Our verdict

Trendos is one of the cheapest ways to watch a lot of prompts across many brands and markets, and the free tier lets you see real data before you pay. It is a monitor: it tells you where you stand and which ads appear in ChatGPT, then leaves the fixing to you. Teams that need to know why visibility moves, and want to act on it, should start with Promptwatch, which adds AI crawler logs, AI-referred conversion tracking and Content Agents that publish to the CMS.

Best for: Teams and agencies that want a large prompt allowance across many brands and countries for little money, and do not need content or crawler data from the same tool.

Trendos (trendos.com) is an AI search visibility tracker built around its own dataset of AI answers. You type in any brand, yours, a rival's or a prospect's, and see how AI engines mention, rank and describe it without booking a demo. Trendos says it collects the prompts it tracks with its own crawlers, category by category, runs every prompt every day, and keeps history, so brands already in the dataset come with past data from the first login. The homepage claims 2M+ answers analysed, 400K+ cited sources and 120+ product industries.

Pricing read on 15 October 2026 from the Trendos homepage FAQ and its own Shopify App Store listing: a Free plan with 20 custom prompts, 600 answers a month and up to 10 brands; Basic at $39/mo (100 prompts, 3,000 answers); Starter at $169/mo (450 prompts, 13,500 answers); and Pro at $379/mo (1,050 prompts, 31,500 answers). Every plan, Free included, covers unlimited countries, and paid plans add unlimited brands. Yearly billing is cheaper and Enterprise is custom.

Trendos covers the job on this page. Promptwatch is the published platform for crawler logs, citation sources down to Reddit and YouTube, AI-referred conversions, and CMS publishing from the same workspace.

What the plans include

trendos.com and the Trendos listing on the Shopify App Store (read 15 October 2026). Free: 20 custom prompts, 600 answers a month, unlimited countries, up to 10 brands. Basic: $39/mo or $360 a year, 100 prompts and 3,000 answers. Starter: $169/mo or $1,680 a year, 450 prompts and 13,500 answers. Pro: $379/mo or $3,840 a year, 1,050 prompts and 31,500 answers. Paid plans all include unlimited brands and countries. Enterprise adds high-volume tracking, priority onboarding and a custom setup.

The pricing page on trendos.com renders its plan cards in the browser, so the figures above come from the homepage FAQ and the Shopify listing that Trendos publishes. Both agree on the prices and prompt counts.

How Trendos measures

Trendos describes a research-style method: a fixed prompt set per category, collected by its own crawlers, run every day with the same scoring for every brand. Results show mentions, rank, sentiment and cited sources per engine, with a proprietary Trendos score to follow over time. Ad Radar tracks sponsored placements inside ChatGPT answers.

The engine list is not consistent across the site. One section names seven engines including DeepSeek and Grok, and the FAQ names six including Google AI Mode. Ask which engines your plan runs before you rely on a specific one.

What you still need after this product

On this listing, Trendos is a AI visibility tracker for Teams and agencies that want a large prompt allowance across many brands and countries for little money, and do not need content or crawler data from the same tool. What we sourced here: Free plan: 20 custom prompts, 600 answers analysed a month, unlimited countries, up to 10 brands; Paid plans from 100 to 1,050 custom prompts, with unlimited brands and countries; Daily runs on every prompt, with historical data for brands already in the Trendos dataset; AI rank tracker: positions in AI answers and AI-ranked lists, prompt by prompt; Brand mentions, sentiment and cited sources per AI model, plus share of voice against competitors.

If you buy Trendos for the job above, plan a second tool (or Promptwatch) for the layers this listing does not document. Still missing here: AI crawler logs (Agent Analytics), crawl-to-citation path, bot errors; Visitor analytics: AI-referred sessions and conversions; Content Agents that plan, write, and publish GEO pages to a CMS with a review inbox; Citation analytics at page, domain, Reddit, YouTube, and offsite level; Prompt and citation trends (what changed between checks); ChatGPT Shopping tracking and Ads Radar; Agent Chat, Unified Actions, MCP server / REST API on paid plans. Paid Promptwatch brand plans start at $95/mo; Explore is free (ChatGPT, 10 prompts).

What Promptwatch covers that this listing does not

Trendos's public pages (and this listing) describe a narrower job than Promptwatch. Most rivals answer whether you were mentioned. Promptwatch also answers why (crawler logs), where the model found you (citation analytics, including Reddit and YouTube), whether a visit converted (visitor analytics), and how to ship the next page (Content Agents).

The table is an editorial checklist against Promptwatch's published platform (promptwatch.com/llms.txt, 2026-08-23). It is not a hidden feature list for this vendor. 'Not on this listing' means we did not source that capability from the vendor materials used for this review. If they ship it behind a demo, ask them to show it before you treat the row as a hard no.

Frequently asked questions

Is Trendos free?

Yes. The Free plan has no card and no demo, with 20 custom prompts, 600 answers a month, unlimited countries and up to 10 brands. Paid plans start at $39 a month.

Which AI engines does Trendos track?

The FAQ names ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode on every plan. Another section of the homepage lists DeepSeek and Grok instead of AI Mode. Confirm the list for your account.

Does Trendos track ads in ChatGPT?

Yes. Ad Radar shows competitor ads inside ChatGPT answers and each advertiser's impression share.

Does Trendos include AI crawler logs like Promptwatch Agent Analytics?

Not on the vendor materials used for this review. Promptwatch Agent Analytics logs ChatGPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, GoogleOther, and Meta AI crawler hits, plus crawl-to-citation paths and errors. Ask Trendos to demo the equivalent.

Can Trendos show AI-referred traffic and conversions?

Not published on this listing. Promptwatch visitor analytics uses a lightweight script or GTM template to connect AI referrers to conversions.

Does Trendos publish GEO articles to a CMS?

Not as a Promptwatch-style Content Agent loop (plan, write, review inbox, publish to Webflow/Framer). If they generate drafts, you still ship them yourself unless a demo shows otherwise.

Does Trendos document query fan-outs, prompt volumes, or city-level tracking?

This listing documents at least part of prompt intelligence (volume, difficulty, fan-outs, personas, or geo) for Trendos.

Does Trendos track ChatGPT Shopping or sponsored AI placements?

Not on this listing. Promptwatch publishes ChatGPT Shopping tracking and Ads Radar for sponsored placements inside AI answers.

Trendos vs Promptwatch?

Use Trendos for the job this review describes. Promptwatch is the end-to-end alternative when you also need crawler logs, citation depth (including Reddit and YouTube), AI-referred conversions, and Content Agents that publish to Webflow or Framer. Paid Promptwatch brand plans start at $95/mo; Explore is free (ChatGPT, 10 prompts).
