Pricing compared
Search Atlas: Priced by OTTO projects, AI credits, seats and content pages. White-label is available from the Pro tier.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $99/mo | 1 OTTO SEO project, 500 AI credits, 1 seat, 40 content pages. |
| Growth | $199/mo | 2 OTTO projects, 1,000 AI credits, 3 seats, 100 content pages. |
| Pro | $399/mo | 4 OTTO projects, 2,000 AI credits, 5 seats, 200 content pages, white-label. |
| Agency | $999/mo | 10 OTTO projects, 10,000 AI credits, 10 seats, 500 content pages, unlimited keywords, white-label reporting. |
Alli AI: Confusingly, the published annual figures are higher per month than the monthly ones on the pricing page; confirm before purchase. Business covers 5 sites, Agency 15, Enterprise 50.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Business | $249/mo | 5 sites, 5 team members, AI Search Visibility Engine, 500 tracked keywords, site speed optimizer, link builder, weekly crawl. |
| Agency | $499/mo | 15 sites, 15 team members, API access, white-label snippet hosting. |
| Enterprise | Custom | 50 sites, 50 team members, full white-label dashboard. |
Entry price is the wrong number to compare on its own. Add seats, add the tier that unlocks the feature you came for, and the gap usually moves. Run both through the stack cost calculator to see the annual figure.
Search Atlas in detail
All-in-one SEO platform whose OTTO agent applies technical fixes, on-page updates, content and link work to a live site rather than only recommending them. OTTO ships AI-oriented technical work (schema, structure, crawlability for AI bots) as part of its automation, but AI-answer prompt tracking is not the headline product.
Strengths
- Closes the gap between recommendation and deployed change
- White-label makes it viable as an agency delivery layer
- 7-day trial with no card required
Limits
- Credit-based pricing makes real monthly cost hard to predict
- Automation applied to a live site needs verification in Search Console
- Broad feature surface means a longer ramp-up than a single-purpose tool

Alli AI in detail
Code-free on-page automation that deploys SEO changes to a live site and pre-renders pages for AI crawlers. Ships an AI Search Visibility Engine that pre-renders pages for 50+ AI crawlers and a live AI bot traffic monitor, which is a genuinely different angle from prompt tracking: it works on crawlability rather than on answers.
Strengths
- Removes the dev bottleneck that stalls most on-page work
- AI crawler pre-rendering addresses a real and under-served problem
- SEO A/B testing is rare outside enterprise platforms
Limits
- $249/mo entry is steep for a single site
- Client-side deployment needs verification in Search Console
- Published monthly and annual figures are inconsistent
