Semrush alternatives.
Which one fits your team?

Trovance makes a competing product, so this is our comparison, not an independent review.

Semrush tracks your own prompts daily on ChatGPT Search, Google AI Mode and Gemini, adds Perplexity in weekly Brand Performance reports, and sits beside its SEO Toolkit in Semrush One. Teams that look elsewhere usually want Claude or Copilot checked too, Perplexity on the same daily schedule as the rest, or the content drafted for them.

  1. 01

    Your prompts on Google, ChatGPT and Gemini

  2. 02

    One domain and 25 prompts for $99

    The AI Visibility Toolkit on its own is $99 a month per domain, with 25 custom prompts tracked daily. Semrush One adds the SEO Toolkit from $199 a month.

  3. 03

    Your team writes the content

    Semrush gives Brand Performance recommendations, suggested actions for each cited source and an AI-ready site audit. Creating the content stays with your team.

The alternatives, by what you need.

When to stay with Semrush.

  • Your team already works in Semrush for SEO, or wants SEO and AI visibility on one login and one bill.
  • You want to benchmark any domain against a large prompt database as well as track your own prompts.
  • You need AI tracking for one domain and 25 prompts: the standalone toolkit is $99 a month.
  • You want your own prompts tracked every day.

How to choose

Put the same buyer questions to each tool you shortlist, on the engines your buyers use, and compare what each keeps from the answers and what it helps you do next.

A few good questions.

Which Semrush alternatives track Claude or Copilot?

Ahrefs Brand Radar can track your prompts on seven platforms, Claude and Copilot among them. Otterly.AI includes Copilot on every plan, with Claude as an add-on; Peec AI offers Copilot among the three models you choose, with Claude on Enterprise; and Trovance checks Claude on Growth and Agency. Profound, Goodie and Scrunch cover more engines on higher plans; check their lists.

Which alternatives cost about the same as the AI Visibility Toolkit?

Otterly.AI starts at $29 a month, Peec AI at $95, and Trovance Starter is $99; Ahrefs Brand Radar’s custom prompt packages start at $50. Semrush’s toolkit is $99 a month per domain. Engines, prompts and what happens after the answer differ, so compare those too.

Which alternatives draft the content, not just the report?

AirOps, Jasper and Trovance produce content. AirOps runs configurable agents with human review, Jasper’s GEO agents work on its Business plan, and Trovance drafts each item in its ranked queue in your voice for a person to approve. Semrush recommends; your team writes.

Is Trovance a Semrush alternative?

If you want the gaps drafted as well as tracked, yes: Trovance checks your buyer questions weekly and drafts each item in its queue for a person to approve, from $99 a month. If you want your prompts tracked daily beside your SEO data, on one login and one bill, Semrush fits better.
