|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Peec AI is a European AI-visibility analytics tool tracking brand visibility, average position and sentiment across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, refreshed daily. Plans are sized by tracked prompts and projects rather than seats, and every tier includes unlimited team members. | Search Console reports how a site performs in Google: queries, impressions, clicks and average position, plus index coverage, sitemap submission, Core Web Vitals and manual action notices. Data spans 16 months and can be exported by API or streamed into BigQuery. | Hacker News ranks links by upvotes with a steep time decay, and Show HN is the convention for launching your own work. Reddit distributes through topical subreddits, each governed by its own self-promotion rules and volunteer moderators. |

| Cost tier | paid | free | free |
| Pricing | No public price list: Starter (50 prompts, 1 project), Pro (150 prompts), Advanced (350 prompts, multi-country, Looker Studio) and Enterprise are quoted after signup — reported entry is roughly EUR 90/mo. Unlimited users on every tier, 15% off annual, free trial. | Free forever, no paid tier and no seat limits. Performance data covers 16 months. API, Looker Studio connector and BigQuery bulk export all included at no cost. | Free. Hacker News sells no placement at all. Reddit sells ads separately, but organic posts in any subreddit cost nothing. |
| Why builders pick it | Unlimited seats at the entry tier is rare in this category — a whole editorial team can watch one AI-visibility dashboard without per-seat billing. Daily refresh catches shifts right after a model update. | The only source of real query data — every other tool estimates. It shows which articles Google already ranks and which queries you nearly rank for, which is where the cheapest traffic lives. | A front-page HN post moves thousands of technically-minded readers in an afternoon and reliably produces backlinks. One well-matched subreddit can outperform every paid channel for a niche publication. |
| Watch out for | Prices are not published, so budgeting means a sales conversation or a signup. Engine coverage is three models, narrower than Profound or Otterly.ai. | The Performance UI caps at 1,000 rows per query and samples heavily; use the API or BigQuery export for full data. Its numbers will never match your analytics tool. | Both punish marketing tone: HN buries promotional titles and Reddit mods ban accounts with no comment history. Spikes are single-day events, and an HN front page can take down under-provisioned hosting. |
| How to wire it up | not logged | Verify via DNS TXT record or your host's one-click integration. | Post as Show HN with a plain descriptive title and no adjectives. |
| Editor's pick | No | No | No |
