The short version

Otterly AI is a clean daily tracker with an app in the Semrush App Center. Lite is $29 for 15 prompts on four engines (ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot) and Standard is $189 for 100. Gemini, Google AI Mode and Claude are paid add-ons, so all seven of its engines on Standard come to $416 a month.

What 100 prompts a day on every engine costs
A sticker price says little until you hold the job constant. Here the job is the one a serious team usually lands on: 100 buyer prompts, checked every day, on every engine the tool will track without a custom contract. Every price is the US-dollar price printed on the vendor’s own page, dated; where a vendor publishes no US price to us, it is left out and the row says so.
Honeyb: honeyb.ai/pricing, checked 12 Oct 2026. Otterly AI: otterly.ai/pricing, checked 12 Oct 2026. An answer is one prompt run once on one engine.
The comparison turns on the add-ons. On Standard, Gemini and Google AI Mode cost $59 a month each and Claude $109, so seven engines come to $416. Honeyb's $199 runs the same 100 prompts on eight engines, Grok and DeepSeek included: 24,000 answers a month at about $0.008 each, for less than half the price of Otterly's full set, with ranked fixes and a Content Agent included.

Where Honeyb pulls ahead of Otterly AI
- All 8 engines on one price. Full Spectrum ($199/mo) runs 100 prompts daily on ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews, where Otterly Standard is $189 on four engines and $416 with all seven
- Ranked fixes on every plan, drawn from visibility, citation and content signals, so the Monday question has an answer
- A Content Agent that drafts and publishes 5 to 30 articles a month to your CMS, closing the gaps the tracking finds
- Source citation tracking with a domain-level breakdown, so outreach starts from the pages AI actually reads
The most common reason teams outgrow a tracker is the Monday question: what do we do about it? Honeyb answers it on every plan with fixes ranked by expected impact.

Then the Content Agent researches the article each gap calls for, drafts it and publishes it to your CMS: 5 a month on The Minimum, 30 on Full Spectrum.

And when someone asks why a number moved, the prompt detail shows each engine's answer, your position in it and every brand named beside you.

How to move from Otterly AI to Honeyb
Teams usually move from Otterly when they want more engines without stacking add-ons, or when they need the tool to tell them what to do. The move is light, because the prompt list is the only real asset.
- 1
Copy your prompts and competitors
Export or copy your Otterly prompt list and the brands you track. Keep the last month of results for context; trend lines start fresh in any new tool.
- 2
Match the plan to your engine list
If you used Otterly's four engines, Multi-Model ($79, 50 prompts daily, any three of the eight) is the closest step. If you were paying for Gemini, AI Mode or Claude add-ons, Full Spectrum ($199, 100 prompts daily, all eight) usually replaces Standard plus add-ons.
- 3
Keep Semrush for SEO
Honeyb does not replace Semrush; it replaces the AI tracking app inside it. Keep your SEO workflow where it is and send AI visibility questions to Honeyb.
- 4
Run a parallel week
Compare ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews across both tools for seven days. Daily answers vary, so judge the whole week.
- 5
Work the first recommendations
Accept the top three ranked fixes, publish the first Content Agent articles and send the cited-source list to whoever owns PR. That is the part a tracker leaves to you.
The bottom line
Honeyb runs 100 prompts a day on eight engines for $199, less than half the $416 Otterly charges for its seven, and pairs every finding with a ranked fix and a published article. It is the plan that keeps paying off as the job grows.
