Key takeaways
- Searchable launched in late 2025 with strong funding but its Starter plan (1 domain, 50 prompts, $50/mo) is the most restrictive entry tier in the AI visibility category -- a real problem for agencies managing multiple clients
- Most Searchable alternatives covered here offer more prompts, more AI platforms monitored, and better multi-client features at the same or lower price
- The biggest gap in Searchable -- and most monitoring-only tools -- is the lack of content creation and optimization capabilities; agencies need tools that help them fix visibility problems, not just report on them
- For agencies that want to go beyond tracking and actually improve AI visibility for clients, Promptwatch is the only platform in this list that closes the full loop from gap analysis to content generation to traffic attribution
Searchable had a genuinely impressive launch. Six figures in ARR within 24 hours of a soft launch, a $4M seed round, and a founding team with real credentials. That's not nothing.
But for agencies managing five, ten, or twenty clients? The product has some real friction points right now. One domain on the Starter plan. Fifty prompts. No documented case studies. No G2 presence. And $50/mo for that entry tier is hard to justify when competitors offer more for less.
This guide covers the 7 best Searchable alternatives for agencies in 2026 -- tools with stronger multi-client support, better pricing structures, and in several cases, capabilities that go well beyond what Searchable currently offers.
What agencies actually need from an AI visibility tool
Before getting into the list, it's worth being clear about what separates a good agency tool from a good individual tool. They're not the same thing.
Agencies need:
- Multiple domains or client workspaces without paying enterprise prices
- White-label or client-facing reporting
- Enough prompt volume to cover multiple industries and client use cases
- Coverage across the AI platforms their clients' customers actually use (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, etc.)
- Ideally, some way to act on the data -- not just report it
That last point is where most tools fall short. Monitoring dashboards are fine. But when a client asks "so what do we do about this?", you need an answer that isn't "we'll keep watching."

1. Promptwatch -- best for agencies that want to fix visibility, not just track it
Most AI visibility tools show you a dashboard. Promptwatch shows you a dashboard and then helps you do something about what you see.
That's the core difference. The Answer Gap Analysis identifies exactly which prompts competitors rank for that your client doesn't. The built-in AI writing agent then generates articles, listicles, and comparisons grounded in real citation data -- content engineered to get cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others. Then page-level tracking shows whether it worked.
For agencies, this matters because clients don't pay for reports. They pay for results. Being able to say "we found these gaps, we created this content, and here's how your AI visibility improved" is a fundamentally different conversation than "here's your share of voice score."
The Professional plan at $249/mo covers 2 sites, 150 prompts, 15 articles, and adds crawler logs (real-time logs of AI crawlers hitting your client's site) and state/city-level tracking. The Business plan at $579/mo handles 5 sites and 350 prompts. Agency and enterprise pricing is available for larger portfolios.
The platform monitors 10+ AI models including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Google AI Overviews, and more. Reddit and YouTube tracking surface discussions that directly influence AI recommendations -- a channel most competitors ignore entirely. ChatGPT Shopping tracking is also available, which matters for e-commerce clients.
Promptwatch is used by 6,700+ brands and agencies including Booking.com and Center Parcs.
2. Otterly.AI -- best for agencies on a tight budget
At $29/mo, Otterly.AI is the most affordable credentialed option in this space. It earned Gartner Cool Vendor 2025 recognition and G2 High Performer status -- validation that Searchable, launched just months ago, hasn't had time to accumulate.
The GEO Audit feature is a genuine differentiator: it gives you a structured assessment of where a site stands in AI search, which is useful for agency new business conversations. "Here's your current AI visibility score and here's what we'd fix" is a clean pitch.
The limitation is that Otterly.AI is a monitoring tool. It shows you data. It doesn't help you act on it. For agencies that have their own content production workflow and just need the intelligence layer, that's fine. For agencies that want an end-to-end solution, it falls short.
3. Profound -- best for enterprise clients with complex needs
Profound is the G2 Winter 2026 Leader in AI visibility and monitors 10 AI platforms. If you're managing enterprise clients who want depth -- prompt volume data, competitive benchmarking, detailed source analysis -- Profound is a serious option.
Starting at $99/mo, it's priced comparably to Promptwatch's Essential tier but without the content generation capabilities. The trade-off is breadth of data: Profound goes deep on analytics and is well-suited to clients who have large internal teams to act on the insights.
For agencies managing mid-market or enterprise clients who are already producing content and just need the visibility intelligence, Profound works well. For agencies that need to produce deliverables from the data, the lack of built-in content tools is a gap.
4. Peec AI -- best for agencies with global or multilingual clients
115+ languages. That's the headline for Peec AI, and for agencies with international clients, it's a meaningful differentiator. Most AI visibility tools are English-first with limited language support bolted on. Peec AI was built with global coverage in mind.
At $85/mo, it's reasonably priced for the language coverage it offers. There are documented enterprise outcomes for global brands, which gives it credibility that Searchable's newer platform can't yet match.
The limitation is the same as most tools in this category: it's a monitoring platform. You get visibility data; you don't get help creating content to improve that visibility. But if your agency serves clients in multiple markets and you need accurate AI visibility data across languages, Peec AI is one of the few tools that can actually deliver it.
5. Airefs -- best for cost-sensitive agencies
Airefs at $24/mo undercuts Searchable's $50/mo Starter by more than half. For agencies managing many small clients where per-client tool costs need to stay low, that pricing math matters.
Beyond price, Airefs adds Reddit monitoring -- a channel that directly influences AI recommendations and one that Searchable doesn't currently offer. Knowing which Reddit threads are shaping AI responses in a client's category is genuinely useful intelligence.
It's a newer platform, so the feature set is still developing. But for agencies that need affordable, multi-client AI visibility tracking with Reddit coverage, it's worth evaluating.
6. AgencyAnalytics -- best for reporting-heavy agencies
AgencyAnalytics isn't primarily an AI visibility tool -- it's a client reporting platform that has been adding AI search tracking capabilities. If your agency's primary need is automated, white-label client reports that pull together SEO, social, PPC, and AI visibility data in one place, AgencyAnalytics is hard to beat.
At $12/mo per client, the pricing scales cleanly with your client roster. The platform handles unlimited client accounts and generates branded reports that you can send directly to clients. The AI visibility features are less deep than dedicated tools, but for agencies where reporting efficiency is the bottleneck, the trade-off is often worth it.
7. Cairrot -- best for agencies wanting affordable multi-client AI tracking
Cairrot is built specifically for agencies managing multiple clients who need AI visibility tracking without paying enterprise prices. It covers 5+ LLMs and is designed with multi-client workflows in mind from the start.
It's a newer entrant in the space, so the feature set is still maturing. But the agency-first positioning means things like client workspaces and multi-domain management are handled more thoughtfully than tools that added agency features as an afterthought.
How to choose the right tool for your agency
The honest answer is that the right choice depends on what your agency actually sells.
If you sell AI visibility as a managed service -- meaning you're responsible for improving clients' AI search presence, not just reporting on it -- you need a tool that helps you take action. Monitoring data alone doesn't justify a retainer. In that case, Promptwatch's content generation and gap analysis capabilities are worth the higher price point because they let you produce deliverables, not just dashboards.
If you sell reporting and strategy, and clients have their own teams to execute, a monitoring-focused tool like Otterly.AI or Profound may be sufficient. You provide the intelligence; they act on it.
If you have global clients, Peec AI's language coverage is genuinely hard to replicate elsewhere.
If cost per client is the primary constraint, Airefs at $24/mo or AgencyAnalytics at $12/mo per client are the most defensible options.
One thing worth noting: the AI visibility category is moving fast. Tools that were monitoring-only six months ago are adding content features. Pricing is shifting. The comparison table above reflects the current state, but it's worth checking each tool's current pricing and feature set before committing.
The gap most agencies miss
Here's the thing about AI visibility tools that doesn't get talked about enough: showing a client their share of voice score is not a service. It's a number. The service is what you do with it.
The agencies getting the most traction with AI visibility as an offering are the ones who can say: "Here are the 12 prompts your competitors rank for that you don't. Here's the content we're creating to close those gaps. Here's how your visibility has improved over the past 90 days."
That's a story. That's a retainer justification. And it requires a tool that goes beyond tracking -- one that helps you find gaps, create content, and measure results.
Most tools in this list handle the tracking part well. Promptwatch is currently the only one that handles all three stages in a single platform, which is why it's the top recommendation for agencies that want to build AI visibility as a core service offering rather than a reporting add-on.
