Why 99Visibility Wins
- Every audit ends in ranked fixes, each with a priority and an effort estimate, not only a chart of where you appear.
- On every paid plan, from Starter ($49/mo). Claude is not among Otterly's listed platforms (unverified); Copilot is, and we do not cover it.
- Checks what AI says against the facts you enter, so you see which answers are wrong and how serious each error is.
- Public prices from $49/mo and a Free plan with no card.

99Visibility vs Otterly AI: Overview
Otterly AI tracks brand mentions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot (unverified). For a team whose question is where it appears in AI search, a tracking dashboard answers it.
99Visibility answers a wider question: where you appear, where you do not, what AI gets wrong about you, and what to fix first. It audits ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, checks each answer against your facts and ends every audit with ranked fixes.
Key Differences
Tracking and fixing. Seeing where you appear is the first half. The second half is the list of what to change, and 99Visibility writes it from what the audit found: a crawler your robots.txt or firewall blocks, a snippet control hiding your text, a fact an engine gets wrong.
Platform coverage. 99Visibility covers ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude. Otterly lists Copilot and not Claude (unverified). We do not query Microsoft Copilot, so if Copilot is where your buyers are, weigh that.
Accuracy. "You appear in 60% of answers" reads differently when some of those answers quote a price you no longer charge. 99Visibility checks every answer against your facts and gives each wrong claim a severity.
Every answer is read against the facts in your brand profile: price, founding year, location and features. Each flag carries a severity of critical, moderate or minor. A wrong price is moderate, and the fix it triggers, "AI quotes the wrong price for [brand]", is ranked critical because buyers act on a price.
On Free you see how many answers contradict your facts; what each flag says starts on Starter. When an audit finds a critical flag, we email you as the audit finishes. That is one alert per audit, not continuous monitoring, and on Starter and up you can schedule weekly or monthly re-audits.
What happens after the audit
Every audit ends in a ranked fix list. Each fix has a title, the action, the reason, a priority from critical to low and an effort of about 30 minutes, 1-2 hours or 3+ hours. When robots.txt blocks OpenAI's search crawler, the fix reads "ChatGPT search cannot see your site — OAI-SearchBot is blocked in robots.txt": critical, about 30 minutes, with the line in your file that causes it.
The fixes are subtractive and sourced: remove a crawler block, a stray snippet control or a wrong fact. The list never tells you to add schema or rewrite pages to get cited, because the evidence does not support it. On Starter ($49/mo) and up, each fix also has a step-by-step guide.
Every plan, Free included, checks whether 18 AI crawlers can reach your site: robots.txt for each one, and a request as each crawler to see what your firewall answers. Each finding quotes what the vendor says a block costs, so a ChatGPT search block ranks critical and a training-only block ranks low.
