LLMrefs Review: Unlimited Sites for $79. They All Share One Budget.
LLMrefs pricing verified August 2026: one $79 plan, eight AI engines, unlimited sites and seats. The shared tracking budget is the real limit, not the price.
LLMrefs tracks where your brand shows up in AI answers, across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Meta AI. It sells one plan at one price and refuses to tier anything.
- Rating: 3.5/5. The best price per tracked prompt I have verified in this category, held back by a review pool of one and a single inflexible plan.
- Verified pricing: One plan, All in One, at $79 a month with a 7-day free trial. No annual rate published, no free tier on the pricing page.
- What $79 buys: 500 tracked prompts, eight AI engines with no engine tiering, unlimited team members, unlimited projects and domains, CSV export and API access.
- Divide before you buy: 500 prompts works out at about $0.16 each. Indexly's entry plan is $1.98 per prompt, roughly twelve times more.
- The catch is arithmetic: Unlimited domains share one 500-prompt pool. Five domains is 100 prompts each; twenty-five domains is twenty.
The rest of this review does the per-prompt and per-year math, works through what the free tools actually do, and names who should buy it and who should not.
LLMrefs prices like a product that has decided what it is: one plan, one number, every engine included. The interesting question is not whether $79 is cheap, because it plainly is. It is what the 500-prompt pool does once you add the second domain. Try CrawlRaven free: 1 site, no credit card →
LLMrefs sells one plan at $79 a month with unlimited domains, unlimited seats and 500 tracked prompts. Three of those four numbers are generous. The fourth is the whole product.
Add a second domain and each one gets 250 prompts. Add ten and each one gets fifty. The word unlimited is doing something specific here, and it is worth understanding before you sign up nine client sites.
The verdict up front
LLMrefs scores 3.5 out of 5. It is the cheapest verified price per tracked prompt in this category, sold with a refreshing lack of tier games, and backed by almost no independent evidence. I score reviewed tools on six criteria:
- Core job performance: how well it does the thing people actually buy it for.
- Pricing transparency: whether you can quote a price without opening a checkout.
- Third-party validation: verified ratings from named platforms, linked below.
- Coverage of AI search: whether the engine list is real or a badge on the pricing page.
- What the entry plan allows: how much of the product the cheapest tier actually gives you.
- Depth as a technical SEO tool: what the diagnostics can and cannot answer.
LLMrefs rated on six criteria
500 tracked prompts covering brand mentions, cited sources and fan-out queries, with share-of-voice benchmarking against competitors and weekly automated reports
One plan, one printed price, no tier maze and no demo call. Docked for the undated limited-time framing, the absence of any annual rate, and an add-more-keywords upgrade with no published cost
One Product Hunt review at 5.0 and a G2 listing with zero reviews, verified August 2026. The 325 upvotes and a number three product of the day are attention, not evidence
Eight engines on the single plan with no engine tiering: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Meta AI, across 50-plus countries and 20-plus languages
There is only one plan and it is the whole product: unlimited team members, unlimited projects and domains, CSV export, API access and priority support all included
A crawlability checker and an llms.txt generator sit in the free tools drawer. Useful, but a spot check on one page is not a crawl of a site
Key Takeaways
- →One plan, one price: $79 a month, labelled limited time only with no end date, verified August 2026. No annual rate is published.
- →No engine tiering: All eight engines on the one plan, where competitors gate Claude, Gemini or Grok behind their top tier.
- →The unit price is the story: 500 prompts at $79 is about $0.16 each, against $1.98 on Indexly's entry plan.
- →Unlimited is a division problem: Domains and seats are unlimited, but the 500 prompts are pooled across all of them.
- →The evidence is thin: One Product Hunt review and zero G2 reviews. Use the 7-day trial rather than the ratings.
What is LLMrefs?
LLMrefs is an AI search analytics tool. You give it prompts, it asks the answer engines, and it records whether you were named, who was named instead, and which URLs got cited as sources.
The company launched on Product Hunt on 1 May 2025 and finished third that day. Its own site credits James Berry as founder and claims 10,000 or more marketers, both vendor-stated. What the product actually does breaks into four jobs:
- Track: 500 prompts monitored for brand mentions, cited sources and fan-out queries.
- Benchmark: competitor comparison by share of voice and position, so the number has something to be measured against.
- Attribute: the actual source URLs the engines quoted, which is the part that turns a score into a task.
- Export: weekly automated reports, CSV download and API access, all on the one plan.
What you get for the money
There is no feature grid to decode here, because there is only one plan. Everything below is included at $79:
- 500 tracked prompts. Brand mentions, the sources behind them, and the fan-out queries an engine generates on its way to an answer.
- Auto-generated prompts. Built from real user conversations rather than from your guesses about what people ask.
- Citation tracking. The URLs each engine cited, which is the difference between a metric and a to-do list.
- Share of voice. Your visibility measured against named competitors on the same prompts.
- Geo-targeting. 50-plus countries and 20-plus languages, which most tools charge extra for.
- Unlimited seats and domains. One subscription covers the whole team and every project you want to add.
- CSV export and API access. Included rather than sold as a data add-on, so the numbers can leave the tool.
The unusual entry on that list is prompt volume estimates. Knowing that a prompt is asked often enough to matter is the AI-search equivalent of search volume, and very few tools attempt it at all.
The engine list, and where the site disagrees with itself
When a vendor sells the same tracking product at three prices and decides which AI engines you are allowed to see at each one. LLMrefs does not do this. Several of its competitors do.
The pricing page names eight engines, all included, with no upgrade path to unlock any of them:
- The eight on the pricing page: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Meta AI.
- The homepage lists more, adding ChatGPT Search, Grok and DeepSeek, so the two pages do not agree.
- Which to trust: the pricing page, because that is the document you are buying against. Everything quoted here comes from it.
- Why this matters: if a specific engine is the reason you are shopping, confirm it in the trial rather than from a logo strip.
LLMrefs pricing, verified August 2026
Credit where it is due: this is the shortest pricing page in the category. One plan, one number, and the feature list is what you get rather than what you could get.
- All in One, $79 a month. 500 prompts, eight engines, unlimited seats, unlimited projects and domains, weekly reports, citation tracking, geo-targeting, CSV export, API access and priority support.
- A 7-day free trial, with the page adding cancel anytime, no questions asked.
- The price is labelled limited time only, with no stated end date and no published rate it reverts to.
- No annual billing option is published, so there is no yearly discount to weigh.
- No enterprise tier is priced, and adding more keywords is offered without a cost attached.
The number that matters is per prompt
Because tracking is metered in prompts, the fair comparison against any other visibility tool is cost per tracked prompt per month. That division is where LLMrefs wins outright:
- LLMrefs: $79 for 500 prompts, so about $0.16 each.
- Indexly Starter: $99 for 50 prompts, so $1.98 each, roughly twelve times more.
- Indexly Growth: $299 for 100 prompts, so $2.99 each.
- Indexly Scale: $499 for 200 prompts, so $2.50 each.
- All four verified August 2026 against each vendor's own pricing page.
That gap is too large to be explained by data quality alone. It is a packaging difference: one vendor sells a tracker, the other sells a platform and prices the tracking as one module inside it.
One year and three years, pre-calculated
With a single monthly rate and no annual option, the arithmetic is short. All figures below follow from the verified $79:
| Period | LLMrefs | Indexly Starter | Indexly Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per month | $79 | $99 | $299 |
| Year 1 | $948 | $1,188 | $3,588 |
| 3 years | $2,844 | $3,564 | $10,764 |
| Prompts tracked | 500 | 50 | 100 |
Indexly columns use its monthly rates, so its stated 17 percent annual discount would reduce them. Even at that discount the per-prompt gap stays close to an order of magnitude.
- One-time rather than monthly is the other shape of bill: CrawlRaven lifetime licences start at $49 for 3 sites at launch.
- A free plan covers 1 website with no credit card and no trial clock.
- The caveat: Lifetime pricing steps up as licenses sell, so check the pricing page for the current batch. Current price on the pricing page.
- Different job, though. We do not track prompts across answer engines, so this is a contrast in billing shape, not a like-for-like swap.
Unlimited domains, one prompt pool
This is the section to read twice if you are an agency. Unlimited projects and domains is a real feature, and it is also the mechanism by which the plan gets thin.
Unlimited domains, one pool of 500 prompts
$79.00 a month. Generous. 500 prompts on one brand is deeper coverage than most teams write
$26.33 a month. Still comfortable. Enough for a core prompt set plus competitor and category queries
$15.80 a month. Workable, but you are now choosing which questions not to track per client
$7.90 a month. Thin. Fifty prompts is a monthly snapshot rather than a monitoring programme
$3.16 a month. Cosmetic. Twenty prompts will not survive contact with a real client reporting cycle
Restated in plain text, dividing the same 500-prompt account quota:
- One domain: 500 prompts, at $79 a month for that domain.
- Three domains: about 166 prompts each, at $26.33 per domain a month.
- Five domains: 100 prompts each, at $15.80 per domain a month.
- Ten domains: 50 prompts each, at $7.90 per domain a month.
- Twenty-five domains: 20 prompts each, at $3.16 per domain a month.
The per-domain price is remarkable and the per-domain coverage is not. Twenty prompts per client will produce a chart, but not a monitoring programme anyone should be billing for.
I like this pricing model more than almost anything else in the category, and the reason is that it does not punish you for having a team. Unlimited seats at $79 means the analyst, the writer and the client can all look at the same dashboard.
The line I would draw is around five domains. Past that, the honest read is that you are sampling rather than tracking, and you should either buy more prompts or run this on your own brand only.
The free tools are a real part of the offer
Most vendors call a lead magnet a free tool. This drawer is bigger than that, and two of the eight are things I would actually open on a Tuesday:
- AI crawlability checker. Tests whether an AI bot can read a page without running JavaScript, which is the quiet failure mode on React and Vue sites.
- ChatGPT prompts database. Searchable prompts from a stated 4.5 million-plus real conversations, which is genuine research material.
- Query fan-out generator. Shows how a platform decomposes one question into several searches.
- ChatGPT search query extractor. The same idea aimed specifically at the queries ChatGPT sends to Bing.
- Reddit threads finder. Surfaces the discussions answer engines keep citing for a keyword.
- llms.txt generator. Builds the file, which our own llms.txt generator also does.
- AI content optimizer and humanizer. A/B tests copy across models, and strips the smart quotes and stray dashes that give AI drafts away.
Treat the drawer as the real trial. It costs nothing, it tells you whether the company builds things you like using, and it does not start a seven-day clock.
Performance in practice
There is no meaningful review pool to read, so the honest approach is to separate what can be assessed from outside from what cannot. Four things hold up on inspection:
- The scope is not a stub. Eight engines, citation tracking, share of voice, fan-out queries and volume estimates is a complete feature set for the job.
- The data can leave. CSV and API on the base plan means you can verify the numbers in your own spreadsheet rather than trusting the dashboard.
- Geo coverage is unusually broad at 50-plus countries and 20-plus languages, which normally sits behind an enterprise conversation.
- What cannot be assessed is reliability: refresh cadence in practice, support response, and whether tracked prompts drift. One review tells you nothing about any of it.
That last gap is the reason this scores 3.5 rather than higher. The product looks right and the evidence that it stays right over twelve months does not exist yet.
Setup, interface and the daily workflow
Setup is an account, a domain and a prompt list, with the tool happy to generate the prompt list for you from real conversations:
- The daily loop: open the report, see which prompts named you, read which URLs were cited instead, and go write or fix that page.
- The weekly loop: automated visibility reports land without anyone having to remember to pull them.
- The seat model: unlimited members, so there is no maths about who gets a login.
- The project model: unlimited domains under one subscription, sharing the one prompt pool.
- The export path: CSV and API, which matters if the report has to end up in a client deck or a warehouse.
The friction worth naming is prompt curation. Five hundred sounds limitless until you write them, at which point choosing the right two hundred becomes the actual skill the tool demands of you.
Pros and cons
- ✓About $0.16 per tracked prompt a month, the lowest verified unit price I have found in this category
- ✓One plan, one printed price, no demo call and no tier maze
- ✓Eight AI engines included with no engine tiering, where competitors gate Claude, Gemini or Grok behind a top tier
- ✓Unlimited team members, so adding an analyst or a client viewer costs nothing
- ✓Unlimited projects and domains under a single subscription
- ✓Citation tracking names the actual source URLs, which turns a visibility score into a task list
- ✓Geo-targeting across 50-plus countries and 20-plus languages on the base plan
- ✓CSV export and API access included rather than sold as a data add-on
- ✓Monthly AI prompt volume estimates, which very few tools in this category attempt
- ✓Eight genuinely useful free tools, including a crawlability checker and a 4.5 million-conversation prompt database
- ✓A 7-day free trial with cancel anytime stated on the pricing page
- ✗The 500 prompts are an account-level pool, so unlimited domains divide it: ten domains average 50 prompts each
- ✗One plan means no smaller tier for a solo site and no larger tier for an agency that needs real volume
- ✗No annual billing and therefore no annual discount to weigh
- ✗The $79 is labelled limited time only with no end date and no published rate it reverts to
- ✗Adding more keywords is offered without a published price, so scaling up is a conversation
- ✗The pricing page uses prompts and keywords interchangeably, and the 500 and 50 figures do not reconcile
- ✗The homepage and the pricing page name different engine lists
- ✗No permanently free tracking tier, only the free standalone tools
- ✗Third-party validation is one Product Hunt review and a G2 listing with zero reviews
- ✗The crawlability checker is a per-page spot check, not a site crawl
- ✗Customer logos and the 10,000-plus marketers figure are vendor-stated and not independently verifiable
Who LLMrefs is best for
Fit here is almost entirely a domain-count question. Nine buyer profiles against an honest verdict:
Nine buyers, and whether LLMrefs is the right call
500 prompts on one domain is deeper coverage than most teams will write, at $0.16 per prompt a month
Eight engines are on the one plan with no tiering, where competitors gate Claude, Gemini or Grok behind their top tier
Unlimited team members on a single $79 subscription, so adding an analyst costs nothing
That splits to 166 or 100 prompts each, which still works. The economics are excellent; the coverage is what you are rationing
Twenty prompts per client will not survive a real reporting cycle, and the price of extra keywords is not published
There is no published annual rate and no enterprise tier on the pricing page, so both are a conversation rather than a checkout
A 7-day trial and a set of genuinely free tools, but no permanently free tracking tier on the pricing page
The crawlability checker tests whether a page renders without JavaScript. That is a spot check, not a crawl
One Product Hunt review and zero G2 reviews is not enough evidence to skip your own trial
Condensed, the three clear buys are:
- Single brands doing this properly. 500 prompts on one domain is deeper coverage than most in-house teams will ever write.
- Teams that want every engine without an upgrade. No engine tiering is the differentiator competitors charge multiples for.
- Large teams punished by per-seat pricing. Unlimited members on one $79 subscription removes that line item entirely.
Who should skip it
- Agencies with twenty-plus client domains. Twenty prompts each is a chart, not a service you can bill for.
- Buyers who need a technical crawl. A per-page crawlability check is not a technical audit.
- Anyone who needs white-label client reporting. Nothing on the pricing page offers it, and Indexly does.
- Procurement that needs an annual invoice. There is no published annual rate and no enterprise tier.
What reviewers say
Third-party ratings, checked in August 2026. There is very little to report, and for a product this cheap that is more forgivable than it would be at $499 a month:
- Product Hunt: 5.0 from a single review, on a launch that took 325 upvotes and third product of the day on 1 May 2025.
- G2: a live listing carrying zero reviews, so G2 has no rating to show.
- What that means: upvotes measure launch-day attention, not twelve months of uptime. Use the trial and the free tools instead.
“Awesomeeeee stuff. Epic creator”
★★★★★Product Hunt · Matt Carey
That is the entire published review corpus, quoted in full. Five words is not a verdict, and any review claiming to summarise user sentiment here is summarising one person.
LLMrefs alternatives, by job
LLMrefs does one job and does not pretend otherwise, so the alternatives divide by what you need beyond that job:
- You need indexing, publishing or white-label reporting too: Indexly.
- You want the deepest citation analysis available: Otterly, Peec AI or Profound.
- You need to fix the pages the engines are reading: CrawlRaven, from a one-time $49 at launch.
- You want the field compared first: our AI visibility tools roundup and LLM SEO tools guide.
Indexly: the platform version of the same job
Indexly costs $99 to $499 a month and tracks 50 to 200 prompts, both verified August 2026. On tracking alone that is a poor trade, so the question is whether you want the rest of the platform:
- What Indexly adds: auto-indexing to Google, Bing and Yandex, Content Agents that draft and publish, and a Search Console integration.
- The agency case: white-label reports with your own logo and custom domain, plus per-client workspaces, which LLMrefs does not offer at all.
- The unlimited-users overlap: both vendors include unlimited seats, so neither punishes you for team size.
- The test: if the extra modules would go unused, you are paying roughly twelve times more per prompt for nothing.
Our full Indexly review works through its plan ladder, including the finding that its middle tier charges the most per prompt.
Otterly, Peec and Profound: the deeper specialists
If AI visibility is a programme rather than a monthly chart, three tools go deeper on citation analysis and prompt strategy. Our Otterly review, Peec AI review and Profound review price each of them out in full.
CrawlRaven: the pages the engines are reading
Full transparency: CrawlRaven is our tool, and it does not track prompts across answer engines. It answers the question that sits underneath a low visibility score:
- The join: Google Search Console and GA4 (built-in, one-click OAuth, synced daily) merged with your imported Ahrefs or Semrush keyword lists and a 200-point technical crawl.
- The output: one ranked plan of what to write, what to update and what to fix first, rather than a score you still have to interpret.
- The overlap to know about: the crawl covers renderability across every page, where LLMrefs checks one page at a time in its free tool.
- The price: lifetime licences from a one-time $49 at launch, plus a free plan for 1 website with no credit card. Lifetime pricing steps up as licenses sell, so check the pricing page for the current batch. Current price on the pricing page.
The honest pairing: LLMrefs to see how the answer engines describe you, and a crawl to make sure the pages they are reading deserve the citation. They are adjacent rather than competing.

Final verdict: is LLMrefs worth it?
3.5 out of 5. The best price per tracked prompt I have verified in this category, sold without tier games, and backed by a published review corpus of five words.
- Buy it if you are one brand, or up to about five domains, and you want every engine covered without an upgrade path.
- Buy it if per-seat pricing has been the thing stopping you giving the whole team access.
- Skip it if you run twenty or more client domains, need white-label reporting, or need an annual invoice.
- Check first how many prompts you genuinely need per domain, because that single number decides whether this plan fits.
- Start with the free tools rather than the trial, since they cost nothing and start no clock.
If the harder question is whether your pages are worth citing at all, CrawlRaven answers that one and starts with a free plan for 1 site.

Frequently asked questions
What is LLMrefs?
LLMrefs is a generative AI search analytics platform that tracks how often and where your brand appears in AI-generated answers. It monitors tracked prompts across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Meta AI, records which source URLs those engines cite, and benchmarks you against competitors using share of voice and position metrics. It auto-generates fan-out queries from real user conversations, estimates monthly prompt volumes, geo-targets across 50-plus countries and 20-plus languages, and exports everything by CSV or API. It also ships a set of free tools including an AI crawlability checker, an llms.txt generator, a Reddit threads finder and a query fan-out generator.
How much does LLMrefs cost?
One plan, called All in One, at $79 a month, verified on llmrefs.com/pricing in August 2026. The page labels that price limited time only without stating an end date. A 7-day free trial is offered with the line cancel anytime, no questions asked. No annual rate is published, so there is no yearly discount to calculate, and at $79 a month a year costs $948 and three years cost $2,844. No enterprise tier is priced on the page, and the option to add more keywords to your organization is offered without a published cost. There is no permanently free tracking tier, though the standalone free tools are genuinely free.
How many prompts does LLMrefs track?
500 prompts on the single plan, covering brand mentions, cited sources and fan-out queries, verified August 2026. That works out at about $0.16 per tracked prompt per month, which is the lowest verified unit price I have found in this category. The important qualifier is that the 500 is an account-level pool rather than a per-domain allowance. Because projects and domains are unlimited, adding domains divides the same pool: one domain gets all 500, five domains average 100 each, ten domains average 50 each and twenty-five domains average 20 each. The price per domain falls at the same rate the coverage does.
Which AI engines does LLMrefs track?
The pricing page names eight, all included on the single plan with no engine tiering: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Meta AI. The homepage lists a longer set that also mentions ChatGPT Search, Grok and DeepSeek, so the two pages disagree on the count and the pricing page is the one quoted throughout this review. No engine tiering is a real differentiator here, because several competitors gate Claude, Gemini or Grok behind their most expensive plan and charge two to six times as much for it.
Does LLMrefs have a free plan?
Not for tracking. The pricing page offers a 7-day free trial and the site invites you to create a free account, but no permanently free tracking tier is published, checked August 2026. What is genuinely free is the tools drawer: an AI crawlability checker, an llms.txt generator, a Reddit threads finder, a query fan-out generator, a ChatGPT search query extractor, an AI content optimizer that A/B tests copy across models, an AI content humanizer, and a searchable database of ChatGPT and Gemini prompts drawn from a stated 4.5 million-plus real conversations. Those are useful on their own and are the low-risk way to evaluate the company before paying.
Is LLMrefs cheaper than Indexly?
Per tracked prompt, by a wide margin. LLMrefs is $79 a month for 500 prompts, which is about $0.16 each. Indexly's Starter plan is $99 a month for 50 prompts, which is $1.98 each, and its Growth plan is $299 for 100 prompts, which is $2.99 each. Both verified August 2026. The comparison is not purely a price one, because Indexly also sells auto-indexing, Content Agents that draft and publish, white-label agency reporting and a Google Search Console integration that LLMrefs does not have. If you would use none of those, the premium buys you nothing. If you are an agency reselling branded reports, it may be the entire reason to pay it.
Can LLMrefs replace a technical SEO audit?
No, and it does not claim to. Its AI crawlability checker tests whether an AI bot can read a page's content without executing JavaScript, which is a genuinely useful spot check and a common failure mode for React and Vue sites. It is one page at a time, not a crawl of a site, and it says nothing about redirect chains, canonical conflicts, status codes, orphan pages or crawl depth. Visibility tracking tells you that answer engines are not citing you. A crawl tells you whether they can read you at all, which is usually the cheaper problem to fix first.
What is the best LLMrefs alternative?
It depends what you are missing. Indexly is the platform version of the same job, adding auto-indexing, content publishing and white-label agency reporting at $99 to $499 a month. Otterly, Peec AI and Profound go deeper on citation analysis if visibility is the whole programme rather than one report. And if the real gap is that nobody has checked whether your pages are technically readable and worth citing, CrawlRaven joins Google Search Console, GA4, your imported Ahrefs or Semrush keyword lists and a 200-point technical crawl into one ranked plan, from a one-time launch price rather than a monthly bill.
