Flexible Seats and Credits customers use credits instead of these prompt packs. Cost per tracked prompt divides price by actual allowance, rounded to two decimals; packs can exceed the target allowance.

Searchable vs AEO in HubSpot Marketing Hub

AEO comes included with Marketing Hub Professional and Enterprise, which adds CRM-based prompt suggestions and blog post generation to the same tracking. Those plans also cover HubSpot’s email, automation, and campaign tools, so the comparison only holds if you’d buy Marketing Hub anyway. If you’re buying it for AEO, the first year on Professional costs at least $12,600 USD with annual billing and onboarding, for 25 prompts. A year of Searchable Scale on annual billing costs $3,840 USD for 500 prompts.

Key differences between Searchable and HubSpot AEO

HubSpot added AEO to its CRM and marketing platform, while Searchable was built for AI search from the start. That difference shows up in plan allowances, Google engine coverage, prompt selection, and what happens after tracking.

Lower cost per prompt as your tracking grows

HubSpot AEO’s $50 USD plan covers 25 prompts, and each extra 10 prompts cost $20 USD a month under capacity-pack pricing, so a plan covering at least 100 prompts costs $210 USD a month. Searchable Pro covers 100 prompts for $125 USD. Adding Gemini to Pro brings it to $175 USD a month for four engines, including Google AI Overviews, compared with three default engines on HubSpot AEO.

Google AI Overviews on every plan

Google AI Overviews are one of Searchable’s three included engines. On HubSpot AEO, a Super Admin has to opt the account into a beta and turn on a premium pack, which runs prompts on all six of its engines and uses twice the answers per prompt. HubSpot AEO’s 2,500 monthly answers cover about 12 prompts at that rate, and each prompt uses capacity even when Google doesn’t show an AI Overview.

Prompt selection: build a strategy with Prompt Universe

HubSpot AEO suggests prompts based on your brand, competitors, industry, and buyer journey, while Searchable’s Prompt Universe starts from your own products and services. It connects buyer questions with modeled prompt volumes, funnel strategy, and query fan-out, so you end up with a tracking set that covers the buying journey and a list of questions to guide your content.

An AEO Agent, content, and audits in the same plan

Ask Searchable’s Agent why visibility moved or what to fix next. It answers from your tracked prompts and citations, plus connected sources like Google Search Console and GA4, then turns the findings into content briefs or technical tasks. Pro includes 20 articles and 200 page audits a month. HubSpot AEO gives you recommendations on its $50 USD plan, and generating blog posts from them needs Marketing Hub.

Agency plans with shared prompts and client projects

HubSpot AEO needs one subscription per client brand, and its prompts don’t carry across them. For $250 USD a month, five HubSpot AEO subscriptions track 25 prompts per client. The same $250 USD buys Searchable Agency Launch, with 200 prompts you can split across five client projects, plus pitch workspaces, unlimited seats, and white-labeled reports.

“The challenge is choosing and selecting the right prompts. Searchable does it best, and it's a huge gap in most AEO platforms.”

Searchable vs HubSpot AEO FAQ

Why choose Searchable over HubSpot AEO?

Searchable includes daily tracking on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity on every plan, along with unlimited seats, an AEO Agent, content creation, and page audits. HubSpot AEO starts lower at $50 USD a month for 25 prompts, and blog post generation needs Marketing Hub. Searchable Pro costs $125 USD a month for 100 prompts; HubSpot AEO with eight capacity packs costs $210 USD for 105 prompts.

How much does HubSpot AEO cost compared with Searchable?

HubSpot AEO costs $50 USD a month, or $45 USD on annual billing, for 25 prompts on ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Each extra 10 prompts cost $20 USD a month under capacity-pack pricing. Searchable Brand plans cost $125, USD $400, USD and $999 USD a month for 100, 500, and 1,250 tracked prompts, with unlimited seats. All prices are US prices in USD. Customers on HubSpot’s Flexible Seats and Credits model use credits instead of these prompt packs.

Does HubSpot AEO track Google AI Overviews and AI Mode?

Yes, through an opt-in beta. A Super Admin can join the AEO Multi-Engine beta and turn on a premium pack that adds Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, and Claude. Tracking on six engines uses twice the answers per prompt, so the plan’s 2,500 monthly answers cover about 12 prompts. Searchable includes Google AI Overviews on every plan, and Google AI Mode is a paid add-on.

Do I need Marketing Hub to use HubSpot AEO?

No. HubSpot AEO is sold on its own for $50 USD a month and doesn’t require HubSpot’s CMS or another HubSpot subscription. Marketing Hub Professional and Enterprise include AEO and add CRM-based prompt suggestions and blog post generation. Those plans start at $800 USD a month on annual billing, plus a one-time onboarding fee.

What’s the difference between HubSpot AEO and the AEO Grader?

HubSpot’s AEO Grader, also called the AI Search Grader, is a free one-time check of how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini describe your brand. HubSpot AEO is the paid product that tracks your prompts daily. Searchable’s free AI visibility report is a similar first check before you choose a tracking plan.

Can I use Searchable alongside HubSpot?

Yes. Searchable doesn’t replace a CRM or marketing automation platform, so you can keep HubSpot for those jobs and use Searchable to track and improve how AI engines mention and cite your brand. Searchable connects Google Search Console and GA4, so your search data sits next to your AI visibility. Searchable does not have a native HubSpot integration.

Can I track AI visibility by country in Searchable and HubSpot AEO?

Yes, in both. Searchable runs each prompt in up to five locations, down to state or city level, and each extra location uses more of your prompt allowance. HubSpot AEO runs prompts as if asked from the country set on your ideal customer profile (ICP), so tracking several markets means writing separate prompts for each one. HubSpot doesn’t publish city or state targeting.

Which is better for agencies, Searchable or HubSpot AEO?

Searchable Agency plans include client projects, pitch workspaces, unlimited seats, and white-labeled reports, starting at $250 USD a month for five clients and 200 shared prompts. HubSpot AEO has no agency plan, so each client brand needs its own $50 USD subscription with 25 prompts. Five clients cost the same $250 USD on HubSpot AEO, for 125 prompts in total.

Can I try Searchable before switching from HubSpot AEO?

Yes. Searchable offers a 14-day trial on Brand Pro and Scale, so you can run it alongside HubSpot AEO on your own brand before deciding. Contact us for Enterprise. Our team can help compare your HubSpot AEO prompt set with Prompt Universe and discuss migration; historical data doesn’t transfer automatically between platforms.
