LLMrefs pricing 2026: the page details a $79/month, 500-prompt plan but never states the free tier's limits; third-party reviews claim 1 keyword, unconfirmed by LLMrefs' own copy, read 26 August 2026.

LLMrefs' own pricing page, read on 26 August 2026, details exactly one plan: All-in-One at $79 a month, 500 tracked prompts, every AI engine, unlimited seats and projects. A free tier clearly exists too, "Create Free Account" and "Get started for free" appear four times on the same page, no credit card required, but the page never states what it actually includes. That gap between "the free tier is real" and "here's what it covers" is the actual finding this piece is built around.

Disclosure: GetIntel is an AI visibility tool and competes with LLMrefs, so weigh the comparison accordingly. LLMrefs' figures below were read from llmrefs.com and llmrefs.com/pricing on 26 August 2026.

LLMrefs tier structure, read from llmrefs.com/pricing on 26 August 2026. The $79 price is explicitly labeled "limited time only" on the page, so it isn't presented as a permanent number. A 7-day free trial of this plan is offered separately from the free account described below.

LLMrefs tracks keywords rather than individual prompts: you enter a keyword, and the platform auto-generates a fan-out of related prompts (based on real conversations, per its own copy) to check across engines. The 500-prompt figure is the ceiling that fan-out produces, not a count you build by hand.

What Does the Free Tier Actually Cover?

Here's what LLMrefs' own page says about it: almost nothing, specifically.

The pricing page and homepage both push a free account repeatedly, "Create Free Account" in the top nav, "Get started for free, no credit card required" in the footer CTA, and the FAQ's first answer walks through setting one up ("Sign up for a free account and setup a project... within 5 minutes your dashboard will show insights"). None of that states a keyword limit, a prompt limit, an engine limit, or a refresh frequency for the free tier specifically. Every quantified spec on the page, 500 prompts, unlimited seats, weekly refresh, belongs explicitly to the $79 plan.

One indirect clue sits in the page's own FAQ list: a question titled "We need more than 50 keywords, can we buy more?" implies 50 keywords is a real ceiling somewhere in LLMrefs' pricing, but the page's own visible copy never says which tier that number belongs to, and the $79 plan's headline spec is 500 prompts, not 50 keywords. Those two units likely describe the same plan (50 keywords fanning out to roughly 500 prompts), but that's this piece's inference, not something the page states outright.

What Do Third-Party Reviews Claim About the Free Tier?

A consistent number, worth real caution rather than an outright dismissal or a flat repetition.

Several third-party review sites, checked 26 August 2026, converge on the same figure: a free tier capped at one tracked keyword, with the $79 Pro plan covering 50 keywords and 500 monthly prompts. That's specific and consistent across sources, which is worth something. It's also worth naming plainly that one of those sites, Trakkr, is itself a competing AI-visibility product publishing a comparison against LLMrefs, the same conflict-of-interest problem this piece has toward LLMrefs, just facing the other direction. This piece could not confirm the one-keyword figure directly against LLMrefs' own page copy, so treat it as third-party-reported rather than vendor-confirmed.

Who Is the $79 Plan For?

LLMrefs' own copy names the buyer directly: "for marketing teams," and the feature list leans toward SEO practitioners specifically, keyword-first tracking, prompt fan-out from topics rather than hand-written prompts, unlimited projects framed explicitly for agencies running multiple client accounts under one subscription.

That keyword-first design is the clearest differentiator from prompt-first tools elsewhere in this category: a team that already thinks in SEO keyword lists can import them directly, where a team without an existing keyword list has more setup work before LLMrefs' fan-out mechanism has anything to expand.

What Doesn't LLMrefs' Pricing Page Settle?

Three things, read from the page as of 26 August 2026.

  • What the free tier actually includes. The single biggest gap: no keyword count, prompt count, engine count, or refresh rate is stated for the free tier anywhere on the page itself.
  • How long "limited time only" lasts. The $79 price carries that label with no expiration date or replacement price shown, so there's no way to know from the page alone whether or when it changes.
  • What Business/Enterprise costs. Referenced by third-party reviews as a custom tier above the $79 plan, but LLMrefs' own pricing page as read on 26 August 2026 doesn't show an Enterprise tier at all, only the single All-in-One plan and the free account CTAs.

Where Did These LLMrefs Figures Come From?

All LLMrefs figures were read directly from llmrefs.com and llmrefs.com/pricing on 26 August 2026. An earlier article on this site, GetIntel vs LLMrefs, compares the two products but explicitly deferred on LLMrefs' own pricing details at the time it was written; this piece is the first to read that pricing page directly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

One fully detailed plan, read from llmrefs.com/pricing on 26 August 2026: All-in-One (Pro) at $79/month, tracking 500 prompts across all major AI engines with unlimited seats and projects, weekly refresh, and CSV/API export. The $79 price is explicitly labeled "limited time only" on the page. A free account also exists, but LLMrefs' own page doesn't state what it includes.

LLMrefs' own pricing page, read 26 August 2026, doesn't say. It repeatedly promotes a free account (no credit card required) but never states a keyword, prompt, or engine limit for it. Third-party review sites converge on a 1-keyword cap, but this piece could not confirm that figure directly against LLMrefs' own copy, and at least one source making that claim is a competing product's own review, so treat the number as reported rather than confirmed.

Keywords, which LLMrefs then expands into a fan-out of related prompts automatically. The $79 plan's headline spec is 500 tracked prompts per month, generated from a smaller set of keywords you enter, rather than 500 prompts you write by hand.

GetIntel runs $29 to $99/month across three tiers with a fixed prompt count per tier (30 to 120). LLMrefs shows one detailed paid tier at $79/month for 500 prompts, plus a free account whose limits aren't stated on its own pricing page. The two aren't a clean price-for-price match: GetIntel scales prompt volume with price across tiers, LLMrefs sells one paid tier at a single "limited time only" price point.
