Prefer’s price list, plan by plan
Prefer has four ways to pay: three self-serve brand plans, a custom Enterprise plan, an agency track, and the done-for-you Prefer Managed service. Prefer’s self-serve plans cost $24, $129 and $399 a month, and the price changes with volume, never with which AI engines you get. All prices are listed in US dollars, as shown on the Prefer pricing page on 3 October 2026.
Each self-serve tier tracks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. What rises with the price is the count of prompts, drafted articles, competitors and projects; team members are unlimited on every plan. Starter covers 3 competitors and 1 project; Scale covers 30 competitors and 10 projects.
Agency and done-for-you pricing
Agencies pay Prefer a flat $99 a month plus $299 for each active client, and each client gets a Growth-level workspace. Seats are unlimited on the agency track, white-label reports are included, and pausing a client stops its fee from the next cycle. Agency billing is monthly only and is set up with the Prefer team rather than bought online. Prefer Managed is a different product: a team runs the whole AI search program for you. It costs $2,500 a month, flat, with the platform, a named strategist, articles, links and community answers inside the fee. Optional paid media or placements are the only separately billed item, typically $1,000 to $3,000 a month, always pre-approved.What the price does not include
Three honest limits are worth knowing before you budget:- No free-forever plan. Prefer offers a 7-day free trial with no card, then a paid plan. The one-time free audit is separate and always free.
- No self-serve add-ons. Extra prompts, engines and articles cannot be bought on top of a brand plan today. More capacity means moving up a tier.
- No overage billing. At a limit Prefer asks you to upgrade instead of charging for the extra usage.
- Count the buyer prompts you need. Up to 30 fits Starter; up to 500 fits Scale.
- Add your content cost. Every self-serve plan includes drafted articles, and the cost calculator prices the editing time each draft still needs at your own rates.
- Compare 12 months of monthly billing with the single annual invoice.
- Run the free AI visibility audit before paying anything, so the plan you pick matches a real gap.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to use Prefer?
What is the cheapest way to use Prefer?
The cheapest paid route into Prefer is Starter at $24 a month, or $19 a month when you pay $228 for a year up front. If you only want a one-time snapshot, the Prefer free audit costs nothing and needs no account or card.
Does Prefer charge extra per AI engine?
Does Prefer charge extra per AI engine?
No. Prefer includes the same 5 engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Perplexity) on Starter, Growth and Scale, so the tiers differ on volume, not engine access. Prefer Enterprise adds every AI model you need, such as Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, Meta AI, DeepSeek and Qwen, as part of a custom quote.
