GuideHow much does AI visibility cost?
AI-visibility pricing runs from free one-time scans to five-figure enterprise contracts, and the gap confuses a lot of buyers. The honest answer: what you pay should match whether you need a one-time baseline, ongoing monitoring, or an enterprise program. Here's how the tiers break down in 2026.
FAQ
What should AI visibility actually cost a small business?For an SMB, a free scan to baseline, then roughly $39–$99/mo for daily monitoring and generated fixes is the sweet spot. You shouldn't need an enterprise contract or a sales call to find out whether AI recommends you. Cited's monitoring starts at $39/mo (Solo) and $99/mo (Pro).
Why do enterprise AI-visibility tools cost so much more?They bundle custom integrations, large-scale prompt tracking, seats, and procurement/onboarding. That's right for big brands with dedicated AEO teams — and overkill for a founder, SMB, or agency that mainly needs the score and the fixes.
Can I check my AI visibility for free?Yes — the Cited scan is free with no signup: your 0–100 score across 8+ engines, who AI names instead of you, and the top fix in about 30 seconds. You only pay if you want ongoing monitoring.
