Semrush grew up measuring the search results page. Your buyers increasingly skip it: they ask an AI assistant and act on the shortlist it gives them. That is why Semrush added an AI Visibility Toolkit, and why tools built for the answer itself, like Qomvia, exist.
Short answer: Semrush is a broad SEO and marketing suite, and its AI Visibility Toolkit costs $99/month with no free trial. Qomvia is a standalone tool for the AI answer: a free agent-readiness score with every fix, and an AI monitor that asks ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok your buyers' questions daily for $69/month per site. If your team lives in Semrush, the toolkit keeps everything in one place. If you want to start without paying, Qomvia is the lower barrier.

What you get with Qomvia that Semrush does not bundle
Qomvia is built around one question: when a buyer asks an AI assistant, does the answer name you, and if not, what do you change? Every plan answers a part of it, and the first part is free.
A free agent-readiness score with every fix
The free scan runs 26 checks on how AI agents read your site, from crawler access and structured data to llms.txt and MCP discovery, and grades it A to F on a public method. The free Site monitor keeps the score, lists every failing check with a copy-paste fix and re-scans weekly. No signup for the score.
An AI monitor across ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok, refreshed daily
The AI monitor asks your buyers' questions to three models every day and records whether you are named, where you rank, the sentiment and the sources the model leaned on. Three models are included, not sold as add-ons.
Rivals in every answer
Each answer shows which competitor was named instead of you and which questions you are missing from, so the next fix is obvious. See why ChatGPT recommends your competitor.
From named to bought
Qomvia Market and the Qomvia MCP server let shopping agents find your offers and hand the buyer your own checkout, so a recommendation can become a sale.
When Semrush is the better fit
Choose Semrush if your team already runs keywords, backlinks and ads in Semrush and wants AI visibility in the same dashboard. Choose Qomvia if you want AI visibility and agent readiness without an SEO suite, a free public score you can share with your team, Grok and Gemini included, and per-site pricing that starts at zero.
What AI assistants say about this category
We track our own category with the AI monitor. When buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok for AI visibility tools, the names that come up most are Semrush, Peec AI, Ahrefs and Otterly.AI, and Qomvia appeared in only 3.3% of answers in one of our runs. That gap is the problem this product exists to close: being good is not enough if the answer names someone else. We publish fair comparisons, measure the answers daily and fix what the monitor flags, the same loop we sell.
Start free, then decide
You can test Qomvia before you spend anything, which is the fairest way to compare it with Semrush. Run the free agent-readiness score on your domain, fix what it flags, and sign up free to keep the weekly re-scan. When you want to know whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok recommend you, add the AI monitor. Every other comparison is on the compare page.
