Prompts × platforms × runs: the number behind every plan
Every AI visibility plan is really a limit on one quantity: how many answers get collected. Multiply four numbers and you can read any pricing page in a minute.
AI visibility pricing pages talk in prompts, credits, responses, projects and models. It looks like every vendor invented its own currency. Underneath, nearly all of them are rationing the same thing: the number of AI answers they collect and analyse for you each month.
That number comes from four inputs. Learn the sum and you can translate almost any plan into the same unit.
The sum
Answers a month = prompts × platforms × brands × runs a month
Try it with your own numbers. Move the sliders and watch how quickly the total grows.
Interactive counter unavailable. Worked example: 25 prompts on 3 platforms, weekly, for one brand is about 327 answers a month.
Why the multiplication matters
Each input multiplies the others, so small changes add up fast. Going from weekly to daily multiplies the work by seven. Adding a fourth platform adds a third more. An agency tracking five clients does five times the work of one brand, even with identical prompts.
Same 25 prompts, three different set-ups
| Set-up | Platforms | Runs a month | Answers a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| One brand, weekly | 3 | 4.3 | about 327 |
| One brand, daily | 3 | 30.4 | about 2,283 |
| Five clients, daily | 3 | 30.4 | about 11,415 |
Reading real plans with the sum
Some providers publish the answer count directly, which makes them easy to check. Promptmonitor lists a monthly allowance of AI answers on each plan. HubSpot AEO’s standalone offer states daily prompts and a monthly answer total on three named platforms. When a plan gives you both prompts and answers, divide one by the other to see how many runs and platforms the price really covers.
Others state prompts and a schedule but leave platforms to your choice. Peec AI, for example, lets you choose a set number of models on each plan and tracks daily. There, the sum is yours to do: prompts × chosen models × 30 runs.
A third group sells credits. Credits are a separate unit, and how many credits one answer costs is often not published. We never convert credits into answers on this site, because a guess would be worse than an honest gap. Our piece on credits, prompts and answers explains how to ask the right question.
Where the sum stops working
- Prompt limits are often shared. “100 prompts” can mean 100 across all your brands, not 100 each.
- Weekly is four or five runs. Calendar months contain four or five weeks, so a weekly allowance can run short in long months.
- Extra models may cost extra. Some plans include a fixed number of platforms and charge for more.
- Work beyond tracking such as audits, content writing or reports often has its own allowance.
The calculator applies these limits plan by plan, using each provider’s published offer, and keeps anything unconfirmed out of the price order.
