Peec AI alternative: ShownInAI vs Peec AI

The short answer

Choose Peec AI if you have an SEO or content team that will log in most days, read the data and do the content work itself. Its pricing page lists Starter at $95 a month for 50 prompts tracked daily on 3 AI models, Pro at $245 a month for 150 prompts and Advanced at $495 a month for 350 prompts, with unlimited users on every plan.

Choose ShownInAI if you are a founder, a small SaaS team or an agency with small clients, and nobody has time to turn a dashboard into pages. For $9 in the first month we check 10 real buyer questions, show which competitors AI names instead of you and which sources it trusts, and write the 3 pages most likely to get you named. After that it is $29 a month, with 3 new pages every month. If AI answers still do not name you within 60 days, you get everything you paid back.

These tools solve different problems. Peec AI is an analytics platform with a lot of depth. ShownInAI measures less, less often, and spends the effort on writing the pages. The rest of this page covers prices, features and the cases where each one is the better buy.

Pricing, side by side

Peec AI publishes three self-serve brand plans and a custom Enterprise plan. Starter is $95 a month with 50 prompts, 3 chosen AI models, daily tracking, 1 project and unlimited users. Pro is $245 a month with 150 prompts and 2 projects. Advanced is $495 a month with 350 prompts, 5 projects, multi-country tracking and a Looker Studio integration. Enterprise is custom and annual, adding API access, single sign-on, unlimited projects and up to 13 AI models. Extra models are a paid add-on priced by plan, and annual billing takes 15% off. These are the monthly-billing prices the page showed us in US dollars.

Peec AI also has separate agency pricing, based on credits rather than prompts: Essential at $245 a month (10,000 credits), Growth at $495 a month (25,000 credits, described as for agencies managing 3 to 10 clients), Scale at $795 a month (65,000 credits, for 11 to 25+ clients) and a custom Comprehensive plan.

ShownInAI has one plan for a single brand. Starter is $9 for the first month, then $29 a month, and includes the scan, 3 written pages, 3 new pages every month and tracking every 14 days. The Agency plan is $99 a month for up to 10 client sites with white-label PDF reports. If you only want to see where you stand, the $49 AI Visibility Report is a one-time purchase.

Put simply: after the first month, ShownInAI costs $29 a month and Peec AI's cheapest plan costs $95. The extra $66 buys a lot more measurement (50 prompts instead of 10, daily instead of every 14 days, more analysis features). It does not buy written pages.

What Peec AI does better

• Much more data. 50 prompts on Starter and up to 350 on Advanced, tracked every day, compared with 10 buyer questions every 14 days on ShownInAI.
• Model choice and coverage. You pick 3 AI models on self-serve plans, can add more as paid add-ons, and Enterprise covers up to 13.
• Deeper analysis. Its pricing page lists source analytics with citation share and source classification, gap analysis by domain and URL, brand perception and fact-checking of claims about your brand, AI shopping and product-level tracking, and an ads library of sponsored placements in AI answers.
• Traffic and crawler data. It lists AI referral tracking, crawl insights on which AI bots fetch which pages, and a robots.txt crawlability audit, with integrations for common CDNs and Google Analytics.
• Team and reporting features: unlimited users on every plan, shareable dashboards, a Data Studio connector, CSV exports, plus API and MCP access.
• A free trial, so you can see the product before paying.

What ShownInAI does better

• It writes the pages. Knowing that a competitor's comparison page shapes the answer is only half the job. Someone still has to write your comparison page, your alternatives page and the answer pages buyers' questions need. ShownInAI writes 3 publish-ready pages straight after payment, with FAQ schema, and 3 new ones every month.
• It costs far less. $9 for the first month and $29 a month after that, against $95 a month for Peec AI's entry plan. The $49 report needs no subscription at all.
• It puts money on the result. If AI answers still do not name you within 60 days, we refund everything you have paid. If the first month is not useful, email us within 7 days and we refund the $9.
• It is cheaper for agencies with many small clients. $99 a month covers 10 client sites with white-label PDF reports, about $10 a client. Peec AI's agency plans start at $245 a month.
• It is quick to start. Give us your website address and the scan runs in about a minute. There is nothing to configure, no prompt list to build and nothing to install.

Why the written pages matter

We ran unbranded buyer questions such as "best [category]", "[competitor] alternatives" and "X vs Y" through AI search for 50 software brands. 39 of the 50 were never named in any answer to their own category's buyer questions, and all 30 brands that had launched in the previous month scored 0.

The sources explain why. In 33 of the 50 cases, the most cited source was a competitor's own website: its comparison pages, docs and help centre. Review sites were the top source for only 6 of 50 brands. The pages that decide who gets recommended are mostly pages companies wrote about themselves and their rivals.

So for a brand at zero, more data rarely changes the answer. A detailed dashboard will confirm that you are missing and show which rival pages are being quoted. What changes the answer is a page of your own that answers the same buyer question clearly and honestly. Peec AI is very good at the first part. ShownInAI is built around the second: we write the pages AI needs to name you.

Which one fits you

1. 01Solo founder or small SaaS team with no content person: ShownInAI Starter. $9 to start, pages written for you, and a 60-day guarantee if it does not work.
2. 02SEO or content team that already publishes every week and wants daily data on 50 or more prompts: Peec AI Starter or Pro. You do the writing, and its data tells you where to aim.
3. 03Larger brand tracking hundreds of prompts across countries, products or sub-brands: Peec AI Advanced or Enterprise. ShownInAI does not try to compete at that scale.
4. 04Agency selling AI visibility to many small clients: ShownInAI Agency at $99 a month for 10 sites, white-labelled. Agencies that need daily, multi-model data for a few large clients may prefer Peec AI's agency plans.
5. 05Not sure yet: buy the $49 ShownInAI report, or start Peec AI's free trial, and see what your own buyer questions return before committing.

Can you use both?

Yes. Nothing in either tool locks you in. A well-funded team might use Peec AI for daily monitoring of a large prompt set and ShownInAI to get pages written every month. A team watching costs usually needs one, and the deciding question is simple: is your problem a lack of data, or a lack of pages?

How to switch from Peec AI to ShownInAI

1. 01Export your prompts and the competitors and sources Peec AI shows being cited instead of you (it supports CSV exports).
2. 02Start ShownInAI for $9 with your website address. The scan runs straight after payment and takes about a minute.
3. 03Compare our competitors and sources with your Peec AI data. They are usually similar, because both tools read real AI answers.
4. 04Publish the 3 pages we write on your own site, then link to them from your pricing page, docs or blog so they are easy to find.
5. 05Keep Peec AI if you still want daily data, or cancel it once the pages are live and our 14-day checks are enough for you.
