Free tier295 USD per month for Starter, with a 17 percent annual discount
Overview

AthenaHQ tracks brand visibility in AI search and publishes its full price list, which most of this category does not. One credit equals one AI response, so the cost of a tracking programme can be calculated before purchase rather than after a sales call.

AthenaHQ pricing and plans

AthenaHQ does not publish pricing. 295 USD per month for Starter, with a 17 percent annual discount Essential plan with 300 credits and 5 AI platforms, unlimited seats.

  • Starter is 295 USD a month with a 17 percent annual discount.
  • The Essential free plan carries 300 credits across 5 AI platforms with unlimited seats.
  • API access is a separately billed add-on rather than included on the entry paid plan.

Billed in credits where one credit equals one AI response. Multiply prompts by engines by refresh frequency to estimate consumption. API access is a paid add-on on Starter.

AthenaHQ features: what it does

  • Pricing is fully published, from a free tier to a 295 dollar Starter plan, which is close to unique in this category
  • One credit equals one AI response, so cost can be calculated from prompts times engines times refresh frequency
  • Unlimited seats on every tier including the free plan, so the tool does not tax collaboration
  • A genuinely usable free tier with 300 credits across 5 engines, enough to test the premise before paying
  • Covers 9 engines on paid plans including AI Mode, Copilot and Grok alongside the obvious ones

AthenaHQ limitations

  • API access on the Starter plan is a paid add-on billed separately, so the 295 dollar figure is a floor rather than a total
  • Credits are consumed per response, so tracking many prompts across many engines daily exhausts an allowance faster than the headline number suggests
  • Optimization recommendations rest on correlation, as everything in this category currently does, and the marketing does not foreground that
  • The published case study figures are vendor-supplied and not independently verifiable

AthenaHQ FAQ

How many prompts can 3,600 credits actually track?

Twenty prompts across 9 engines once a day consumes 180 credits daily and exhausts 3,600 in 20 days. The same 20 prompts weekly costs about 720 a month. Decide refresh frequency first.
