VisiScan vs Geoptie 2026
Same four engines on paper. Geoptie sells daily tracking from $49/mo. VisiScan sells a scan and a $49 report. Logo walls versus sample math, Promptwatch in the table.
VisiScan and Geoptie both name ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. Stop there and they look interchangeable. They are not. Geoptie (2025, Transkriptor team) sells daily prompt tracking from $49/mo: Starter 15 prompts and 2 brands, Professional $99 for 100 prompts and 10 brands, 14-day trial, unlimited seats, Content Studio, a pile of free GEO tools. VisiScan sells a 5-question free scan (1 URL), a $49 144-answer report, and $29/mo weekly Monitor. Promptwatch is the third column for crawler logs and publish.
The comparison starts because both products print the same four engine names on their pages. A buyer who reads only the engine list treats them as the same tool. They are not. Geoptie, from 2025 and the Transkriptor team, sells daily prompt tracking as a subscription. Starter at $49/mo carries 15 prompts and 2 brands. Professional at $99 carries 100 prompts and 10 brands. A 14-day trial, unlimited seats, Content Studio, and a pile of free GEO tools round out the listing. VisiScan sells a different shape of product: a 5-question free scan capped at one URL, a $49 144-answer report as a one-time document, and a $29/mo weekly Monitor for the standing option. Promptwatch is the third column because neither of the other two ships crawler logs or a publish loop, and those two things are what turn a mention tracker into a visibility platform.
Geoptie's listing also carries a credibility file we will not wash out: AKQA, Decathlon, Capgemini, Verizon, Dentsu, Amgen appear as logos without independent corroboration on our catalog. Zero G2 / Capterra / Trustpilot / TrustRadius reviews when that entry was written. Enterprise price roughly doubled (blog $199 vs live $333). A "six-engine" header over four engines. Homepage FAQ still citing Google Bard. Self-ranked listicles. Judge the trial, not the wall.
The Geoptie row comes with a credibility file that this directory does not clean up, because cleaning it up would hide what a buyer needs to see. AKQA, Decathlon, Capgemini, Verizon, Dentsu, and Amgen appear as logos on the listing without independent corroboration in our catalog, so the logo wall is a marketing surface, not a sourced client list. There were zero reviews on G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, or TrustRadius when that entry was written, so there is no third-party score to cite. Enterprise price roughly doubled between the blog at $199 and the live page at $333, which is the kind of drift that belongs in a footnote before a number is quoted. A "six-engine" header sits over four engines, which is the same kind of mismatch that shows up on other listings in this category. The homepage FAQ still cites Google Bard, a name that has aged out of the current product. Self-ranked listicles appear on the site. The takeaway is to judge the trial, not the wall.
VisiScan publishes question counts, sample counts, live versus replay, and a founder (Mike Holp). Harborlight is illustrative. 328 scans are vendor. No logo wall of that kind.
VisiScan's credibility comes from what it publishes rather than who it lists. Question counts, sample counts, and the live versus replay distinction are on the page, so a buyer can audit the method. The founder is named, Mike Holp. Harborlight is illustrative, not a sourced client. The 328 scans are vendor numbers, not the buyer's market. There is no logo wall of the kind Geoptie carries.

Claude at $49/mo on Geoptie is uncommon for a standing tracker. Claude on VisiScan's $0 scan is uncommon for a checker. Different products. Geoptie Starter 15 prompts is a small standing set. VisiScan $49 is a deep sample of 12 questions, then it ends unless you buy Monitor.
Two uncommon placements are worth naming. Claude at $49/mo on Geoptie is uncommon for a standing tracker, because most trackers gate Claude behind a higher tier or an add-on. Claude on VisiScan's $0 scan is uncommon for a checker, because most free checkers strip the engine list down. The two uncommon placements do not make the products the same. Geoptie Starter at 15 prompts is a small standing set, the kind a buyer runs daily and watches move. VisiScan's $49 is a deep sample of 12 questions, and then it ends unless the buyer adds Monitor, which is the difference between a subscription and a document.
Pick
Geoptie if you wanted cheap daily four-engine tracking and you will ignore the logo wall and run the 14-day trial. VisiScan if you wanted a local PDF this afternoon. Promptwatch if you wanted citations, visitor events ($95), or 25M crawler logs ($245). Do not treat Geoptie's $49/mo as VisiScan's $49 report. One is a subscription. One is a document.
The pick splits three ways. Geoptie is the buy when the requirement is cheap daily four-engine tracking and the buyer is willing to ignore the logo wall and run the 14-day trial on its merits. VisiScan is the buy when the requirement is a local PDF this afternoon, a named-rate deliverable for one URL. Promptwatch is the buy when the requirement is citations, visitor events at $95, or 25M crawler logs at $245. The line that closes the comparison is the one about the two $49 numbers. Geoptie's $49/mo is a subscription. VisiScan's $49 is a document. Treating them as the same price is the mistake that puts a one-time report on a monthly line in the budget.
