Where Peec AI's pricing bites: extra engines are add-ons
- On Peec AI Starter, Pro and Advanced, you choose 3 engines from ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI.
- On those plans Peec AI sells ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Copilot, Perplexity and Gemini as add-ons: $35 a month for each engine on Starter, $85 on Pro and $165 on Advanced.
- Peec AI sells Perplexity only as an add-on on those plans.
- On Starter, Pro and Advanced, Claude is not one of the models. Peec AI offers it on Enterprise, at a custom price, and on its Scale and Comprehensive plans for agencies (agency pricing).
So on Peec AI, moving up a plan for more questions also raises the price of each engine you add. BotSay includes all six engines on every plan, and moving up changes one thing: the number of questions. Below is an invented brand's Mention rate on each of the six engines, and across all six.
- ChatGPT41.3%
- Perplexity37.8%
- Google AI Mode33.4%
- Gemini33.2%
- Claude29.9%
- Google AI Overviews28.4%
Example, using an invented brand
Peec AI does not publish a likely range or a statistical test for a real change
On Starter, Pro and Advanced, Peec AI runs your questions every day and shows each change against the previous period as a green or red arrow (its metrics overview). Its own docs say "Focus on trends over weeks rather than daily changes" (understanding chats). Peec AI's docs publish no likely range and no statistical test for when a change is real. The arrow shows that a figure moved, not whether the move is larger than chance alone would give, so more daily reads do not tell you on their own whether you moved.
BotSay asks the same questions of the same six engines every week and compares the week with the one before. Your Mention rate comes with its likely range, the span the true rate almost certainly sits in, and the number of answers behind it. When the rate moves, BotSay runs the exact test on both weeks and labels the change as real once it clears their combined uncertainty. That test also catches real changes whose ranges overlap a little. Share of voice, Average rank, Your pages cited and Sentiment show each week's figure and how it moved. Below, an invented brand's two weekly ranges sit clear of each other.
The figures as a table
| Week | Mention rate | Likely range (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Last week | 27.8% | 25.1 to 30.7 |
| This week | 34.0% | 31.1 to 37.0 |

Peec AI reads most engines as a logged-out web visitor
Peec AI reads most engines through their public web pages, as a logged-out user (its introduction). BotSay asks all six engines through each provider's official developer access or a licensed search-data provider, with web search switched on where the engine offers it. The questions, engines and method stay the same from week to week, so each reading compares cleanly with the one before. For every answer, BotSay shows the searches the engine ran to write it, on the answers and sources view.
BotSay ranks the work by how many questions it could win
Peec AI rates its actions from Very low to Very high against your other actions, and marks on a graph the day an action was started or done. Its docs publish no statistical test for when a change after an action is real.
BotSay's action list gives each item the number of your questions it could win, with the answers that show it:
- Pages to write: topics where rivals are named and you are not.
- Places to be mentioned: the review sites, communities and publishers the engines lean on, and whether you are on them.
- Quick decisions: small choices that make your numbers more accurate, like confirming which sites are yours.
Once you publish, BotSay follows the questions that work was meant to win and labels the change in Mention rate when it is real.
What you gain with BotSay
- All six engines on every plan, Perplexity and Claude included, at one fixed monthly price.
- As many questions or more, for less a month, on every plan.
- A likely range and answer count on your Mention rate, and a label when a change is real.
- A list of work sized by how many questions each item could win.
- The same questions, engines and method every week, so each reading compares cleanly.
