Peec AI Brand Mentions in ChatGPT and Claude Tracking

Peec AI brand mentions in ChatGPT and Claude tracking is a SKU trap, not a product question. Peec AI Starter is $95/mo and includes three models. ChatGPT is usually one of them. Claude is not. Claude sits on Enterprise. Extra models cost $35 to $165. Grok is not offered at all. Daily scores and screenshot evidence are real on the Peec product you buy. The Claude half of this query is not on Starter.

That last sentence is the one committees miss. Someone writes "ChatGPT and Claude" on a slide, sees $95, and assumes both engines are in the box. They are not. You get a ChatGPT-capable three-model seat. You do not get Claude until someone has priced Enterprise.

Promptwatch Essential is also $95/mo and includes ChatGPT and Claude without that gate. Explore is free and ChatGPT-only. Site: promptwatch.com. Same sticker as Peec Starter, different engine list.

The trap is structural, not accidental. A slide that names two engines next to a $95 price reads as a complete seat, because the price and the engine list sit on the same page and the eye does not separate them. The Peec Starter card covers three models, and ChatGPT is usually one of them, but Claude is on Enterprise and Grok is not offered at all. So the $95 sticker buys a ChatGPT-capable seat, not a ChatGPT-plus-Claude seat. The committee that wrote "ChatGPT and Claude" on the slide has priced the first half and assumed the second. Promptwatch Essential at the same $95 includes both, which is why the comparison is not about price but about what the price contains.

What Peec is good at

Peec is a prompt-level visibility tool. It stores sources and competitor share. Seats are unlimited. There is no historical backfill, so you start from the day you turn it on. It is monitoring only. It will not tell you what to write and it will not attribute referrals. Agency plans start from $245/mo. It is 4.9 on G2.

Those strengths are why agencies keep it. Unlimited seats matter when five people need the same dashboard. Screenshots matter when a client asks "prove it." Daily scores matter when you want a number you can put in a weekly email. None of that changes the Claude gate.

Buy Peec when the committee wants screenshots and has already priced Claude on Enterprise. Do not buy Starter as a ChatGPT-plus-Claude tool. If the buying question named both engines, Starter fails the question.

The strengths are real and they explain why Peec stays on agency shortlists even when the Claude gate is known. Unlimited seats matter when five people need the same dashboard, because per-seat pricing would dominate the bill. Screenshots matter when a client asks "prove it," because a screenshot of the cell is a different artifact than a number on a chart. Daily scores matter when you want a number you can put in a weekly email without explaining the methodology. None of those strengths changes the Claude gate, which is why the buying rule is conditional: buy Peec when the committee wants screenshots and has already priced Claude on Enterprise, and do not buy Starter as a ChatGPT-plus-Claude tool.

Otterly.AI also meters Claude. Profound Starter is ChatGPT-only. The pattern is the same across this price band: the cheap card covers ChatGPT; Claude is the upsell. Peec is not unique for hiding Claude. It is unique for looking complete at $95 while still hiding it.

Promptwatch as the mention log

Promptwatch paid plans treat ChatGPT and Claude as part of the same log. Essential includes citation analytics and visitor analytics, but it does not include crawler logs. Agent Analytics starts on Professional at $245/mo and logs ChatGPTBot and ClaudeBot. Agency Kick-off is $199/mo with its own crawler-log allowance. Method: how we rank. Tools list.

The useful split is mention vs citation. A model can name you and cite someone else. A model can cite your URL and never say the brand string. Peec's screenshot trail is still the Peec reason to stay. Promptwatch's $95 card includes Claude, citations, and visitor analytics. Choose Professional if the comparison also requires crawler logs.

Explore stays ChatGPT-only, so do not treat the free tier as a Claude program either. Essential is the first plan that matches this query.

The mention-versus-citation split is the one that changes how you read the data. A model can name your brand and cite someone else's URL, which is a mention win and a citation loss on the same answer. A model can cite your URL and never say the brand string, which is a citation win that a mention tracker would miss. Peec's screenshot trail is the Peec reason to stay, because the screenshot is the artifact that settles a "prove it" question. Promptwatch's $95 card includes Claude, citations, and visitor analytics, which is the broader log. Crawler logs are not on Essential; they start on Professional at $245, which is the tier to compare against if the question also requires bot-hit evidence.

FAQ

Can Starter track Claude?

No. Enterprise.

Why pay $95 for Promptwatch if Peec is also $95?

Same sticker. Essential includes Claude, citations, and visitor analytics. Crawler logs are not included at $95; Professional is the first brand plan with them. Peec's screenshot trail is the Peec reason to stay. If the committee will not accept a mention without a screenshot of the cell, keep Peec and price Enterprise. If the committee also needs bot-hit evidence, compare Peec with Promptwatch Professional rather than Essential.

What to do this week

If you need Claude, skip Peec Starter. Write that on the invoice review before anyone renews.
Load 20 prompts into Promptwatch Essential with both engines on. Use buyer language, not homepage slogans.
Price Peec Enterprise only if screenshots are a committee requirement. Get the Claude line in writing.
Split mention vs citation on the first report. Do not blend "named" and "linked."
Check both bots in robots.txt. A mention program that blocks ChatGPTBot or ClaudeBot is measuring a wall.

If you already pay Peec and Claude is empty, you are not "waiting on a feature." You are on the wrong SKU for this query. Either move Claude to Enterprise or run the Claude column somewhere else. We would run it in Promptwatch and keep Peec only if the screenshot trail is still doing political work.
