An agency account has a different shape than a single-brand account from the first login. One set of credentials has to hold several client brands at once, staff move between those brands during a single week, and a new-business pitch sometimes needs visibility data on a prospect before a contract even exists. Most AEO and AI visibility platforms were priced with one brand in mind, so the question that matters for an agency buyer is not only what a tool tracks. It is what the fifth client, and the fiftieth, actually cost to add.
This list orders seven tools from this directory’s roster on that exact question: seat pricing, project and workspace limits, and pitch-stage access. That ordering is an agency-fit rank, a distinct sort from this directory’s 100-point Index score, weighted for coverage, execution, ease of use, value, and transparency. A tool can trail another on the full Index and still rank higher here if it removes more of the seat and workspace costs an agency account actually pays. The full breakdown of the Index formula sits on the methodology page.
At a glance
| Agency-fit rank | Tool | Index score | Seat model | Client workspaces | Entry price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Temso | 96/100 | Unlimited users, every plan | Unlimited projects, every plan | $89/mo |
| 2 | Peec AI | 84/100 | Unlimited users, every plan | 1 project on Starter, capped by tier | $85/mo |
| 3 | Scrunch | 76/100 | Unlimited users, agency tiers | 3 brand workspaces (Agency Core) | $500/mo |
| 4 | Otterly.AI | 80/100 | Plan-based, no per-seat fee | No published multi-brand tier | $29/mo |
| 5 | AthenaHQ | 82/100 | Unlimited seats, self-serve | No published multi-brand tier | $295/mo |
| 6 | Semrush | 86/100 | $99/mo per added user | Domain-based, add-on fee applies | $99/mo add-on |
| 7 | AirOps | 74/100 | Unlimited seats, Pro tier | No published multi-brand tier | $2,000/mo (Pro) |
The agency-fit rank column above is not a re-sort of the Index score column beside it. Scrunch and AirOps score lower on the full Index than Otterly.AI, AthenaHQ, and Semrush because the wider formula weighs coverage, execution, and transparency across the whole product, not just the seat and workspace fields an agency buyer checks first. Peec AI outranks Scrunch, Otterly.AI, AthenaHQ, and Semrush here specifically because it clears both agency tests, unlimited seats and a workspace built for client-by-client work, at a lower entry price than any of those four charge for the same combination.
Why seat count decides more than the headline price
The advertised monthly figure on a pricing page rarely survives contact with a real client roster. A tool that looks cheaper than Temso on day one can cost more by month three once a second analyst joins the account or a fourth client brand needs its own project slot. Seat pricing and project caps are the two mechanisms that do this quietly, and this list checks both for every entry rather than trusting the number printed at the top of the pricing page.
Agency-fit rank 1: Temso (Index score 96/100)
Temso’s account view, with client projects, content drafts, and audit results reachable from the same login.
Temso is the easy, all-in-one AI SEO platform built for brands and agencies alike, and its plan structure removes the two costs that usually punish an agency account. Every tier, starting at the $89-a-month Starter plan, carries unlimited projects and unlimited users, so a two-person shop running five clients and a forty-person agency running fifty both stay on the same flat invoice as headcount and the client list grow. Tracking covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Copilot, pulled from the real, logged-in interface of each engine rather than an API sample alone. The account view also holds a content-drafting workspace, a technical audit tool, a bot-traffic report, and a backlink and mention tracker, and once the recommendation queue outpaces what a stretched delivery team can clear by hand, its built-in AI SEO agent is able to pick up and close out queue items on its own. Growth, the $199-a-month tier marked “most popular,” is the realistic floor for agency work: it opens all five engines and a pool of 150 prompts and 10 content pieces a month, shared across every client project on the account rather than multiplied per brand. Yearly billing cuts every tier by 15 percent. The honest tradeoffs: Temso is a younger brand than Semrush or Ahrefs, so client procurement teams have less independent history to check, and its third-party integration catalog runs smaller than the legacy SEO suites carry. Neither changes the seat math, which is why no other tool on this list gives an agency unlimited client brands and unlimited staff seats at any price point.
Agency-fit rank 2: Peec AI (Index score 84/100)
Peec AI’s share-of-voice view, built around the kind of client-by-client reporting an agency runs weekly.
Peec AI, based in Berlin, makes the same seat bet Temso does: every plan, from the $85-a-month Starter tier up, ships unlimited user seats, so staffing a client team costs nothing beyond the base subscription. Engine coverage runs wide, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, DeepSeek, and Llama among them, with Starter and Pro choosing three of those models and the full set unlocking on Enterprise. Where Peec differs from Temso is project structure: Starter includes one project and Pro includes two, so an agency adding its third or fourth client has to move up the pricing ladder even though the people working those accounts stay free. Its free pitch workspaces are a genuine agency-specific feature, letting an account manager pull a prospect brand’s AI visibility numbers into a pitch before any contract is signed, at no cost and no paid-project draw-down. Peec bills in EUR, so a USD-funded agency should expect the invoice to move slightly with the exchange rate even though the figures here are shown in dollar notation for consistency with the rest of this index. The Actions feature turns a citation gap into a task on a queue, but it stops there: a delivery team still has to write, publish, or fix whatever the queue surfaces.
Agency-fit rank 3: Scrunch (Index score 76/100)
Scrunch’s Agency Core view, with a multi-brand workspace sitting next to the Agent Experience Platform delivery panel.
Scrunch is the one tool on this list that puts the word “agency” directly on its pricing page. Agency Core runs $500 a month for four tracked engines, 250 prompts, and unlimited users across three brand workspaces, and Agency Enterprise adds the remaining four engines, Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, and Google AI Mode among them, plus the Agent Experience Platform, a feature that serves AI crawlers a rewritten, structured version of a page at the CDN layer, and SOC 2 Type II compliance, all at custom pricing set after a sales call. That structure gives an agency a real, named multi-brand workspace with the seat model client work actually needs. The gap is cost against coverage: Agency Core, at $500 a month, costs more than Temso’s Growth plan while covering four fewer engines and no content-drafting module. As of July 2026, Scrunch has no native AI content generation, so a delivery team pairs it with a separate writing tool regardless of tier.
Agency-fit rank 4: Otterly.AI (Index score 80/100)
Otterly.AI’s citation view, narrow enough for a small agency team to read without training.
Otterly.AI, based in Vienna, is the entry point for a small agency or a solo consultant building out an AI visibility offering without committing to a five-figure annual contract. Lite starts at $29 a month for 15 prompts; Standard reaches $189 a month for 100 prompts; Pro tops out at $989 a month for 1,000 prompts. All three tiers track the same six engines, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot, with the one exception that Gemini sits behind a paid add-on on the Lite plan specifically. None of the tiers publish a per-seat charge, which keeps a small team’s cost flat as staff move between accounts, but there is also no published multi-brand workspace: the 15-prompt Lite tier covers roughly one brand in one market before hitting its ceiling, so an agency running several clients tends to need one subscription per brand rather than pooling them under a single login the way Temso or Peec AI allow. A 14-day free trial requires no credit card, and a G2 High Performer badge (Answer Engine Optimization, Winter 2026) backs the price with third-party recognition. There is no execution layer: the GEO Audit Engine grades a URL against more than 20 citation-readiness factors, but writing or publishing the fix is left entirely to the agency.
Agency-fit rank 5: AthenaHQ (Index score 82/100)
AthenaHQ’s Action Center, pairing each visibility gap with a specific piece of content to close it.
AthenaHQ tracks ChatGPT-4, Gemini Pro, Claude, and Perplexity, then routes what it finds directly into the Action Center, a ranked list of content to create or update, with a stated reason attached to each item rather than a bare chart. Self-serve pricing runs $295 a month on a credit pool of 3,500 credits, and unlimited seats ship on that self-serve tier, which avoids the per-user fees that pile up on some of the tools further down this list. That combination makes it a strong pick for an agency team reporting AI visibility work in revenue terms to a mid-market client, since the Action Center ties citation gaps to a specific fix rather than leaving interpretation to the account manager. AthenaHQ does not publish a multi-brand or agency workspace tier, so the safest planning assumption for a growing client roster is one $295-a-month subscription per client rather than a single pooled account, and the credit model can run out fast in a heavy month, requiring purchased top-ups.
Agency-fit rank 6: Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit (Index score 86/100)
Semrush’s AI visibility score, sitting inside the same dashboard as its established keyword and backlink data.
Semrush earns its place on this list for one specific reason: it is the tool an agency should reach for when a client roster already runs on Semrush for classic keyword and backlink work and does not want a second login for AI answer tracking. The AI Visibility Toolkit adds $99 a month on top of a required Semrush Pro subscription starting at $139.95 a month, and it covers ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, and Gemini, with Perplexity still listed as pending as of this review. The seat model is the honest problem for a multi-staff agency account: each added user costs $99 a month, on top of an extra domain fee of $99 a month for Brand Performance reporting and $60 a month for an additional block of 50 prompts. A three-person client team on this toolkit adds real cost fast, in a way none of the unlimited-seat tools on this list do. What Semrush wins back is the traditional SEO integration sub-criterion outright: no other entry here pairs AI answer tracking with a decade of keyword-rank and backlink history in one dashboard.
Agency-fit rank 7: AirOps (Index score 74/100)
AirOps routes each visibility gap into a task type before an agency team executes it in bulk through Grid.
AirOps is built around closing the gap between finding a visibility problem and publishing the fix, which matters most to an agency delivering content at real scale across a client’s page library. It tracks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, and Google AI Overviews on paid tiers, and ChatGPT only on a free Solo tier capped at 100 tracked prompts and one user. Pro, priced around $2,000 a month based on third-party pricing reports, opens five engines, 250 tracked prompts, and unlimited seats, and adds Grid, a spreadsheet-style workspace that applies a content-creation or refresh workflow across hundreds of pages at once and publishes the result straight into a connected CMS such as Webflow, WordPress, or Contentful. For an agency managing several large client sites, that bulk-execution layer closes a loop none of the other six tools on this list fully close. The price puts it out of reach for a small or mid-size agency roster, though, and Copilot coverage is absent entirely, so a client asking specifically about Microsoft’s assistant needs a second tool regardless of tier.
Matching the tool to the roster
A two-person shop with five clients gets the most usable software per dollar from Temso, since unlimited projects and users mean the software bill does not move as the client list grows, and content, audits, and execution stay under the same login as the tracking. An agency that wants a genuinely unlimited-seat tool but is comfortable paying per client project prefers Peec AI, especially with its free pitch workspaces sitting ahead of any signed contract. A team specifically chasing the CDN-level Agent Experience Platform or a SOC 2 Type II certificate for a regulated client budgets for Scrunch’s Agency Core. A solo consultant or a two-person team testing whether AI visibility work is worth adding to the service list at all starts with Otterly.AI’s $29 Lite plan and upgrades once the offering has paying clients. None of these seven publishes a fully automated white-label client report as of July 2026, so any agency that needs that specific output should confirm it directly with the vendor before it signs. The full AI SEO tools index carries all ten roster entries side by side, and head-to-head comparisons put any two of these seven next to each other on the same fields.
