Partly. CogNerd measures the same signals — visibility, position, sentiment, citations — and covers Claude, DeepSeek and Grok, which Peec keeps for Enterprise. It does not track Google AI Overviews, AI Mode or Copilot, and its scheduled rescans run weekly rather than daily. The bigger difference is after measurement: audits, GEO files and content briefs.
CogNerd / Compare / Peec AI
Platform comparisonCogNerd vs Peec AI
Both tools watch how AI engines answer questions about your category. They part ways on what happens next: Peec hands you the report, CogNerd hands you the report and the briefs, drafts and site files that follow it.
Short version: pick Peec AI if you want Google’s AI surfaces and Copilot tracked daily with unlimited seats, and a team that acts on the data. Pick CogNerd if you want Claude, DeepSeek and Grok without an Enterprise contract, and the audit, GEO files and content briefs in the same tool.
Peec AI figures read from their public pricing in August 2026. CogNerd details checked 24 September 2026.
What an answer engine says about your category
Illustrative example of a generated answer, not live tracking data. CogNerd records the real ones from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, DeepSeek and Grok.
Three differences that decide most of these purchases
Everything else in the table below is detail. These are the ones people change their mind over.
Different engines on the menu
Peec lets you pick three of ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews, Copilot, Perplexity and Gemini, and charges $35 to $165 a month for each extra one. CogNerd covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, DeepSeek and Grok, up to three per analysis with no per-engine fee — including the three Peec keeps for Enterprise. It does not track Google’s AI surfaces or Copilot.
One stops at the report
Peec is analytics by design: visibility, position, sentiment, citation sources, competitor benchmarks. It does not audit your site, write anything, or generate the files AI crawlers read. CogNerd does those in the same workspace.
Daily tracking vs. end-to-end runs
Peec tracks every prompt daily and gives unlimited seats, which is real value for an in-house team. CogNerd prices by end-to-end runs — scan, audit, weak prompts and briefs — two a month on the $150 Starter plan, with weekly rescans from Growth up.
What engine coverage actually costs
Tick the engines you want watched. The Peec column adds the per-model fees its pricing page applies once you go past three; the CogNerd column shows which of your picks it tracks.

Claude isn't tracked on this Peec AI plan.Peec AI list prices, monthly billing, read August 2026: Starter $95, Pro $245, Advanced $495, with extra models at $35, $85 and $165 per model per month by tier. Annual billing takes roughly 15% off. Claude, Grok and DeepSeek sit outside the self-serve model menu. CogNerd Starter is $150 a month and Growth $299 (USD, monthly). Check both before you buy — this category reprices often.

Where each tool stops
Improving how AI answers about you is a loop. The useful question is not which tool measures better — it is how much of the loop you are still staffing yourself.
1
Measure
Track mentions, position, sentiment and citation sources across engines.
2
Diagnose
Work out which prompts you lose, to whom, and which sources are winning them.
3
Create
Write the pages and assets that answer those prompts properly.
4
Publish
Ship the markup, llms.txt and FAQ structure engines can actually read.
5
Re-measure
Check whether citations moved, then start again on what didn't.
Which one fits you
Written honestly, because a tool that fits badly churns in a quarter.
Choose CogNerd if
- You want Claude, DeepSeek and Grok tracked without moving to an enterprise contract.
- Nobody on the team has time to turn a visibility report into briefs and drafts.
- You want AI visibility sitting next to GA4 and Search Console numbers in one place.
- Your site still needs llms.txt, robots.txt and schema markup before engines can quote it.
- You also want SEO, social, paid media or web development from the same company.
Choose Peec AI if
- You have a content and SEO team already, and only the measurement layer is missing.
- You need Google AI Overviews, AI Mode or Copilot tracked.
- You want every prompt re-checked daily.
- Lots of people need dashboard access — unlimited seats on every plan is real value.
- Citation-source detail is the thing you're buying, and you want it best in class.
- You want to start at $95 a month and expand later.
