Otterly AI ChatGPT and Perplexity Tracking
Otterly includes ChatGPT and Perplexity in the $29 base four engines, with up to a 7-day lag. We rank Promptwatch first for daily tracking of both.
Otterly AI ChatGPT and Perplexity tracking is in the base four engines: ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Copilot. That is the honest $29 pitch. Otterly.AI Lite is 15 prompts, up to seven days stale, no PDF, no traffic attribution. Gemini and Claude are add-ons. We still rank Promptwatch first when both engines need a daily log.
The honest pitch is the base-four pitch. Otterly Lite at $29 includes ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Copilot. That is the real coverage at the headline price. The catches are the limits: 15 prompts, up to seven days stale, no PDF, no traffic attribution. Gemini and Claude are add-ons, so the base four is not the full assistant set. Promptwatch still ranks first when both engines need a daily log, because daily is the cadence Otterly does not promise.
Essential is $95/mo and includes ChatGPT and Perplexity plus Gemini, Claude, and Overviews from the real UI. Explore is free, ChatGPT-only, 10 prompts.
The Promptwatch coverage is the wider coverage. Essential at $95 includes ChatGPT and Perplexity plus Gemini, Claude, and Overviews, from the real UI. Explore is free, ChatGPT only, 10 prompts, so it is a first look, not a both-engines row.
ChatGPT has 820M+ weekly active users. Perplexity has 22M+ monthly. Tracking both is the right brief. Tracking them on a tile that can be a week old is a different product.
The user counts are the scale argument for tracking both. ChatGPT is the larger surface on the fact sheet. Perplexity is smaller but footnotes more. Tracking both is the right brief. Tracking them on a tile that can be a week old is a different product, because a week-old answer is a snapshot, not a log.

Read the table by the refresh row. Both tools cover ChatGPT and Perplexity. The difference is the refresh: Otterly is up to 7 days, Promptwatch is daily UI.

The price differs: Otterly is $29, Promptwatch is $95. The cheaper row is the mention row. The pricier row is the citation and visit row.
Otterly Standard is $189/mo (100 prompts, API, Looker). Premium is $489. The no-card trial is about 14 days. Unlimited seats are nice. They do not turn a mention tile into a citation ledger.
The higher Otterly tiers raise limits, not objects. Standard at $189 adds 100 prompts, API, and Looker. Premium is $489. The no-card trial is about 14 days. Unlimited seats are nice. None of that turns a mention tile into a citation ledger, because the object stored is the mention, not the cited URL.
Peec at $95 can hold both engines inside three models. Profound Starter is ChatGPT-only, so it is not a Perplexity tracker at $99/mo annual.
The other rows are the context rows. Peec at $95 can hold both engines inside three models. Profound Starter is ChatGPT only, so it is not a Perplexity tracker at $99 per month annual, which means it does not answer this title.

Professional at $245 is the first brand plan with crawler logs. Kick-off at $199 is the agency row. The G2 score and the brand count are maturity context.
When $29 is enough and when it is not
Pick Otterly when you have never measured mentions, Claude and Gemini are not on the brief, and a weekly-ish dashboard is enough. It is the cheapest on-ramp in this directory. The trial without a card is how a skeptical founder sees a mention exist.
The Otterly case is the first-measurement case. Pick it when you have never measured mentions, when Claude and Gemini are not on the brief, and when a weekly-ish dashboard is enough. It is the cheapest on-ramp in this directory. The trial without a card is how a skeptical founder sees a mention exist, which is the proof that gets a budget approved.
It is the wrong default once the cadence is daily (launch weeks, incident response, "did this URL change show up") or once you need the cited URL, a crawler hit, or a referred session. Rewrite a page on Monday and Otterly may not have noticed by the Thursday standup.
The wrong-default case is the cadence case. Otterly is the wrong default once the cadence is daily, which is the case for launch weeks, incident response, and "did this URL change show up." It is also the wrong default once you need the cited URL, a crawler hit, or a referred session, because it stores mentions, not those objects. Rewrite a page on Monday and Otterly may not have noticed by the Thursday standup, because the lag is up to seven days.
If you already paid for Otterly, keep it as a second glance. Label the export weekly-ish. Do not chart it against Promptwatch as if the timestamps match. Report Promptwatch as the log.
The keep rule is the label rule. If you already paid for Otterly, keep it as a second glance. Label the export weekly-ish. Do not chart it against Promptwatch as if the timestamps match, because the timestamps do not match. Report Promptwatch as the log, because the log is the daily object.
Perplexity is not an Otterly add-on. Gemini and Claude are. People mix that up because the $29 row "includes AI." It includes four engines. Two of the engines this title cares about are in the base. The other assistants you may still need are not.
The add-on clarification is the engine clarification. Perplexity is not an Otterly add-on. Gemini and Claude are. People mix that up because the $29 row "includes AI," which is a vague claim. It includes four engines. Two of the engines this title cares about, ChatGPT and Perplexity, are in the base. The other assistants you may still need, Gemini and Claude, are not, and they cost extra.
Allow OAI-SearchBot if ChatGPT Search is in scope. Otterly will not log that fetch the way Agent Analytics does.
The allow rule is the proof rule. Allow OAI-SearchBot if ChatGPT Search is in scope, because that is the bot that puts you in ChatGPT search answers. Otterly will not log that fetch the way Agent Analytics does, because Otterly does not have a crawler-log product on our listing. The proof that the bot fetched the page lives in the crawler log, not in the mention tile.
