What each tool actually measures
Different questions, different answers. Read the methodology before reading the score.
Accuracy across three models
50–80 questions per scan across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. We compare the answers, flag where they disagree, and check each claim against your site as ground truth. The output is a consensus matrix and (at the $199 tier) a correction playbook.
What we deliberately do not do: rank tracking, keyword research, backlink analysis. We are not a generalist SEO product with an AI surface added on. We are an accuracy product.
"Not bolted onto SEO. Designed for AI from day one."
Visibility share inside an SEO context
SEMRush's AI Visibility tool tracks whether your domain appears in AI responses across a curated set of prompts, with the data presented alongside the rest of the SEMRush dashboard — keywords, backlinks, traffic estimates. The integration is the strength.
For teams running content programs against organic search, having AI visibility as one tab inside the same workspace is a real convenience. The product is competent. It is also clearly a product extension, not a category bet.
"AI visibility alongside the rest of your SEO stack."

Where each tool genuinely wins
SEMRush is a category-defining SEO product. Their AI Visibility module benefits from that history.
Where misquoted is the better pick
When AI accuracy is a real problem and not a tab on a dashboard.
- 01You don't already pay for SEMRush.$99/mo-per-domain on top of a $140+/mo base plan is a meaningful starting cost. Our $49 one-time tier is one-third of one month of SEMRush.
- 02Built for AI from day one, not bolted on.Consensus matrix, accuracy scoring, correction playbook — these are first-class outputs, not add-on widgets.
- 03Editorial reports designed for sharing.The $199 PDF reads like a magazine feature, not a CSV. Forwardable to executives.
- 04Multi-brand bundles.3 brands for $899/mo, 10 for $1,999/mo. SEMRush charges per domain at $99/mo each — that's $990/mo for 10 domains, no bundle discount.
- 05Method-first methodology.Our scan is the product. SEMRush AI Visibility is a feature inside something larger. You can tell.
Where SEMRush AI Visibility is the better pick
If you already run SEO inside SEMRush, the answer is probably them.
- 01One workspace, one tool.AI visibility lives in the same dashboard as your keyword tracking, backlinks, and traffic estimates. No tab-switching, no second login.
- 02SEO data context.Seeing your AI visibility next to your organic share-of-voice and your keyword positions tells a richer story than either tool alone.
- 03Established team and roadmap.SEMRush is a public company with deep resources. Their AI module will keep getting investment.
Total cost of ownership
For a team that doesn't already pay for SEMRush.
misquoted.ai — Monitor Standard 1 brand
- Monthly 3-model consensus scans
- No additional SEO suite required
- $199 correction playbook available separately
- Multi-brand bundles at $899 (3), $1,999 (10)
Or skip monitoring and buy a one-time report. Either path keeps you under SEMRush's effective annual minimum.
SEMRush AI Visibility — Standalone
- $99/mo AI Visibility add-on
- $140/mo SEMRush Pro base plan (required)
- Per-domain pricing — 5 domains = $639/mo
- Includes full SEO suite (keyword, backlinks, etc.)
If you already pay for SEMRush, the marginal cost is $99/mo for the AI Visibility add-on. The "real" cost depends on whether the SEO suite was already a sunk cost.
Already in SEMRush? Stay. Not? Look elsewhere.
If your team already runs SEO inside SEMRush, adding AI Visibility for $99/mo per domain is the path of least resistance. Same dashboard, same workflow, same data exports. The integration is the product. We do not begrudge that decision.
If you don't already pay for SEMRush, the math gets uncomfortable. You're looking at $239/mo minimum for AI visibility wrapped in an SEO suite you don't need. misquoted's $49 one-time tier or $399/mo monitor handles the AI question directly, without the suite tax.
And if AI accuracy — not just visibility — is the actual question, the products diverge regardless of pricing. SEMRush tracks whether you appear. We check whether what they say is right.
