QueryTraceOtterly AI and QueryTrace both track how often AI models mention your brand. Otterly AI's entry plan only includes four models by default, Claude and Gemini cost extra, while QueryTrace includes all four core models on every plan.
Otterly AI is an AI search monitoring platform used by over 30,000 marketing professionals, with Claude and Gemini available as paid add-ons.
QueryTrace is the better pick for most people comparing the two: a founder or small team that wants Claude and Gemini included from day one, without paying extra for them.
Otterly AI is worth it only if you're the exception: a team that specifically wants Google AI Overviews and AI Mode tracked by default, and is comfortable paying for Claude and Gemini separately if it needs them too.
