Honest comparison · June 2026
SearchByAI vs Peec AI
Peec AI is the venture-backed AI search analytics platform for marketing teams ($95+/mo). Here’s how the two actually differ — including where they beat us.
The short version
Peec is probably the best-designed analytics product in the category — gorgeous UI, receipts on everything, vicious shipping speed, $29M raised. It's also honest about its audience: marketing teams at brands that already have AI presence. Their cheapest plan costs more than our most expensive one, Claude is Enterprise-only, and their own reviewers note it tells you where you stand, not what to do. We're the other end of the telescope: built for brands starting from zero, with the fix as the product.
| Peec AI | SearchByAI | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | $95/mo Starter (1 project, choose 3 of 6 models) | Flat monthly plans — and the audit is free first |
| Model access | 3 models included; extras $35–$165/mo each; Claude Enterprise-only | Claude from Starter; all plan platforms included, no per-model fees |
| Action layer | Analytics + recommendations (data-first) | Ranked action plan, show-me-how workshops, downloadable finished fix files (llms.txt, robots.txt, schema, sitemap) |
| Proof | Movers dashboards + chat receipts (excellent) | Receipts on every score (the actual stored AI answers) + daily re-checks proving movement |
| Free option | Demo-led; no free tier | Free full audit + free any-domain check, no card |
| Built for | Marketing teams at brands with existing AI presence | Brands AI doesn't recommend yet |
Where Peec AI genuinely wins
- The UI — repeatedly called the best on the market in reviews, and we agree it's beautiful.
- Team features: unlimited seats on every plan, agency pitch workspaces, Looker integration.
- Shipping velocity and support quality (founder-level Slack access) that reviewers rave about.
Where SearchByAI wins
- Price reality: their floor sits above our public self-serve ladder. For a solo founder the comparison gets very simple.
- From-zero value: their product shines once you have presence to analyze. Ours starts at "nobody knows you" and hands you the climb.
- Claude without an Enterprise contract, and no $35–$165/mo per-model add-ons.
- An action layer: reviewers consistently describe Peec as monitoring, not optimization.
What public reviews say
- Reviews praise the interface and support, and consistently note it's data-first — you need your own GEO expertise to turn insights into action — with API/SSO gated to Enterprise.
The bottom line
Pick Peec if you're a marketing team with budget and existing AI presence to analyze. Pick SearchByAI if your brand is earlier than that — and you want the fixes, not just the dashboards.
