The Otterly alternative that does more than track.

Otterly.ai is a capable AI search monitor — but Claude and Gemini tracking have been sold as paid add-ons on every plan, every plan meters prompts, and once the dashboard shows a bad ranking, fixing it is your problem. Reputably tracks ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude in every plan, then finds the community threads and reviews that actually move the answer.

3-day free trial · No card required · Nothing to connect.

TL;DR

The short version.

Choose Reputably if…

  • You want ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude tracked in one flat plan — $99/month, no add-ons, no prompt-pack math.
  • You want cited pages, disclosed fan-out searches and AI traffic connected to each visibility result.
  • You want the “so what” handled: Reputably finds buying-intent threads across Reddit, YouTube, Facebook groups and X, drafts your replies, and answers your Google reviews automatically.
  • You're a local business or agency that needs rankings to change, not just a report that they're low.

Stick with Otterly if…

  • You want the cheapest way into AI search monitoring — Otterly's entry tier is one of the most affordable in the category.
  • You need breadth beyond three models: Otterly's base plans track Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Copilot, which Reputably doesn't cover.
  • You report on AI visibility across markets — Otterly tracks 50+ countries with focused, mature AEO reporting.

What Otterly.ai does well.

Otterly earned its place in the AI-search conversation. Its entry tier is one of the cheapest credible ways to start monitoring how AI assistants talk about your brand — and every base plan tracks Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Copilot, a wider spread of engines than most rivals, Reputably included.

The reporting itself is focused and mature: brand mentions and link citations in AI answers, tracked across 50+ countries, presented the way an SEO team expects. If your job is to put an AI-visibility line on a monthly marketing report — across many engines and many markets — Otterly does that job properly. The question this page cares about is what happens after the dashboard loads.

The difference

Tracking tells you where you stand. Reputably moves the number.

Reputably's AI visibility tracking covers ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude in every plan. When a model recommends your competitor instead of you, the prompt result shows visibility, sentiment and position. The evidence views then map cited domains and pages, disclosed fan-out searches, sites surfaced or passed over, and AI crawler or detectable referral traffic when the site tracker is installed.

Reputably also supports the work around the answer. It scans Reddit, YouTube, Facebook groups and X for people asking exactly what you sell, scores every thread for buying intent, and drafts a reply matched to the thread's tone. You post from your own account — Reputably never auto-posts and never asks you to connect one. Each useful reply can win a lead now while adding authentic, discoverable evidence around the business.

The same subscription answers your Google reviews automatically — fully automatic or one-click approve, set per location — because review velocity feeds the same recommendation loop. Agencies get a white-label workspace (logo, colors, custom domain) on the Agency plan. The honest trade-off: Reputably tracks three models, not eight-plus engines. There's no Perplexity, Copilot or AI Overviews tracking, no country-level matrix, and review automation covers Google only today. If you need those, Otterly is the better monitor. If you need the ranking to change, that's the job Reputably was built for — see pricing.

Pricing

Otterly.ai pricing in 2026.

Otterly.ai sells self-serve tiers — billed monthly, or annually at a discount — plus custom Enterprise pricing. The structure matters more than any snapshot of the numbers:

  • Every plan meters prompts — each tier caps how many prompts you can track, and extra prompts are billed on top.
  • Base plans buy the base engines — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Copilot.
  • Claude, Gemini and Google AI Mode have been sold as paid add-ons on every plan — priced by tier, so add-on costs climb with your plan.

Do the math on matching Reputably's coverage. Tracking ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude on Otterly means a base plan plus two add-ons, with add-on pricing that scales with your tier. Reputably's plans are $99, $449 and $799 flat: all three models in every tier, no add-ons, no prompt packs, monthly billing, no contract, and a 3-day free trial with no card. Otterly's caps also meter your visibility — a prompt-capped entry plan is a narrow window on how the models see you — where Reputably's tracking isn't sold by the prompt.
