What it costs to check weekly
Say you track 15 questions on ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude once a week. That's about 195 checks a month, which costs $16 a month with the Starter pack, or $10 with the Pro pack. With no monthly fee, a quiet month costs nothing.
Covering the same three assistants elsewhere starts at $67 per month (Otterly.AI Lite plus its Gemini and Claude add-ons) and goes up to $295 per month (AthenaHQ Starter). Peec AI and Profound only offer Claude on custom enterprise plans.
Where MentionReach wins
- No subscription. Buy credits once and use them when you need them. Nothing renews.
- Credits never expire. Skip a month and you lose nothing.
- Claude included. All three assistants come with every pack, not as an add-on or an enterprise upgrade.
- Built for apps and websites. Paste an App Store, Google Play or website link and get a product profile, suggested questions, competitors and concrete fixes.
- Free start with no clock. 20 free checks, no card and no trial that runs out.
When another tool fits better
If you need daily tracking of hundreds of prompts, engines beyond ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude (such as Perplexity, Copilot or Google AI Overviews), or enterprise features like SSO and agency workspaces, a subscription tool is likely a better fit and can be cheaper per answer at that volume. See how to track brand mentions in AI assistants for a wider look at the options.

FAQ
What is the cheapest way to track whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude recommend my app?
MentionReach starts at $24 one-time for 300 checks, with all three assistants included and no subscription. New accounts get 20 free checks. Among the tools compared here, the next cheapest way to cover all three is Otterly.AI Lite with Gemini and Claude add-ons at $67 per month (as of October 28, 2026).
Is MentionReach cheaper than Otterly.AI or Peec AI?
For occasional or weekly checks, yes: there is no monthly fee, so you only pay for scans you run. If you need hundreds of prompts tracked every day, a daily subscription can cost less per answer: Otterly.AI Lite works out to about $0.016 and Peec AI Starter about $0.021 per answer, versus $0.053 to $0.080 per check on MentionReach.
Do MentionReach credits expire?
No. Credit packs are one-time purchases and purchased credits never expire while your account exists. Competitors in this comparison bill monthly or annually, so unused capacity resets each period.
Which tool should an enterprise brand choose?
If you need many engines (Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews), SOC 2 paperwork, many seats or agency workspaces, Profound, AthenaHQ or Peec AI fit better. MentionReach focuses on ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude for indie app and website makers.
