Limy Review: Three Engines at Entry, and the Middle Plan Adds None

Limy sells AI visibility tracking from $149 a month. The entry plan queries three engines. The plan above it costs three hundred dollars a month more and queries three engines, because what it adds is the right to choose which three from a pool of five.

6 other tools in our verified catalogue let you pick which engines you get. What is unusual here is where the picking sits: on the tier above, bought for three hundred dollars a month more, with the engine count unchanged.

Disclosure: EchoWi sells AI visibility measurement, so this is a review of a competitor by a competitor. Every price and limit below was read from Limy’s own pricing page on 11 August 2026 and is recorded with that date in our verified catalogue. Nothing here is based on using the product, and the section on what we could not verify says so in detail rather than in a footnote.

The short version

1. Entry is $149 a month for three engines, named on the page as GPT, Google AI Mode and Perplexity. That is $49.67 per engine against a catalogue median of $23, so coverage here costs a little over twice the market rate.
2. The middle plan adds no engine. Growth at $449 buys “choose 3 of 5”. The count is the same three; the pool it comes from is five.
3. The top plan costs more per prompt than the one below it. Growth is $1.80 per prompt a month and Scale is $2.14, so climbing the last step makes your unit of measurement 19% more expensive.
4. 6 other tools let you pick your engines. This one charges three hundred dollars a month for the picking. The entry plan names three engines and the tier above still queries three, chosen from five.
5. The homepage carries three uplift multiples with no method attached, and that is the part of this review a buyer should weigh most carefully, for reasons that apply to us too.
6. A 14-day trial with no charge until day 15, which is the cheapest way to answer most of what this review could not.

What it costs, verified

Read from Limy’s pricing page on 11 August 2026.

The five on Growth are GPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Perplexity and Gemini. The seven on Scale are those plus Grok and Claude.

There is a 14-day trial with no charge until day 15, and an annual toggle marked as an 18% saving.

At $149, Limy is one of six tools in our catalogue priced between $100 and $200 at entry, alongside Finseo, Ahrefs Brand Radar, Search Atlas, SISTRIX and Alhena. The catalogue’s median entry price is $79, so this is a little under twice the middle of the market to get started.

The arithmetic nobody does

Two numbers make this pricing table read differently.

Per engine at entry. $149 for three engines is $49.67 per engine. The median across the fifty-five tools in our catalogue that publish both an entry price and an entry engine count is $23. Limy is 2.2 times that, which puts it in the expensive half for coverage without being at the extreme: seoClarity’s ArcAI is $277.78 per engine.

Per prompt across the ladder. This is the one that changes a purchase decision:

Growth is the cheapest plan on this page per unit of the thing being measured. Scale costs 19% more per prompt than the tier beneath it, because the extra $300 buys a hundred prompts, two more seats and two more engines rather than volume.

That is not a criticism by itself. It is a pricing shape worth recognising before you buy the top tier expecting economies of scale, because there are none in the prompt count. If prompts are what you need, Growth is the plan; if engines and seats are what you need, Scale is, and it is priced accordingly.

And the middle step buys no coverage at all. Starter is three engines. Growth is three engines chosen from five. The count does not move between $149 and $449. What moves is prompts, seats, languages, regions and domains, all of which may well be worth $300 a month to a team, and none of which is engine coverage.

The subset, which is genuinely unusual

Most vendors in this market restrict coverage the same way: the entry plan queries fewer engines than the top plan, and climbing adds them. We have measured that gap across the whole catalogue, and the entry plan buys about 65% of the coverage a vendor advertises.

Limy does something else. It grants a quantity and asks you to allocate it. Choose three of five, choose five of seven.

There is a reasonable argument for it. If your buyers are in ChatGPT and Perplexity and nowhere else, paying for Grok is waste, and a vendor that charges for a number rather than a list lets you skip it. It is closer to how a media budget works than how software licensing usually does.

There is a cost to it too, and it is the one this site keeps measuring. Our own work says that source sets do not transfer between surfaces and that the sources behind an answer change with the market. If which engines matter is something you learn from measuring, then a plan that makes you choose before you have measured is asking for a decision in the wrong order. The mitigation is that the choice is presumably changeable, which is one of the things we could not verify.

Where Limy is the right choice

When you already know your two or three engines. A team whose category lives in ChatGPT and Google’s surfaces gets a plan shaped around exactly that, and does not subsidise coverage of engines their buyers do not use. That is a real saving and most of this market does not offer it.

When prompts, not engines, are the constraint. Growth’s 250 prompts at $1.80 each is competitive for a mid-sized brand tracking a lot of questions in two languages and two regions.

When you want to try before committing. Fourteen days with no charge until day 15 is more generous than most of the catalogue and answers the product questions this review cannot.

When the buying journey is the point. The positioning is about revenue from AI search rather than about a visibility score, and the pricing table carries content generation and opportunity features alongside the tracking. If you want measurement and production in one place, that is a coherent offer.

Where it is the wrong choice

If you are testing whether this category is worth anything. $149 a month is nearly twice the catalogue median to find out, and there are tools with free tiers that will tell you whether your questions even produce an answer. Our own measurement of local commercial questions found no AI Overview at all across thirty questions, which is the sort of thing worth discovering before a subscription rather than after one.

If you need many markets. Two languages and two regions on the $449 plan is a low ceiling for a brand selling across Europe, and the way to raise it is Scale at $749 for the same two languages and two regions. Regions do not move between the middle and top plans on the published table.

If you need Claude or Grok specifically. They are on the seven-engine pool at the top tier only, and even there you are choosing five.

If you want the vendor’s evidence before you pay. See the next section.

What we could not verify

This is a pricing and packaging review. We have not used the product, and the following are open.

The uplift claims. The homepage carries three multiples: fifteenfold visibility from a single article, fivefold AI visitors from one insight, and eightfold citations in three months. None is attached to a method, a period, a baseline or a comparison group on the page we read.

We are not calling those false. We are saying that no one in this category has published a controlled before-and-after with a comparison group, ourselves included, and this site says so in public every time the question comes up. A multiple with no control is compatible with the intervention working and equally compatible with the category growing underneath it. If you are evaluating Limy, that is the first thing to ask for, and the answer is more informative than the number.

Whether the engine choice can be changed. The table sells “choose 3 of 5” and does not say on that page how often you may re-choose. For a plan whose whole shape is allocation, that is the second question to ask.

What counts as a prompt and how often it runs. The published tiers give prompt counts and a “Platform Integrations” row, and the refresh cadence is not on the pricing page we read.

Whether the annual saving changes the tier limits. The toggle is marked 18% and we recorded the monthly figures, which is the price a buyer pays without a year’s commitment.

Anything about accuracy. No vendor in this catalogue publishes how its numbers are produced in enough detail to check, and we do not treat that as a mark against any of them individually. It is the state of the category.

How it compares

Prices are printed as each vendor prints them, in the currency it charges in, and none are converted. Within its own price band Limy sits in the middle for coverage: cheaper per engine than Search Atlas, more expensive than Finseo and SISTRIX.

The whole band is above the median. Thirty-nine of the catalogue’s tools have an entry price under $100, so a buyer choosing between these six has already decided that something in this band is worth paying for.

Common Questions About Limy

How much does Limy cost?

Starter is $149 a month, Growth is $449 and Scale is $749, read from Limy’s pricing page on 11 August 2026. There is an annual toggle marked as an 18% saving and a 14-day trial with no charge until day 15. The top tier above Scale is not published as a price.

How many AI engines does Limy track?

Three on the entry plan, named as GPT, Google AI Mode and Perplexity. Growth lets you choose three from a pool of five, adding Google AI Overviews and Gemini to the pool, and Scale lets you choose five from a pool of seven, adding Grok and Claude. The engine count does not increase between the entry plan and the middle one; only the pool you choose from does.

Is Limy expensive compared to other AI visibility tools?

At entry, yes, on both measures we can check. Its $149 is against a catalogue median entry price of $79, and its $49.67 per engine is against a median of $23 across the forty-seven tools that publish an entry price and an entry engine count. That does not make it bad value, because prompts, seats and the content features are part of what the price buys. It does mean a buyer comparing on coverage alone will find cheaper.

What is the cheapest Limy plan per prompt?

Growth, at $1.80 a prompt a month. Starter is $2.98 and Scale is $2.14, so the top plan is 19% more expensive per prompt than the one below it. Scale’s extra cost buys engines, seats and a hundred prompts rather than volume pricing.

Should I believe the uplift figures on Limy’s site?

Treat them the way you should treat every uplift figure in this category, including any of ours. Nobody has published a controlled before-and-after with a comparison group, so a multiple on a homepage is a description of what happened somewhere, not a measurement of what the tool caused. Ask for the baseline, the period and what the comparison was. A vendor that can answer those three is telling you something; a vendor that cannot is quoting a number.

What should I check during the trial?

Whether your questions produce an answer at all on the engines you picked, because in some categories the surface does not draw one and no tool can fix that. How often the engine choice can be changed, since the plan is built on allocation. And whether the prompt count is enough for your question set in your markets, since that is the limit most likely to force an upgrade whose per-prompt price goes up rather than down.
