The AI Visibility Toolkit is the better fit when:
- You want AI visibility next to a full SEO suite. The toolkit is part of Semrush and comes with Semrush One, which has a 7-day trial.

- You want daily prompt tracking: Prompt Tracking runs every day and covers 220+ countries.
When to choose SeeRanked

- You want answers as a signed-in user gets them. Paid plans run real, signed-in browser sessions on all 5 platforms.
- You want Claude, Grok and Perplexity in every report. All 5 platforms come with every plan. Claude and Grok aren't among the platforms Semrush's help pages list, and Perplexity is in Brand Performance only.
- You want to start free. The Free plan has 1 campaign, 1 city and 3 prompts, and needs no card.

Frequently asked questions
Is SeeRanked cheaper than Semrush's AI Visibility Toolkit?
SeeRanked Starter is $79 a month and the toolkit is $99 a month per domain. But the plans measure different things: The toolkit's $99 plan tracks 25 prompts for one domain, by country, every day. SeeRanked Starter checks 10 prompts in 3 cities on all 5 platforms, refreshed every month. If you already pay for Semrush One, the toolkit is included. Compare them on what you need to track.
Does Semrush track Google AI Overviews?
Yes, along with AI Mode. SeeRanked doesn't track them; it covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok and Perplexity.
Can I see AI results for a specific city?
In both, in different ways: Semrush's Brand Performance reports cover 68,000+ locations, including cities. Its Prompt Tracking sets the location by country (220+ countries). SeeRanked asks the questions you add to your campaign in each city you serve, and every report shows the results city by city.
What does "logged-in mode" mean?
It means the AI is asked while signed in to an account, as a signed-in user would ask it. SeeRanked's paid plans run signed-in browser sessions. Semrush says it sends real requests, "not via any APIs of LLMs", but doesn't say whether it asks signed in or signed out.
Can I try either tool for free?
SeeRanked has a free plan: 1 campaign, 1 city and 3 prompts, built from API results, with no card. Semrush has a free plan with basic checks. The toolkit itself has no trial, but Semrush One has a 7-day trial.
Which AI platforms does each tool cover?
SeeRanked: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok and Perplexity on every plan. Semrush: ChatGPT (search), Gemini, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, with Perplexity in Brand Performance only. Semrush's help pages disagree on which of these Prompt Tracking covers.
