Searchable'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/searchable.png)Searchable - Pro $125 per month, or $100 billed annually 100 prompts per model, 9,000 AI answers a month, unlimited projects, countries and seats - Scale $400 per month, or $320 billed annually 500 prompts per model, Looker Studio, white-label reports, API - Enterprise $999 per month, or $799 billed annually 1,250 prompts per model, a dedicated AEO specialist - Launch (agency) $250 per month 200 prompts per model, 5 projects, pitch prompts - Growth (agency) $400 per month 500 prompts per model, 10 projects, white-label client reports - Enterprise Agencies $999 per month 1,250 prompts per model, unlimited projects, API Searchable prices are in US dollars as shown on its pricing page on the verified date, month to month, with annual billing saving 20 percent on any plan.

Searchable bundles AI visibility tracking with traffic analytics from GA4 and Search Console, site audits, a content studio and an agent that drafts pages from the gaps it finds. That's a full AI search optimization workbench for a marketing team. Its base plans include ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, run prompts daily, and put no cap on projects, countries or seats. If your team will live in the tool and wants the drafting in the same place, that's the right trade. The question to ask any vendor follows from that. Once the tool shows a gap, who does the work, and how many screens sit between me and a finished fix? A bigger suite means more to learn before the first gap closes. We start from the owner's question. When a customer asks an assistant who to call or what to buy, do you come up, and if not, who does? We check that on a weekly sweep with daily checks on priority questions, and every gap lands on a [ranked fix list](https://www.lighthouselocal.ai/how-it-works) in plain English, with no workbench to learn. If you'd rather not draft pages in a content studio, [our specialists make the fixes](https://www.lighthouselocal.ai/for-business). ## What does the price include once the add-ons are in? A headline price only covers what's inside it. Searchable's plan prices cover three assistants, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Gemini, Claude, Google AI Mode and several others are paid add-ons on top, and its pricing page lists them. The scorecard above shows which assistants sit where. Searchable also counts prompts per model, so the Pro plan lists 100 prompts per model and 9,000 AI answers a month. If the three included assistants are the ones your customers use, the headline price is the price you'll pay. So ask for the total. What does it cost to cover every assistant my customers use, and how many answer checks does that buy a month? A prompt count on its own says nothing about how many assistants it covers or how often it runs. Our plans carry ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI at the published price, with nothing sold as a model add-on. The AI answer checks a month shown on the pricing cards above are the number to compare, so you can size the cost before you start. ## At which tier does your client get a branded login? An agency tier usually means two things, room for several client projects and reports that carry your brand. Searchable's agency tiers are a real program. Pitch workspaces let you run prospect prompts before a client signs, every plan allows multiple projects, and white-label client reports arrive at the Growth tier, with a white-label platform offered through sales. That's a strong setup for an agency selling AI search content work. The question to ask is where branding starts and what it costs to get there. Which tier gives my client a branded view, and what do I pay to reach it? On our agency plans, clients log into a [white-label dashboard](https://www.lighthouselocal.ai/for-agencies) under your brand on your own custom domain, with unlimited client reports, so there's no tier to climb before a client sees your name. For lead generation, Beacon puts [an embeddable AI visibility audit](https://www.lighthouselocal.ai/beacon) on your own site. Set [our agency plans](https://www.lighthouselocal.ai/pricing) beside Searchable's Launch and Growth tiers and see what your tenth client adds on each. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Lighthouse Local an alternative to Searchable? Yes, for brands and agencies that want AI visibility tracking without an analytics workbench around it. Both track how AI assistants answer questions about a brand. Searchable adds traffic analytics, audits and content tools. If you'd rather have one answer and a next step, Lighthouse Local keeps to the tracking and the ranked fix list, and our specialists can make the fixes. ### Which AI assistants does Searchable include? Searchable's pricing page includes ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews on every plan and sells Gemini, Claude, Google AI Mode, Copilot, Grok and DeepSeek as add-ons. That means covering more assistants adds to the bill. Lighthouse Local includes ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI on every plan, so your cost doesn't change with coverage. ### Does Searchable track local questions? Searchable reports visibility by country and city, and its docs suggest a best-service-in-city prompt template. A city or service-area prompt set isn't described on the pages we read. If your customers search by town, Lighthouse Local tracks questions nationally or by city and service area, so each town is simply another question. ### Does Searchable have a free trial? Yes. Searchable's pricing page offers a 14-day trial on its Pro, Scale, Launch and Growth plans, and the page's wording on whether a card is needed is mixed, so check at signup. 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 Searchable? Searchable's pricing page lists white-label client reports from the agency Growth tier, and its changelog announces a white-label platform through sales. For an agency, that means checking which tier you need before you promise clients a branded view. Lighthouse Local's agency plans include a white-label dashboard, plus Beacon for a branded audit on your own site. ### How did we check these facts?
