Side by side
| Topic | AEOprobe | OtterlyAI |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | AEOprobe The free audit covers up to 3 pages and needs no sign-up. A saved-site audit costs 20 credits. It covers up to 10 pages on Free and 50 on Watch or Pro. A free account shows 5 findings for each site, and a paid plan shows them all. | OtterlyAI
|
| Technical checks | AEOprobe AEOprobe checks robots.txt policies for 20 named AI crawlers. It reports findings across 10 categories. JSON-LD checks cover malformed JSON, detected types and supported required fields. The audit does not parse Microdata or RDFa. | OtterlyAI GEO Audit evaluates server and robots.txt access, static versus dynamic content, content structure and structured data. It adds readiness recommendations. |
| Working with findings | AEOprobe A saved-site finding becomes a to-do with the evidence, what to change and how to check it. You or your developer publish the edits, then run a scoped technical recheck. Claude Code and Codex can work in the same flow. Any action that spends credits asks for your confirmation first. | OtterlyAI You track selected prompts and cited pages over time. Then you review GEO findings and recommendations. |
| Pricing | AEOprobe
Credit pack prices:
Credit packs add extra credits to a Watch or Pro plan. Only customers with an active Watch or Pro plan can buy them. Monthly credits are used first. Bought credits stay valid for 12 months after purchase, even if your plan ends. They can still pay for audits and checks after your plan ends. They do not open the full lists without an active Watch or Pro plan. A page capture or recheck costs 1 credit. Your account shows what you can buy. Prices in EUR | OtterlyAI
Prices in USD, billed monthly |
| Limits | AEOprobe A technical finding or score does not explain why a brand is missing from an AI answer. AEOprobe does not measure live citations. No audit guarantees indexing, rankings or citations. | OtterlyAI Four core engines are included: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot. Claude, Gemini and Google AI Mode are extra add-ons. |
If you use both
Keep findings and visibility apart
Record the page, the change and the date. Recheck the technical finding after you publish.
Mentions have several causes
A change in monitored mentions can have several causes. It does not prove that one edit caused it.
Google’s official AI search guidance (opens in a new tab) explains that generative search does not require special schema or AI-specific writing patterns.

Questions
Must I fix every audit finding before monitoring?
No. Technical audits and visibility measurement answer different questions. You can run them side by side. Prioritize findings by evidence and by what your site needs.
