Honeyb vs SE Ranking (2026): All 8 AI Engines vs Its 5

Feature by feature, with sources

15 rows, each read from the vendor’s own page on the date shown. Honeyb’s column comes from honeyb.ai/pricing, checked 12 Oct 2026. Rows tagged “Honeyb ahead” are where Honeyb gives you more for the money.

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. SE Ranking: seranking.com/subscription.html, last read with a US price, checked 2 Oct 2026. An answer is one prompt run once on one engine.

Honeyb's $199 buys 24,000 answers a month on eight engines, 9,000 more than Core's 15,000, and adds the three engines SE Ranking does not track: Claude, Grok and DeepSeek. With recommendations built from AI signals and a Content Agent included, it is the better buy for the AI visibility job. Keep the SEO suite you already use for SEO.

SE Ranking at a glance

• Pricing: Core $129 a month ($103.20 billed annually), Growth $279
• Engines: 5 AI models (AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity); no Claude, Grok or DeepSeek
• API: 25,000 research API credits and MCP access on Core
• Notable: a classic SEO suite with rank tracking, backlinks and site audits

Where Honeyb pulls ahead of SE Ranking

• AI visibility is the whole product. Every feature and every release is about how AI engines choose brands, where SE Ranking balances AI against 30-plus SEO tools
• All 8 engines monitored daily on Full Spectrum: Claude, Grok and DeepSeek included. SE Ranking's plans cover 5 models
• Recommendations built from AI signals (which pages the engines cite, where rivals win) and ranked by impact, plus a Content Agent that publishes the fixes. Enterprise adds a monthly strategy call focused on AI visibility
• Unlimited seats from Multi-Model ($79), so the whole team can work in it; SE Ranking's Core includes one manager seat

Honeyb starts from the answer rather than the keyword. Rankings lists every brand the engines name for your buyers' questions, with share of voice and average position across all eight engines.

Then it ranks what to change. The recommendations are built from AI signals, which pages the engines cite and where competitors win, so they read differently from an SEO audit.

Both tools track the sources behind AI answers. Honeyb adds Claude, Grok and DeepSeek to that picture, which often cite a different set of sites from Google's surfaces.

How to move from SE Ranking to Honeyb

Most teams do not leave SE Ranking for Honeyb; they keep it for SEO and move the AI visibility work. That makes the switch an addition, and the main decision is which prompts to carry over.

1. 1

   Keep SE Ranking for SEO

   Your rankings, backlinks and audits stay where they are. If the AI module is the only part you used, you can drop to the plan that fits your SEO needs.

2. 2

   Export your AI prompts

   Core allows up to 50,000 rows of data export. Take the tracked prompts, the AI sources report and the competitor domains you research.

3. 3

   Set up a Honeyb workspace with the missing engines

   Start Full Spectrum to add Claude, Grok and DeepSeek to the five engines you already track, or Multi-Model if three engines are enough. Paste your prompts and add the questions buyers ask in their own words.

4. 4

   Compare the shared engines for a week

   Line up Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity across both tools for seven days. Judge the week, because answers vary between identical runs.

5. 5

   Work the AI-specific fixes

   Accept Honeyb's top ranked recommendations, queue the first Content Agent articles and hand the cited-source list to whoever runs outreach. SE Ranking keeps measuring the classic SEO side.
