The real question is not which brand is best. It is who does the work, at what depth, for which buyer. Tools measure, agencies advise, services execute. Plact is on this list, and Plact wrote this page, so read our entry the way you would check anyone else's. Every price below was read from the vendor's own materials in August 2026.
One distinction sorts the whole market: execution versus measurement. A dashboard does not write pages.

One of the first companies in this category. Their agents research buyer searches, publish pages at volume and report leads, with plans published from $800 a month, no contracts, and most of their 300+ customers US businesses.
Pick Gushwork if: You are a US small business in a lead-driven trade, you want high page volume at a low entry price, and your products do not need deep technical proof.
The measurement heavyweight, with the governance features large organizations ask for. It executes nothing: the pages, citations and fixes remain your team's job.
Pick Profound if: You are enterprise or multi-brand and need defensible measurement before, or alongside, execution.
Clean visibility analytics across the major AI platforms, with unlimited users on paid tiers. Turning the data into content and fixes stays with your team.
Pick Peec if: You already have content production handled and need visibility data for a whole team.
The cheapest realistic way to see where you stand, monitoring mentions and citations across the main AI engines. Nothing gets written, rewritten or published.
Pick Otterly.AI if: You only need to know when AI engines mention you, or you are validating the channel before paying anyone to work it.
An SEO platform that added AI search tracking and content drafting, so Google rankings and AI answers sit in one subscription, from $199 a month on annual billing. Checking, rewriting and publishing stay with your team.
Pick Writesonic if: You have content operations capacity in-house and want SEO and AI search handled in one tool.
A Y Combinator-backed platform that tracks where your brand appears in AI answers and suggests fixes. The free Essential tier lets you self-assess first; the paid Starter plan at $295 a month adds deeper tracking.
Pick Athena if: You want a free starting point to self-assess before committing any budget.
Tracks your brand across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity, with content generation and site audits bundled in, from $125 a month with a 14-day free trial. Your team still decides what gets published.
Pick Searchable if: You want monitoring and content drafting in one mid-priced tool, and your team can act on what it shows.
Arms your own team with visibility dashboards and AI-drafted content workflows. You keep editorial control, and the workload.
Pick AirOps if: You have at least one content operator in-house to drive it.
Credible agencies that added AI-answer work to existing service lines. Useful for one partner across the whole funnel; heavier than most suppliers need.
Pick Full-service if: You are mid-market or larger, already spending on paid channels, and want one agency relationship.
Plact is the AI partner for B2B suppliers. It learns your approved product knowledge, researches what your buyers ask on Google and AI search, publishes the proof they check, and captures enquiries with the detail your team needs to quote. Not an SEO agency, not a dashboard. The work is done for you, and every claim stays traceable to a source.
Pick Plact if: you manufacture, export or supply products buyers verify before enquiring, you have no marketing team, and you want one partner accountable for the whole path from buyer search to qualified enquiry.
Yes. They are venture-backed, publish their pricing, report 300+ paying customers, and their case studies name real businesses. The question is not legitimacy. It is whether a general small-business volume approach fits a supplier whose buyers verify technical proof.
Their published plans start at $800 a month, with higher tiers above that and discounts on annual billing, checked against their pricing page in August 2026. Re-check their page before deciding. Pricing changes without notice.
Otterly.AI starts at $29 a month for monitoring. Remember what monitoring is: a subscription that tells you the problem exists. Fixing it is separate work.
Ask who does the work. A tool measures where you stand and leaves the writing, proof and publishing on your desk. A done-for-you service does that work. A dashboard does not write pages.
For industrial suppliers, yes in kind: both do the work rather than hand you a dashboard. The difference is focus. Plact is built only for B2B suppliers whose buyers check specifications, certificates and capacity before they enquire, and it starts with a free review of what buyers can verify about you today.
