Compare 8 Google AI Mode trackers on how they cover AI Mode answers, what they cost at a realistic size and who each one suits, plus how to track AI Mode by hand.
AI Peekaboo is the best Google AI Mode tracker for agencies that report AI Mode results to clients, because each client gets its own prompts, competitors and dashboard on one plan. Large enterprise companies with SSO and SOC 2 requirements should look at Profound, and in-house teams that sell in several countries should look at Peec AI.
AI Mode is Google's conversational search tab. Someone asks a full question, Google can run several related searches behind the scenes and writes an answer that can name brands and link its sources. If your buyers research there, you need to know whether the answer names you and, if it doesn't, which competitors and pages it names instead.
Search Console won't tell you that. Google counts AI Mode traffic inside the normal Performance report, so you see clicks but not the answers. The eight tools below all track AI Mode answers. I've compared them on how they cover AI Mode, what they cost at a realistic size, how they handle several brands and who each one suits.

The best Google AI Mode trackers, reviewed
1. AI Peekaboo: best for agencies reporting AI Mode results to clients
AI Peekaboo is built for the agency version of this job: several client brands, each with its own questions and competitors, and a report at the end of the month. Its AI Mode tracker runs the prompts you choose in Google AI Mode and shows how the answers name each brand, which competitors they recommend and which sources they cite.
Every score opens to the AI Mode answer behind it, with the competitors named and the sources cited, so "your visibility dropped" becomes "this comparison page is now cited instead of yours".
Key features
Choose up to 7 AI platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot and Claude API. There's no fixed set, so you can track AI Mode alone.
Give every client brand its own prompts, competitors and dashboard, and read the answer and sources behind each score.
Pitch prospects with unlimited pitch workspaces, which share one extra brand slot.
Get prompt suggestions, recommendations and content briefs for the pages worth creating or updating.
Share read-only links, pull data into Looker Studio or the API, or ask about a client's visibility from Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor through the hosted MCP server.
Connect GA4 and Google Search Console to see AI visibility next to site traffic.
Pricing
You choose how many brands you track, how many prompts each brand gets, which AI platforms you track and how often the prompts run. Plans start at $30 a month. Some example plans from the AI Peekaboo pricing calculator:

Claude API costs more per check than the other platforms, which is why the last row is the most expensive.
Annual billing saves 15%.
White-label reports and client share links come with plans at $100 a month or more.
There's no per-seat charge, and every brand in the account runs on the same schedule.
Eligible new workspaces with at least 10 prompts per brand and a verified monthly list price below $100 can get a 14-day card-backed trial.
Who should choose it
Choose AI Peekaboo if you're an agency and AI Mode is part of what clients ask about. You can price your actual client list, add brands as you sign them and send each client a link or branded report once the plan reaches $100 a month. A single brand that just wants to know where AI Mode names it can start on the smaller plans.
It's a weaker fit if you want AI Mode inside a full SEO suite with keyword and rank tracking. SE Ranking or Semrush does that. If your company needs SSO, SOC 2 and an AI teammate for research and writing, Profound is the better match.
2. Profound: best for large enterprise companies
I'd shortlist Profound only if SSO and SOC 2 are requirements, because that's where it earns its place. It pairs AI search monitoring with AI Marketer, an AI teammate for research, writing and reporting. Enterprise tracks up to 9 answer engines, and Google AI Mode is on the list alongside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claude and Google AI Overviews. It adds all-time history, CSV and JSON exports, an API, SSO and SOC 2 compliance.
Profound's free trial doesn't include AI Mode: it runs 50 prompts daily for 7 days on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. Our Profound review goes through the rest of the platform.
Key features
Track AI Mode among up to 9 answer engines on Enterprise.
Keep all-time history and export it as CSV or JSON, or pull it through the API.
Meet enterprise security requirements with SSO, SAML and SOC 2 compliance.
Track AI-sourced traffic and attribution across your domains with Agent Analytics, which connects to Cloudflare, Vercel, Google Analytics and others.
Use AI Marketer to research, write and report on your brand with an AI teammate. It runs on credits.

It's the wrong fit for a small team or an agency pricing a list of small client brands. AI Peekaboo starts at $30 a month, and Rankshift offers a 30-day trial and tracks every model on its plans.
3. Peec AI: best for in-house teams tracking several countries
Peec AI is built for a brand's own marketing team that wants the same AI visibility view across its markets. On self-serve plans you choose three models from ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI, and prompts run daily. AI Mode takes one of the three slots.
Its gap analysis lists the sources that name competitors but not you, which gives you a list of pages to get onto. You can filter results by model, country and prompt tag, which is the main reason to choose it for several markets. Three models per plan is Peec's main trade-off, and our Peec AI review goes through what each plan allows.
Key features
Choose three active models, including AI Mode and AI Overviews.
See which domains and URLs AI retrieves when it recommends a product, and which sources mention competitors but not you.
Filter visibility by model, country and prompt tags.
Add unlimited users on every self-serve plan.

Every self-serve plan includes three active models and daily tracking.
A fourth model costs extra, from €25 a month on Starter, billed annually.
Peec says tracking extra countries or languages costs nothing beyond your prompts, yet lists multi-country only on the Advanced card, alongside Looker Studio, so confirm which plan covers your markets.
Annual billing saves 15%.
Enterprise lets you choose daily or weekly tracking, and adds API access, SSO and up to 13 models.
Who should choose it
Choose Peec AI if you're an in-house team at a brand selling in several countries and you want daily AI Mode data on a fixed set of models. For several markets I'd budget for Advanced at €425.
Pass on it if you track many client brands and want to pay for what you check. AI Peekaboo fits that setup better. For one brand with a short list, Otterly Lite with AI Mode is €38 a month, though for 15 prompts against Peec's 50.
4. SE Ranking: best for SEO teams that want rankings and AI tracking together
For an SEO team that already lives in rank tracking, SE Ranking is the least disruptive way to add AI Mode. It has a dedicated Google AI Mode Tracker that sits next to its rank tracking. It shows brand mentions and links to your site in AI Mode answers, which of your pages get the most attention in AI Mode answers, which competitors appear and which domains Google pulls in, grouped into types such as media, blogs and forums.
You can compare your visibility in AI Mode, AI Overviews and the classic results in one view, with the search volume behind each query. AI Mode is named in the AI Search add-on, so price Core plus the add-on. Our SE Ranking review looks at the rest of the suite you'd be paying for.
Key features

SE Ranking doesn't say which engines Core's 100 prompts cover, so budget for Core plus the add-on: €188 a month, or €150.40 a month billed annually.
The Agency Pack adds white-label reporting and 30 client seats for €59 a month, on annual billing only.
The 14-day free trial needs no credit card.
Who should choose it
SE Ranking suits an in-house SEO team or a small SEO agency that already tracks rankings and wants AI Mode in the same reports. You're paying for a whole suite, so it's best value when you'll use the keyword and rank tools too.
It's less of a fit if you don't need the SEO suite. Rankshift offers unlimited projects and seats, and AI Peekaboo gives each client its own brand.
5. Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit: best for in-house SEO teams that report from Semrush
If your team already reports from Semrush, start there before buying another tool. Semrush tracks AI Mode through Prompt Tracking, which monitors a set of prompts daily on ChatGPT Search, Google AI Mode and Gemini. For each one you see AI visibility, mentions, owned sources and your average position.
The AI Visibility Toolkit adds an AI Visibility Score, prompt research and brand performance reports on sentiment and share of voice, which our Semrush AI toolkit review walks through.
Key features
Track prompts daily in Google AI Mode, ChatGPT Search and Gemini.
See AI visibility, mentions, owned sources and average position for each prompt.

Benchmark brands with the AI Visibility Score and find topics in Prompt Research.

The standalone AI Visibility Toolkit has no free trial.
Extra prompts cost $60 a month for 50 more, and each extra user license is $99 (both in USD).
Who should choose it
Choose it if you're an in-house SEO team that already reports from Semrush. Skip it if you track many client brands, since you pay per domain and per extra user license. SE Ranking's Agency Pack adds 30 client seats for SEO agencies, and AI Peekaboo prices by brand for agencies that only need AI visibility.
6. Otterly: best for small teams adding AI Mode to a daily check
Otterly Lite is a low entry price for adding AI Mode to a daily check: €38 a month with the €9 add-on, for 15 prompts. Lite, Standard and Premium all track ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot daily. Google AI Mode is a paid extra engine, at €9 a month on Lite.
The add-on costs more as you move up: €59 a month on Standard and €149 on Premium.
Key features
Add Google AI Mode as an extra engine on any plan.
Track brand visibility, sentiment and citation sources daily.
Add unlimited team members on every plan.

Otterly works for a solo marketer or small team tracking one brand that wants AI Mode alongside daily ChatGPT and Perplexity checks for under €40 a month.
Think twice if you'll need many prompts, because Standard plus AI Mode is €248 a month, so a team with more than about 15 prompts should compare AIclicks, Peec AI or Rankshift.
7. AIclicks: best for small teams tracking Google's AI features together
AIclicks lets you pick your models, and both Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews are on the list, so you can watch Google's two AI features together without paying for separate add-ons. Starter, Pro and Business also include 5, 15 or 30 articles a month and the Clicky agent, which suggests content updates, new content and outreach.
Starter is tight, at 30 prompts, 1 website and 1 country.
Key features
Choose 3, 4 or 6 models depending on the plan, including Google AI Mode and AI Overviews.
Get 5, 15 or 30 articles a month, depending on the plan.

AIclicks pays off when the same small team tracks AI Mode and writes the fixes itself.
If you already have writers or an agency, you're paying for articles you won't use. Otterly Lite with AI Mode costs €38 a month but covers 15 prompts against AIclicks' 30, so it's only the cheaper choice if you track about 15 questions or fewer.
8. Rankshift: best for consultants tracking many projects
Rankshift tracks your prompts in AI Mode and shows how often your brand is named, where it sits in the answer, which sources are cited and which competitors appear. It keeps the full answer from every run and counts a mention separately from a link, because AI Mode can name you without linking to you.
Rankshift charges for usage, not for brands or seats: Starter, Professional and Business all include unlimited projects, unlimited seats and all AI models, with a daily prompt allowance and a pool of credits. For a consultant with many small projects, that beats paying per brand.
Key features
Track AI Mode visibility, position, share of voice, citations and sentiment for each prompt.
Store the full AI Mode answer for every run and see history by brand, prompt and model.
Track prompts in the countries and languages you sell in.
Create unlimited projects and add unlimited seats on Starter, Professional and Business.
Create content briefs for the pages you want to improve, report in Looker Studio, or pull results into your own tools through the API and MCP.

Who should choose it
Rankshift fits an SEO consultant or small agency with lots of projects that reports to clients in its own format. If your clients need white-label reports, pick AI Peekaboo or SE Ranking's Agency Pack instead, since Rankshift doesn't list them.
AI Mode vs AI Overviews: how they differ and why to track both
AI Mode and AI Overviews both come from Google, but they don't give the same answers. Google says the two may use different models and techniques, so the responses and links they show will vary. AI Overviews only appear when Google decides they add something to the normal results, and they often don't trigger. AI Mode is suited to questions that need reasoning or comparisons. Google says both may use query fan-out, issuing several related searches before writing the answer.
In practice I'd track them as two platforms in the same tool, with the same prompts, because the same question can name you in one and miss you in the other. If AI Overviews are your bigger concern, our list of the best AI Overview trackers covers the tools for that platform.
How to track AI Mode without a tool
You can check AI Mode by hand for a short list of questions. It's slow, but it tells you whether AI Mode is worth paying to track. In my view the question list matters more than the tool: if you track questions your buyers never ask, every number after that is noise.
Write down 20 questions your buyers ask, in their words. Include comparisons, since Google says AI Mode is particularly helpful for complex comparisons.
Ask each one in AI Mode on the same day each week.
Record whether your brand is named, where it appears in the answer, which competitors are named and which pages are linked.
Check Search Console for the clicks. AI Mode traffic is part of the Performance report under the Web search type, mixed in with other results. Our Google Search Console AI Mode guide explains what you can and can't see there.
One answer is a snapshot, not a trend, so a weekly check is the minimum I'd keep. Once you need more than a couple of dozen questions, or more than one brand, a tracker that repeats each prompt on a schedule saves the hours.
Which AI Mode tracker should you pick?
Agencies reporting to clients should start with AI Peekaboo. Large enterprises that need SSO and SOC 2 should start with Profound, and in-house teams across several countries should compare Peec AI. If you want AI Mode inside your SEO suite, choose SE Ranking or stay with Semrush. Small teams on a tight budget should compare Otterly, AIclicks and Rankshift.
The free AI visibility checker doesn't cover AI Mode. It does show once how ChatGPT and Gemini answers name your brand, which competitors appear and which sources they cite, so you can see whether AI platforms mention you at all before you pay for a tracker.
How we checked this
Last checked: 25 October 2026.
Prices and plan limits come from each vendor's public pricing page, read on that date, in the currency each page showed. Features come from vendor product pages, help centers and Google's own documentation on AI features. AI Peekaboo's example plans come from its live pricing calculator. The tools are ranked by fit for each type of team, based on how they cover AI Mode, pricing at realistic sizes and multi-brand support, not by hands-on testing.
Frequently asked questions
How do you track AI Mode?
Choose the questions your buyers ask, run them in Google AI Mode on a schedule and record whether your brand is named, where it appears and which pages are cited. You can do that by hand for a few questions, or use a tracker that repeats each prompt and keeps the history.
Does Search Console show AI Mode data?
Yes, but only as part of your overall search traffic. Google counts AI Mode traffic in the Performance report under the Web search type, together with other results. It doesn't show the answers or whether they named your brand.
Is AI Mode the same as AI Overviews?
No. AI Overviews are summaries that appear on some normal Google searches. AI Mode is a separate conversational search experience for longer questions. Google says they may use different models and techniques, so the answers and links differ.
How much does an AI Mode tracker cost?
It ranges from about $30 a month for a small plan to custom enterprise pricing. AI Peekaboo starts at $30 a month, Otterly adds AI Mode from €9 a month on its €29 Lite plan, and Peec AI starts at €85 a month with AI Mode as one of three models.
