What Peec AI offers as of September 2026
Peec AI has three plans: €95/month for 50 prompts, €245 for 150 prompts and €495 for 350 prompts. Every plan covers 3 engines and includes unlimited seats. Peec states that it scrapes real chat interfaces and offers MCP read/write access. Source: peec.ai/pricing (as of September 2026).
What Peec publishes and what it does not
Peec's homepage, peec.ai, carries 30 numeric claims but no price table and no visible date. It was still cited in 4 of the AI answers we sampled in September 2026. Prices are on the separate pricing page, so an AI engine that reads only the homepage has no Peec price to quote. The prices on this page are dated and linked to the vendor pricing pages.
Prices the AI answers are still quoting wrong
People who ask what to use instead of Peec AI often compare it with Profound, and AI answers we sampled in September 2026 still quote Profound's old self-serve prices:
- A ChatGPT app answer stated: "Profound from $99/mo".
- A Claude answer stated: "Profound | Agency Growth: $99/mo + $399/mo per …".
As of September 2026, Profound offers a 7-day trial, then Enterprise pricing only (custom; reported $2k–5k+/mo), having dropped its self-serve plans in September 2026 (tryprofound.com/pricing). See Profound alternatives for details.
