Claude
What Claude adds to the bill
Claude is the engine buyers most often find missing from entry plans. Collecting a Claude answer with web search uses more compute than a ChatGPT or Google answer, so vendors either charge more credits for it, sell it as an add-on, or keep it for higher plans.
How a tool collects Claude matters as much as the price. An answer from the model API, especially without web search, can differ from what a buyer sees in the Claude app.
| Tool | Cheapest plan | Cheapest way to track Claude | How Claude is collected | What a Claude answer costs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RankScale | $17 · Essentials | Included on the cheapest plan | Model API with web search | 12× a ChatGPT answer |
| OtterlyAI | $29 · Lite | $58 · Lite + add-on | Model API with web search | Paid add-on |
| Qwairy | $89 · Starter | Included on the cheapest plan | From the Claude app (beta) | Same as a ChatGPT answer |

Questions buyers ask
What is the cheapest AI visibility tracking tool?
RankScale Essentials at $17 a month is the lowest published entry price among the monitoring tools we list. Check its prompt limit and engines: the cheapest plan is rarely the cheapest per answer.
Which AEO tools include Claude on their cheapest plan?
AthenaHQ, RankScale, Promptwatch, Qwairy. Several collect Claude through the model API rather than the Claude app, which can produce different answers from what users see.
What is the cheapest way to track Claude?
RankScale Essentials, at $17 a month. Collection method: model api with web search.
Why do AEO tools charge more for Claude?
Collecting a Claude answer with web search uses more compute than a ChatGPT or Google answer, and vendors pass that on: some charge more credits per Claude answer, some sell Claude as an add-on, and some hold it for enterprise plans.
How should I compare AEO tool prices?
Start from your workload: how many prompts, which engines, and how often they run. Then compare the cheapest plan that covers all three, and the cost per 1,000 answers it collects. Entry prices alone hide prompt limits, engine add-ons and annual billing commitments.
How we priced these plans
Each plan is listed as the vendor publishes it, checked against its pricing page, plan comparison and help center on the date shown. Annual-only prices appear as the monthly equivalent and are marked. An engine counts only when the plan includes it; paid add-ons and beta collection are marked separately.
The calculator assumes a 30-day month for daily runs and four runs a month for weekly runs. Plans with a fixed schedule use their own schedule. Euro prices are ranked at the ECB reference rate of 1.1225 dollars per euro (2026-10-19) and shown in euros.
Prices exclude tax and any media spend. Where a vendor does not publish a price, allowance or collection method, we say so rather than estimate it. Sales quotes are not included.
We earn affiliate commissions from some tools listed here. Commissions do not change prices, rankings or which plans we show. Our methodology.
