SEOLOK vs Otterly.AI: who tracks your brand in AI answers, and how?

Otterly.AI is a monitoring tool built for one job: following how AI search engines mention and cite a brand, every day, across up to seven engines. SEOLOK is a Google rank tracker with Search Console analytics, a site audit and client reports, which also asks your questions to three AI engines once a week. They overlap only in AI visibility, so this page compares that part and says plainly where each one stops.

If AI visibility is the main thing you want to measure, Otterly.AI covers more: daily tracking, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot in every plan (from $29 a month for 15 prompts), sentiment and share of voice. SEOLOK measures three engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode) weekly, on its Pro ($49) and Agency ($149) plans, next to Google rank tracking in the same subscription. Choose by what you need beside the AI numbers.

Which one to choose

Choose SEOLOK if

  • You want Google rankings and AI visibility in one subscription: Pro ($49 a month) tracks 300 keywords daily on up to 10 sites and asks 15 questions per site to three AI engines every week.
  • You care about ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode, and a weekly reading is enough for the decisions you make.
  • You want numbers that say how sure they are: each rate comes with its likely range, nothing is shown below 6 measured answers, and a change is computed only on the question and engine pairs measured in both periods.
  • You manage several small sites: every site on Pro or Agency gets its own question list, and the result goes into the monthly report under your own brand.
  • You work in Turkish: the interface, the reports and support are in Turkish and English.

Choose Otterly.AI if

  • AI visibility is the job itself, not a side panel: Otterly.AI collects answers daily where SEOLOK collects them weekly.
  • You need Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot or Google AI Overviews: they are in every Otterly.AI plan and SEOLOK does not measure them. Claude is available there as an add-on.
  • You track more than 20 questions for one brand: its plans go to 100, 400 and from 1,000 prompts, where SEOLOK stops at 20 per site.
  • You want sentiment, share of voice or an average rank, which SEOLOK does not compute.
  • You want the data elsewhere: an API, an MCP server and a Looker Studio connector are listed from Standard.

What Otterly.AI is

Otterly.AI calls itself an AI search monitoring and optimisation platform. You give it a set of search prompts, the questions a buyer might type into an AI assistant, and it runs them every day, stores each answer and scores what happened: which brands were named, in what order, in what tone, and which pages were cited. Its help centre says the answers are collected as if a real user were searching from within the country you set.

Its pricing page lists four plans. Lite costs $29 a month for 15 search prompts, Standard $189 for 100 and Premium $489 for 400; Enterprise starts from 1,000 prompts at a custom price. Billed annually the same plans are $25, $160 and $422 a month. Every plan tracks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot daily and includes unlimited team members; Google AI Mode, Gemini and Claude are sold as add-ons.

Around the monitoring it lists a prompt research tool that suggests prompts from a topic or a URL, a GEO audit that checks 19 AI crawlers against your robots.txt, a content audit, ChatGPT Ads tracking and, from Standard, Agent Analytics for the AI crawlers visiting your site. It does not list a Google rank tracker: the two products meet only where AI answers are concerned.

How SEOLOK tracks AI visibility

In SEOLOK, AI visibility tracking is one module of a wider tool. Each site has a list of questions. Once a week, on Monday, every question is asked to ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode as a logged-out user in the site's country and language, and you can start a run by hand at any time. The answers are read by code, not by a second model, and five things are recorded: is your brand named, is your domain cited, which other brands are named, which sites are cited, and which of your pages are cited.

The module is careful about what a small sample can say. A rate is shown with its likely range (a 95% interval), no number is shown below 6 measured answers, and a change between two periods is computed only on the question and engine pairs measured in both. It reports no rank or average position and no sentiment.

  • Where the questions come from: you write them, or pick from your tracked keywords, your Search Console queries or brand templates.
  • A "What to do?" card: AI search crawlers blocked in robots.txt, a missing or weak page, sources that cite others and not you, a competitor that dominates the answers.
  • Alerts on a real drop or rise and when a crawler is blocked, and a section in the monthly PDF report under your own brand.
  • Plans: on Pro (15 questions per site) and Agency (20 per site); not on Free or Tracker.

Engines, frequency, countries and languages

On engines the two lists overlap only in part. ChatGPT is measured by both. Gemini and Google AI Mode are included in SEOLOK and cost extra at Otterly.AI: $9 a month each on Lite, $59 on Standard and $149 on Premium. Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Google AI Overviews are in every Otterly.AI plan and are not measured by SEOLOK at all. Claude is an Otterly.AI add-on ($29, $109 or $439 a month by plan), which its help centre says is tracked through the API with web search.

On frequency the difference is simple: Otterly.AI lists daily tracking on every plan, SEOLOK runs weekly. AI answers vary from one request to the next, so more readings give a steadier picture sooner; a weekly reading needs a few weeks before a trend is worth acting on.

On markets, Otterly.AI's help centre lists 70+ countries with a table of engines per country, and says monitoring works in any language because the prompt is sent exactly as you wrote it. In that table Turkey has every engine except Google AI Overviews. Its prompt research tool supports a fixed list of languages, and Turkish is on it. SEOLOK measures in the site's own country and language, Turkish and Türkiye included, at country level only. Whether Otterly.AI's interface or support is available in Turkish is not listed on the pages we read; SEOLOK's are in Turkish and English.

Where Otterly.AI is stronger

For AI visibility as a discipline of its own, Otterly.AI is the fuller product:

  • Engines. Up to seven, with Perplexity, Copilot and AI Overviews in every plan; SEOLOK measures three.
  • Frequency. Daily on every plan; SEOLOK is weekly.
  • Volume. 100 prompts on Standard, 400 on Premium, from 1,000 on Enterprise; SEOLOK allows 15 or 20 questions per site.
  • Metrics. Share of voice, average rank and sentiment scored as positive, neutral or negative; SEOLOK reports none of the three.
  • Prompt research. Prompt suggestions from a topic or URL, grouped by intent, and a workflow that turns Search Console queries into prompts.
  • Optimisation tooling. A GEO audit against 19 AI crawlers, a content audit and a queue of on-page and off-page recommendations (3 a week on Lite, unlimited from Standard).
  • Integrations and team. API, MCP and Looker Studio from Standard, unlimited team members on every plan, and an agency partner programme with 150 or 500 prompts.

What it costs for the same job

Prices are for monthly billing, as each company lists them on the day we checked. Otterly.AI gives 15% off for annual billing ($25 a month for Lite); SEOLOK charges ten months for twelve. The two prices do not buy the same thing: an Otterly.AI plan is AI monitoring only, a SEOLOK plan is rank tracking, analytics, audit and reports with the AI module inside, so read each row for what it includes.

What each job costs at the two companies
What you trackSEOLOK and Otterly.AI
15 questions for one brandSEOLOK: Pro, $49 a month, three engines, weekly, with rank tracking for 300 keywords. Otterly.AI: Lite, $29 a month, four engines, daily.
The same 15 questions, with Gemini and Google AI ModeSEOLOK: Pro, $49 a month, both included. Otterly.AI: Lite with two add-ons at $9 each, $47 a month, six engines, daily.
15 questions on each of 10 client sitesSEOLOK: Pro, $49 a month (up to 10 sites, 15 questions per site). Otterly.AI: Lite has 1 workspace and 15 prompts in total; Standard, $189 a month, has 100 prompts and unlimited workspaces.
100 questions for one brandSEOLOK: not covered, 20 per site is the limit. Otterly.AI: Standard, $189 a month.
Google rankings only, no AI trackingSEOLOK: Tracker, $19 a month, 100 keywords daily. Otterly.AI: not listed.

For one brand and AI visibility alone, Otterly.AI Lite costs less than SEOLOK Pro ($29 against $49) and collects answers on more engines and more often. SEOLOK Pro costs less than Otterly.AI Standard ($49 against $189), but with 15 questions per site instead of 100 prompts and weekly instead of daily. Which one is the lower bill depends on whether you would pay for a rank tracker anyway.

How to decide in five minutes

  1. Write down the engines your customers use. If Perplexity, Copilot or AI Overviews are on the list, only Otterly.AI measures them; if ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode are enough, both do.
  2. Decide how often you would act on the numbers. A daily reading suits a team that works on AI visibility every week; a weekly reading suits an owner or agency that reviews it with the monthly report.
  3. Count your questions. Up to 20 per site fits SEOLOK; 100 or more for one brand needs Otterly.AI Standard ($189) or higher.
  4. List what else you pay for. If you need Google rank tracking, Search Console history and client reports as well, SEOLOK has them in the same plan; Otterly.AI lists none of them, so you would keep a second tool.
  5. Try both without paying: SEOLOK's free AI visibility checker asks one question live to the three engines without sign-up, and Pro is free for 14 days. Otterly.AI offers a free trial with no credit card.
