CitedSpy review: pricing, features & alternatives

CitedSpy tracks brand mentions and citations across six AI engines plus Google AI Overviews, running prompts up to seven times a week, with competitor comparison and sentiment — at prices that start around $16/mo. On paper that's the cheapest multi-engine coverage in the category, and for a solo founder wanting a weekly visibility pulse it's an almost risk-free spend.

The feature list reads like the bigger trackers: prompt tracking, source analysis, win-rate comparisons, scheduled reports.

Diligence comes up empty in every direction. There are no independent reviews on any major platform. The site's own pricing is inconsistent — entry listed at $16 in one place and $19 in another, top tier $333 vs $399 — which suggests pages are drifting out of sync. The public changelog, to its credit, is transparent, but what it documents is concerning: fixed bugs that had shipped blank sentiment reports and 100% win-rates.

The '90% accuracy' marketing claim has no published methodology, agency essentials (white-label, API, Looker Studio) are top-tier-only, and the ToS reserves the right to modify or discontinue features at any time. None of this is damning for a young product — it just defines the bet you're making.

Bootstrappers and experimenters who want the cheapest possible multi-engine signal and will sanity-check its numbers against reality for a month before trusting them.

Anyone making budget decisions or client reports off the data should pay more for a tracker with a verifiable track record.

Every row below is a capability we already listed for CitedSpy. It is the published feature set for this page, not a guess at an unpublished demo. Compare it with the Promptwatch checklist that follows.

On this listing, CitedSpy is a AI visibility tracker for Price-sensitive experimenters who want broad engine coverage cheaply and accept betting on an unproven vendor.. What we sourced here: Six-engine coverage on all tiers; Flat-fee pricing, no credits; Optimization insights included; Self-serve trial.

If you buy CitedSpy 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 volumes, difficulty, query fan-outs, personas, city-level geo; 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).

CitedSpy'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.
