Surfer does two jobs, so pick the half you want to replace. For the content editor: NeuronWriter from $23 a month, Frase from $39 billed yearly, Clearscope from $129. For the AI tracker: Placton from $59, which adds Claude and Grok but has no SEO score.

| If you want | Pick | From, a month | What you give up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Track Claude and Grok, which Surfer does not | Placton | $59 | You give up: SEO score, Google rankings, WordPress and API: Placton has none of them. Three of its five AIs run weekly. |
| Keep an editor and pay as little as you can | NeuronWriter | $23 | You give up: Real AI tracking: 5 to 20 questions in an add-on, with no Claude or Grok. |
| An editor and AI tracking in one cheap plan | Frase | $39billed yearly | You give up: Most AIs on the entry plan: it tracks two. Claude needs Scale ($239 billed yearly) and Grok needs Enterprise. |
| An editor for a team of writers | Clearscope | $129 | You give up: Volume at this price: 50 queries. Its tracking stops at ChatGPT and Gemini. |
| An editor inside a full SEO suite | SE Ranking | €109as shown to us | You give up: Simplicity: you pay for a whole suite even if you only want the editor. |
| Page-level signals, for technical SEOs | Page Optimizer Pro | $40 | You give up: Room to work: 20 credits on the entry plan. No Grok. |
| AI tracking only, refreshed every day | Peec AI | $95 | You give up: Any editor. Claude and Grok need Enterprise. |
What Placton does not replace. It has no SEO content score, no Google rank tracking, no WordPress or Google Docs connection and no API. If that is why you pay for Surfer, pick NeuronWriter, Frase or Clearscope and stop reading here.
Where Surfer beats us. Its tracker-only plan gives about 7,500 AI answers a month for $95. Placton Growth gives about 5,400 for $129. And if your writers use its editor every day, you may be better off staying.
Seven tools, with what each one replaces and where it falls short. Prices come from each maker’s pricing page, read on . We did not test them hands-on.
AI tracker with a writer
$59/ month
$602 billed yearly ($50.17 a month). Growth is $129 and Scale $299.
Best for: Teams that want to know what the AIs say about them, Claude and Grok included, and want a first draft for the questions where they are missing.
Weak point: No SEO content score, no Google rank tracking, no WordPress or Google Docs connection, no API, no data exports. Claude, Perplexity and Grok run weekly and through their APIs. It is also new: live since October 2026, with no public reviews yet.
Content editor
$23/ month
Then $45, $69, $93 and $117. Yearly billing gives 2 months free.
Best for: Solo writers and small teams who want an editor like Surfer’s for much less. It is the direct cheap swap.
Weak point: AI tracking is a small add-on, and it covers neither Claude nor Grok.
Per its pricing page, read November 2, 2026
Editor and AI tracking
$39/ month
Billed yearly. $49 appears struck through, which looks like the monthly price. Larger plans: $103 and $239 billed yearly.
Best for: Anyone who wants both jobs in one cheap plan. At this price it is our most direct rival, and it publishes to your CMS, which Placton does not.
Weak point: The entry plan tracks two AIs. The full list needs Scale or Enterprise.
Per its pricing page, read November 2, 2026
Content editor for teams
$129/ month
Then $399, and custom.
Best for: Editorial teams with many writers, since users are unlimited.
Weak point: You get 50 queries for $129, and tracking stops at ChatGPT and Gemini.
Per its pricing page, read November 2, 2026
SEO suite with an editor
€109/ month
In euros, as the page showed us. Core reads €109 and €87.20, Growth €235 and €188; the labels are unclear and we take the lower figure as yearly.
Best for: Replacing Surfer and a separate rank tracker in one move. Surfer itself says it is not a generic rank tracker.
Weak point: A whole suite to pay for if you only want the editor, and we could only read its prices in euros.
Per its pricing page, read November 2, 2026
On-page optimizer
$40/ month
Then $72 and $143.
Best for: Technical SEOs who care more about page signals than about a writing tool.
Weak point: Plans are counted in credits, with 20 on the entry plan, and Grok is not on its list.
Per its pricing page, read November 2, 2026
AI tracker only
$95/ month
Then $245 and $495.
Best for: Teams that only want to measure, every day, with a seat for everyone.
Weak point: There is no editor at all, and Claude and Grok need Enterprise.
Per its pricing page, read November 2, 2026Peec AI compared with Placton, plan by plan
* On paid plans. ChatGPT is read on chatgpt.com in every country Placton tracks except Venezuela and Puerto Rico, where it is asked weekly through its API.
Others you will see named. MarketMuse came up in all five AI answers below, but it publishes no price beyond a Free plan with 10 queries, and its pricing page does not mention AI search. Content Harmony runs from $50 to $799 with unlimited users and suits briefs for outside writers, with no AI tracking. We left Scalenut out because the prices we read on its page conflict. If you already pay for Semrush, see how its AI toolkit compares. Comparing trackers? Profound came up in all five tracker answers below, and here is how it compares.
Of the 14 alternatives pages we read, none shows what the AIs actually answer. So on we asked ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Perplexity and Grok with Placton’s own engine: once about Surfer SEO and once about its AI Tracker.

The two halves really are two markets. Ask about Surfer SEO and you get editors. Ask about its AI Tracker and you get a different list. On the editor question, only Claude and Grok brought up any tracker at all. That is why a single “top 7” does not help you.
Sources barely overlap. Across the five editor answers the AIs cited 30 sites, and only 2 of them (Frase and Zutrix) were cited by more than one AI. The one page that stands out is on the tracker side: Rankability’s list, cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok.
Read it as a snapshot. This is one reading per AI, on one day, from the United States, in English. Answers change between runs, which is why Placton repeats each question and publishes how it handles the margin of error.

ChatGPT: read on chatgpt.com, logged out, with web search on, with gpt-6.Google AI Overviews: the AI Overview Google shows above its results.Claude: asked through its API with live web search, with claude-haiku-5-5.Perplexity: asked through its API, which always searches, with sonar.Grok: asked through its API with live web search, with grok-4.3.The question went in as written, with no brand and no instructions. Names were read with the same reader the product uses and then checked by hand: one name per vendor, in the order the answer presents them, without Surfer or its own Keyword Surfer extension. Google’s answer wrote “Athena”, which we counted as AthenaHQ, and “Peak AI” and “Goody AI”, which we left as written. Perplexity listed Semrush, Ahrefs and SE Ranking under classic rank tracking, not AI tracking.
Surfer SEO and Surfer AI are the same company: the old pricing address now redirects to a new one on a .ai domain. It has been around since 2018, counts more than 150,000 users and now calls itself an AI visibility platform. It sells two products.
Live guidance on structure, words and terms, built from Google’s top 10 and pages AI cites, with a Content Score on top. Higher plans add internal linking, cannibalization checks, templates and voices. Surfer also says what it is not: a link index, a technical crawler, a Core Web Vitals tool or a generic rank tracker.
Mention rate, average position, visibility, share against rivals, tone, cited sources, fan-out and a Mention Gap, on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews and Gemini. By its own account it reads each AI’s real interface. Since October 5, 2026 it also recommends actions and lets you buy mentions, with PRNEWS and 4media as its newest providers.

On answers per dollar, Surfer wins. Its tracker-only plan asks 50 prompts on five AIs every day: about 7,500 answers a month, at around 1.3 cents each. Placton asks two AIs daily and three weekly: 5,400 answers on Growth at 2.4 cents, and 18,000 on Scale at 1.7. Per prompt it flips from 75 prompts up ($1.72 against $1.90), because of those weekly AIs. These counts are our own math. Placton costs less to start, includes a writer and covers Claude and Grok; if none of that matters to you, buy Surfer’s plan.
Count them: Surfer wins 12 rows, Placton 3, and 5 depend on what you need. Our three are the reason Placton exists: Claude and Grok, a lower entry price and a trial with no card.

We run 18 checks on what helps AI assistants find, read and cite your site, and tell you what to fix first.

The reading above is the start of the work, not the end. These are the three parts of the dashboard that pick it up, shown on the same questions.
Where you are missing
It lists each question you track next to each AI, starting with those where no AI names or cites you. Red means no answer brings you up, orange means under half, green means half or more.
Click a count to read those answers, see who shows up instead, and start a text for that question from the same row.
Improvements
Each week you get 3 tasks on Starter, 5 on Growth and 8 on Scale. The code picks each one from a closed list of 17 actions and shows the pages that decide that question, whether each page names you or your rival, and how solid the advice is: strong evidence, medium evidence or a bet.
Then it re-reads those pages every week to check whether it happened. What to expect: a few points over 8 weeks in answers that search, and little or nothing in closed lists. Placton never sends anything for you.
Writer
Pick a question and ask for an article or a ranking. The Writer reads what the AIs answered, what they cite and what they search in the background, plus the top of Google and your own site. What only you know stays as a marked gap: it does not invent figures, customers or opinions. In a ranking your brand goes first, with a visible notice that you publish it.
It takes 1 or 2 minutes. You edit it in place, then copy it or export it to HTML, Markdown or Word. Plans include 5, 15 or 40 texts a month, and the trial 1. It is not Surfer’s editor: there is no term guidance or live SEO score, and publishing a text does not guarantee they name you.
The editor has real fans. The evidence that the score moves rankings is thin, and that goes for every tool in this category.
What the score is. The Content Score adds an SEO Score and an AI Search Score. Under 33 is insufficient, 33 to 66 partial, above 66 ready. Surfer’s own advice is to sit 10 to 20 points above your rivals, not to chase 100, and it notes that the AI Search Score does not look at competitors yet.
What Surfer’s study found. Its Content Score study, updated September 9, 2026, covers 10,000 queries and the top 100 results: a Spearman correlation of 0.28 between score and position, from 0.19 to about 0.30 depending on intent. Squared, that is roughly 8% of the variation by our rough math. It comes from the maker, and it is a correlation, not an experiment.
What Ahrefs found. Its 2025 study of 20 keywords and five tools found weak correlations across the board, with Surfer among the very weak. Ahrefs sells one of the five, which came out among the best. We have found no controlled experiment on any of them.
What buyers say. On Trustpilot (opens in a new tab) Surfer held 4.2 out of 5 from 223 reviews on , 39 of them in the last 12 months. The editor gets the most praise, for live guidance and for briefing outside writers. The complaints are about prices at renewal, charges after cancelling and high scores with no rise in rankings. Those are individual accounts we did not verify.
Nothing here is hard, but the order matters, because on yearly billing the money is already gone.
You turn off renewal in Billing and keep access until the paid period ends. On yearly billing you paid upfront, so the cheapest moment to move is close to that date.
Copy or export finished documents and write down your guidelines. Unused documents do not roll over, and we did not check which plans include Data Export, so look at yours. If you are still on the trial, cancelling expires the account and you lose what you saved.
Run two or three of your own pages through it and compare the guidance. Frase gives 7 days without a card, SE Ranking 14 days without a card, and NeuronWriter 7 days once you register. Keep Surfer open while you do it.
Placton cannot import another tool’s history, so copy your questions and competitors by hand and run both for a week. Gemini and AI Mode have no equivalent in Placton, so keep that in mind if you watch them.
For a lot of teams the right alternative is none of the above. Stay if:
Live term guidance is what its buyers praise most, and Placton has none. Changing a process that works costs more than the price difference.
AI Search Analytics gives about 7,500 answers a month for $95, around 1.3 cents each. Placton Growth gives about 5,400 for $129, around 2.4 cents.
Surfer tracks both, and Placton tracks neither. If you do not need Claude or Grok, you lose nothing by staying.
Surfer refreshes its five every day on its larger plans. Placton does that for ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews and asks the other three weekly.
Standard connects WordPress and Google Docs, and Peace of Mind adds an API and Zapier. Placton hands you a text to copy, or to export to HTML, Markdown or Word.
Surfer has been around since 2018, with reviews on three sites. Placton went live in October 2026 and has no public reviews yet.
Everything we say about Surfer and the other tools comes from these pages, on these dates. We have not used Surfer’s app, and we could not read Reddit, G2 or Capterra.
About Placton itself? Read the full FAQs or see every plan and price.
It depends on which half you are replacing. For the editor on a budget, NeuronWriter at $23 a month. For the editor plus AI tracking in one plan, Frase from $39 billed yearly. For a team of writers, Clearscope at $129. To track Claude and Grok, which Surfer does not, Placton from $59, which has no SEO score. Prices read on November 2, 2026.
None of the tools we read gives you a full editor free for good. The closest are MarketMuse’s Free plan, with 10 queries, and Content Harmony’s $10 trial with 10 credits. For a trial with no card, Frase gives 7 days and SE Ranking 14. If what you want is to see what AI can read on your site, Placton’s free audit needs no account.
No, there is no free plan. New accounts get 7 days of Pro, with payment details at the start, and it turns into a paid plan unless you cancel. Surfer does offer some free tools: the Keyword Surfer extension, an AI detector, a humanizer, Surfer Pulse and a visibility audit.
The editor is what its buyers praise most. On Trustpilot it held 4.2 out of 5 from 223 reviews on November 2, 2026, with complaints about renewal prices, charges after cancelling and scores that did not lift rankings. Surfer’s own study puts the correlation between Content Score and position at 0.28, which is weak. We have not used the app, because the trial asks for payment details.
No. Google AI Overviews lean on pages Google has indexed, and ChatGPT, Perplexity and Grok search the web before they answer, so pages that rank still feed AI answers. What changed is that you now have a second place to check: what those answers say about you.
Yes. The old Surfer SEO pricing address redirects to a new one on a .ai domain, and the help center still carries the old name. Any page that calls them two tools is out of date.
Not in its tracker. Its plan table lists ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews and Gemini, and its AI instructions page says not to state that the tracker monitors Claude, even though its menu mentions Claude. Claude appears only as an MCP client, and Grok appears nowhere. Placton asks both weekly on every plan.
For the editor, NeuronWriter at $23 a month. For AI tracking alone, Otterly.AI Lite starts at $29 (checked October 24, 2026). Placton starts at $59 and includes Claude and Grok.
On price per client, Placton’s Agency plan is $15 per client plus prompts: $155 a month for 5 clients and 50 prompts, with no white label or combined dashboard. For unlimited users, Clearscope at $129 tracks only ChatGPT and Gemini, and Peec AI at $95 has no editor. Surfer Pro at $219 gives 5 workspaces and keeps the editor.
In editors, Frase, Clearscope, NeuronWriter and MarketMuse: all five AIs we asked named those four. In suites, Semrush, SE Ranking and Ahrefs. In AI tracking, Profound, Peec AI and Otterly.AI came up most, and Placton competes there too, though no AI named it when we asked.
No. We read each maker’s pricing page and Surfer’s help center on November 2, 2026, and we asked the five AIs with Placton’s own engine. We did not use Surfer’s app, and we could not read Reddit, G2 or Capterra, where the frankest buyers are. Prices change, so check the official page before you decide.
