SE Visible's are what its pricing page showed on October 7, 2026. A prompt count on its own undersells coverage, because Lighthouse Local runs every tracked prompt on ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI, so compare the answer checks a month. ### Lighthouse Local - Starter $79 / month 1,400+ AI answer checks a month 50 tracked prompts (weekly sweep) · 3 daily slots (checked every day) - Growth $249 / month 4,700+ AI answer checks a month 150 tracked prompts (weekly sweep) · 12 daily slots (checked every day) - Enterprise Custom From \~$599 / month Custom prompts (\~250+), sites & seats · \~25 daily slots, custom competitors - Agency Starter $349 / month 5,500+ AI answer checks a month 160 shared prompts · 16 daily slots - Agency Growth $999 / month 17,000+ AI answer checks a month 500 shared prompts · 50 daily slots - Agency Enterprise Custom From \~$1,999 / month Custom client sites, prompts & seats ### ![](https://www.lighthouselocal.ai/images/compare/se-ranking.png)SE Visible - Basic $99 per month, with annual billing saving 20 percent 200 prompts, 3 projects, 5 engines, 7 countries, daily refresh, unlimited users - Core $189 per month, with annual billing saving 20 percent 450 prompts, 5 projects - Plus $355 per month, with annual billing saving 20 percent 1,000 prompts, 10 projects - SE Ranking AI Search add-on From $89 per month, on top of an SE Ranking plan 200 to 1,000 prompts inside the SE Ranking platform - SE Ranking Agency Pack $69 per month, annual billing, on an SE Ranking plan White label, scheduled reports, Lead Generator; SE Visible's FAQ says it doesn't apply to SE Visible SE Visible prices are in US dollars as shown on its site on the verified date, with annual billing saving 20 percent.

AI answers change from one day to the next, so a tracker's schedule decides how fast you notice. SE Visible collects answers from real AI interfaces rather than APIs, refreshes every tracked prompt daily, covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode across seven countries, and allows unlimited users. SE Ranking's main platform carries a separate AI Search add-on for teams that want the data beside rank tracking and site audit. If your team watches shifts day by day, a daily refresh on every prompt is the right trade. The question to ask any vendor has two halves. How often is each answer re-checked, and what happens once it changes? A fresh number is only useful when someone turns it into work. We sweep every tracked question weekly and check the priority ones daily, so the questions that matter most stay fresh. Each change feeds a [ranked fix list](https://www.lighthouselocal.ai/how-it-works) in plain English, so you know what to do next. If a daily refresh only means more to act on, [our specialists make the fixes for you](https://www.lighthouselocal.ai/for-business). ## Which of the things you need are live today? A product page can list what's live and what's coming soon, and only the first kind helps a buyer today. SE Visible's page marks several items coming soon on the verified date, including Claude tracking, city and state tracking, report generation and brand sentiment. What's live is daily refreshes across five engines at the country level with a full API, and the scorecard above records exactly that. For a national brand tracked across a few countries, SE Visible's seven-country coverage may matter most. So ask each vendor to split your needs into two lists. Which of these can I use today, and which are still on the way? Plan around the first list. We check ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI today, Claude included, track questions nationally or by city and service area today, and ship client reports today. For a buyer whose customers search by town or ask Claude, that means those answers are in your results now, with nothing to wait for. ## Does the white-label you pay for cover the AI data? White-label is tied to a specific subscription, so the first thing to check is which product it covers. SE Visible supports multiple brands and clients in one account with unlimited users, and SE Ranking's Agency Pack adds white label, scheduled reports with AI summaries and a lead generator widget. The catch is in SE Visible's own FAQ, which says the Agency Pack doesn't apply to SE Visible, so white label stays on the SE Ranking platform side. For an agency already running SE Ranking, that pairing may fit. The question to ask is whether the white-label I'm buying applies to the product that holds my clients' AI visibility data. On our agency plans, the [white-label dashboard](https://www.lighthouselocal.ai/for-agencies) sits inside the AI visibility product itself, with unlimited client reports, so there's no second subscription to line up. Beacon puts [an embeddable AI visibility audit](https://www.lighthouselocal.ai/beacon) on your own site to capture leads. To compare, price a typical client on [our agency plans](https://www.lighthouselocal.ai/pricing) and on SE Visible plus an SE Ranking subscription. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Lighthouse Local an alternative to SE Visible? Yes. Both track how AI assistants answer questions about a brand and refresh often. SE Visible collects from real AI interfaces across seven countries and plugs into the SE Ranking ecosystem. If you want Claude and city-level questions today, Lighthouse Local covers both, includes a white-label dashboard on agency plans, and has our specialists make the fixes. ### Which assistants does SE Visible track? SE Visible's site lists ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, with Claude marked coming soon. Today, a customer asking Claude isn't in SE Visible's data. Lighthouse Local checks ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI on every plan, so that customer shows up in your results. ### Does SE Visible track city-level questions? On the verified date, SE Visible tracked at the country level across seven countries, and its Local AI Visibility page marked city and state tracking as coming soon. If your customers search by town, that matters. Lighthouse Local tracks questions nationally or by city and service area today, so each town you serve is its own question. ### Does SE Visible have a free trial? SE Visible's site offers a 10-day free trial, and whether a card is needed isn't stated on the pages we read. SE Ranking's main platform offers 14 days with no card. Lighthouse Local's 14-day free trial on every self-serve plan runs the questions you set up on ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI, so you leave the trial with a fix list, not a sample. ### Can agencies white-label SE Visible? SE Visible's FAQ says SE Ranking's Agency Pack, which carries the white-label option, doesn't apply to SE Visible. Agencies get multi-client tracking and unlimited users in SE Visible itself. For an agency, that means white-label sits on a separate subscription. Lighthouse Local's agency plans include a white-label dashboard inside the product, plus Beacon for a branded audit on your own site. ### How did we check these facts? Every SE Visible fact on this page comes from SE Visible's own pages, read on October 7, 2026.
