AI visibility audit cost depends on scope and evidence quality.
A buyer should compare the number and commercial value of questions, providers, repetitions, retained evidence, human review, and implementation guidance—not only a headline score. RecoProof’s current fixed-scope Recommendation Audit is $499 for the first 5 founding customers; its configured standard price is $750.
Pay for reviewable evidence and a decision, not a mystery number.
Question scope
More commercial questions increase provider runs, evidence review, and interpretation time.
Provider coverage
Cross-model work costs more than a single observation but reveals disagreement that one answer cannot.
Repetitions
Controlled repeats improve confidence but should be targeted, not used to manufacture certainty.
Evidence depth
Raw answers, source URLs, citation ownership, competitor position, and page evidence require more work than a headline score.
Human review
Review is valuable when entity matching, claims, category fit, or recommended actions are consequential.
Deliverable depth
Implementation briefs, owners, priorities, and retest plans go beyond a dashboard export.
A bounded diagnostic purchase.
An audit establishes commercially relevant prompts, measures recommendation and citation evidence, identifies competitor gaps, and prioritizes fixes. It is enough when the immediate job is diagnosis or when the category changes slowly.
A recurring operating cost.
Monitoring tracks an approved question set after a baseline and response process exist. RecoProof’s configured offer is $399/month with a 3-month minimum, available after a completed audit.
Ask these questions before buying.
- Can I inspect the prompt, raw answer, provider or interface, collection date, and citation URLs?
- Are mentions, recommendations, citation rates, and competitor presence reported with clear denominators?
- Are repetitions, model disagreement, extraction confidence, and limitations visible?
- Does a human review consequential findings before implementation priorities are delivered?
- Is monitoring tied to an owner and an action rule, or is it only a recurring dashboard?
AI visibility audit pricing questions.
Is a free AI visibility check enough?
It is useful for a bounded first signal. It is not a substitute for multi-provider evidence, targeted repetitions, deeper competitor diagnosis, or a human-reviewed implementation plan.
Does a higher price mean a better audit?
Not automatically. Compare scope, evidence retention, methodology, limitations, review, and whether the deliverable changes a real business decision.
