paying more widen the engine list

One criterion, checkable from six pages: how many surfaces does the cheapest buyable plan carry, and does moving up the ladder add more of them. Read 21 October 2026, two agents each, bodies saved.

read 21 Oct 2026	surfaces on the cheapest buyable plan	does climbing the ladder widen it
Peec AI	3 models, chosen from its list	no, not until the annual Enterprise tier, which publishes up to 13
Rankscale	its full published list, including Claude, Gemini, Copilot, DeepSeek and Mistral	it is already the full list on the lowest plan
Depra AI	4 on every plan: ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity	only at the top tier, where other models become add ons
Otterly.AI	4 included, with Claude, Gemini and Google AI Mode as paid add ons	no, the same 4 plus 3 add ons on all four tiers
Scrunch	4: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Copilot	yes, to 9 on Enterprise, adding Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, Google AI Mode and Grok
AI Knows Us, ours	all 5 surfaces we name, with Claude on the plans that carry it	it is the same 5 throughout

On that criterion Rankscale is first, and the reason is simple enough to check in one minute: its lowest monthly plan carries the whole engine list, so the surface question never becomes a tier question. Scrunch has the steepest climb in the set, from four to nine, which makes it the clearest example of the thing to watch for.

Where we lose is cadence and seats. Our plans publish a weekly check with extra checks available any time, and Peec, Depra, Otterly and Profound publish daily on the plan a small team can start on. And Peec publishes unlimited users on all four of its plans, where every plan of ours publishes one login with full access and an exportable tracking log for the rest of the team. For a four person team, Peec is ahead of us on that line and it is not a close call.

Peec publishes the arithmetic, which is the best thing on its page

Buried in Peec's own feature matrix is the clearest unit definition anybody in this category prints. It defines monthly AI answers as tracked prompts multiplied by active models multiplied by tracking frequency, and it puts that definition on the page beside the limits rather than in a help article.

Run it on Starter: 50 prompts, 3 models, daily, is about 4,500 answers a month. Run it on Otterly Lite: 15 prompts, 4 included engines, daily, is about 1,800. Run it on Scrunch Core: 125 prompts and 4 engines would be 15,000 a month except that Core publishes a separate ceiling of 5,000 responses, so the real figure is 5,000 and the prompt count is not the binding limit. Two numbers per vendor, and whichever you reach first is your plan. Vendors publish the pair in different orders, which is why a prompt count on its own compares nothing.

The unit arithmetic that decides which prompt tracker you can use works this sum across more vendors, and that page is one of the 1,068 of ours, 53.7% of the 1,987 in our inventory, that no stored body on this site links to.

What the assistants do with Peec

Our standing dataset is 1,260 readings from ChatGPT and Gemini across the United States, the United Kingdom and India; 718 name at least one tracked vendor, counted once per reading in which the name appears in the answer prose. Peec is named in 181 of those 718, 25.2%. Who else is in those readings is the part worth knowing before you shop.

named in the same reading as Peec	share of the 181 Peec readings	share of all 718	ratio
Otterly	56.4%	29.9%	1.88
Profound	53.6%	28.3%	1.90
Semrush, an Adobe company	45.9%	55.3%	0.83
Ahrefs	27.6%	31.1%	0.89
Scrunch	5.5%	2.5%	2.20

Peec, Otterly and Profound travel together: naming any one of them to an assistant raises the chance of the other two by roughly two thirds to nine tenths, and lowers the chance of Semrush or Ahrefs. So the two names your customers are most likely being shown alongside Peec are Otterly and Profound, which is a reason to read those two pricing pages first regardless of your reason for leaving. Narrowing to the 14 readings naming Peec in a money question, Profound was co named 9 times and Otterly 8. Our own name appeared in none of the 1,260.

Which alternative fits which small team problem

• Three models is not enough. Rankscale includes its whole list on every plan, Depra includes four on every plan, Scrunch climbs from four to nine but only at Enterprise.
• Fifty prompts is not enough. Scrunch Core publishes 125, capped at 5,000 responses a month. Rankscale publishes unlimited search terms metered by credits, which suits a list that grows unevenly.
• One project is not enough. Peec's own ladder answers this, at 2 then 5 then unlimited, so a second brand is a tier rather than a vendor change. Depra publishes 5 pooled client projects on its agency tier with prompts movable between them.
• The team all needs access. Stay for this one. Peec publishes unlimited users on every plan, which is the strongest seat line in this set, and we are the vendor that would lose that comparison.

Questions a small team asks about moving off Peec

How many models does Peec Starter cover?

Three, chosen by you from its list, and the same three count applies on its Pro and Advanced tiers. Its annual Enterprise tier publishes a choice from all models and up to 13 tracked.

Does Peec publish a price?

Not in the document we fetched. Its pricing page publishes tier names, limits and billing terms with no currency figure anywhere in the response, and it publishes a customer count instead, describing itself as trusted by more than 3,500 brands and agencies. Price every comparison from the limits and the quote.

What is Peec's best line for a small team?

Unlimited users on every plan, daily tracking on every plan, and a published definition of its own unit so the bill can be predicted before it arrives. Those three together are a strong entry product and the model count is the thing to check against your own buyers.

Which is the cheapest way to watch five assistants?

Rankscale's lowest monthly plan, which publishes its whole engine list including Claude, Gemini, Copilot, DeepSeek and Mistral and meters by credits rather than by surface. Depra covers four on every plan. Otterly covers four and sells three more as add ons.

Does Peec have an agency route?

Yes, and it runs on a different unit. Its brand page sells prompts and its agency page at peec.ai/pricing-agencies sells credits, at 10,000, 25,000 and 65,000 a month with an unlimited annual tier, with the prompt count derived from the models and frequency you pick. If you manage several brands, price against that ladder rather than against the 1, 2 and 5 project tiers above.
