Starting price
$79/month Source Prices verified October 11, 2026 One plan, All in One, listed at $79 per month marked limited time only, with a 7-day free trial. It lists 500 prompts, unlimited projects and seats, 50+ countries, API access and weekly reports. No annual price is shown, and the FAQ refers to a 50-keyword limit that conflicts with the 500-prompt statement.

Where LLMrefs shines

  • Very low flat price with unlimited projects and seats.
  • Broad engine list: ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Meta AI, with Grok and DeepSeek in the FAQ.
  • API access and CSV export included.
  • Free tools such as an AI crawlability checker, Reddit threads finder and llms.txt generator.

Where buyers look elsewhere

  • One plan only, and the price is flagged as limited time, so future pricing is uncertain.
  • Reports refresh weekly rather than daily.
  • The page contradicts itself on prompt versus keyword limits.
  • No white-label, workspace-level billing or tiers for agencies or enterprise.

Switch to GeoGen if

  • You need daily rather than weekly checks.
  • You are an agency that wants separate plans, billing and roles per client.
  • You want pricing that will stay stable rather than a limited-time offer.
  • You need an MCP server and a CLI.

Stay with LLMrefs if

  • A single $79 plan with 500 prompts covers your needs.
  • Weekly reports are enough.
  • You want unlimited projects and seats and 50+ countries at that price.

What is LLMrefs?

LLMrefs tracks how brands show up in AI search answers. It reports mentions, the sources models cite and the fan-out queries behind answers, across a broad list of engines, and bundles free AI SEO tools. Its distinguishing choice is simplicity: one plan, one price.

Where LLMrefs shines

Value per dollar. The All in One plan lists $79 per month for 500 prompts, unlimited projects and seats, geo-targeting across 50+ countries and 20+ languages, API access and CSV export. Few tools put that much into a single price.

The engine list is also wide, covering ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Meta AI on the plan card, with Grok and DeepSeek in the FAQ. The free tools, including an AI crawlability checker, a Reddit threads finder and an llms.txt generator, are useful on their own.

Where buyers look elsewhere

There is only one plan, and it is marked limited time. That is fine for a solo consultant today, but it makes budgeting for next year a guess. Reports refresh weekly, which suits strategy reviews but not teams who watch changes day to day.

The pricing page contradicts itself on limits: the plan says 500 prompts, while an FAQ asks about a 50-keyword limit. It is worth asking support which applies. Agencies will also miss separate billing, roles and white-label options, because everything sits under one subscription.

LLMrefs vs GeoGen: the real differences

On raw volume LLMrefs wins. 500 prompts and unlimited projects at $79 beats GeoGen’s Standard (EUR 75, 50 prompts, 2 brands) and Growth (EUR 239, 150 prompts, 5 brands).

GeoGen’s case rests on other things:

  • Cadence. GeoGen checks prompts daily on every plan.
  • Structure. Workspaces have their own billing, limits, credits and Viewer, Editor and Admin roles. LLMrefs has one subscription.
  • Traffic. GeoGen tracks AI crawler and referral visits (LLM traffic) with a script.
  • Developer tools. REST API, CLI and MCP server.
  • Engines. 16 supported, 10 read as users see them and 6 through model APIs.

If you are one marketer with a few hundred prompts and weekly reporting is fine, LLMrefs is probably the better value. If you are an agency or need daily data, GeoGen’s model fits better.

Before you decide

Ask LLMrefs support the one question the page leaves open: is the limit 500 prompts or 50 keywords, and how do they differ? Then ask what happens when the limited-time price ends. If the answers are 500 prompts and the price holds, the plan is excellent value for a single marketer. Pair that with a plain test of weekly versus daily: pick ten prompts that change often, such as comparisons and list queries, and see whether weekly snapshots miss swings you care about. If they do not, you may not need daily data at all.

How to switch

  1. Export your prompts and CSV reports from LLMrefs.
  2. Count brands and pick a GeoGen plan. Check that your prompt volume fits (10, 50, 150 or 300 per plan).
  3. Add prompts with language and location, then install the tracking script.
  4. Run both for two weeks to compare daily versus weekly signal.
