Koalr vs Semrush AI Toolkit
Built for AI search, not bolted on
Semrush’s AI Visibility Toolkit is $99 a month per domain, billed annually, for 25 tracked prompts - with Claude and Copilot visibility reserved for its enterprise product. Content and social tools are separate Semrush products at separate prices. For the same money, Koalr tracks all seven engines and includes the content studio, the scheduler and the in-app agent. Every additional domain on Semrush is another $99.

On every plan
What Koalr includes that Semrush AI Toolkit doesn't.
Each of these is standard on the £79 Starter, not held back for a larger plan or an enterprise contract.
No fees to unlock engines
The engine list is the same on every plan, so the answer to "are we visible in Claude?" never depends on which tier you bought. Optional upgrades add depth - daily Claude, more prompts, more content - never coverage.
A Content Studio that drafts
It ranks what to write, drafts against a named prompt and the page currently outranking you, and tracks citations after publish. Monitoring tells you that you are losing a prompt; this is the part that does something about it.
Planning and scheduling built inBeta
Plan the pipeline and schedule publishing from inside the Studio, so the work that came out of the visibility data goes live without moving to a second tool.
No seat fees
Bring the whole team, and the client too. Seats are not metered, so the cost of the tool does not go up because another person needs to look at it.
All seven engines, every plan
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, refreshed daily on the £79 Starter and every plan above it. Claude runs weekly as standard, with a daily upgrade if you want it.
Its own crawler: GEO Audit and AXOBeta
Koalr crawls your pages and the rival page currently beating you, checking schema, llms.txt and answer structure, then scores how readable the page is to an agent from 0 to 100.
“I’ve already looked at this and gone: I’m switching. I would bin off the other two and just use this.”
