RankCLI vs Peec AI
Peec AI measures how a brand shows up in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Mode answers for the prompts and countries you track, against competitors, and sells it by prompt volume to marketing teams and agencies. RankCLI audits the site: crawler access fetched as each bot, metadata, structured data, sitemaps, and a CI gate that fails a deploy which blocks a crawler. One measures the answer; the other keeps the source readable.

8 aspects
| Aspect | RankCLI | Peec AI |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An SEO and AI-search audit for developers: 280+ checks from the CLI, a GitHub Action with a CI gate, an MCP server for coding agents, and fixes as pull requests. It checks whether crawlers can read the site; it does not track what assistants say about a brand. | AI visibility tracking for brands: prompts tracked daily across assistants and countries, with competitor comparison, sources and an entity map. |
| Price | CLI, Action, MCP server and local fixes free forever. Hosted: Free (1 site weekly, 3 auto-fix PRs a month), Solo $9/mo, Pro $29/mo, Agency $99/mo. | Starter $95/mo (50 prompts, 1 country, 1 project), Pro $245/mo (150 prompts, 3 countries, 2 projects), Advanced $495/mo (350 prompts, 5 projects, API, Data Studio); Enterprise custom; agency pricing separate. |
| Free offering | The full audit of one page with every finding and no sign-up (rankcli.dev/free-audit), six free tool pages, the CLI with every check, and a Free hosted plan with a weekly audit and alerts. | A free trial from the app (length and card requirement not stated on the public pages); no free standalone tool found. |
| What it tracks | The site itself: crawler access fetched as each bot (search, AI search, user-triggered, training), metadata, structured data, sitemaps, Core Web Vitals, internal links, security headers; a score per category and the history of it. | Prompts: visibility, mentions, citations, sentiment and competitors per assistant and country, daily. |
| Fixes | Opens a pull request with the fix on a connected repository (the first one on the Free plan runs on RankCLI's own model key); local fixes with `rankcli fix`. | Insights and "AI instructions" guidance; no code changes. |
| CI and agents | `--fail-on` gate in the CLI and the Action, with baselines; Claude Code plugin, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT through the MCP server; Astro, Nuxt, Next.js and Vite plugins audit the build output. | API and a Looker Studio connector on Advanced, an MCP server, for reporting; no CI gate. |
| Who it is for | Developers and the agencies who serve them. | "Marketing teams", "SEO teams" and agencies; "trusted by 4000+ brands and agencies"; agency, creator and media partnerships. |
| Data | A weekly public dataset of the 400 most popular npm packages' sites (rankcli.dev/data/npm-sites), rebuildable from the public scripts. | Studies from its own tracking data (fan-outs, entity maps). |
