02 · The short answer

Who each one is for.

Promptwatch is an Amsterdam and New York GEO platform launched in 2025: daily tracking, thirteen models split between real-product and API collection, content agents with a review inbox and CMS publishing, crawler analytics across seven CDNs, API and MCP on the $95 Essential plan, and a white-label dashboard for agencies. Each plan caps the models tracked at four.

Promptwatch describes itself as “#1 AI Search Visibility & GEO Platform” and leads with “Make AI Search your next revenue channel”.

Fifteen questions, both answers.

The same questions on every compare page, so the table can't be tuned to flatter us. Each mark is a shape first and a colour second: a tick, a tilde for in part, a cross, a dash for not published.

Watch for, on Mentionova

  • Starter tracks three engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google) and 25 prompts; the other three need Scale
  • The API is on Scale and above; the MCP server and connectors are on every plan
  • Runs are weekly, fortnightly or monthly; opportunities are rescored nightly, not the prompts

Watch for, on Promptwatch

  • Pricing page caps each plan at "4 models tracked" despite 13 models available Source
  • Report sharing is file-based: "there are no public share links for reports" (docs/academy/sharing-reports.md); white-label absent from docs index Source
  • No SOC 2 / SSO / security page; /security 404 Source
  • Annual prices and agency-tier (Kick-off/Growth/Scale) prices not displayed; Explore free tier ambiguous Source

05 · Criterion by criterion

Seven things that actually differ.

Mentionova's column describes the product as shipped. The Promptwatch column is built from its own pages. The edge line is our call, and it doesn't always go our way.

  1. 01

    Engines and cadence

    Choose based on: Which engines your buyers actually ask, and whether daily snapshots or scheduled runs with nightly scoring suit how you work.

    Mentionova

    Six engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google and Reddit. Starter covers ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google; Scale and Enterprise cover all six. Each workspace runs weekly, every two weeks or monthly, and opportunities are recomputed from the latest run every night. Google runs record the organic top ten; AI Overviews are pulled on demand through Nova rather than tracked on a schedule.

    Promptwatch

    Promptwatch names 13 engines: ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity, Alexa, Claude, DeepSeek, Mistral, Grok, OpenCode, Claude Code. Docs split: live-search platforms (ChatGPT, AI Overview, AI Mode, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity, Alexa) "collected from the real product" vs API models (Claude, DeepSeek, Mistral, Grok, OpenCode, Claude Code) "called through their provider APIs" (docs/academy/choosing-your-models, how-promptwatch-collects-data). Conflict: pricing page shows "4 models tracked" per plan; docs say "every other plan unlocks all active models". Codex/Claude Code tracking added 2026-10-02 (changelog). Run cadence: "The default, and what every standard plan uses, is daily." Weekly/monthly custom cadences for enabled orgs; collection "in batches through the day" (promptwatch.com/docs/academy/data-freshness.md).

    EdgePromptwatch lists thirteen models but each plan tracks four. Mentionova's Scale plan tracks six. Promptwatch on choice, Mentionova on included coverage.

  2. 02

    What gets measured

    Choose based on: Which numbers your reports have to show, and whether you want to be told what changed rather than handed a new number.

    Mentionova

    Every run stores mention rate, citation rate, share of voice, position-1 rate, sentiment, engine coverage and an AI visibility score. Between runs the Monitor feed logs eight kinds of drift on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini: a mention gained or lost, a position up or down, a changed description, a sentiment shift, a competitor entering or leaving. A daily email digests the opportunities.

    Promptwatch

    Promptwatch reports Visibility Score, Share of Voice, Sentiment score, Position in answer, Citations vs Mentions, Citation rank, Self-citation rate, Mentions / Rank, Query fanouts, Heatmap, AI-referred visits. Prompt volume or demand data: not published. Typed change alerts: not published as a feature.

    EdgeBoth score visibility, share of voice, sentiment and position. Promptwatch adds citation rank and a heatmap; Mentionova adds typed drift. Even.

  3. 03

    From gap to draft

    Choose based on: Whether the tool should diagnose the gap, write the brief and leave a draft in your CMS, or hand you a list to act on.

    Mentionova

    Opportunities are scored 0–100 on gap, reach, effort and heat, each with a diagnosis, a specific action and a content brief. The content workflow runs brief, research, keywords, article in your brand voice, fact-check, editor, approval and schema, then pushes a draft to WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Sanity or any webhook. Nothing goes live without you.

    Promptwatch

    Content Agents: "Content Agent lets you configure each brief"; "every draft goes to a review inbox and nothing publishes without your approval."; Content Gap → brief → content schedule → publish to Webflow/Framer/WordPress; refresh via "git-diff style update suggestions" (https://promptwatch.com/features/content-agents, docs). Action Board prioritizes actions. AEO Articles: 5/mo Professional, 10/mo Business (pricing). Automation: Content Agents with "Settings: autonomy, publish windows, budget" (docs); Agent Chat + Scheduled Chats; "AI Chat in the Content Editor" (changelog 2026-10-07); MCP "Agent Skills" (docs/mcp/skills)..

    EdgeBoth run content agents with approval and CMS publishing. Promptwatch caps AEO articles at five to ten a month; Mentionova meters agentic tasks. Even.

  4. 04

    Reddit

    Choose based on: Whether Reddit threads shape the answers in your category, and whether you want replies drafted or only citations counted.

    Mentionova

    Reddit is a tracked engine on Scale and above: the threads where your category is discussed, the citations that reach AI answers, and reply drafts in your voice. A person adds the disclosure and posts; the agent never posts for you.

    Promptwatch

    Promptwatch tracks Reddit: yes. Reply drafting isn't published.

    EdgeBoth track Reddit citations. Mentionova drafts replies. Mentionova.

  5. 05

    Agencies and reporting

    Choose based on: How many clients you run, and whether the report has to carry your brand without a BI tool in between.

    Mentionova

    Isolated client workspaces (3 on Launch, 10 on Growth, custom on Enterprise) with a portfolio view across them. Reports share by link with a view count and a revoke switch; white-label covers logo, colour, tagline and footer. Agency plans start at $200 a month.

    Promptwatch

    "unlimited client projects under one account"; "Each client can run as its own project" (solutions/agencies); "unlimited pitch projects"; "read-only project API key scoped to that single client" (docs/academy/geo-and-visibility-for-agencies.md); Audit Log org-level (changelog 2026-09-30).. Reporting: "Whitelabel dashboard"; "Clients can be given branded, read-only access to their own reporting" (promptwatch.com/solutions/agencies). Docs: scheduled weekly PDF reports; "there are no public share links for reports"; CSV exports; Looker/Data Studio connector; "Scheduled PDF Reports for Custom Dashboards" (changelog 2026-10-02)..

    EdgePromptwatch has a white-label dashboard and unlimited client projects but no public share links. Mentionova has tokenised share links with view counts and revoke. Mentionova, narrowly.

  6. 06

    Integrations, API and MCP

    Choose based on: Which of your systems need to connect without engineering, and whether your own agents will read and write the data.

    Mentionova

    38 API connectors, among them Ahrefs, DataForSEO, Semrush, Moz, HubSpot, Contentful and Ghost, plus Search Console and GA4. The v1 API is on Scale and above. The MCP server exposes 56 tools to any MCP client, so your own agents can create prompts, read runs and pull reports.

    Promptwatch

    Promptwatch lists 26 integrations: Cloudflare, AWS CloudFront, Fastly, Vercel, Netlify, Akamai, Google Cloud CDN, Custom HTTP logs, Webflow, Framer, WordPress, Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, Looker Studio, Google News, YouTube, Reddit, DataForSEO, Firecrawl, Slack, ChatGPT Plugin, Claude Connector, Cursor, Lovable, MCP, REST API. API: included. MCP: included.

    EdgePromptwatch publishes 27 integrations including eight log sources and Looker; Mentionova 38 connectors plus Search Console and GA4. Even.

  7. 07

    Site audit and technical

    Choose based on: Whether technical and AEO checks belong in the same tool as the briefs, and whether you need crawler logs rather than page checks.

    Mentionova

    A 42-check audit: crawlability, on-page and duplicates, structured data, Core Web Vitals via PageSpeed Insights, mobile and security, internal links, hreflang, and four AEO checks for llms.txt, question H2s, entity schema and FAQ schema. AI traffic shows up as page attribution; Mentionova doesn't ingest crawler logs.

    Promptwatch

    Site audit: included. Crawler log analytics: included. Security: not published.

    EdgePromptwatch's site health covers titles, headings, thin content and speed. Mentionova's 42 checks add structured data, hreflang and AEO checks. Mentionova.

07 · Switching

From Promptwatch to a baseline, in an afternoon.

About twenty minutes of your time, then thirty days of both tools running side by side. Nothing here touches your site.

  1. Step 12 min

    Start the trial

    No pixel, tag or code. Sign up, name the workspace, pick the engines. The first growth signal lands in about two minutes.

  2. Step 210 min

    Bring your prompts

    Export the prompt list from Promptwatch and add it to the workspace; the API and the MCP server create prompts in bulk from a list. The first run sets your baseline on every engine the plan covers.

  3. Step 310 min

    Connect the systems

    Search Console, GA4 and your CMS, whether WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Sanity or a webhook, so briefs turn into drafts where your team already works.

  4. Step 40 min

    Run both for thirty days

    Keep Promptwatch running. Compare the two on the questions above with your own data, then decide. Cancel either in a click.

What won't transfer

Promptwatch's run history and dashboards stay in Promptwatch; export them before you cancel anything. Prompts, competitor lists and brand-voice notes move in minutes. Mentionova starts its own history from the first run, so the sooner the trial starts, the longer the overlap you get to judge on.

08 · FAQ

Mentionova vs Promptwatch, asked.

Promptwatch's entry plan is Essential at $95/mo, which buys 500 agent credits; 1 project; 4 models tracked; 50 prompts; 6,000 responses; API and MCP; 1 seat. Mentionova's Starter is $99 a month billed annually ($125 monthly) for 25 prompts on three engines with 100 agentic tasks, and Scale is $320 for 100 prompts on all six. Compare what each plan includes, not the headline number.

Thirteen are available, including Claude Code and Codex, but the pricing page caps every plan at four models tracked. Mentionova's Starter tracks three engines and Scale all six.

Its docs say there are no public share links for reports; sharing is by scheduled PDF, CSV or a branded read-only client login. Mentionova shares reports by tokenised link with a view count and revoke.

Yes. Export your prompt list, add the prompts to a Mentionova workspace (the API and the MCP server can create them in bulk from a list), and the first run gives you a baseline on every engine your plan covers. Your Promptwatch history stays in your Promptwatch exports.

Yes. Mentionova needs no pixel, tag or code, so the 14-day trial runs next to Promptwatch without touching your site. Most teams compare a month of both before deciding.

Promptwatch: "The default, and what every standard plan uses, is daily." Weekly/monthly custom cadences for enabled orgs; collection "in batches through the day" (promptwatch.com/docs/academy/data-freshness.md). Mentionova runs each workspace weekly, every two weeks or monthly, recomputes opportunities nightly and logs drift events between runs.

Every Promptwatch fact comes from Promptwatch's own pricing page, docs or changelog, fetched on 10 Oct 2026, and the claims that matter most link to the page they came from. Mentionova facts describe the product as shipped on the same date. If something has changed, email team@mentionova.com and we'll correct it.
