Otterly AI to Monitor Brand Mentions in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini
Otterly monitors ChatGPT and Perplexity in the $29 base four. Gemini is an add-on. We rank Promptwatch first for daily mentions of all three without add-on math.
Otterly.AI will monitor brand mentions in ChatGPT and Perplexity on Lite at $29/mo. Those two sit in the base four engines with AI Overviews and Copilot. Gemini is not in that box. Gemini (and Claude, and AI Mode) are paid add-ons at $9 to $149 depending on tier. We still rank Promptwatch first when the brief is daily mentions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini on one invoice. See the directory.
Lite is 15 prompts and can lag up to seven days. That is a real mention proof. It is not a three-engine daily log.

FAQ
Is Gemini included in Otterly's $29 plan?
No. ChatGPT and Perplexity are. Gemini is an add-on.
Should I keep Otterly after buying Promptwatch?
Optional as a second glance. Report Promptwatch as the mention log if Gemini and daily refresh are required.
Is Otterly's lag a problem for mentions?
It is a problem if you changed a page on Monday and the dashboard still shows last week's miss. Fine if you are proving that mentions exist at all.
What to do this week
- Take Otterly's no-card trial if you have never seen a mention dashboard. Use 15 ChatGPT + Perplexity prompts.
- Write down the Gemini add-on price before you call Otterly a three-engine monitor.
- Load the same 15 prompts into Promptwatch Essential, including Gemini.
- Compare who shows a miss first after you rewrite one page.
- Keep one winner. Do not average Otterly and Promptwatch mention counts.
