AIV Report vs Otterly.ai
Otterly.ai is one of the most established AI search monitoring platforms — trusted, by their count, by more than 30,000 marketing professionals, rated 4.8 on G2, and named a 2025 Gartner Cool Vendor for AI in Marketing. If you run a marketing team or an agency, it is a serious product.
AIV Report is built for a different person: the small business owner who wants one answer right now — when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity who to choose, does AI name you? Free, instant, no account. Here is how the two compare, with sources, as of July 2026.
The facts, side by side
| AIV Report | Otterly.ai | |
|---|---|---|
| Checking your business costs | Free instant report — no account, no card | Free GEO mini-tools and an account trial; the monitoring platform starts at $29/mo (Lite) |
| Getting started | Paste your URL — we extract your business profile, you confirm it with one tap | Create an account, set up a workspace and prompts |
| Prompts | 10 buyer-discovery prompts generated from your site, written in its language and anchored to your market | A prompt research tool plus your own prompt library; 15 prompts on the Lite plan |
| AI engines included | ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity — all four, grounded with live web search | ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot on base plans; Claude, Gemini and AI Mode are paid add-ons (Claude adds $29/mo on Lite) |
| What you see | Every prompt, every answer excerpt, every source the models cited — the raw evidence is the report | Monitoring dashboards: brand mentions, citation analytics, visibility trends |
| Monitoring | A free re-scan every 7 days; weekly automated monitoring is in development | Daily tracking with trends, alerts, exports, API and MCP |
| Built for | Small business owners — self-serve, no marketing team required | Marketing teams and agencies |
Where we’re different
- A full report with zero friction: no account, no form, no trial clock — paste a URL and read the evidence in about a minute.
- Claude and Gemini are included free. On Otterly's Lite plan, adding Claude alone costs more than our entire free report.
- Buyer-discovery prompts: we ask the questions your customers ask, in the language your site is written in — a Portuguese business gets Portuguese prompts measured against Portuguese peers.
- Every claim in the report is auditable: the exact prompts, answer excerpts and cited sources are shown, and reports are public-by-link so you can share the evidence.
Where Otterly.ai is stronger today
- Engine coverage: Google AI Overviews, AI Mode and Copilot are engines we do not track yet.
- Continuous monitoring: daily tracking, trend graphs, alerts and exports exist there today; our weekly monitoring is still in development.
- Scale and ecosystem: 50+ countries, unlimited team members, a Looker Studio connector, API and MCP access, an agency partner program.
- A track record: thousands of customers, G2 reviews and case studies we simply don't have yet.
