Why people leave Peec AI

Self-serve Peec AI plans let you choose 3 models. Each extra model is an add-on. It costs $35 a month on Starter, $85 on Pro and $165 on Advanced. Claude is Enterprise only, and Perplexity appears in the add-on list. So a team that wants five or six engines can pay well above the plan price.

What Peec AI does well

Be fair to what you leave behind. Peec AI tracks daily and reads most engines through the consumer interfaces. It covers Google AI Overviews, AI Mode and Copilot. Every plan has unlimited users. It also offers agent analytics, shopping tracking and CSV exports.
