Promptwatch
Promptwatch is a focused, well-funded (Arches Capital-backed) GEO/AEO point solution launched in 2025 out of Amsterdam, built around prompt-level "Monitors" that track brand mentions across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and several other engines, paired with strong Answer Gap citation analysis and real-time AI-crawler analytics. It's a credible, traction-showing tool for understanding where and why competitors get cited instead of you, but its public materials show no dedicated technical/AEO site-audit product and no ecommerce revenue attribution. Menttion covers similar tracking and citation ground but adds full-site AEO auditing, GA4/GSC-to-revenue ROI attribution via Shopify/WooCommerce/Stripe, and a ranked, task-board-integrated Opportunity Engine, while pricing starts at Menttion's $1 snapshot rather than Promptwatch's $95/month subscription floor.

PromptwatchPure-play GEO/AEO tracker
An Amsterdam-based, VC-backed AI-search-visibility platform that tracks brand mentions and citations across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and other AI engines using user-defined "Monitors" built from real buyer prompts.
Starting price
$95/month
Free "Explore" tier tracks the first 50 prompts at $0. Paid tiers are monthly subscriptions: Essential ~$95/mo (per pricing page; some third-party reviews cite $75/mo, likely an older or annual-discounted figure) covering ~50 prompts/1 site; Professional ~$245/mo; Business ~$579/mo, scaling prompt volume, sites tracked, AI-generated articles, data-refresh frequency, and API/crawler-log access. No one-time low-cost entry point comparable to Menttion's $1 snapshot.
[02] Feature by feature
/ Capability ↔ Detail
| Capability | Menttion | Promptwatch |
|---|---|---|
| Engines/models tracked | 9 engines in one product: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek | ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Google AI Overviews per its own site; exact engine count and Copilot/Google AI Mode coverage not clearly itemized |
| Full answer/citation storage | Every answer from every engine stored in full per scan (not sampled): mention position, sentiment, and every citation URL captured | Tracks citations/sources and brand mentions per monitored prompt; public materials don't confirm whether full raw answer text is retained or only extracted mentions/citations |
| Sentiment analysis | Net sentiment per engine, attribute-level perception, head-to-head sentiment vs named competitors | Some reviews mention 'emotional tone' tracking, but sentiment is not a headline feature on Promptwatch's own product pages |
| AI crawler monitoring | Ties GPTBot/ClaudeBot/PerplexityBot/Google-Extended crawler activity into LLM Analytics alongside referral traffic and revenue | Agent Analytics: real-time tracking of AI crawler ("citation agent") visits, a core, well-documented feature |
| Analytics + revenue attribution | Joins AI referral traffic (GA4/GSC) and crawler activity to on-site behavior, then to revenue via Shopify/WooCommerce/Stripe, producing an ROI number | Google Search Console integration and server-log tracking of AI-driven visits; no publicly documented ecommerce/Stripe revenue tie-in |
| Technical + AEO page auditing | Site-wide crawl grading every page on technical SEO, content depth and AI-readiness; generates/verifies robots.txt and llms.txt; AI-judged deep-audit tier on metered credits | No dedicated site/technical-audit product found on promptwatch.com |
| Content creation/publishing | Content Studio: evidence-grounded briefs and AI drafts from citation/prompt data, block editor, scheduled auto-feed publishing to a connected blog or feed.menttion.com | Content Agents generate AI articles from citation-gap data (5-30/mo by plan); a publishing/scheduling workflow is not clearly documented |
| Ranked action recommendations | Opportunity Engine turns every gap into a ranked, evidence-linked action queued onto a task board across 6 categories | Answer Gap analysis surfaces opportunities, but independent reviewers describe recommendations as guidance-based, not algorithmically ranked |
| Starting price | $1 one-time snapshot report, then build-your-own usage-based plan (pay only for engines/prompt volume tracked) | Free "Explore" tier (50 prompts); paid plans from $95/month (Essential) |
