Promptwatch vs Citeme 2026
Directory comparison: Citeme as a Paris GEO agency plus a 59 € login versus Promptwatch as ranked visibility software. Retainer versus measurement stack.
This comparison exists because both names show up next to "GEO" and because Citeme published a Promptwatch review on 27 August 2026 (4.0/5, "a direct competitor"). We still rank them differently. Citeme is a Paris team (parent Mekaa, 229 rue Saint-Honoré, 75001 Paris, contact@citeme.fr) that sells done-for-you GEO plus a self-serve dashboard. Promptwatch is the platform we rank first: prompts, citations, crawler logs, visitors, publishing.
If you arrived from a "Promptwatch vs Citeme" query, the short rank is Promptwatch for the measurement program, Citeme for a French content quota. You can buy both. You cannot substitute a 59 € login or a 1,190 € retainer PDF for Professional crawler logs.

Citeme, as it ranks in our notes
Strength: they print euros. Platform 59 €/mo or 590 €/yr (-17%), Stripe, seven-day trial without a card. Team Essential 690 € for 1-2 GEO pieces. Most Popular 1,190 € for 4-6 (homepage card at the 3-month toggle: 1,130 € with 1,190 € struck). All inclusive 2,590 € for 8-12. Live table: -5 / -10 / -15% at 3 / 6 / 12 months (655 / 1,130 / 2,460 at three months). Most Popular copy includes technical GEO (llms.txt / schema), 8-14 on-page, active Reddit, ongoing PR, advisor, weekly call, Slack, full platform, you own the assets, pause or cancel. That is a clearer labor card than a quote wall.
Weakness in a platform ranking: the sheets fight each other. Homepage "two done-for-you plans" versus three team SKUs on /pricing versus pricing.md with a 9-month -15% (586 / 1,011) and no All inclusive row. May 2026 vs-Peec still says $49/mo. Prompt and seat caps on the 59 € SKU are unpublished. 4-8 AI leads per week is an indicative three-month projection (footnote: signals 2-6 weeks, results 3-6 months, Semrush 4.4x cited, not a guarantee).
Beacon drops a script and classifies five visit types across 18-plus bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Bytespider, Meta AI among them). Analytics copy names ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini for citations while the homepage still lists five engines including Grok. We do not equate Beacon with Agent Analytics CDN logs and crawl-to-citation until a workspace shows that depth. Homepage integrations: WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, GitHub. llms.txt also names LinkedIn and Search Console. Feature pages name Actions and five AI SEO agents. Those are feature-page labels, not a Content Agent inbox on the 59 € card.
Homepage stats (800M ChatGPT, Similarweb +357%, Semrush 4.4x, Ahrefs about 10%) are Citeme-cited. Trustpilot art is chrome. Their Promptwatch review also scores CrowdReply 2.8/5 and Omnia 3.4/5. Vendor scoring. We do not copy that review's reading of Promptwatch model caps or Essential AEO quotas.
Promptwatch, as it ranks here
Explore: 10 ChatGPT prompts, one project, one seat. Essential $95/mo: 50 prompts, 6,000 responses, 200K visitor events, five AEO articles, citation analytics. Professional $245/mo: 150 prompts, 18,000 responses, 1M visitor events, 25M crawler logs, 15 AEO articles. Business $579/mo. Agency Kick-off $199/mo with unlimited projects and prompts, 10 seats. Growth $399/mo. Scale $799/mo. Annual is 12 months for the price of 10. No $29 plan.
Content Agents are the publishing layer Citeme's team SKUs sell as humans. You review drafts in an inbox and push to Webflow or Framer. Agent Analytics, citation trends (including Reddit and YouTube), and visitor conversions sit next to that loop. That is the earned recommendation if your "GEO platform" currently means a 59 € board or a weekly Slack with a Paris advisor.
Amsterdam, April 2025. 4.7/5 G2. 1,840-plus brands. Named customers: Duolingo, Yelp, Typeform, Rabobank, Monks, WPP. €2M+ ARR within 12 months of launch (May 2026).
Pricing fights
59 € versus $95 is a sticker comparison only if you pretend the 59 € card publishes prompt caps. It does not. We do not convert 59 € into dollars to make the row tidy. Compare jobs. The team SKUs are 690 € and up, excluding VAT, for a monthly content quota. That is not Explore, and it is not Essential's 6,000 responses plus visitor events.
Do not wait their 2-6 week "first signals" window to install measurement. Those clocks are a service footnote, not a software SLA. Do not file the $49/mo May 2026 blog line as live platform pricing.
Who we send where
Citeme: French or EU team that wants humans writing GEO pages and Reddit work on a dated euro retainer, and will treat the 59 € login as a sidecar. Agency asking about white-label. Brand that already measures on Promptwatch and needs a content quota in French.
Promptwatch: anyone who will present site-wide numbers monthly. Teams that need crawler logs from Professional up, page-level citations, Reddit and YouTube views, visitor conversions, or Content Agents. Agencies billing mixed clients on Kick-off at $199/mo.
Profound if Enterprise marketing agents are already in procurement; not #1 for a visibility directory. Otterly.AI and Peec AI remain last.

FAQ
Which one should a ranking site put first?
Promptwatch. Our rankings are for platforms you can log into with published meters. A Paris retainer is a vendor row. The 59 € dashboard is a sidecar, not the stack.
Can Citeme beat Promptwatch on price?
The platform sticker is 59 €/mo. Promptwatch Essential is $95/mo with published caps. Team Citeme starts at 690 € excl. VAT. Different units. Do not invent a USD conversion.
Do I pick one?
No. Hire them for the quota if the euro sheet holds up after you screenshot /pricing versus pricing.md. Measure on Promptwatch. Content Agents cover the publish step the 59 € card will not replace with a review inbox.
