AirOps began as a content-workflow platform and now sells "AI discovery": agents that research, write, publish and refresh content under brand governance, a hands-on strategy team, and AI-search insights as part of the system. People look for alternatives for reasons that follow from that. The prices are not published and billing is by usage. The platform assumes a team that will run it. And a business that wanted ten good pages and a few placements does not need a factory.
The alternatives split into two groups. If what you need is to measure AI visibility, the trackers below do that at published prices and are not content tools at all. If what you need is the content and placements AirOps would help you produce, the last two entries deliver them for a fixed price.
AirOps at a glance
AirOps's pricing page, checked October 9, 2026, lists Solo, Pro and Enterprise without a plan price. Solo and Pro "start for free"; Solo is single-user, tracks ChatGPT only and charges a $0.025-per-task overage; Pro adds unlimited seats and insights across "7+ answer engines"; Enterprise is quoted and adds onsite, offsite, social and community sources plus the strategy team. Its homepage describes the product as the partner behind your brand's AI search strategy, "from the first move to the last mile."
Why people look for alternatives
No published plan prices; usage-based billing is hard to forecast
Built for continuous content production by a team
Visibility tracking is a feature, not the product

SEO Stuff Done-For-You Package
Not a tracker: a fixed-price service that gets a business cited. A baseline of 20 buyer questions across four assistants, an audit and strategy guide within 7 business days, 10 pages written to be cited, 3 DR50+ placements, a dashboard and an after-report, delivered in 21 business days.
From the SEO Stuff team. The direct alternative to what AirOps produces: ten pages written to be cited and three DR50+ placements, delivered in 21 business days for $999 once, with a baseline and after-report on twenty buyer questions. For volume, the Premium Content Bundle adds 60 articles for $899. Published prices, no usage meter.
Where it shines
The content and the placements are delivered, not recommended
One price, a delivery date, and you own the output
A before-and-after on the same questions, so you can see what moved
Where it does not
Not an ongoing dashboard; for weekly monitoring afterwards, the same team runs Rightcited
Twenty questions in the baseline, not hundreds of prompts
A one-off engagement; large catalogs add the content bundle
Price: $999 one time. Nothing renews; the pages and placements are yours. Research credits for do-it-yourself keyword and backlink work are separate: 400 for $49 or 3,000 for $99, bought once. Source, checked October 9, 2026.

Rightcited
Weekly checks of 50 buyer questions across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, with the fixes done rather than charted: wrong facts corrected at the source, missing pages written, citations earned. From the SEO Stuff team.
From the SEO Stuff team. If the part of AirOps you wanted was someone keeping an eye on AI answers and fixing what is wrong, Rightcited does that weekly across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity for $499 a brand a month, month to month.
Where it shines
The only option here that does the fixing, not only the finding
Weekly cadence on a question set chosen for buyers, not a keyword export
Month to month, no annual contract
Where it does not
Four engines; no Google AI Overviews line in the weekly check
One brand per plan; agencies pay per brand
Not a self-serve dashboard for exploring prompts on your own
Price: Core $499 per brand per month, month to month, with a free 360° scan to start and a $2.99 AI Page Check for a single page. Source, checked October 7, 2026.

Profound
An enterprise AI visibility platform: prompt tracking across up to nine answer engines, Prompt Volumes, Agent Analytics and an AI Marketer agent that researches and writes from the data.
The measurement alternative at the enterprise end: up to nine answer engines, Prompt Volumes, Agent Analytics and an AI Marketer agent. Custom-priced, like AirOps, but a tracker first rather than a content system.
Where it shines
The widest engine coverage of the trackers, including DeepSeek and Exa
Prompt Volumes and Agent Analytics, which the cheaper trackers lack or charge for
Built for teams: unlimited seats, SSO, dedicated support, API
Where it does not
No published price; you talk to sales for anything beyond the trial
A dashboard, not a service: it shows what to fix, and the fixing is your team's job
Overkill for a business with one brand and a few dozen prompts
Price: No published price. A free 7-day trial runs 50 prompts a day across ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews; the Enterprise plan is custom, with unlimited seats, up to nine engines, all-time history, exports and API. Third-party roundups have quoted $99 and $399 a month for self-serve tiers that Profound's pricing page no longer shows. Source, checked October 9, 2026.

Scrunch AI
An AI visibility platform "built specifically for AI search and agent ecosystems": prompt tracking across the major assistants plus personas and page audits that say what to change.
Tracking plus page audits and industry prompt sets, at a published price from $300 a month. The closest thing to AirOps's insights without the content platform.
Where it shines
Industry prompt sets on top of your own, so you see the category, not only your list
Page audits that turn findings into changes
Seven platforms including Claude and Meta on every plan
Where it does not
Seats are counted: 3 on Starter, 5 on Growth
$300 a month is the floor; nothing cheaper for a small business
Audits tell you what to change; someone still has to change it
Price: Starter $300 a month month-to-month or $250 billed annually (350 custom prompts plus 1,000 industry prompts, 3 personas, 5 page audits, 3 users), Growth $500 or $417 annually (700 custom and 2,500 industry prompts, 5 personas, 10 audits, 5 users), Enterprise custom with SSO and a data API.

A Berlin-built AI visibility tracker that pitches "analytics your team will actually enjoy using": daily tracking of a fixed prompt set across a few models, with unlimited users on every plan.
A clean tracker from $95 a month with unlimited users. Does none of the content work; does the measurement well.
Where it shines
Unlimited users on every plan, which the per-seat tools charge for
Daily tracking and a sensible prompt count at the entry price
Agency plans with per-client workspaces
Where it does not
Three models on the standard plans; more cost extra
Tracks and reports; the content and placements are still on you
Prompt counts are fixed per tier, so a large category means the Advanced plan
Price: Starter $95 a month (50 prompts, 3 models, 1 project), Pro $245 (150 prompts, 2 projects), Advanced $495 (350 prompts, 5 projects, multi-country, Looker Studio).

Where it shines
$29 a month gets a real tracker running the same day
Unlimited team members on every plan
GEO page audits, API and agent analytics on Standard and up
Where it does not
15 prompts on Lite is a sample, not a category; the useful plans start at $189
The engines most people ask about next (Claude, Gemini, AI Mode) cost extra
No help with the content or the placements
Price: Lite $29 a month (15 prompts), Standard $189 (100 prompts), Premium $489 (400 prompts), Enterprise custom from 1,000 prompts. Annual billing about 15% less ($25, $160 and $422).
