What Jam does
Jam (spreadjam.com) is a paid AEO and GEO platform. It shows how often AI answers name you next to your competitors. Five research agents read the answers, the pages they cite, your site and the threads AI quotes. Jam then ranks actions and can do the work for you: new pages, page edits, technical fixes, outreach and community replies.

Where Jam is stronger
- It checks more AI engines: 6 on every plan, plus Claude as an add-on.
- It checks more prompts, more often: up to 1,000 prompts every day.
- It writes new pages and page edits with a source for each claim, then opens a pull request or gives you Markdown.
- It connects to more tools: Slack, Discord, Telegram, webhooks, a REST API, and MCP sign-in from Claude and ChatGPT.
- You can start a Jam trial today. Our paid plans are open, with monthly or annual billing.
Why teams look for an alternative
- There is no free plan after the trial, and no free scan before you sign in.
- The entry plan costs $144 a month, and Claude costs more.
- Jam's product pages do not say that it requests your pages as each AI crawler. If your site builds its pages in the browser, check that first.
- A small team may not need 6 engines or monthly work credits.
Which alternative fits
- You want many engines, daily data and work done for you: Jam fits.
- You want the lowest entry price: Otterly.ai, from $29 a month for 15 prompts.
- You want a published price and daily data: Peec AI, from $95 a month for 50 prompts.
- You are not sure AI crawlers can read your site: run our free scan first, because a tracker only measures the result.
Questions people ask
How much does Jam cost?
Jam's pricing page lists $144 a month for 50 prompts weekly on 6 engines, $299 a month for 400 prompts every other day, and $974 a month for 1,000 prompts daily. Its FAQ gives $140 a month on one engine. Enterprise is priced by quote.
Does Jam have a free plan?
Jam shows a 14-day trial on its three standard plans. Its pricing page does not show a free plan that continues after the trial.
Does Jam track Claude?
Yes, as an add-on. On the entry plan, Claude adds $30 a month. Our paid plans do not check Claude.
Is Why Won't AI a Jam alternative?
Partly. We check what AI crawlers get from your pages, and our paid plans check a smaller set of prompts each week. If you need many engines, daily tracking and drafted pages now, Jam fits better.
