ZeroRank is a capable AEO platform — but at $76/mo with no permanent free plan, it's harder to justify for teams exploring AI search visibility for the first time.
AEO Metrics Growth is $49/mo. ZeroRank Starter is $76/mo — for a narrower set of AI engines on the base plan.
AEO Metrics has a permanent free tier with no time limit. ZeroRank offers only a 7-day trial before requiring payment.
AEO Metrics tracks Google AI Mode in every plan. ZeroRank's base plan focuses on ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews.
