# Plans: Compare Monitor, Optimize, and Enterprise Tiers

> Compare CogNerd's Monitor, Optimize, and Enterprise plans by brand limits, platform coverage, reporting frequency, and included features.

CogNerd offers three plans designed for different stages of AI search visibility maturity — from teams just starting to monitor a single brand, to agencies and enterprises that need unlimited tracking across every AI platform. All plans include access to the core dashboard. A free trial is available on every paid plan, and you can [book a 30-minute demo](https://calendly.com/hub-cognerd/30min) if you'd like a guided walkthrough before committing.

## Plan comparison

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Monitor">
    The Monitor plan is designed for individuals and small teams tracking a single brand across the most important AI platforms. It gives you a weekly pulse on your AI visibility without the overhead of daily monitoring.

    **$49 / month** — or **$39 / month** billed annually

    <CardGroup cols={1}>
      <Card title="What's included" icon="check">
        * 1 brand tracked
        * 2 AI platforms monitored
        * Weekly visibility reports
        * Basic competitor analysis
        * Email alerts
      </Card>
    </CardGroup>

    <Note>
      Monitor is a good starting point if you want to understand your baseline AI visibility before investing in optimization. Most customers upgrade to Optimize once they see the data and want to act on it.
    </Note>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Optimize">
    The Optimize plan is designed for marketing teams and growth-focused companies that need daily data, multi-brand tracking, and the full suite of optimization tools — including Content Studio and API access.

    **$149 / month** — or **$119 / month** billed annually

    <CardGroup cols={1}>
      <Card title="What's included" icon="check">
        * 5 brands tracked
        * All AI platforms monitored
        * Daily real-time reports
        * Advanced competitor intelligence
        * Content Studio access
        * Slack and email alerts
        * API access
      </Card>
    </CardGroup>

    <Tip>
      If you're running GEO file generation and AEO reports regularly, Optimize gives you the credit allocation and platform breadth to do that at scale. API access also lets you pull CogNerd data into your own reporting workflows.
    </Tip>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Enterprise">
    Enterprise is for organizations that need unlimited brand tracking, custom platform integrations, a dedicated account manager, and contractual SLA guarantees. Pricing is custom based on your requirements.

      White-label reports make Enterprise a strong fit for agencies managing AI visibility on behalf of clients. You can export branded PDF reports without CogNerd branding.
