The only thing we ask in return
One condition: scans run on your own AI provider key. You add the key in the dashboard and pay the provider directly — AEOTime adds no fee on top.
Runs on your own key
In the dashboard, go to Settings → API Keys and add a key for any of the providers below. Keys are stored encrypted, never shown in plain text and are used only for your own scans.
No credit card, no trial period, no plan to upgrade to. You pay providers directly — AEOTime adds nothing on top.
Frequently asked
Is AEOTime really free? Is there a paid tier?
It is genuinely free. There are no plans, quotas, subscriptions or paid tiers, and we never ask for a card. AEOTime is an educational project: the goal is to teach AI search visibility and make it measurable. The only condition is that scans run on your own AI provider key.
Why do I have to add my own API key?
Measuring visibility means sending real prompts to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and others, and those calls cost money at the provider. Instead of paying that bill and charging you for it, AEOTime runs the measurement on your key: you pay for exactly what you scan and nobody takes a margin. Keys are stored encrypted, never displayed in plain text and used only for your own scans.
What does a scan cost me?
It depends on the provider and model, but with small models a typical scan costs cents; weekly tracking of a few prompts across a few platforms usually lands at a few dollars a month. Settings → API Keys in the dashboard shows your estimated spend for the last 30 days.
