Best GEO tools under $100 a month
Foliora's Essential plan is the most complete thing under $100: $49.99 buys the whole research-approve-publish-verify loop on one site, with approval included rather than held back for a higher tier. Rank Prompt's Pro plan at $71.25 billed annually reaches six engines and publishes to WordPress, but approvals only appear at $239.17. StoreSEO's $39.99 Essential is the best value if the site is a Shopify store, and Geoa writes to both Shopify and WooCommerce for DKK 299 (≈$43 at 6.9 DKK/USD, 2026-09-15). Passcite's $49 Solo plan covers 3 client sites at 30 questions across three engines each — three sites for the price the others charge for one — and publishes nothing. overrank is the cheapest at $25 and does not ask an assistant anything.
How we ranked these
These 6 criteria were fixed before the tools were scored, and the scoring is checked against them — a tool cannot be given a mark on a criterion that is not on this list, and cannot skip one. That is the whole difference between this page and the others answering the same question.
- 01
Sites the plan covers
The single number that decides whether a plan works for a consultant with three clients or only for someone with one site of their own. A per-site price that looks cheap at one site is a different product at five.
- 02
Engines at this price
Several tools reserve the extra assistants for higher tiers, so the engine count on the cheap plan is often not the count on the homepage.
- 03
Writes to the site at this price
The most common thing held back above $100. A plan that only reports is a fine purchase, but you should know that is what you bought.
- 04
What can go wrong on a client's site
Automated publishing on a client site is the risk agencies report most in this category. At this price almost nothing includes a human approval step, so it is worth knowing which tools are writing unsupervised.
- 05
Flat, or credits and quotas
A flat per-site price is a number you can put in a client proposal. Credits are a number you find out at the end of the month, which is the most common complaint in reviews of tools priced that way.
- 06
What you hit first
Every plan here has one limit that binds long before the others, and the interesting question is what the next step up costs when you hit it.
The ranking
- 1
Foliora Essential
$49.99 / site / month
The full improvement loop on one website, on a monthly cycle — research, prepared drafts, your approval, publishing, live verification.
- Sites the plan coversNo
One. A second site is a second $49.99, so three client sites is $150 and the plan leaves this page.
- Engines at this pricePartly
ChatGPT and Gemini, same as their top plan. No Perplexity at any price.
- Writes to the site at this priceYes
Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, GitHub pull requests and MCP — the full set, on the cheap plan rather than a higher one.
- What can go wrong on a client's siteYes
Approval is included at this price. Nothing publishes until you approve a prepared change, and the verification afterwards is kept as evidence.
- Flat, or credits and quotasYes
Flat per site, per month. The plan difference is cadence — monthly here, weekly at $149.99 — not an allowance.
- What you hit firstPartly
The site count. There is no portfolio price, so the cost is linear in clients forever.
Where Foliora Essential wins- The only complete loop under $100, with approval included rather than sold as an upgrade.
- Four publishing targets plus MCP at the cheapest tier.
- Flat, quotable per-site price with no credits to reconcile.
- Live verification after a change, kept as evidence — nothing else at this price measures whether the change worked.
- 2
Rank Prompt Pro
$71.25 / month billed annually, or $39.17 for Starter
Answer-engine tracking with content generation, metered in credits, with up to 100 brands on Pro.
- Sites the plan coversYes
Up to 100 brands on Pro, 10 on Starter. The ceiling is generous — the credits are what actually binds.
- Engines at this priceYes
Six: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Claude and Google AI Overviews. The most of anything at any price on this page.
- Writes to the site at this priceYes
WordPress and GitHub pull requests, plus a hosted blog. AI article generation is included from Starter.
- What can go wrong on a client's siteNo
Article reviews and client approvals are an Agency Plus feature at $239.17. At this price it publishes without anyone reading a draft.
- Flat, or credits and quotasNo
500 credits a month on Pro, 150 on Starter, where a tracked prompt and a generated article both spend them. Fifty articles or five hundred prompts, not both.
- What you hit firstNo
Credits, and quickly. One client site asked 30 questions across three engines is 90 prompts, so Pro's 500 credits cover 5 client sites and nothing else.
Where Rank Prompt Pro wins- Six engines at $71.25 — nothing else on this page gets past four.
- Developer API access with a real request allowance, from the $39.17 tier.
- 100 brands means a roster fits in the account even if the credits do not.
- A free forever tier underneath it, so you can test the thing before paying.
- 3
StoreSEO Essential
$39.99 / month, or $14.99 for Lite
A Shopify SEO app with an AI agent layer, metered by products, images, AI credits and tracked keywords.
- Sites the plan coversNo
One Shopify store. It installs as a Shopify app, so a roster is a separate subscription per store.
- Engines at this priceYes
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Grok are all named on their brand-visibility feature.
- Writes to the site at this priceYes
Into the store directly — titles, descriptions, markup, blog posts — because it is an app inside Shopify rather than an integration.
- What can go wrong on a client's sitePartly
Their site said "nothing is written to your store without your say-so" when we read it on 2026-09-10; we did not re-verify the approval flow on 2026-09-15, only the prices.
- Flat, or credits and quotasPartly
250 products, 2,000 images, 5,000 AI credits and 100 keywords at $39.99. Four meters, but all four are legible before you buy.
- What you hit firstPartly
Product count. A catalogue past 250 goes to $99.99, past 1,000 to $249.99 — steep, but predictable from your own catalogue size.
Where StoreSEO Essential wins- The only tool here that reports AI-driven orders and revenue by channel, which is the complaint every tracker gets.
- 4.9 out of 5 from more than 650 Shopify reviews — by far the most independent evidence on this page.
- A genuinely free tier, and $14.99 for a small catalogue.
- An MCP server and Shopify Sidekick integration at every paid tier.
- 4
Passcite Solo
This is us$49 / month for 3 client sites
30 buyer questions across three engines on each of three client sites, with the competitor that won each question named.
- Sites the plan coversYes
Three, at a flat $49 — the only flat per-site plan here that covers more than one site; Rank Prompt covers more brands but meters them in credits.
- Engines at this priceYes
ChatGPT (API), Perplexity and Gemini, the same three as our top plan. Nothing is held back by tier.
- Writes to the site at this priceNo
Nothing, at this price or any other. WordPress publishing is the next build; today every action comes with steps to do it yourself.
- What can go wrong on a client's sitePartly
Nothing can go wrong on a client's site because we do not touch it. That is safety by absence, not by design — the approval queue that would make it a real answer is unbuilt.
- Flat, or credits and quotasYes
Flat per client site. No credits, no article price, no task quota, so three sites is $49 whatever they ask.
- What you hit firstNo
The site count, and the step is steep: the fourth client site means the $199 Agency plan. There is nothing between three and fifteen.
Where we lose- Publishing: Foliora, Rank Prompt, StoreSEO, Geoa and overrank all write to a site under $100. We write nothing.
- The gap above: Foliora's $49.99 buys a complete loop on one site; our $49 buys a diagnosis on three. If you have one site, theirs is the better purchase.
- Engine count: Rank Prompt reaches six at $71.25.
- The jump from $49 to $199 with nothing in between is the worst pricing cliff on this page, and it is ours.
Where we are strong- Three client sites for $49, where everything else here is priced for one.
- 30 buyer questions against three engines on each site, with the competitor that won each one named.
- No credits and no quotas, so the number you quote a client is the number.
- All three engines on every tier, including the free one.
- 5
Geoa Starter
DKK 299 / month excluding VAT (≈$43)
Twenty-five AI questions monitored on one site, with fixes applied to the store (whether they wait for approval, we could not confirm).
- Sites the plan coversNo
One. There is no agency or multi-site tier at any price.
- Engines at this pricePartly
ChatGPT and Google AI on Starter. Perplexity and Copilot only from the DKK 799 plan.
- Writes to the site at this priceYes
Shopify and WordPress/WooCommerce, at the entry price.
- What can go wrong on a client's siteNo
Their pricing page lists auto-fix among the features of all three plans, and our 2026-09-10 note recorded fixes waiting for your approval with one-click undo. We have not tested the product and cannot say which governs — confirm it with them before putting it on a client site.
- Flat, or credits and quotasPartly
By questions monitored — 25 at this tier. Legible, but it is the breadth of the check rather than the volume of work.
- What you hit firstPartly
Twenty-five questions and weekly rescans. DKK 799 (≈$116) leaves this page and buys 100 questions, daily rescans and two more engines.
Where Geoa Starter wins- Publishing to Shopify and WooCommerce at ≈$43, the cheapest real write access here.
- Weekly rescans included at the entry price.
- Built and supported in Danish for a market the English-language tools do not serve.
- A free five-question scan with no commitment before you decide.
- 6
overrank
$25 / month self-serve, or from $29 per client seat, five seats minimum
One researched and published SEO article per day on one site, with no work required from you.
- Sites the plan coversPartly
One at $25. The agency rate starts at $29 per client seat and drops to $16.50 at volume, with five seats — $145 — as the self-serve floor, which is the best per-client number in this whole category but leaves this page.
- Engines at this priceNo
None. It optimises for Google and says articles can appear in AI Overviews; it does not ask an assistant anything, so there is no reading to report.
- Writes to the site at this priceYes
Every day, automatically, to the site's own domain. This is the entire product and it works.
- What can go wrong on a client's sitePartly
A per-client Auto-publish switch, on by default, and their agency page sells the hands-off setting rather than the switch. Left on — which is the product as sold — that is the bet you are taking on a client site.
- Flat, or credits and quotasYes
Flat. One site, one article a day, one price.
- What you hit firstYes
There is not really one at this price — it publishes daily indefinitely. The limit is what a daily article is worth to you.
Where overrank wins- The cheapest thing on this page, and the only one that produces published work every day for it.
- Genuinely zero ongoing effort once set up.
- Sixteen free tools around it that need no account.
- The agency rate underneath — $29 a client falling to $16.50 at fifty — is unmatched if you are reselling volume.
What this page leaves out, and why
A ranking that quietly omits a tool is doing the same thing as a ranking that scores itself first. Every tool we considered and did not rank is here with the reason.
Semrush and Ahrefs
Neither has an AI visibility tier under $100 — Semrush's cheapest plan with AI visibility is $117.33 billed annually and Ahrefs' AI Visibility Index starts at $199. Ahrefs does include custom prompt tracking free on any paid plan, which is covered on the Semrush and Ahrefs page.
Checked 2026-09-15
ChatSEO
Its entry plan is inside this range, but we could not reach chatseo.com on the date below to confirm the current price. Worth checking yourself.
Checked 2026-09-15
Profound, Peec, Scrunch, AEO Engine
Enterprise tracking and done-for-you retainers. None of them has a self-serve plan anywhere near this price.
Checked 2026-09-15
wptaskify
$19 to $99 and genuinely in range, but it is general WordPress maintenance with an approval queue rather than an AI search tool. It does not tell you why a client is not being recommended.
Checked 2026-09-15
Rows were last read on 2026-09-21. Prices in this category move quickly — each tool carries its own date above, so a stale row is visibly stale rather than quietly wrong. If one of these is out of date, tell us and we will re-check it.
