What both leave out
Open questions on each side, from the same rendered pages. Peec AI: three model slots per tier, extras billed monthly; no Google, local or content production surface; grok absent from the public engine list. Semrush: aI visibility is one metered module inside a big suite; grok and DeepSeek absent from the published list; white-labeling is a $20/mo add-on.
Rank.ai is built for the loop that usually falls between these two products. It puts your market’s buying questions to seven AI engines every day, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Google AI Overviews and DeepSeek, three samples per engine, and records every answer with the brands named and the sources cited. It checks your Google rankings daily on every plan and scans a geo-grid of your Google Maps rank across your service area. And it finishes the job: the article pipeline researches, writes and publishes the missing pages into WordPress, Webflow, Shopify or WordPress.com with your approval, 10 a month included on the $0 plan.
