Who should pick which
The right tool depends on your job.
Both are good tools. Here is where each one is stronger.
Pick Kliqo if
- From $79/mo[1]
- 50 prompts
- You want more prompts for less: 50 for $79/mo, against 25 for $99 on the toolkit.
- You want to try it first: a 7-day trial, where the toolkit has none.
- You want suggested actions after every scan, each linked to the answers behind it, and the before/after once you finish one.
- You want your team in at no extra cost: unlimited seats, where each toolkit user needs another $99 licence.
- Your site is on Cloudflare and you want real AI crawler visits, verified by IP, not only robots.txt checks.
How Kliqo works
From the answer to the fix to the proof.
Kliqo is built for founders who want to know whether AI recommends them or a competitor, what to change, and whether it worked.
See who AI recommends
Every night Kliqo asks your buyers’ questions on 3 AI engines and records which brands each answer names, recommends and ranks first.
Get the fix, with the evidence
After every scan you get suggested actions ranked by impact, each linked to the answers and sources behind it.
See what changed
When you mark an action done, Impact compares the 14 days before with the 14 days after, on the same prompts and models.
See which AI crawlers really visit, verified by IP.
Connect your site through Cloudflare and Crawl insights records every AI crawler visit, checks it against the AI company’s published IP addresses, and shows the pages it read and the errors it hit. Included in every plan, with a 7-day free trial.
Is Kliqo cheaper than Semrush’s AI Visibility Toolkit?
On list prices as of October 13, 2026, yes. The toolkit is $99/mo per user for 25 prompts tracked daily, and 50 more prompts cost $60/mo. Kliqo’s plans are $79, $199 and $449 a month for 50, 150 and 400 prompts. Per prompt that is $1.58 on Kliqo's Starter against $3.96 on the toolkit. Semrush One, which adds the SEO toolkit, is $199, $299 and $549 for 50, 100 and 200 prompts.
Which AI engines does Semrush track?
It depends on the report. Semrush's help center lists ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and Gemini for Prompt Tracking (desktop only), and another of its pages adds AI Overviews; Brand Performance also covers Perplexity. Kliqo’s plans include 3 engines chosen from ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini and Copilot, and more are a monthly add-on.
Does Semrush have a free trial?
Not for the AI Visibility Toolkit, its help center says. Semrush One has a 7-day trial that needs a card, and Semrush doesn't refund monthly plans. Kliqo’s trial is 7 days with a card up front, 50 prompts and 3 engines, one trial per card.
Does Semrush track AI crawlers?
Its Site Audit checks whether robots.txt blocks 8 AI search bots, on up to 100 pages with the toolkit. Log file analysis of real bot visits is part of Semrush Enterprise, and the pages don't mention IP checks. Kliqo’s Crawl insights is on every plan for sites on Cloudflare and marks a visit as verified when it comes from the AI company’s published IP addresses.
Does Semrush suggest what to fix?
Its Brand Performance report gives recommendations to refine your brand's positioning, and its help center describes daily and weekly trends rather than a before/after measurement. Kliqo suggests actions after every scan, each linked to the answers behind it, and compares the 14 days before and after each finished action on the same prompts and models.
