12 GEO and AI-visibility tools verified and priced at publication: what each tracks, which engines it covers, and what I would buy at each budget.
An AI-visibility tool answers one question: when ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI results talk about your market, do they mention you, and who do they cite instead? In 2026 there are dozens of products claiming to measure this. I run GEO professionally at diShine, I have tested or demoed most of the serious contenders, and this guide compares the 12 that actually passed a liveness and pricing check at publication.
The short version: a solo consultant can start meaningful monitoring at $29 per month, a mid-market team should expect $99 to $400 per month, and enterprise platforms now run from four figures to five. The wrong move at every size is buying a dashboard before you have a prompt panel worth tracking; I covered that groundwork in my GEO playbook.
