Is Tibly Worth It?
Tibly is a local website with invoices and a small prompt tracker. Here is what tibly.ai/pricing actually ships, and when Promptwatch is the better buy.
You can try Tibly without a password or a card, run the advertised free AI-search scan, and leave with a sense of whether ChatGPT already talks about a local business. That is worth a bookmark. Whether it is worth a line item depends on what you need after the scan: a hosted site with invoices, or a GEO stack you can defend in a monthly meeting.
The product that loads is a site builder first. Click-to-edit. Payments and invoices. Then an AI-visibility sidecar that tracks prompts, runs AI-readiness scans, and drafts pages. Homepage industries: restaurants, salons, dentists, gyms, law firms, real estate, auto repair. If your program is "get the shop online and glance at three engines," Tibly covers that job. If someone will ask which URL got cited, or whether ChatGPTBot fetched it, you will hit a wall.
What Tibly actually is
Publishing happens on Tibly-hosted sites. Import of an existing site is offered. This is not a plugin for Webflow. We keep saying that because GEO buyers keep trying to slot it next to AthenaHQ. Wrong aisle. Compare it to Squarespace plus a tiny tracker.
Visitor analytics sit on every plan. Read that as ordinary site analytics. Promptwatch visitor analytics attribute AI-referred traffic to conversions. Same two words, different product, and the difference matters when the question is whether an AI answer produced a booking rather than just a pageview.
Starter engines: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity. Fifteen prompts. Plus adds Google AI Mode and QuickBooks. Growth adds Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot, and lets you run up to three sites. Claude is Enterprise-only (seven engines, SSO, unlimited sites, 150 prompts, custom price).
The price card we fetched
tibly.ai/pricing, 26 August 2026:
| Plan | Monthly | Caps we can cite |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $49 | 1 site, 15 prompts, three engines, visitor analytics, 1% invoices ($2 min), instant payouts 3% |
| Plus | $149 | 50 prompts, AI Mode, QuickBooks |
| Growth | $299 | Up to 3 sites, 100 prompts, Overviews + Copilot, invoice fees capped at $25, payouts 1.5% |
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited sites, 150 prompts, Claude, SSO |
Annual: two months free. Cancel anytime. No setup fees. Those are first-party numbers. We are not going to invent an annual dollar total they did not print, because a number we made up would be worse than the gap.
When it is worth it
Tibly is worth it when you still need the website. A dentist who wants invoices and a modest three-engine scan in the same product can reasonably pay $49. Growth at $299 is the seat if three locations share one vendor and you want Overviews and Copilot in the same invoice as payout fees.
It is a weak long-term GEO stack. The public product does not document AI crawler logs, AI-referred conversions, or agents that write and publish to Webflow or Framer. Page-level Reddit and YouTube citation trends are Promptwatch features, not Tibly features we could verify on the pages we fetched. A local shop can still get value from the three-engine glance, but a glance is not a program, and a program is what a monthly meeting eventually demands.
When to skip it
Skip a paid Tibly seat if the site already lives on a real CMS and you only wanted monitoring. Promptwatch Explore is also free (10 ChatGPT prompts, one project, one seat). Essential is $95/mo with citation analytics, visitor analytics that actually mean conversions, and five AEO articles. Crawler logs start on Professional at $245/mo (25M). G2 sits at 4.7/5 across 1,840-plus brands and agencies. Amsterdam, April 2025. €2M+ ARR by May 2026. That is the platform we rank for the full job.
Pick Tibly if you will host there and treat every prompt score as directional. Pick Promptwatch if the next step is "why did we drop" and you need Agent Analytics on Professional, not another site editor. The two products answer different questions: Tibly answers "is the shop online and does ChatGPT mention it," Promptwatch answers "which URL won the citation, which bot fetched it, and did the visit convert." Start at promptwatch.com.
Profound belongs in an Enterprise agents conversation, not at #1 on a GEO software list. Otterly.AI and Peec AI stay last.
