One-time packs, not a subscription. An answer is one prompt run on one engine; the answers per month are what a pack covers at daily refresh on the five standard engines, and weekly refresh stretches it about seven times further. 1 credit = $0.01. Packs stack and credits never expire. The $19.99 Starter pack covers about 1,100 answers a month, which is about 7 prompts checked daily on five engines.

• ✓All six AI engines on every account (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode), no engine paywall. Claude costs more per answer than the other five, which is why pack sizes are quoted on those five
• ✓Unlimited teammates and properties
• ✓Visibility, share-of-voice, position and sentiment tracking
• ✓Brand perception, misinformation detection, and shareable audits
• ✓Agent analytics: see which AI crawlers read your site
• ✓The MCP server, prompt templates and use-case gallery, free with any account

Estimates, not fixed prices. You are billed for actual usage. Set a spend cap anytime and Limelit stops before it is exceeded.

Every AI visibility tool puts something different on its price tag: prompts, engines, credits or checks. To compare two plans fairly, turn each one into the same unit: answers per month.

What counts as an answer?

An answer is one prompt, asked of one AI engine, one time. Ask 10 prompts on ChatGPT and Perplexity once and you get 20 answers. Every number a tracker reports (mentions, rank, citations, share of voice) is counted from answers, so answers are what you are really buying.

How do I turn a price into answers per month?

• Daily is 30 runs a month.
• Every other day is 15.
• Weekly is about 4.3 (30 divided by 7).
• Monthly is 1.

Then compare plans on what you will actually run. Write down the prompts, engines and schedule you need, and find the smallest monthly bill that covers them. A bigger plan only saves you money if you use all of it.

How much does run frequency matter?

A lot, because it multiplies the prompts and the engines. Here is one list of 20 prompts on 4 engines, on four schedules:

Same prompts, same engines. Weekly gives you one seventh of the answers that daily does. A plan that looks cheap may simply run your prompts less often.

What should I ask every vendor?

1. How many prompts does the plan include? Some pages say search prompts, keywords or search terms. Some say unlimited and limit you with credits instead.
2. Which engines are included at that price? Count the engines you get on the plan, not the engines the vendor supports. Then check the names: two plans with three engines each may not track the same three.
3. How often do prompts run? Daily, every other day, weekly, or your choice.
4. What will I actually pay each month? Is the headline price for annual billing only? Are some engines paid add-ons, Enterprise only, or tied to your own API key, which the model provider bills you for separately? Do the credits also pay for articles or agent runs?

What does this look like on real pricing pages?

Here are 6 entry plans whose pricing pages state the prompts and the engines, plus how often each prompt runs or the answer count that results. It is a sample, not a full list: a few plans that meet this bar are left out because their page gives an engine count or an answer count that does not match its own plan. Each price, prompt count and engine list, and each schedule or answer count, was read on the vendor's own pricing page on the date shown, and each name links to that page. The monthly answer count is the formula applied to them.

Analyze AI and Gauge print both how often each prompt runs and their own answer count, and the formula gives the same number. Searchable prints 9,000 answers per month but does not say how often each prompt runs, so 30 runs per month is what its own figure implies. "Pick" means you choose that many engines from the list. Price is the monthly price each vendor lists. A "billed annually" rate is what a month costs if you pay for a year up front, and other plans may have a yearly discount too. Plans priced in credits, custom quotes, and pages that do not say how often each prompt runs cannot be put on this scale from the pricing page alone. Limelit is not a row because it has no fixed plan: you choose all three inputs (see below).

The full comparison covers 21 AI visibility tools, Limelit included, with entry price, engines, add-on fees, free tier and the date each price was checked: see AI visibility tools compared.

How does Limelit's pricing fit this?

• Limelit sells prepaid credits, not plans. Packs run from $19.99 for 2,000 credits to $399.99 for 40,000 credits, and 1 credit = $0.01. No subscription, and credits never expire.
• You set all three inputs of the formula: which prompts, which engines each prompt runs on, and how often it runs (anything from daily to monthly, or only when you click refresh).
• All six engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode) are on every account, including the free 1,000 credits. Claude costs more per answer than the other five.
• You pay for the answers you run, so running prompts less often, or on fewer engines, makes the same credits last longer.
• Set a spend cap and Limelit stops before it is exceeded.

What are the common traps?

• Prompts are not answers. 100 prompts on 1 engine is 100 answers a run. The same 100 prompts on 6 engines is 600.
• Weekly is not a small step down from daily. It is one seventh of the answers.
• Same engine count, different engines. Three engines on one plan and three on another can be a different three. Read the names.
• Engine paywalls. Claude, Gemini or AI Mode can be a paid add-on, an Enterprise feature, or need your own API key. Add any add-on to both the price and the engine count before you do the math.
• Annual-only headline prices. Some pages open on the annual rate. Check the month-to-month price too.
• Credits do not convert between vendors. One vendor charges a fraction of a credit per answer, another charges more for some engines, and some credits also pay for articles or agent runs.
• A big plan you only partly use. If you need 50 prompts and buy a 600-prompt plan, you pay for all 600 whether you run them or not.
• A stated answer count that does not match the formula. If a vendor prints an answer count, check it against prompts × engines × runs. If it does not match, ask how they count (some count 31 days in a month).
