Short answer

The short answer

Otterly.AI fits solo marketers, small companies and agencies that want low-cost daily AI search monitoring and will make the changes themselves. Look elsewhere by the job: Knowatoa if you want drafting agents for each gap, Peec AI for deeper daily analytics, Rankscale for many engines on credits, the Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit if you already use Semrush, and Eli (ours) if you want the work on your website, conversions and Meta ads done for you.

The alternatives

Otterly.AI alternatives, by the work you want done

The alternatives are listed alphabetically, and Eli, which makes this page, is listed last. The order is not a ranking.

Knowatoa

Fits when: You want buyer questions generated and drafting agents for each gap, and you approve and ship the content.

Does by itself: Generates likely buyer questions, tracks AI answers, citations and sentiment, sends a weekly digest, and its agents draft, research or check content per gap.

You still: 'You approve and ship' the content.

Not a fit when: You want the content published for you.

Peec AI

Fits when: You want daily analytics with model choice and ranked recommended actions.

Does by itself: Runs your prompts daily on chosen AI models and reports visibility, position, sentiment, sources, gaps and ranked recommended actions; a Peec agent generates actions from the data.

You still: Choose prompts and models, then create the content, PR and site changes yourself.

Not a fit when: You want the work done for you; plans stop at recommendations and generated actions.

Entry price: Starter €85/mo, Pro €205/mo, Advanced €425/mo (monthly billing; 15% off annual); Enterprise custom, annual. Source

Rankscale

Fits when: You want credit-based tracking across many AI engines, including sponsored answers.

Does by itself: Queries AI engines on your search terms on a schedule, reports visibility, citations, sentiment, shopping and sponsored ads, audits pages, and gives AI 'Scout' recommendations.

You still: Make the changes yourself.

Not a fit when: You want work done; it is a tracker.

Entry price: Pro $99/month, Pro+ $229, Growth $385, Enterprise $780 (monthly; 15% off yearly); shown as €99/€229/€385/€780 to a European visitor. An 'Essentials' plan is listed as yearly only without a price on the card. Source

Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit

Fits when: You already use Semrush and want AI visibility in the same account.

Does by itself: Benchmarks brand visibility and sentiment in AI answers, prompt research, daily tracking of custom prompts, and an AI-readiness site audit with AI-generated strategy recommendations.

You still: Do all content, technical and PR work yourself.

Not a fit when: You need more than 25 tracked prompts on the base toolkit or want execution.

Entry price: AI Visibility toolkit $99 per month per domain (Knowledge Base); pricing page showed Base €94.94/mo per domain to a Dutch visitor. Semrush One Starter €190 monthly (€158.40/mo billed annually) includes 50 tracked prompts. Source

Eli (ours)

Fits when: You want the AI search work done, not only measured: pages written and fixed on your own website, conversions tracked and Meta ads tested from one picture of the company, with you approving the first change and any ad budget.

Does by itself: Four agents (AI Search Agent, Website Agent, Conversion Agent, Paid Ads Agent) ask the questions buyers ask ChatGPT and Gemini, write the pages and fixes, track conversions and test Meta ads, every day, from one picture of the company.

You still: Connect the website once (site tag or WordPress plugin), approve the first change and the ad budget, answer questions Eli may not guess.

Not a fit when: You only want a dashboard to track AI visibility, or you sell mainly through retail checkout.

Entry price: Free to start; Autopilot from $99/mo (all four agents); $1,500/mo with Eli's team (Done for You). Source

Where Eli is not the right choice

When to choose something other than Eli

Skip Eli if you only want a dashboard to track AI visibility, or you sell mainly through retail checkout. Eli needs your website connected once (a site tag or the WordPress plugin), and you approve the first change and any ad budget. If you already have a marketing team that only needs the data, a measuring tool from the list above fits better and costs less.

How this page was made

How we compared them

We read each vendor's own product and pricing pages on 22 October 2026 and wrote down what each tool does by itself, what it leaves to you, whether changes need approval and the lowest published price. Where a vendor does not publish something, the page says so; nothing is estimated. No tool is scored or ranked: the others are listed alphabetically and Eli, which we make, last. If a fact here is out of date, email hello@hireeli.io and we correct it.

About Eli · facts checked 20 October 2026

What Eli is: AI agents that do your marketing work

Eli is an AI growth team for B2B companies: four autonomous AI agents for AI search, your website, conversions and Meta ads. They work every day; you approve what matters. You do not do the marketing work yourself: Eli's agents do it every day, also when you are not logged in, and ask you only when a decision is yours.

  • AI Search Agent: gets you named when buyers ask ChatGPT and Gemini what to buy.
  • Website Agent: fixes the pages where buyers decide; changes go live after your yes.
  • Conversion Agent: tracks which visits become customers, through the Eli site tag.
  • Paid Ads Agent: tests Meta ads inside your budget, after a tracking check.

Eli is for founders of B2B software and service companies, often 11 to 50 people, whose website gets visitors but not enough customers, and who have no marketing team to work on it.

You use Eli from ChatGPT or Claude, through Eli's MCP connector, or in your Eli account at hireeli.io, and Eli sends you one short report a week. There is no new dashboard to learn.

Eli Free is free forever: one website, one full check, no card. Eli Autopilot has all four agents (AI Search, Website, Conversion and Paid Ads for Meta ads) on every plan; only the capacity differs: Launch $99, Core $249 or Grow $599 a month (or €99, €249 and €599). Eli Done for You is $1,500 or €1,500 a month: Grow's capacity, set up and run with Eli's team. Every plan is monthly and can be cancelled anytime, and every account starts free. Enterprise is scoped and priced in a call. Your ad budget is separate and goes directly to Meta.

On G2, Eli is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 2 verified reviews (checked 20 October 2026). One reviewer: “I like how ELI has fully automated agents that do the work, so I don't have to do anything.” G2 reviews

You approve Eli's first change and your ad budget. After that you can let Eli improve pages and publish by itself, and you can undo anything. More money or anything new still waits for your yes. "Stop everything" works at any time. Eli never promises a ranking, a revenue figure, a multiple or a date. It tracks conversions, reports what it measured, and says so when it is too early to tell.
