Where Peec AI is stronger

  • Models on a self-serve plan. Starter, Pro and Advanced let you choose three of ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI, and Enterprise adds more (pricing page, 29 Sep 2026). The Ranking Factory does not list Copilot and does not measure AI Mode as a surface.
  • Collection from the consumer interface. Peec says it uses UI scraping to interact with AI platforms as real users do (docs, 29 Sep 2026). The Ranking Factory's scores come from the engines' APIs.
  • Beyond visibility. Peec lists Brand Perception (attributes, objections and fact-checking against facts you set), an Ads library, Query Fanouts, crawl insights from log integrations and AI referral visits (pricing page, changelog, 29 Sep 2026). The Ranking Factory does not yet measure AI-referral visits for customers.
  • Data access. MCP and custom CSV exports come with every brand plan (pricing page). The Ranking Factory reaches your data through its MCP server and PDF audit reports.
  • Agencies. Peec sells agency plans with a credit allocation, unlimited client workspaces without per-seat fees, and free 7-day pitch projects (agency pricing page, 29 Sep 2026).

Where The Ranking Factory differs

  • Action after measuring. Peec's pages end in ranked actions, each with evidence and a brief that the user carries out, and state no native content writing or publishing (docs, 29 Sep 2026). The Ranking Factory writes the evidence from the business's own material and publishes it on the business's own site.
  • AI-written content. Peec's documentation warns that raw AI-generated content published at scale can hurt visibility, and cites advice to use AI as a writing assistant (docs, 29 Sep 2026). The Ranking Factory does publish AI-written pages, with these controls: writers use only the business's own pages, videos and statements and sources they have read; unsupported figures and unsourced superlatives are cut before publishing; and review-before-publishing is a setting.
  • Who pays for the queries. Peec's plan price covers the answers it collects: Starter includes 4,500 AI answers a month, calculated from tracked prompts, active models and tracking frequency (pricing page, 29 Sep 2026). The Ranking Factory asks the engines through your own AI keys, and Google AI Overview checks use your own DataForSEO credit. For scale, on our own account in September 2026 a weekly run of 10 questions on two or three engines with live search cost $0.55 on average and $1.09 at most, about $2.40 a month per project; writing costs extra and varies with how much is written.
  • Ranges and sample sizes. Every rate carries a 95% range and the number of prompt-and-engine pairs behind it. Peec's metric page defines Visibility Score as responses mentioning your brand over total responses, times 100, and does not describe ranges or sample sizes there (docs, 29 Sep 2026).
  • White label. Peec's white-label answer points to Data Studio templates whose branding and layout you design (agency page and agency pricing page, 29 Sep 2026). The Ranking Factory's Agency plan lists white-label reports with your logo and details.

From our own account, read on 20 September 2026: 32% → 84% of Gemini’s live-search answers cited therankingfactory.com — 6 of 19 on 15 August 2026, 16 of 19 on 24 August 2026, nine days apart on the same model and the same prompt set. In the same 24 August run OpenAI’s live search cited us in 64% of answers (16 of 25) and Perplexity in 40% (10 of 25). Some prompts carry our name, and the run says which.
