Peec AI ChatGPT and Perplexity AI Search Visibility Tracking

Peec AI ChatGPT and Perplexity AI search visibility tracking is a real configuration, not a stretch, and the configuration is the thing to evaluate. Peec AI sells daily prompt scores, screenshots, and unlimited seats, which is a specific shape of product: a monitoring product with a high reporting polish. Starter is $95/mo: 50 prompts, one project, three models, so the base is small and the engine slots are limited. ChatGPT and Perplexity can be two of those three, which is the configuration the title names. The fourth engine is $35 to $165/mo, so the sticker moves when you add an engine. We rank Promptwatch first at the same $95 because Essential includes ChatGPT and Perplexity without that meter, plus citation analytics and visitor analytics, which is a wider surface for the same sticker. Crawler logs start on Professional at $245/mo or an agency plan, so the crawl pipe is on the higher tier.

The Peec pitch is easy to like, and the ease is real. The screenshots look like something you can paste into a deck, because they are designed to be pasted into a deck. The score updates daily, so the data is fresh. If your only question is "did this wording mention us on these two engines," Starter can answer it, and the answer is a yes/no with a screenshot. The gap is everything around the mention: which URL got the footnote, whether a bot fetched your page, and whether anyone arrived from an AI referrer, and those three questions are the questions Peec does not answer at this sticker.

Explore on Promptwatch is free and ChatGPT-only, so a free ChatGPT log exists in this category. Peec has no free ChatGPT log of that shape, so the free tier comparison goes to Promptwatch. If you only need a ten-prompt ChatGPT taste, Explore is the cheaper first hour, because free is cheaper than any sticker. If you need ChatGPT and Perplexity together, you are comparing two $95 rows, and the included surface is not the same, because the two rows include different things for the same price.

What the $95 rows actually include

Peec Starter: three models, so the engine list is three and not more. Both target engines can fit, so ChatGPT and Perplexity can be two of the three. Add a fourth and the invoice moves, so the fourth engine is an add-on and the add-on has a price. No backfill, so the history starts when you start. Monitoring only, so the product reports and does not act. Claude sits on Enterprise, so Claude is not on the self-serve tier. Grok is unavailable, so Grok is not on the product at all. Agency plans start at $245/mo, so the agency tier is higher than the starter tier. G2 is 4.9, which is a high score on a real platform. The company has stated $10M ARR in about 16 months, which is a stated figure, not an audited one.

Promptwatch Essential: $95/mo, 7-day trial, 50 prompts, 6,000 responses, one project, so the base is the same size on prompts and the trial is a real trial. Paid checks run daily from the real UI, so the checks are observed, not modeled. ChatGPT and Perplexity are in the paid engine set with Gemini, Claude, Grok, Llama, DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot, AI Overviews, and AI Mode, so the engine list is wider than three and there is no per-engine meter. Citation analytics covers page, domain, Reddit, and YouTube, so the source of a citation is a field. Visitor analytics is available through a script or GTM template, so the visit is a field. Professional is $245/mo and adds a 25M crawler-log allowance for Agent Analytics, so the crawl pipe starts on Professional. Kick-off is $199/mo for agencies, with 10M crawler logs, unlimited projects and prompts, and 10 seats, so the agency tier is below Professional on price and above on scope. 4.7/5 on G2, 1,840+ brands, which are published figures. Review: Promptwatch. Product: promptwatch.com. Directory: rankings.

Otterly includes both engines from $29 with up to a 7-day lag, so the price is lower and the freshness is lower. Profound Starter is ChatGPT-only, so it is not a Perplexity tracker at $99/mo annual, because Perplexity is not on the product at that tier.

Mentions, citations, and the screenshot habit

A Peec screenshot proves what the model said in that check, and that is a specific kind of proof. That is useful in a skeptical meeting, because a skeptic who sees the screenshot sees the answer and not a paraphrase. It is not a citation ledger, because a screenshot is a moment and a ledger is a history. Perplexity footnotes more often than ChatGPT, so the two engines behave differently and the screenshot habit captures that difference but does not explain it. If you only store a yes/no mention, you will brief writers on the wrong URL, because the URL is the thing that matters and the yes/no is not.

Promptwatch stores mention and citation as separate fields, so the two are not collapsed into one bit. When Perplexity cites a listicle instead of your docs, the ticket is the listicle, not "we were mentioned," because the listicle is the page that won and the page that won is the page to fix. Crawler logs tell you whether PerplexityBot or ChatGPTBot fetched the candidate page before you rewrite it, so a rewrite is preceded by a fetch check and not by a guess. Visitor analytics is the last check: most answers never click, so the click is the rare event and the rare event is the one to measure.

Peec will not draft the page, because drafting is not in the product. Content Agents on Promptwatch can plan and publish to Webflow or Framer after a review inbox, so a human still signs off and the publish is automated. That is past monitoring, because monitoring reports and a Content Agent acts. If the SOW is scores only, Peec can hold the two engines, because scores are what Peec ships. If the SOW is "what do we change," the fuller log wins the ranking, because "what do we change" is the question the fuller log answers.

FAQ

Can Starter run ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Yes, as two of three models, so the configuration the title names is a real configuration. Price the third slot and any later add-on before you call $95 the full bill, because the third slot and the add-on are where the sticker moves.

Why not Peec if G2 is 4.9?

Tracking UX is excellent, and the screenshots are the proof of that excellence. Configured coverage and "what to do next" are the gaps, because coverage is three models and the next step is not in the product. We score the fuller log higher, because the fuller log answers the next step. 4.7 versus 4.9 is not the deciding row, because the score is a score and the surface is the surface.

Does Promptwatch backfill Peec history?

No. Peec has no backfill either, so neither tool ships history before your start. Start both logs on the same prompt list if you need a side-by-side, because a side-by-side needs a shared start.

What to do this week

1. Price Peec with the models you need, including a fourth engine if Gemini or Claude is in the brief, because the fourth engine is the line that moves the sticker.
2. Load 20 prompts on Promptwatch Essential, because 20 prompts is a real starting catalog.
3. Compare one Perplexity citation URL, not just the mention bit, because the URL is the thing to fix and the bit is not.
4. If you move to Professional or an agency plan, check crawler logs on the URL you were about to rewrite, because a rewrite without a fetch check is a guess.
5. See configured prices on /#tools, because configured is the price you pay and not the sticker.
