No commercial relationship between NBound and Semrush. Full disclosures
Quick verdict
The right choice for teams already paying for Semrush SEO tools who want AI visibility inside the same dashboard. Poor value as a standalone AI visibility purchase.
What it costs
AI Toolkit standalone: $99/month per domain
Additional domain: $99/month
Additional user: $99/month
Semrush One Starter: $199/month (SEO + AI, 5 domains)
7-day free trial available
Best for
Teams already subscribed to Semrush who want AI visibility consolidated into the same platform. Less suitable for teams buying AI visibility as their primary tool.
What the Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit is
Semrush launched its AI Visibility Toolkit in 2025 as an add-on to its core SEO platform, and integrated it more tightly into Semrush One in late 2025 and early 2026. The toolkit tracks brand presence in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, with additional AI platforms accessible through Semrush One.
The proposition is the same as Ahrefs Brand Radar: if you already use the parent SEO platform, adding AI visibility consolidates your tooling. Where Semrush differs from Ahrefs is pricing transparency. Semrush publishes clear per-domain pricing, and at $99/month per domain with a 7-day trial option, the entry point is more accessible.
Semrush One packages the AI Toolkit alongside the SEO Classic suite. The Starter plan at $199/month bundles what would cost $239/month if purchased separately, making it credible for teams that need both.
What Semrush AI Visibility tracks
Visibility Overview: Brand citation rate, visibility score, and trend data across tracked AI platforms.
Prompt Research: Draws on 239M+ prompts to identify what questions buyers ask AI engines in your category.
Brand Performance: Historical visibility data, share of voice tracking, competitor comparisons.
Competitor Research: Track up to five competitor brands across the same prompts.
AI Search Site Audit: Technical audit covering AI crawlability, structured data, and content readability for AI extraction.
Daily tracking: Refreshes daily, giving trend data rather than one-off snapshots.
The case for Semrush AI
Consolidation for existing Semrush users. Semrush One Starter at $199/month saves ~$40/month versus buying SEO and AI visibility separately.
AI Search Site Audit. The technical audit covering AI crawlability is more actionable than a generic technical SEO audit for teams working on GEO.
7-day free trial. Test with your actual domain before committing. Peec AI and Profound do not offer this.
Prompt Research database. Access to 239M+ prompts to find what buyers are asking AI in your category.
The case against
Per-domain and per-user pricing scales fast. Add a second domain ($99) and a second user ($99) to the standalone and you are at $297/month for capabilities Peec AI covers at $245/month with unlimited seats.
No sentiment analysis. Unlike Peec AI, Profound, and Scrunch, Semrush does not track whether AI describes your brand positively or negatively.
Limited engine coverage standalone. The standalone toolkit tracks primarily ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. Broader coverage requires Semrush One plans.
VERDICT
Our verdict
Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit is the right choice for teams already subscribed to Semrush who want AI visibility without adding another vendor. Semrush One Starter at $199/month is a clean package for teams that need both SEO and AI tracking in one place.
As a standalone AI visibility purchase, it is outperformed by Peec AI (cheaper, unlimited seats, UI scraping, sentiment analysis) and Scrunch AI (broader engine coverage, native GA4 attribution, 7-day trial at comparable price). The per-domain and per-user pricing structure penalises teams tracking multiple properties or sharing access across a team.
