Prices as of 21 to 30 September 2026, each dated in its entry below, in the currency the tool's own page prints. On 13 September 2026, asked "best AI visibility tool", six AI engines mentioned twelve different tools across six answers, five of them in four or more answers.
How are AI visibility tools for agencies scored?
Five criteria make 100 points, weighted for an agency that checks client brands and pitches new ones. What one check on a prospect costs carries the most weight, because a pitch is a single check, not a month of a plan. Then how a new client brand is paid for, how many AI engines the first paid step asks, what a prospect can see for free, and whether every tier has a price an agency can quote a client from.
| Criterion | Weight | How the points are given |
|---|---|---|
| A check for a prospect | 25 | Paid per check, with nothing owed after it, 25. A month of a plan under 100, 10. A month of a plan from 100 to 249, 6. A month of a plan at 250 or more, 3 |
| Adding a client brand | 20 | Another brand on the same balance, with no fee per brand or seat, 20. A monthly plan, with brands as its tier allows, 6 |
| AI engines on the first paid step | 20 | Six or more, 20. Four or five, 12. Three, 7. One or two, 3 |
| A free look before a pitch | 20 | A free check on all six AI engines, with no end date, 20. Something free with no end date, on fewer AI engines, 15. A trial that asks for no card, 8. Any other trial, 4. A trial that takes a card, or nothing free, 0 |
| A price list to quote a client from | 15 | Every tier priced on the page, 15. A tier above priced only after a call, 5 |
Each of the fifteen others is a monthly plan, so each scores 6 of 20 for adding a client brand, and twelve of them keep a tier priced only after a call.
What to look for in AI visibility tools for agencies
An AI visibility tool for agencies holds every client brand in one account, pays for them from one bill, checks a prospect at the price of any check and hands the client a report they can open.
The AI visibility agency tool page walks through each of these, from the first client to the fiftieth.
How many client brands can an AI visibility tool hold?
A MentionChecker account holds as many client brands as you add, and one balance pays for all of them.
When a client leaves, remove the brand, and nothing is taken from the balance. Of the fifteen others, eleven sell client work as a separate agency plan, a client workspace or a count of brands per tier, each named and dated in its entry below.
How to check a prospect's AI visibility before a pitch
Run one check on the prospect's brand: enter their website, keep or edit the questions drafted from it, pick the AI engines and a country, and read the report. It costs what any check costs, and the report stays in the account after the pitch.
The report opens on three numbers. Mentioned is the share of answers with the prospect's name in them, share of voice is their mentions as a share of every mention in the check, and average rank is their place in the answers that listed names in order. A mention is a brand's name inside the answer itself, and a citation is a website the answer gives as its source. Below the numbers sit every answer word for word, every other brand the answers mentioned, ranked, and the websites they cited, so the pitch can show who is mentioned instead, on which questions, and which pages to be mentioned on. When the prospect signs, this check is the first point on their History.
How to share an AI visibility report with a client
Send the client a link to the report: they open the same report with no login. The link stays on the check it was made for, so a later check never changes what the client was sent, and the page is not listed by search engines.
Export gives the same report as a PDF, with MentionChecker's mark and the client's name on its letterhead, as Markdown for a document and as JSON for a spreadsheet. The AI visibility report page shows the link and every export in full.
How much does an AI visibility tool for agencies cost?
A MentionChecker pack starts at $9, bought once, and an agency pays for the checks its clients need and nothing for a client nobody checks this month. One question on one AI engine, asked once, is one credit, whichever brand it is for, and credits last 12 months.
| Credits | What that runs, for example | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 50 credits | eight questions on all six AI engines, once | $9 |
| 100 credits | 25 questions on four AI engines, once | $17 |
| 250 credits | 25 questions on five AI engines, twice, with what moved between them | $25 |
| 1,000 credits | 25 questions on four AI engines for ten client brands once, or one brand ten times | $45 |
| 5,000 credits | The same check for fifty client brands, once | $75 |
A repeat runs a client's check daily, weekly or monthly from the same balance, and when the balance is short the repeat pauses and the account owner gets one email. Among the fifteen others, entry tiers run from 20 euros a month on Rankscale to 599 dollars a month on Gauge, each owed again the next month and dated in its entry below. Every pack is on the pricing page, and the pay as you go AI visibility tracker page says how the balance works.
What does each AI visibility tool for agencies include?
Each entry gives the tier it was scored at, the date its price was read, and what the tool charges for a second client brand, a seat or an agency plan.
MentionChecker
95 of 100. The only tool here paid per check, so a client nobody checks this month costs nothing. The free look before a pitch is 15 of 20, because the free check asks ChatGPT and Gemini, and no free tier in this ranking asks all six AI engines.

Best AI visibility tool for a GEO or AEO agency
MentionChecker, for a GEO, AEO or SEO agency: a check before the work and the same check after it show which answers started mentioning the client, by question and by AI engine.
MentionChecker is a pay-as-you-go AI visibility checker. It asks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot the questions people ask about what you do, and tells you whether your brand is mentioned in the answers.
Put each client on a monthly repeat and you are doing AI visibility tracking for the whole roster, with History showing what moved after the work. The websites the answers cited, listed in each report, are the pages a GEO agency works to be mentioned on, and the brands mentioned instead are the ones it works to out-answer, question by question. The guide to how to check ChatGPT visibility shows one AI engine end to end.
Questions agencies ask about AI visibility tools
Is there a white-label AI visibility report for agencies?
Client-named, not unbranded: a MentionChecker report's PDF puts the client's name on its letterhead beside MentionChecker's mark, and the shared link opens on the client's brand, the date and the report, with no login. The client reads the same report the agency does, and it can be sent again as a PDF, as Markdown or as JSON.
Which AI visibility tool has no monthly fee?
MentionChecker. It sells credit packs bought once, from $9, so an agency pays for the checks it runs and nothing in the months between. Each of the fifteen others here is a monthly plan, owed again the next month, and Scrunch AI's Agency Core, for one, is 500 dollars every month, read on 28 September 2026 on Scrunch's pricing page.
Can a client see the other brands in an agency account?
No. A shared MentionChecker link opens one report of one brand, so the client sees that report and nothing else in the account: not the other brands, not the balance and not what any check cost. People invited to the account each have a role.
How do agencies report AI visibility to clients each month?
With a MentionChecker repeat on each client brand, set to monthly, the check runs from the balance each month. The agency sends the client a link to the report, or a PDF with the client's name on it, and History shows which answers changed since the last run.
How much does an AI visibility audit cost?
An AI visibility audit of a prospect costs what any MentionChecker check costs: 100 credits for 25 questions on four AI engines, with a pack from $9. When the prospect signs, that check becomes the first point on their History, so the first month's work is read against it. Your first check is free, with no card.
Is there an AI visibility tool with no fee per client?
Yes: one balance pays for every brand in a MentionChecker account, with no fee per brand, per client or per person. Gauge's Agency Mode, by contrast, charges 300 dollars a month for each active client, read on 30 September 2026 on its Agency Mode page.
Can I export an AI visibility report as a PDF?
Yes. A MentionChecker report exports as a PDF with the client's name on its letterhead, for a deck or a monthly review, as Markdown for a document and as JSON for a spreadsheet or a script. The raw answers of the check go into the Markdown and the JSON on request, for a signed-in account only.
Do AI visibility tools for agencies limit seats?
Some limit them: Profound's agency plan carries five seats, read on 21 September 2026 on Profound's pricing page. A MentionChecker account invites anyone by email with a role, and a role costs nothing. A viewer reads reports and History and spends nothing, an editor adds brands and runs checks, an admin also invites people, and only the owner buys credits.
Which AI engines should an agency track for its clients?
The ones each client's people use. A MentionChecker check can ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot, picked per brand, so a client whose people ask Copilot is checked on Copilot and another stays on the default four. The report counts the answers together and by AI engine, and History keeps one line per AI engine.
Can an agency track client brands in different countries?
Yes. Each MentionChecker brand is checked from the country its people are in, and a client with people in two countries is checked from both, with one report and one History per country. An agency in London can check a client in Texas from the United States, at the same credit per question per AI engine.
How often should an agency check a client's AI visibility?
Monthly suits most retainers, with a check before the work starts as the baseline. A MentionChecker repeat runs the same check daily, weekly or monthly, set per brand and paid from the balance as each run happens, so one client can be on a weekly repeat and another checked once before a quarterly review. History shows what moved between runs.
Can I import a client's questions from another AI visibility tool?
Yes. MentionChecker takes a client's questions pasted one per line or uploaded as a CSV, in the check wizard or in the brand's settings, and questions already on the brand are not added twice. There is no cap on the count, and each question is one credit per AI engine when the check runs. Questions drafted from the client's website can sit beside them.
