How we compared
We read Semrush's AI Visibility Toolkit pricing page, its Semrush One plans and its help docs, and compared list prices, tracked prompts, engines covered and per-domain limits. AnswerTrack figures come from our own billing configuration. We did not run both tools on the same prompts, so this compares what each plan includes, not answer quality.
