Ahrefs is one of the most respected SEO suites: backlink analysis, keyword research and site audits, all built around Google. It now tracks AI visibility too, through Brand Radar. The market-wide index is included from the Lite plan with a small allowance of your own tracked prompts, and larger prompt sets are sold as separate packages. Prices below were read from ahrefs.com/pricing on 26 September 2026.
Contract Details: Monthly billing on Starter to Advanced; paying annually saves up to 17%. Enterprise ($1,499/month) requires an annual commitment.

Tracking more than the 5 to 20 included prompts means a package: Basic $50/month (2,500 checks), Growth $100/month (7,000) or Scale $250/month (25,000), with overage from $0.010 to $0.020 per check.
The standalone Brand Radar AI product starts at $199/month on top of a plan.
When we configured a Brand Radar report on our own paid account in August 2026, its data endpoints returned "Missing addon: Brand Radar" until the separate licence was bought. See Ahrefs Brand Radar missing add-on.

Ahrefs already includes some AI tracking, so the question is how much you need. Brand Radar's index comes with Lite and above, with 5, 10 or 20 of your own prompts; tracking more of your own buyer questions means a prompt package, and Brand Radar AI is a separate product.

|---|---|---|
| Ahrefs Lite (includes Brand Radar index) | $129/mo | 5 of your own tracked AI prompts |
| Plus a Basic prompt package | +$50/mo | 2,500 prompt checks a month |

Ahrefs is the reference for Google SEO data, and Brand Radar makes it a reasonable way to research AI visibility across a market. What it does not give you is a large set of your own buyer questions tracked daily, or help fixing the gaps it shows. GetIntel checks 25 to 120 of your buyer questions every day on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews and, from $79 a month, turns each gap into a ranked task. Many teams keep Ahrefs for SEO and add a dedicated AI tracker.
