Prompt allowance calculator: how many answers does your tracking need?

Our prompt allowance calculator works out how many prompts and answers a month your AI visibility tracking needs: questions times versions, times engines, times repeats, times runs. Enter a plan's allowance to see whether it fits and how many questions it covers, with every assumption shown beside the result.

Engines

The calculator runs in this page. Nothing you enter is sent to our server.

No email is needed, and nothing you paste is stored. A shared result stays in its link, not on our server.

What we check and why

  1. Answers, not just prompts

    An answer is one engine answering one question once. Answers a month = questions x versions x engines x repeats x runs a month.

  2. Why repeats matter

    Answers change from one asking to the next, so one answer is an observation, not a rate. Repeats show how often a name appears.

  3. Counts or rates

    Under our published rule, we report counts below 30 observations and add a 95% interval at 30 or more. The result says whether each question gets 30 answers a month.

  4. Plan allowances

    Prompts a month counts each question version once for each run, whatever the engines or repeats. Vendors count differently, so choose the unit your plan uses.

Questions

How many prompts should I track for AI visibility?

Start from the buyer decisions you need to see, not from a plan size. Ten questions on five engines with three repeats, run once a month, is 150 answers a month.

Why ask the same question more than once?

Answers change from one asking to the next, so one answer is an observation, not a rate. Repeats show how often a name appears; under our published rule we report counts below 30 observations and add a 95% interval at 30 or more.

Should I compare plans by prompts or by answers?

By answers, with the engines and repeats named. A prompt counted once across five engines is five answers, and a plan that counts prompts for each engine counts a different unit.
