Quick Verdict
SE Visible and Promptmonitor both track how AI models mention your brand, but they come from completely different worlds. SE Visible is SE Ranking's dedicated AI visibility module — built for agencies already deep in the SE Ranking ecosystem. Promptmonitor is a standalone startup that launched in 2025 with a focus on affordability and breadth.
The choice basically comes down to whether you want AI tracking integrated into your existing SEO platform or prefer a specialized tool that covers more AI models for less money. SE Visible makes sense if you're already paying for SE Ranking. Promptmonitor works better if you want AI visibility tracking without committing to a full SEO suite.

Feature Comparison
Promptmonitor covers 8+ AI models including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and Perplexity. SE Visible focuses on the big four: ChatGPT, Google AIO, Claude, and Gemini. But here's where it gets interesting — Promptmonitor includes publisher contact extraction from AI-cited sources, which SE Visible doesn't offer. That's huge for outreach teams who want to connect with sites that AI models are actually citing. SE Visible's strength lies in prompt-level monitoring and competitive benchmarking. You can see exactly which prompts trigger mentions of your brand versus competitors. Promptmonitor takes a different approach with its AI crawler analytics and llms.txt generator — tools that help you optimize for AI discovery rather than just track existing mentions. The unlimited team seats in Promptmonitor also beat SE Visible's typical SE Ranking user limits.
Pricing Comparison
SE Visible comes bundled with SE Ranking subscriptions, so you're looking at SE Ranking's pricing structure starting around $65/month for their Essential plan. Promptmonitor starts at $29/month for the Starter plan and goes up to $129/month for Pro. The Promptmonitor Growth plan at $39/month likely covers most small business needs. If you're already paying for SE Ranking, SE Visible adds value without additional cost. But if you only need AI visibility tracking, paying $65+ monthly for SE Ranking just to access SE Visible makes no financial sense when Promptmonitor delivers more AI model coverage at $29-39/month.
Best For
SE Visible works best for established SEO agencies and enterprises already invested in the SE Ranking platform. The integration is seamless, competitive benchmarking is solid, and you won't need to train your team on another tool. It's the obvious choice if SE Ranking handles your core SEO work. Promptmonitor suits businesses that want dedicated AI visibility tracking without platform lock-in. The publisher contact extraction feature alone justifies the cost for content teams doing AI-focused outreach. Small agencies and in-house teams get better value here, especially with unlimited team seats and broader AI model coverage.
The Verdict
Promptmonitor wins on features, price, and flexibility. Eight AI models versus four, publisher contacts, unlimited seats, and half the cost of SE Ranking's entry plan. SE Visible only makes sense if you're already paying for SE Ranking and want everything in one dashboard. For everyone else, Promptmonitor delivers more AI visibility insights for less money. Start with their free tier and test the contact extraction feature — it's probably more useful than you think.
Our verdict
For features, promptmonitor leads. On a budget, go with promptmonitor.
