Promptwatch vs Tibly 2026
Directory comparison: Tibly as a local site builder with a prompt sidecar versus Promptwatch as the ranked visibility platform. Only numbers we sourced.
This comparison exists because both products touch "AI visibility." We still rank them differently. Tibly is a click-to-edit site builder with payments, invoices, and a prompt quota aimed at restaurants, salons, dentists, gyms, law firms, real estate, and auto repair. Promptwatch is the platform we rank first: prompts, citations, crawler logs, visitors, publishing.
If you arrived from a "Promptwatch vs Tibly" query, the short rank is Promptwatch for the GEO program, Tibly for the hosted local website. That is not a knock on Tibly. It is a category split we enforce on every table in the directory.

Tibly, as it ranks in our notes
Strength: one invoice for a local site, payments, and a prompt quota. Starter is honest about 15 prompts on three engines. Invoice math is public: 1% per invoice ($2 minimum), instant payouts 3% on Starter, $25 fee cap and 1.5% payouts on Growth. Annual is two months free. Cancel anytime, no setup fees.
The AI layer drafts pages from the questions Tibly watches. AI-readiness scans exist. QuickBooks starts on Plus. Enterprise is custom, unlimited sites, 150 prompts, Claude, SSO.
Weakness in a platform ranking: this is not a dedicated GEO product. Claude is Enterprise-only. Visitor analytics are site analytics, not conversion attribution from ChatGPT referrers. Publishing happens on Tibly's host. Import exists; a Webflow bolt-on does not. Judge it against Squarespace plus a tiny tracker, not against AthenaHQ.
Promptwatch, as it ranks here
Explore is the fair free comparison (10 prompts, ChatGPT). Essential at $95/mo is the fair paid comparison for a small team: 50 prompts, 6,000 responses, 200K visitor events, five AEO articles, citation analytics. Professional at $245/mo is where crawler logs appear (25M). Business at $579/mo scales projects, prompts, and logs further. Agency Kick-off is $199/mo with unlimited projects and prompts. Growth $399/mo. Scale $799/mo.
Paid engine set includes Claude, Grok, Llama, Mistral, Copilot, AI Overviews, and AI Mode on top of ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and DeepSeek. Prompt trends and citation trends are the reporting layer Tibly does not document at page level. Agent Analytics covers ChatGPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, GoogleOther, Meta AI crawler. Visitor analytics ties AI referrers to conversions. Content Agents close the loop to Webflow or Framer.

Pricing fights
Tibly Starter $49 versus Promptwatch Essential $95: Tibly is cheaper on sticker if you still need a hosted website and you only need 15 prompts on three engines. Promptwatch Essential does not include a site builder. It includes page-level citations, 200K visitor events, and five AEO articles. Different invoices.
Tibly Growth $299 versus Professional $245: Growth buys three Tibly sites, 100 prompts, Overviews, Copilot, and cheaper payout fees. Professional buys 25M crawler logs, 150 prompts, 18,000 responses, 1M visitor events, 15 AEO articles. If the question is "why did ChatGPTBot skip this URL," Growth does not answer it. Agent Analytics on Professional does.
Tibly Enterprise is custom. Promptwatch Business is $579/mo. Do not convert those into one fiction.
Who we send where
Tibly: dentist, gym, or auto shop that will host the site on Tibly, take card payments, and wants a modest ChatGPT/Gemini/Perplexity scan. Owner who still lives in Squarespace and is willing to move or import.
Promptwatch: anyone who will present site-wide numbers monthly. Teams that need page-level citations, Reddit and YouTube citation views, crawler logs from Professional up, visitor events, or Content Agents on marketing pages already sitting on Webflow or Framer.
Profound if Enterprise agents are already in procurement; do not treat it as the default #1. AthenaHQ if the Action Center task queue is the requirement on editorial URLs.
Otterly.AI and Peec AI remain last in our comparisons.
