AI search invisibility kills startups faster than bad product-market fit. Your competitors appear in ChatGPT responses while prospects never see your brand. Months of content marketing vanish because AI platforms don’t understand your positioning.
KIME AI approaches this problem differently than American competitors. Built in Europe with transparent pricing and straightforward features, the platform focuses on what growing businesses actually need rather than enterprise complexity they don’t.
After analyzing KIME’s platform, pricing structure, and approach to AI visibility tracking, here’s why this tool stands out in an increasingly crowded GEO market.
What Is KIME AI
KIME AI is a Generative Engine Optimization platform that measures, analyzes, and improves brand performance across major AI search engines. The platform tracks visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, with options to add Claude, Gemini, Grok, Deepseek, and other LLMs on demand.
The company positions itself as the transparent alternative to enterprise-heavy GEO platforms. Where competitors focus on Fortune 500 clients with custom pricing, KIME publishes clear pricing in euros and targets startups, scaleups, e-commerce brands, and agencies.
KIME transforms raw AI outputs into structured marketing intelligence. The platform tracks sentiment, benchmarks competitors, and surfaces opportunities in real time. Unlike monitoring-only tools, KIME emphasizes actionable insights teams can implement immediately.
Core Features That Drive Results
KIME organizes functionality around measurement, analysis, and competitive intelligence with these primary capabilities.
AI Analytics Suite
The analytics dashboard provides comprehensive visibility into brand performance across all tracked LLM platforms. You see mention frequency, share of voice, sentiment analysis, and citation sources in a unified interface.
Data insights include:
- Metrics measuring progress across time periods
- Opportunity identification where competitors dominate
- Citation analysis showing which sources influence AI responses
- Sentiment tracking revealing brand perception trends
The dashboard turns raw data into clarity rather than overwhelming users with unstructured outputs. Teams see exactly where they stand without needing data science expertise.
Complete Citations Overview
The domain citations cockpit delivers full visibility into every citation source affecting your AI presence. You see all websites, publications, and content pieces that AI platforms reference when discussing your industry.
Citation intelligence shows:
- Which domains carry most authority with AI platforms
- Your current citation footprint versus competitors
- Missing digital presence areas limiting AI visibility
- Priority domains for building presence and earning citations
Competitor Analysis Dashboard
KIME provides custom competitor selection with unlimited tracking across all plans. You choose which brands to monitor and see direct comparisons of mention frequency, citation rates, and share of voice.
The competitive intelligence reveals prompts where competitors consistently appear and you don’t, citation sources competitors leverage that you’re missing, and content gaps where competitor mentions dominate.
Prompt Tracking and Analysis
KIME allows tracking custom prompts relevant to your business with allocations varying by plan tier.
Prompt limits by plan:
- Lite: 25 unique prompts (2,250 LLM outputs monthly)
- Pro: 100 unique prompts (9,000 LLM outputs monthly)
- Enterprise: Custom prompt allocation
The daily prompt frequency means KIME checks all tracked prompts every day across selected LLM platforms. With 3 base models included, each prompt generates 3 outputs daily. Full LLM chat output overview shows complete AI responses, not just snippets.
Team Collaboration Features
KIME emphasizes teamwork with multiple seats included at every pricing tier.
Seat allocations:
- Lite: 5 team members
- Pro: 10 team members
- Enterprise: Unlimited seats
User roles and permissions control data access and action capabilities. Guest accounts let you share specific insights with stakeholders without granting full platform access.
Unified LLM Integration
KIME integrates with all major LLM platforms in a single dashboard. The base subscription includes ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview across all plans.
Additional models available on-demand: Claude, Gemini, Grok, Deepseek, and other emerging LLMs. This flexible add-on approach means you only pay for platforms your audience actually uses.

Why This Pricing Works
KIME’s transparent pricing stands out in a market dominated by “contact sales” enterprise platforms. You know exactly what you’re paying before talking to anyone. The euro pricing reflects KIME’s European focus, eliminating currency conversion uncertainty.
Free trials on both Lite and Pro plans reduce purchase risk. The 15% annual discount makes yearly commitments financially attractive without aggressive pressure tactics.
How KIME Compares to Competitors
The GEO platform market now includes options at every price point. Here’s how KIME positions against three direct alternatives.
AthenaHQ ($295-$2,000+ monthly) offers comparable monitoring across similar LLM platforms but targets American enterprises with higher pricing. KIME’s €149 entry point (roughly $162 USD) costs 45% less than AthenaHQ’s $295 starting price while including 5 seats versus AthenaHQ’s 3 seats. Both provide citation intelligence and competitor tracking, but KIME’s transparent pricing and free trial reduce commitment risk. AthenaHQ includes more advanced features like the Athena Citation Engine on enterprise plans, making it better for large corporations while KIME serves startups and mid-market businesses more effectively.
Scrunch AI ($300-$3,000+ monthly) emphasizes technical infrastructure with features like the Agent Experience Platform for creating AI-optimized parallel websites. KIME focuses on practical monitoring without experimental features. Scrunch’s $300 Starter plan includes 350 prompts versus KIME’s 25 prompts at €149, but Scrunch requires sales calls with no published pricing beyond starter tier and offers no free trial. KIME’s straightforward approach suits teams wanting proven functionality over cutting-edge experimentation.
LLM Scout ($29.99-$89.99 monthly) provides basic brand mention tracking at budget-friendly pricing. KIME sits in the middle tier between LLM Scout’s basic tracking and enterprise platforms’ advanced features. Where LLM Scout shows when your brand appears with limited analysis, KIME delivers comprehensive citation intelligence, competitor benchmarking, and team collaboration. The 5x price difference buys substantially deeper insights, daily prompt frequency, and multi-seat access.
Who Should Choose KIME AI
KIME serves specific business types exceptionally well while being wrong fit for others.
Perfect For These Organizations
European startups and scaleups benefit from pricing in euros, transparent costs, and no enterprise gatekeeping. The €149 entry point aligns with European startup budgets better than $300+ American platforms.
Agencies managing 3-10 clients can operate efficiently on the Pro plan with 100 prompts and 10 seats. The price-to-value ratio works when distributed across multiple client accounts.
E-commerce brands selling in competitive categories need the citation intelligence showing which sources influence AI shopping recommendations. The daily monitoring catches visibility changes quickly.
Marketing teams prioritizing collaboration get value from generous seat allocations. Five team members on Lite plan and ten on Pro support real teamwork without per-seat pricing anxiety.
Wrong Fit Scenarios
Global enterprises requiring multi-region tracking need custom Enterprise solutions. The standard plans focus on core LLM coverage without geographic segmentation.
Businesses needing 200+ prompts find the Pro plan’s 100-prompt limit restrictive. Enterprise custom allocation works, but teams monitoring extensive product catalogs might need platforms designed for higher volume.
Organizations requiring content creation discover KIME focuses on monitoring and intelligence without integrated content optimization tools.
Platform Strengths and Limitations
Key Advantages
Transparent, fair pricing with published rates eliminates guesswork plaguing enterprise platforms. The 15% annual discount provides meaningful savings without aggressive sales tactics.
Generous team collaboration with 5 seats on entry-level and 10 on Pro supports real workflows. Competitors often charge per seat or restrict starter plans to 1-3 users.
Daily monitoring frequency catches visibility changes quickly versus weekly updates some competitors offer.
Free trial availability reduces commitment risk, letting teams validate platform fit before payment.
Notable Limitations
Limited base prompt allocations with 25 prompts on Lite restricts comprehensive monitoring for businesses with diverse product lines.
No integrated content creation means you need separate tools for acting on intelligence KIME surfaces.
Enterprise features behind custom pricing require upgrading for onboarding support and dedicated account management.
Three base LLMs only with add-ons needed for Claude, Gemini, or Grok, increasing total costs for comprehensive coverage.
The Verdict on KIME AI Value
KIME AI delivers exactly what growing businesses need: transparent pricing, powerful monitoring, and collaborative features without enterprise complexity. The platform succeeds by focusing on practical utility over feature bloat.
For European startups, scaleups, and agencies, KIME represents the sweet spot between basic tools like LLM Scout and enterprise platforms like AthenaHQ or Scrunch. The €149-€399 pricing range aligns with realistic marketing budgets while providing genuine competitive intelligence.
The free trial eliminates risk, letting teams validate platform fit before financial commitment. This transparency extends beyond pricing to the entire platform philosophy with clear features, straightforward capabilities, and honest limitations.
KIME works best for businesses that understand their AI visibility gaps and need monitoring plus competitive intelligence to guide strategy. The generous seat allocations, daily monitoring, and citation intelligence provide everything needed to compete effectively in AI search.
