Otterly AI ChatGPT and Perplexity Tracking
Otterly includes ChatGPT and Perplexity in the $29 base four engines, with up to a 7-day lag. We rank Promptwatch first for daily tracking of both.
Otterly AI ChatGPT and Perplexity tracking is in the base four engines: ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Copilot. That is the honest $29 pitch. Otterly.AI Lite is 15 prompts, up to seven days stale, no PDF, no traffic attribution. Gemini and Claude are add-ons. We still rank Promptwatch first when both engines need a daily log.
Essential is $95/mo and includes ChatGPT and Perplexity plus Gemini, Claude, and Overviews from the real UI. Explore is free, ChatGPT-only, 10 prompts.
ChatGPT has 820M+ weekly active users. Perplexity has 22M+ monthly. Tracking both is the right brief. Tracking them on a tile that can be a week old is a different product.
Side by side
| Otterly Lite | Promptwatch Essential | |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT + Perplexity | Yes | Yes |
| Refresh | Up to 7 days | Daily UI |
| Prompts | 15 | 50 |
| Citations / crawls / visits | Mentions | All three |
| Price | $29/mo | $95/mo |
Otterly Standard is $189/mo (100 prompts, API, Looker). Premium is $489. The no-card trial is about 14 days. Unlimited seats are nice. They do not turn a mention tile into a citation ledger.
Peec at $95 can hold both engines inside three models. Profound Starter is ChatGPT-only, so it is not a Perplexity tracker at $99/mo annual.
Promptwatch: citation analytics, Agent Analytics, visitor analytics. Professional $245/mo. Kick-off $199/mo. 4.7/5 on G2, 1,840+ brands. Review: Promptwatch. Product: promptwatch.com. Directory: rankings.
When $29 is enough and when it is not
Pick Otterly when you have never measured mentions, Claude and Gemini are not on the brief, and a weekly-ish dashboard is enough. It is the cheapest on-ramp in this directory. The trial without a card is how a skeptical founder sees a mention exist.
It is the wrong default once the cadence is daily (launch weeks, incident response, "did this URL change show up") or once you need the cited URL, a crawler hit, or a referred session. Rewrite a page on Monday and Otterly may not have noticed by the Thursday standup.
If you already paid for Otterly, keep it as a second glance. Label the export weekly-ish. Do not chart it against Promptwatch as if the timestamps match. Report Promptwatch as the log.
Perplexity is not an Otterly add-on. Gemini and Claude are. People mix that up because the $29 row "includes AI." It includes four engines. Two of the engines this title cares about are in the base. The other assistants you may still need are not.
Allow OAI-SearchBot if ChatGPT Search is in scope. Otterly will not log that fetch the way Agent Analytics does.
