AEO/GEO Software Pricing

AEO/GEO software pricing is the cost of tools and services that monitor, diagnose, and improve how a company appears in AI-generated answers.

Also known as AI search optimisation pricing, AEO software pricing, GEO software pricing

01 · Definition

What is AEO/GEO software pricing?

AEO/GEO software pricing covers the tools and services used to monitor AI answers, diagnose why a company is represented in a particular way, guide improvements, and measure later changes.

A monthly price is only useful when the buyer knows which job is being billed. Vendors may meter prompts, models, captured responses, domains, projects, workspaces, generated articles, agent runs, API access, analysis, advisory time, or monitoring cadence.

Those units describe different operating systems. One package may mainly collect mentions, another may combine visibility data with content production, and another may connect recurring answers with source evidence, action priorities, and retesting. Similar monthly prices therefore do not imply equivalent work or equivalent outcomes.

The practical comparison starts with the decision a team needs to make: observe where it appears, understand why an answer looks wrong, decide what to change, produce the change, or verify whether the intervention was followed by a measurable difference.

02 · Public price snapshot

How much does AEO/GEO software cost in 2026?

In this verified six-platform snapshot, public entry pricing runs from $29 per month for prompt-led monitoring to $250 per month for broader visibility benchmarking, while larger packages and service layers can exceed $500 per month.

This is a comparable buying snapshot, not a universal market minimum or maximum. Free audits, annual discounts, custom enterprise contracts, additional engines, domains, prompts, advisory services, and taxes can materially change the amount paid.

03 · Billing mechanics

Why are AEO/GEO prices difficult to compare?

AEO/GEO prices are difficult to compare because platforms charge against different units, include different kinds of work, and use different limits for the coverage a buyer actually receives.

Prompt count is only one dimension. Buyers also need to compare the number of models, geographic markets and languages, collection frequency, domains or brands, workspaces, team seats, response quotas, exports, API access, implementation guidance, and human advisory time.

Billing terms add another layer. An advertised monthly equivalent may require annual payment, while a nominally higher plan may remain cancellable month-to-month. Overage prices and paid add-ons can reverse the apparent ordering once the required prompt volume, engines, locations, or collaborators are included.

Comparison rule

Compare the job being performed before comparing the monthly number.

A useful quote should make the monitored unit and refresh cadence explicit, distinguish software from service, and show what happens when the buyer exceeds a quota. Without that ledger, a price comparison is incomplete.

04 · Kojable plans

How does Kojable price AI answer alignment?

Kojable prices its paid plans mainly by improvement-cycle cadence. Every paid plan includes monitoring, source and gap diagnosis, competitor context, prioritised actions, implementation guidance, and comparable retesting.

The plan choice is therefore a decision about how quickly new evidence should return to the team. A stable category may need a weekly baseline, while a fast-moving category with active implementation may justify a shorter feedback loop.

Kojable plans, refresh cadence, and the operating condition that can justify each price.
Plan Public price Refresh cadence Operating condition
Free Brand Integrity Audit Free. One-time diagnosis. A buyer needs a baseline before selecting ongoing work.
Starter $99/month. Weekly. A baseline and lower-frequency review support the team’s decisions.
Growth $179/month. Twice-weekly. Active market or source changes need clearer trend context.
Pro $299/month. Every other day. The team is actively implementing and reviewing improvements.
Max $499/month. Daily. The category is competitive or changes quickly.
Lite Touch Advisory +$599/month. Human QA and monthly prioritisation. Compare with analyst, consultancy, or senior-review cost.
Keep-Warm $49/month. Paused active work. Preserve setup and history for a later restart.

Current Kojable pricing is subject to change, excludes applicable taxes, and may vary by market, category, customer, currency, and final agreement. Plan selection should follow the cadence of real decisions; more frequent collection is not automatically more valuable.

05 · Value case

Why are Kojable’s prices justified?

Kojable’s prices can be justified when a team needs a recurring decision loop rather than a visibility score alone, and when the saved analysis, avoided service cost, or measured commercial value exceeds the total operating cost.

Kojable’s public packaging places greater emphasis on the connected cycle of monitoring, diagnosis, competitor context, priorities, guidance, and retesting. That framing does not make every higher-cadence plan necessary; it identifies the additional work a buyer should test against its own use case.

Core diagnosis is included in every paid plan. Higher prices mainly buy faster refreshes, deeper trend context, better-tailored actions, and optional human review. The value question is whether those differences change a decision soon enough to matter.

  • Starter at $99 is above OtterlyAI Lite at $29, close to Promptwatch Essential at $95, and numerically matches Semrush AI Visibility at $99. Their billing units and package jobs differ.
  • Growth at $179 is close to OtterlyAI Standard at $189 and below Writesonic Basic at $199 per month when billed annually.
  • Pro at $299 is above Scrunch Core at $250, but below Writesonic Growth at $399 annually, OtterlyAI Premium at $489, and Promptwatch Business at $579.

Those comparisons do not prove that one plan offers the best value. They locate Kojable’s public prices among products that sell different combinations of monitoring, analysis, content, auditing, and service.

The optional $599 advisory layer should be compared with the cost of analyst time, consultancy or agency support, senior review, and a wrong diagnosis. Keeping the service separate lets a team buy human QA only when it has a clear operational need.

Example

A small team can start with the free audit, test whether the diagnosis produces useful priorities, and then compare Starter’s $99 monthly cost with the analyst hours required to recreate that cycle. The free baseline reduces purchase risk without asserting a future result.

06 · Buying priorities

How is Kojable different from other AEO/GEO platforms?

Kojable is differentiated by connecting observed AI answers with likely source evidence, diagnosed gaps, practical changes, and comparable retesting. Other public offers may fit better when the primary need is low-cost monitoring, content production, or an existing SEO suite.

Fit should be assessed against the buyer’s dominant job, not a general league table. The following comparison describes the emphasis visible in each public offer and does not declare a universal winner.

Which public AEO/GEO offer may fit different buying priorities.
Buying priority Offer that may fit Public package emphasis
Lowest-cost prompt monitoring OtterlyAI. Low public entry price with daily, prompt-led tracking.
Combined SEO, GEO, content, and agents Writesonic. Visibility, auditing, content production, and agentic workflows.
Monitoring with generated AEO content Promptwatch. Responses, prompts, articles, and agent analytics within plan limits.
AI visibility in an SEO suite Semrush. AI reports and prompt tracking alongside the wider Semrush environment.
Broad benchmarking and site auditing Scrunch. Visibility benchmarks, prompt coverage, and recurring site audits.
Diagnosis, action, and retesting cadence Kojable. Explaining why answers may look that way, prioritising changes, and retesting.

07 · Spend ceiling

How should a company calculate its maximum justifiable spend?

A company should set its maximum justifiable spend from recoverable internal time, avoidable external-service cost, and attributable gross profit, then subtract the implementation and management cost required to obtain and use the evidence.

Monthly ceiling formula

Maximum justifiable monthly spend = recoverable analyst time + avoidable external-service cost + attributable gross profit from measured improvement − implementation and management cost

  • Recoverable analyst time is the loaded cost of recurring collection, comparison, diagnosis, and reporting that the platform can credibly replace.
  • Avoidable external-service cost is consultancy, agency, research, or data work that is no longer required. Count only genuine substitutions.
  • Attributable gross profit is the profit attached to measured incremental outcomes with a defensible link to the work, not forecast revenue or general market growth.
  • Implementation and management cost includes staff time for reviewing evidence, making changes, coordinating owners, and maintaining measurement.
Illustrative example

A buyer records $420 of recoverable analyst time, $300 of avoided monthly research support, and $250 of attributable gross profit. If implementation and management cost $370, the illustrative ceiling is $600 per month. The buyer should insert its own measured values; this example assumes no universal lift, conversion rate, or causal effect.

The ceiling is a decision boundary, not a spending target. Recalculate it when team costs, platform scope, attribution evidence, or the implementation burden changes.

08 · Procurement ledger

What should procurement check before choosing a platform?

Procurement should compare the exact monitored unit, coverage, cadence, limits, outputs, service boundary, evidence quality, renewal terms, and total operating cost before treating any advertised monthly price as comparable.

  1. Which prompts, topics, questions, or responses count toward the plan?
  2. Which AI models and answer surfaces are included?
  3. How many countries, languages, and locations can be monitored?
  4. How often is each comparable question collected and refreshed?
  5. How many domains, brands, projects, and workspaces are included?
  6. How many seats are included, and what does another user cost?
  7. Which response, article, agent-run, report, export, or API quotas apply?
  8. What happens at the limit: blocked use, overage billing, or an automatic upgrade?
  9. Does the platform only observe mentions, or also diagnose likely source and information gaps?
  10. Are recommendations prioritised and tied to visible evidence?
  11. Does the package explain how to implement changes and who owns that work?
  12. Can later tests be compared fairly with the original baseline?
  13. Which functions are software, automated content, analyst work, or advisory service?
  14. Are the advertised prices monthly, annual equivalents, tax-exclusive, or custom?
  15. What are the renewal, cancellation, data-export, history-retention, and service-change terms?
Procurement risk

Platforms cannot guarantee these outcomes; Treat guarantees about rankings, citations, recommendations, or revenue as a procurement risk rather than a pricing benefit.

The completed ledger should be stored beside the buying decision. It makes later renewal reviews possible when prices, limits, product scope, or internal usage change.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

Is the cheapest AEO/GEO platform usually the best value?

No. The lowest price may suit a narrow monitoring job, but value depends on the required coverage, diagnosis, outputs, service, and implementation burden.

Is Kojable more expensive than monitoring-only platforms?

It can be. Kojable Starter at $99 per month costs more than OtterlyAI Lite at $29, while its public package includes diagnosis, priorities, guidance, and retesting beyond prompt monitoring.

Does a higher AEO/GEO price guarantee more AI visibility or citations?

No. A higher price cannot guarantee more visibility or citations. It may include more coverage, faster refreshes, or additional work, but no platform controls model inclusion, rankings, recommendations, or commercial outcomes.

When is a higher-frequency Kojable plan justified?

It is justified when the team is making and reviewing changes often enough for a shorter measurement cycle to alter a real decision.

How often should AEO/GEO pricing be reviewed?

Review pricing at renewal and whenever usage, plan limits, monitored markets, product scope, billing terms, internal costs, or the evidence supporting ROI materially changes.
