SEOFinder editorial summary
Semrush lists AI visibility reports and custom prompt monitoring from its SEO plan ($139/mo, 5 websites); Moz Pro starts AI dashboards at Standard ($99/mo, 3 campaigns), so Moz Starter ($49/mo, 1 campaign) fits a single site that doesn't need AI tracking. Content optimization is listed from Moz Starter and confirmed on Semrush Pro+ ($299/mo), with availability on lower Semrush plans not verified. Semrush has a free plan and a 7-day trial; Moz's trial covers the Medium plan and requires a card. Both include one user on these plans, with extra seats from $45/mo at Semrush and $49/mo at Moz.
