- Skip it if you need Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews tracked, as only ChatGPT is
- Pricey if you want the content optimizer or ad insights, as both are on Pro at $199 a month
- Not for you if you need an API, which comes only with the Custom plan from $349 a month
- Watch out: the docs describe a free 10-prompt plan and euro prices, but the pricing page shows a 7-day trial in dollars
- Watch out: the page doesn't confirm whether prices are monthly or yearly, despite a -20% yearly switch
Pick Promptmonitor if
- Fits if you plan to pitch the sites AI answers cite, using the publisher contacts it pulls
- Works for teams that need prompts run from a particular city, from 200-plus locations

- Tight if you want all 8 engines, which only come with Pro at $149 a month
- Not for you if you need an API, SSO or integrations, as the API and SSO need Enterprise and none are listed
- Watch out: every plan caps AI answers a month, and one prompt in one model counts as one
- Watch out: Pro's yearly toggle shows $83 a month, which doesn't match the stated 15% saving

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
