Data as of August 14, 2026. Next scheduled review: September 14, 2026.
What the evidence supports
- Public entry offers ranged from a $79 month-to-month RadiusRank subscription to managed services starting at $1,597 and $3,500 monthly.
- The lowest sampled self-serve monthly offers were Peec AI at $95 and Profound at $99 monthly billed annually.
- NoGood used custom pricing, so it remains blank in the dataset instead of being treated as free or zero.
- Capacity units include prompts, questions, credits, posts and service outputs and cannot be converted one-for-one.

Shortlist by work that must get done
Monitoring
Choose a self-serve platform when an internal team can operate the data and implement findings.
Focused validation
Choose a cancel-anytime validation subscription when the team wants to prove value before broader implementation.
Managed execution
Choose a service when strategy, content, technical changes and distribution need external ownership.
Methodology
- Reviewed official vendor pages on August 12, 2026.
- Recorded public entry price, native billing basis, capacity unit, engine scope and implementation model.
- Preserved custom and annual-billing notes and did not invent missing prices.
- Published RadiusRank's August 14 offer change separately and left the August 12 CSV untouched.
- Created detailed pages only for vendors already present in the RadiusRank comparison navigation.
Limitations
- The dataset does not test accuracy, user experience, support or business outcomes.
- Enterprise and negotiated terms may differ from public offers.
- RadiusRank is included and has a commercial interest in the category.
Questions
Which AEO tool is best?
There is no universal winner. Match the delivery model, collection method, engine and market coverage, implementation ownership and evidence access to the team's actual workflow.
Why not rank vendors with one score?
A single score hides incompatible operating models and subjective weights. Every field is shown separately so buyers can apply their own requirements.
