The short version: Temso costs $89 to $499 a month as of July 2026, replaces four or five single-purpose tools, and puts no cap on projects, users, or recommendations. That combination won it first place in our test and a score of 4.5/5 stars.
Temso’s dashboard puts brand visibility across five AI engines on one screen.
Our verdict: 4.5/5 stars. Temso wins on scope, ease of use, and value for money. It loses half a star for its short track record and thin integration list. Nothing on our scoreboard comes close on price per feature.
What Temso actually is
Temso sells one subscription that covers the whole AI SEO job for brands and agencies of any size. The platform watches ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Copilot, and it records what those engines show real users on screen instead of relying on API output. That matters because the answer a paying customer sees is the answer you need to measure.
Monitoring is only half the product. Temso also packs in technical audits, crawler and bot traffic analytics, content production, and link and mention outreach. An agent built into the platform will implement that action plan on your behalf, which saves hours when the recommendation list gets long. Most rivals stop at the dashboard and leave the actual work to you.
During our June and July 2026 test cycle, setup took about five minutes with the guided flow. Nobody on our panel needed SEO training to read the reports or act on them.
Pricing: what you pay, as of July 2026
Three plans, all in USD ($), and none of them cap your projects, your seats, or your recommendations:
| Plan | Price | Models | Prompts | Content pieces | Pages audited |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $89/mo | 3 | 50 | 5 | 10,000 |
| Growth (most popular) | $199/mo | All | 150 | 10 | 100,000 |
| Professional | $499/mo | All | 350 | 50 | 1,000,000 |
Yearly billing cuts 15% off every plan. There is no per-seat fee anywhere, and that changes the math fast. Put a ten-person team on Growth and you pay $19.90 per head. Put twenty people on it and you pay $9.95 per head. Agencies get the same deal: every client brand runs as its own project on one account, and projects are unlimited too.
Watch one thing: Starter covers 3 AI models, not all five engines. If you need the full engine set, Growth at $199 is your real starting point.
Bottom line: Temso’s pricing punishes nobody for growing, and that alone beats most of this market.
Where Temso wins
- Scope. Tracking, content, audits, bot analytics, and outreach in one subscription. Every other tool we scored covers a slice of that list and asks you to buy the rest elsewhere.
- Ease of use. Five-minute setup, plain-language reports, and recommendations sorted by impact. Our test panel gave it the highest usability marks on the site.
- Value for money. At $199 for the full engine set with unlimited seats, Temso undercuts stacks that cost two or three times as much once you add up the separate tools it replaces.
- Real-interface data. Answers get scraped from the actual ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Copilot front ends, so what you measure matches what users see.
- Built-in execution. The platform’s agent can put its own findings into action, one feature among many, but a useful one when your to-do list runs past fifty items.
Where it falls short
No 5-star sweep here, and you should know why:
- Young brand. Temso has a shorter public track record than Semrush or Ahrefs. If your boss wants a decade of case studies, you will not find one.
- Integrations. The catalog is smaller than what the big SEO suites offer. Check that your reporting stack connects before you commit.
- No classic SEO metrics. Temso does not do keyword rank tracking or maintain a backlink index. You keep your traditional SEO tool for those jobs.
If you need the deepest enterprise citation analytics, Profound still owns that one category on our scoreboard. And if $89 is above your budget, Otterly.AI starts at $29 a month, the cheapest entry price we tested. Peec AI is the other agency favorite worth a look.
Who should buy it
Buy Temso if you are an agency juggling client brands, an in-house team tired of paying for four tools, or a solo marketer who wants the whole AI SEO job handled in one place. Skip it if all you need is classic Google rank tracking, or if your procurement team demands enterprise-depth citation analytics.

Bottom line: 4.5/5 stars. Temso gives you the most AI SEO per dollar of any tool on this site, and it is the first one you should trial.
