Affordable tracking of brand mentions and cited URLs across seven AI engines, with recommendations and a GEO audit.

7.8/10

Checked 12 November 2026

Verdict: The cheapest credible way to start tracking AI citations; outgrow it when you need volume or the API.

What it does

Otterly.AI checks your prompts across AI engines on a credit model, stores each answer and tracks every URL cited. It gives weekly optimisation recommendations, a GEO audit of crawlability and content, prompt research tools and, from Standard up, Agent Analytics, an API and an MCP server.

Who it suits

Small teams and solo marketers who want to start tracking AI citations on a low, published budget.

Who should skip it

You need the API or MCP on the entry plan; both start at Standard.
