Which one is for you
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
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need daily checks on Starter, which runs twice a week on 3 engines with 1 seat
- 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
Pick PromptSignal if

- Skip it if cited sources are what you're after, as the listing doesn't show them
- Tight if you track more than 50 prompts, since the next step is a custom plan
- Watch out: it's still onboarding early users, and even Starter's button books a demo
- Watch out: only a monthly price is shown, and no integrations or API are listed

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.
