Why does the per-engine add-on pricing on Peec matter?

Peec's floor tier covers 3 engines, and adding the remaining engines you might want to track (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) is billed at +$30, +$70, or +$140 per engine. A team that wants all 5 mainstream engines covered at Peec's $89 tier will pay add-ons on top, and pricing predictability suffers as engine coverage grows. AI Radar's $29 tier includes all 5 engines flat with no per-engine surcharge. The AI Radar pricing scales by client domain ($35 each past the included 5 on Agency), not by engine count.

What does the 3-pass confidence band on AI Radar Agency mean?

AI engine responses are probabilistic. Run the same prompt twice and you may see different citations. Single-shot tracking, which is what Peec and every funded competitor in the category ship, reports one query result as the citation reading for that week. AI Radar's Agency tier runs each prompt 3 times per engine per week and averages the result into a confidence band on the dashboard (e.g. cited in 2 of 3 passes). The Agency view tells the customer not just whether they were cited but how reliably across multiple queries of the same prompt.

Can WhyIQ AI Radar replace Peec AI?

Yes, for the multi-engine weekly citation tracking job both products target. AI Radar matches Peec's mid-market and agency positioning, with broader engine coverage at one-third the floor price, no per-engine surcharges, and the 3-pass confidence band on Agency. Peec's specific moats are its Slack alerts integration and its multi-country tracking at the mid tier. AI Radar does not yet ship country-level tracking; that is a roadmap item gated on demand signal.

What engines does AI Radar cover at the $29 tier?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. All 5 are included on the free Light tier, the $29 SMB tier, and the $149 Agency tier. No per-engine add-on charges. Grok and Microsoft Copilot are NOT in the bundle today, and AI Radar does not market them as included until pricing for those engines is finalized.

What does WhyIQ AI Radar cost compared to Peec AI?

AI Radar's SMB tier is $29/mo for 30 prompts × 5 engines × weekly checks. AI Radar's Agency tier is $149/mo for 40 prompts per client across 5 client domains with 3-pass weekly tracking. Additional Agency client domains are $35 each. Peec AI's floor tier is $89-95/mo for 25-50 prompts × 3 engines × 1 project, with per-engine add-ons (+$30, +$70, +$140). Peec's mid tier is $199-245/mo for 100-150 prompts, 5 countries, and Slack alerts. The AI Radar floor is roughly one-third of Peec's floor with broader engine coverage.

What does WhyIQ AI Radar NOT replace from Peec AI?

Peec's multi-country tracking at the mid tier and its Slack alerts integration are features AI Radar does not ship today. Customers whose tracking scope requires country-level segmentation for European or APAC markets, or who route monitoring alerts through Slack as their primary workflow, will continue to evaluate Peec on those features. Both are on the AI Radar roadmap, gated on customer demand signal.

5 engines flat vs 3 engines plus per-engine add-ons

Peec AI starts at $89 with 3 engines. AI Radar starts at $29 with 5 engines flat.

Q: How is WhyIQ AI Radar different from Peec AI?

Peec AI's $89-95/mo floor tier covers 3 AI engines, 25-50 prompts, and 1 project, with per-engine add-ons at +$30, +$70, +$140 each to expand engine coverage. Peec's mid tier ($199-245/mo) reaches 100-150 prompts and 5 countries with Slack alerts. WhyIQ AI Radar's $29/mo SMB tier covers 5 engines flat (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) and 30 prompts weekly, with no per-engine add-ons. AI Radar's Agency tier ($149/mo) runs 3 passes per prompt per week and averages them into a confidence band on the dashboard. Both products target similar mid-market and agency buyers; the engine bundle, pricing structure, and multi-pass measurement differ.

Peec AI's floor tier covers 3 AI engines and 25-50 prompts, with per-engine add-ons (+$30, +$70, +$140) to expand coverage. WhyIQ AI Radar's SMB tier covers 5 engines flat (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) and 30 prompts weekly at one-third the price, with no engine surcharges. Agency ($149/mo) adds a 3-pass confidence band so the data is not single-shot noise.

What WhyIQ AI Radar replaces

The parts of Peec a $29 tier with 5 engines does instead

Peec AI is a working mid-market citation tracker. AI Radar covers the same job with flat engine pricing, lower floor price, and a measurement integrity layer on Agency.

The per-engine add-on tax

Peec's floor tier covers 3 engines, with extra engines billed at +$30, +$70, or +$140 each. A team that wants all 5 mainstream AI engines tracked at Peec's $89 tier ends up stacking add-ons. AI Radar's $29 SMB tier covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews flat with no engine surcharge.

The 3x floor price difference

Peec's floor is $89-95/mo. AI Radar's SMB floor is $29/mo. Even before per-engine add-ons, AI Radar covers 5 engines and 30 prompts at one-third of Peec's floor. Teams with a tight monthly budget but a real need to track AI citations across multiple engines have a clear price advantage.

Single-shot noise as signal

AI engine responses are probabilistic. Single-shot tracking reports one query result as the weekly citation reading. AI Radar Agency runs each prompt 3 times per engine per week and averages into a confidence band, so customers see whether they were cited reliably or just once in a noisy sample. The loudest review-site complaint in the AI citation category.

Page-level citation attribution

When an engine cites your domain, AI Radar's query bank carries the intended target page per prompt and flags whether the engine landed on it (full win) or a different page (partial win). Peec, like most weekly citation tools, surfaces only the domain-level cite without the target-page match.

Honest about limits

What WhyIQ AI Radar does not replace

Peec ships features AI Radar does not, and customers whose workflows depend on those features will continue to choose Peec.

Peec's multi-country tracking at the mid tier (AI Radar is single-market today)

Slack alerts integration as a primary monitoring workflow

Existing Peec API integrations or webhook endpoints already wired into your stack

Buyer profiles selecting tools by European mid-market venture-backed brand recognition

When each is the right call

Use AI Radar when

You want all 5 mainstream AI engines tracked at the floor price with no per-engine add-ons
Predictable monthly pricing matters and per-engine surcharges are friction
Single-shot citation readings feel noisy and you want a 3-pass confidence band on Agency
Page-level attribution (did the engine cite the intended page?) matters for content QA
You run an agency with 1 to 10 client domains and want $35-each flat scaling past the included 5
You already use WhyIQ Scanner and want the citation product on the same domain

Use Peec AI when

Multi-country tracking for European or APAC markets is a load-bearing feature
Slack alerts integration is the primary monitoring workflow
3 engines at the floor tier covers the engine bundle you actually need
An existing Peec integration, dashboard, or API wiring is already in place
