Bottom line

LLMrefs lists 500 tracked prompts for $79 a month, about $0.16 per tracked prompt, which is less than Aiso Starter at $0.38 ($19 a month for 50 prompts, billed monthly). On price per prompt alone, LLMrefs is about 2.4 times cheaper. Choose Aiso when you want prompts taken from real conversations and fan-out searches rather than the largest prompt count.

Confidence: Aiso calculation from vendor pricing pages read on 20 October 2026. It is not a product test or an independent audit. Prices change and vary by region.

How the price per prompt is calculated

  • LLMrefs pricing page, read 20 October 2026: one All in One plan at $79 a month, marked limited time only, with 500 prompts, eight engines (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Meta), geo-targeting in 50 or more countries and unlimited team members. The page offers a 7 day free trial and does not state an annual price.
  • Aiso Starter: $19 a month billed monthly, 50 tracked prompts, 3 AI models, daily tracking. Source: Aiso pricing data, read 20 October 2026.

LLMrefs: $79 ÷ 500 = $0.16. Aiso Starter: $19 ÷ 50 = $0.38. Ratio: $0.38 ÷ $0.16 ≈ 2.4.

Limits: This is an Aiso calculation from published prices, not a test. The LLMrefs price is marked limited time only and may change. The page does not state how often prompts run or how many engines each prompt uses, so a prompt may not be an identical unit. You can buy fewer prompts on Aiso, so a small team may spend less in total even at a higher price per prompt.

Choose LLMrefs if

  • You want the most tracked prompts per dollar and plan to track hundreds of prompts.
  • You want eight engines, including Claude, Copilot and Meta, tracked on one plan.
  • You need geo-targeting in 50 or more countries and 20 or more languages.

Choose Aiso if

  • You want prompt ideas taken from real, consent-based ChatGPT conversations.
  • You want to see fan-out searches and plan content from them.
  • You want a smaller plan for a first look at AI visibility, at $19 a month.
