Best AI Overview trackers: 8 tools that watch Google's AI answers

Google AI Overviews and AI Mode are the one answer engine almost every business is exposed to, because they sit on the search results people were already going to see. Most AI visibility tools cover ChatGPT first and treat Google as an extra, so the engine list matters more here than the prompt count.

Short answer. The cheapest way to watch AI Overviews on a schedule is zaDojo, from €10 a month, where AI Overviews is an optional engine billed per answer. Rankscale at about €15 a month billed yearly is next and covers AI Mode as well. For a single free check without an account, use the AI Overview checker.

We make zaDojo, one of the tools below. Competitor facts come from each vendor's own pricing page or documentation on the date shown above. Where a vendor lists prices in US dollars, we show them in euros converted at 1 EUR = 1.1225 USD (ECB rate, 19 October 2026), so the amount you pay depends on your card's exchange rate.

Who tracks what

AI Overviews and AI Mode are different surfaces. An Overview is the generated block above the classic results. AI Mode is the separate conversational tab. Some tools cover one and not the other, which is the detail most comparison tables skip.

Profound covers AI Overviews on its 7-day trial and up to nine engines on its custom Enterprise plan, but it publishes no paid price, so it is hard to rank on cost. HubSpot's free AEO Grader scores GPT, Perplexity and Gemini and does not cover AI Overviews at all.

Ranked by what you pay to start

1. zaDojo, from €10 a month with 10,000 credits included. AI Overviews is an optional engine on scheduled checks at roughly 2 credits (€0.002) an answer, so 50 prompts checked weekly on AI Overviews is about 430 credits a month and the rest of the €10 Base plan covers keyword, ranking and backlink research. MCP is on every account, so an agent can run the checks. No AI Mode.
2. Rankscale, about €15 a month, sold yearly only at €182. Covers both AI Overviews and AI Mode plus a long engine list, with MCP on every plan. The yearly-only billing is the catch.
3. Otterly, €26 a month for 15 prompts. AI Overviews is included at entry; AI Mode and Gemini are paid add-ons. Unlimited team members and a 7-day trial with no card.
4. Geoptie, €44 a month, or €37 billed yearly, for 15 prompts and 2 brands, each picking any 4 of 7 engines across 123 countries. The best choice if you need AI Overviews in many countries rather than many prompts.
5. Peec AI, €85 a month for 50 prompts on any 3 engines, so AI Overviews costs you one of your three slots. Unlimited users.
6. Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit, €88 a month per domain for 25 prompts, covering Google AI alongside ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. Worth it mainly if your team already works in Semrush.
7. Ahrefs Brand Radar, from €115 a month on Ahrefs Lite, which includes 150 custom prompt checks and covers both AI Overviews and AI Mode.
8. Scrunch, €267 a month, or €223 billed yearly, for 350 custom prompts plus 1,000 industry prompts across 7 engines.

Which one fits

• You want to watch AI Overviews and nothing else, cheaply. zaDojo from €10 a month, or the free AI Overview checker for a one-off look.
• You need AI Mode too. Rankscale is the cheapest that covers both. Ahrefs Brand Radar and Scrunch also do, at several times the price.
• You report per country. Geoptie, for 123 countries on every brand.
• You already pay for Semrush or Ahrefs. Use their add-ons rather than a twelfth login.
• You want an agent to run it. zaDojo and Rankscale include MCP at the bottom of the price range.

What to check before you buy

1. Ask whether it is Overviews, AI Mode, or both. Vendors often write "Google AI" and mean only the Overview block.
2. Count engines as slots, not features. On Peec and Geoptie you choose a limited number, so AI Overviews competes with ChatGPT for a slot.
3. Model the check frequency. Daily checks are the biggest cost multiplier, and AI Overviews move slowly enough that weekly is usually enough.
4. Look for the cited pages, not just the mention. The URLs in an Overview tell you what to change. A tool that reports only a yes or no leaves you guessing.
5. Run it for a month. Answers vary day to day, so a single week is noise.

All twelve trackers across every engine are in best AI visibility tools. What to change once you can see the answers is in AI Overview optimization, what AEO is and schema markup for AI.

Questions people ask

Can you track AI Overviews for free? For a one-off check, yes, with our AI Overview checker or HubSpot's AEO Grader, though the latter does not cover Overviews. For tracking over time you need a paid plan, and zaDojo's paid plans are the cheapest, from €10 a month.

What is the difference between AI Overviews and AI Mode? An AI Overview is the generated block above the normal search results. AI Mode is a separate conversational tab. A tool can cover one without the other, so check both before buying.

Does Google let tools read AI Overviews? There is no official API. Tools collect them by running searches, which is why coverage and refresh rates differ between vendors.

How many prompts do I need? Twenty to fifty buying questions covers most businesses. Paying for 350 prompts you never write is waste.

Which tracker covers the most Google surfaces? Rankscale, Ahrefs Brand Radar and Scrunch each cover AI Overviews, AI Mode and Gemini. Rankscale is by far the cheapest of the three.
