What we saw, wha Source: https://geoplaybooks.com/blog/2026-07-12-llmrefs-review/ # LLMrefs review (2026): one €79 plan, unlimited domains, and a free scan before the paywall LLMrefs sells AI-search rank tracking on a single plan: **All in One at €79/month** with a 7-day free trial, 500 tracked prompts, weekly refreshes, and — unusually for this category — **unlimited projects and unlimited team seats**. The standout move is what happens before the paywall: it runs a real sample scan of your prompts live, with a progress bar, and shows you a ranked share-of-voice preview before the paywall. > How we tested: we signed up on July 12, 2026, ran the full onboarding with a real brand from the AI-search niche, and screenshotted every screen. Full disclosure — we build GEO tools ourselves (the free 5-signal checker and Monitor ), so read this as a competitor's field notes, with receipts. > TL;DR One plan: €79/month ("limited time" label), 7-day trial, cancel anytime — 500 prompts, weekly runs, CSV + API, unlimited domains and seats. Free live preview scan before payment — the best free hook we've seen in this category. Weekly cadence, not daily. Claude is not among the named engines. Rough edge: one auto-generated prompt still said "in 2024?" during our 2026 test. ## What LLMrefs is LLMrefs tracks how often AI engines name your brand when answering category prompts. The two core metrics are **Share of Voice** (mention rate across all AI responses) and **Position** (average placement of the first mention). It claims coverage of "ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and more" — the onboarding shows eight engine icons, but only those five are named in text. Method transparency is a genuine plus: the tool says it queries engines with "fresh browser sessions to capture the complete response text," and you can open the original AI answer behind every metric. ## The onboarding, minute by minute Setup asks you to pick Brand or Agency mode, enter a brand URL, name, location and language, then suggests five topics for your niche and generates **10 prompts per topic** — 50 prompts to start, all editable. Then it runs the scan in real time: "We're querying AI search engines in real-time. This usually takes a few minutes," with a live percentage. The preview we got back was a ranked leaderboard: our test brand placed **5th in the United States with an 18% share of voice**, in a field where the tool found **174 competing brands**. Rows below rank 6 are blurred behind a "click to unlock" overlay — a fair trade for a scan that cost us nothing. One detail worth knowing: the ranking is not sorted by share of voice alone. A brand with 28% SoV sat at #3 behind one with 25%, because average position weighs in. ## Pricing and limits > €79/mo one plan, everything included 500 tracked prompts ∞ projects, domains & team seats weekly refresh cadence The plan card lists: 500 prompts tracked for brand mentions, sources and fan-out queries; weekly auto-refreshed reports; geo-targeting in 50+ countries and 20+ languages; unlimited projects under one subscription; CSV export and API access; all AI engines with no additional fees; citation tracking; unlimited team members; monthly AI prompt-volume estimates; priority support. It also bundles side tools: an AI crawlability checker, a Reddit threads finder, and an llms.txt generator. For agencies, "unlimited projects, one subscription for all your domains" is the headline. Most competitors meter by brand or workspace; here the €79 covers the whole client roster — on paper. We didn't load-test that claim. ## What we liked - **Data before money.** The free preview scan is real engine output, not a demo. Nobody else we tested shows you your own numbers before the paywall. - **Transparent method.** Original AI responses are viewable behind every metric — you can audit the tool's claims. - **Prompt-volume estimates (beta).** It showed, e.g., "generative engine optimization" at roughly 200 monthly AI conversations in the US — directional, but a useful sanity check on what's worth tracking. - **They practice what they sell.** llmrefs.com serves an exemplary llms.txt — 180 links across 6 sections, every one with a description. It passes our own 5-signal check with a perfect score. ## What bugged us - One auto-generated prompt read "What are the top AI search monitoring platforms **in 2024**?" — in a test run mid-2026. Stale template prompts quietly skew tracking. - Weekly refresh only. If you ship a fix on Monday, you wait for the next cycle to see movement. - The full engine list is unclear: five named, eight icons, "and more." - "Limited time only" pricing with no visible annual option or agency tier makes budgeting a guess beyond the first month. ## What we couldn't test The 7-day trial gates the full dashboard, so we didn't see prompt-level drill-downs, citation reports over time, or the CSV/API output. Whether the trial requires a card wasn't visible either. If you've run LLMrefs in production, we'd genuinely like to hear how the weekly data holds up. ## Verdict The strongest value story of the four tools we tested this week: one honest price, no per-domain metering, and the confidence to show you real data before charging you. The trade-offs are cadence (weekly) and depth we couldn't verify past the paywall. If €79/month is more than your problem justifies, start free: run the [5-signal check](/check/) on your domain, then track movement with [Monitor from $20/month](/monitor/). Same discipline, smaller bill. *Also in this series: *[*Otterly review*](/blog/2026-07-12-otterly-review/)*, *[*Profound pricing teardown*](/blog/2026-07-12-profound-review/)*, *[*our Scrunch test that got blocked*](/blog/2026-07-12-scrunch-review-attempt/)*.*
