Two tools. Same problem: you can't see if AI is recommending your brand.
Anchor and Peec AI both measure GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) performance — how often and how accurately AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini mention your brand. But they solve it for very different users.
What Each Tool Does
Peec AI is a continuous AI search monitoring platform. You configure prompts, connect your brand and competitors, and get ongoing dashboards tracking visibility, position, and sentiment across AI engines. It's built for marketing teams that need to track dozens of prompts across multiple markets on a daily or weekly basis. They've raised $29M and serve 2,000+ teams.
Anchor is an on-demand AI brand visibility scanner. You enter a brand name and keyword, and get a scored diagnostic report in under 15 minutes. It shows your Discovery Score (unprompted AI recommendations), Brand Score (narrative accuracy), a breakdown by AI engine and query scenario, and GEO recommendations. No configuration. No ongoing subscription required to get useful data.

When to Choose Anchor
You need a fast answer. If a client asks "how are we performing in AI search?" and you need something shareable by tomorrow, Anchor produces a complete report in under 15 minutes. No sales call. No configuration.
You want Chinese AI coverage. Kimi and DeepSeek are dominant in the Chinese market. Anchor specifically tracks both and explains why your scores differ between Chinese and English AI engines.
You want a shareable report. Anchor generates a URL-based report you can send to clients or stakeholders without requiring a login.
When to Choose Peec AI
You need continuous monitoring. If you're running a GEO campaign and want to track weekly changes across 50+ prompts, Peec AI's dashboard infrastructure is built for that.
You have a dedicated AI search team. Peec AI's feature depth — custom prompt libraries, Looker integration, API access, multi-country tracking — is designed for teams with dedicated resources.
The Core Tradeoff
Peec AI is a monitoring platform. Anchor is a diagnostic tool.
Most brands don't need a $29M-funded monitoring platform before they understand what the problem is. The typical GEO journey starts with: do we even have an AI visibility gap? — which is what Anchor answers in 15 minutes for free.
Start with Anchor to understand your baseline. Graduate to continuous monitoring once you're running GEO at scale.
