Knowing what AI assistants answer about your company has become a job of its own. Seven platforms do it. The question here is a technical one: which of them can your own assistant query directly, without going through a dashboard.
The table is sorted on machine access: an API and an MCP server shipped with every account come first, those kept for higher tiers come after. Where access is equal, the minimum amount to commit decides. Both are facts published by the vendors, read on their pricing pages on 26 July 2026.
| Tool | Pricing model | Minimum amount to commit | Engines tracked | API | MCP server | Raw answers kept |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Epovest | Prepaid, pay per use: $0.10 per prompt, per engine, per reading | $10 top-up, credits never expire | 6 | Every account | Every account | Yes, every answer with its cited sources |

| Mentionable | Subscription | EUR 79/month | 7 listed | Not stated | Pro tier and above | Not stated |

Full comparison, price by price: best AI visibility tools in 2026, compared on published facts.
Two of the seven bill annually at their entry tier: the monthly figure on display is really that figure times twelve. A prepaid model commits what you top up, and nothing beyond it.
Of the seven, two ship an API and an MCP server with every account. The others place them in a Pro, Professional or Enterprise tier, where they mention them at all. That is what decides whether your assistant reads the data itself or someone copies it over by hand.
Announced coverage runs from five to nine engines, and the order of the table does not reproduce it. The most expensive entry tier here tracks a single engine.
If your AI assistant is meant to work the measurements itself, look at the MCP column first: it removes half the table. If what you mainly want is a first reading to see where you stand, look at the amount to commit. Either way, check that the tool keeps raw answers together with their sources: a visibility rate you cannot trace back to the text behind it will not hold up in front of a client.
The seven tools were not hand-picked: they are the platforms ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity cite most often on this market’s buying questions, per the measurement Epovest published in July 2026 (923 archived answers). Facts were read on each vendor’s public pricing and product pages on 26 July 2026, base prices, promotional discounts ignored. Engine counts are the vendors’ published lists. The table carries no score and no rating. Correction of 1 August 2026: Epovest has tracked six engines since 31 July 2026. The figures are reusable with attribution.
