Cheapest tool that tracks AI answers daily rather than weekly

Cheapest I found: DoIShowUp — $9/month for 10 prompts checked daily across ChatGPT and Google AI Mode. It offers a 7-day free trial and is month-to-month. (doishowup.com)

If you’re okay with annual billing, PromptRepeat’s Lite plan is $24/month for up to 250 prompts and 500 checks monthly, with daily schedules—but that’s a larger allowance, not the cheapest entry price. (promptrepeat.com)

Bottom line: DoIShowUp is the lowest-priced clearly listed option I found for daily tracking. If you need other AI platforms besides ChatGPT and Google AI Mode, the cheapest fit may differ.

Short answer: Rankscale and Otterly.AI are the cheapest options that clearly offer daily checks. Keyword.com may be cheaper still, but its sources disagree on price.

• Rankscale (about $20/mo): One review describes it as starting around $20 a month on a credit model, where each engine query typically costs 0.25 credits per engine per prompt, and prompts can run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. You choose the cadence, but you'll need to estimate your credit usage before buying.
• Otterly.AI Lite ($29/mo, or about $25 billed annually): This is the most common recommendation for a low-cost daily tracker. It tracks 15 prompts on 4 engines and covers ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot. The limit is 15 prompts, so it suits a small set of key queries rather than a full category.
• Keyword.com (from about $9.80 to $26/mo): One source says Keyword.com from $9.80 is the lowest bill, while another puts its 360° Visibility plan at $26/month with the AI-only plan starts at $31.17/month. Check the live pricing page before relying on either figure. It's a good fit if you already use it for Google rank tracking.
• Cituna ($49/mo): Every plan checks ChatGPT daily with Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, so it covers the most engines for the price, though it's a newer tool.

Avoid the cheapest-looking plans that refresh weekly. For example, one free tier updates weekly, and the paid tiers on that page update only a few days a week.

My pick: Start with Otterly Lite if 15 prompts covers what you need. If you need more prompts or engines, compare Rankscale's credit math against Cituna's $49 flat plan. Prices change often, so confirm the daily-refresh claim on each vendor's site before you pay, and use free trials where they exist.

To track how your brand appears in AI answers (such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini) on a daily basis, several affordable options exist.

When selecting a tool, be mindful that "cheapest" can be deceptive because many platforms charge based on the number of prompts, checks, or engines used.

Top Affordable Options for Daily Tracking

As of late 2026, the following tools are frequently cited for their low entry costs and daily monitoring capabilities:

• Otterly.AI: Often cited as one of the lowest entry-price options, with plans starting at approximately $29/month. This plan typically includes daily tracking for a limited number of prompts and four major AI engines. Note that adding more engines or advanced features may require an upgrade.
• ZipTie.ai: Recognized for having a very competitive price point, with entry options starting around $25–$27/month. It focuses on UI-simulated tracking, which provides a more accurate view of what a user actually sees compared to some API-only tools.
• Rankscale: Offers an "Essentials" plan for approximately $17/month (if billed annually), which supports up to 480 AI answers per month. It allows for daily sampling and categorizes prompts by the customer journey stage (Awareness, Consideration, Purchase).
• Geoptie: Offers a starter plan at around $49/month that includes daily tracking across any 4 of 7 supported AI engines for up to two brands.

Important Considerations Before You Buy

• Check the "Cost-Per-Check": Don't look at the monthly fee alone. If you track 50 prompts daily across 4 engines, you are performing 200 checks per day. Ensure your chosen plan covers this volume, or your costs will escalate quickly.
• Engine Coverage: Ensure the tool explicitly covers the AI models your audience uses. "AI Overviews" and "AI Mode" are different surfaces; some cheaper plans only cover standard chat interfaces.
• Existing Tool Suites: If you already pay for Semrush or SE Ranking, check your existing dashboard. Both now include AI visibility tracking features that may be "free" or significantly cheaper than adding a standalone, dedicated tool.
• Methodology: Look for tools that use "UI simulation" or "browser-level rendering" rather than just API calls. API results and what a real user sees in a chat interface can differ significantly.

Recommendation: If your budget is the primary constraint, Rankscale or Otterly.AI are your best starting points. If you need high accuracy for a specific brand narrative, consider ZipTie.ai for its focus on UI-based verification.

GetIntel Monitor and Otterly.ai Lite appear to be the cheapest straightforward options at $29/month with daily tracking. GetIntel lists 25 daily-tracked prompts, while Otterly Lite lists 15; so GetIntel looks like better value if its included AI engines suit you. ⁴

If you need only a few prompts and want the lowest possible cost, BrandAxis offers pay-as-you-go daily tracking, starting at $0.51 per prompt-and-model tracker per month, plus a $1 monthly base fee. ⁶
