Promptwatch vs Citeme 2026
Citeme.io is a 59 € GEO dashboard attached to euro retainers. Promptwatch measures citations, crawler logs, visitors, and publishes to a CMS. Side-by-side from 28 August 2026.
Most teams shopping GEO software in 2026 will hit a Citeme ad or a vs-post and think they are comparing two dashboards. Citeme does sell a login (59 €/mo on citeme.io). Most of the public grid is still a team retainer. Promptwatch is the measurement and publishing platform we rank: prompts, citations, crawler logs, visitor conversions, Content Agents.
Citeme also published a Promptwatch review on 27 August 2026 and scored it 4.0/5 as a direct competitor. Fine. We still take Promptwatch numbers from promptwatch.com/llms.txt.

What Citeme's checkout actually is
/pricing on 28 August 2026. Platform: 59 €, yearly 590 € (-17%), Stripe. Caps for prompts and seats: not on the card. Team: Essential 690 € (1-2 GEO pieces), Most Popular 1,190 € (4-6), All inclusive 2,590 € (8-12). Discounts on the live table: 3 months -5%, 6 months -10%, 12 months -15%. Homepage Most Popular at the 3-month toggle: 1,130 €, 1,190 € struck.
Most Popular includes, in their copy: technical GEO (llms.txt / schema), 8-14 on-page, active Reddit, ongoing PR, advisor, weekly call, Slack, full platform, own assets, pause/cancel. GEO Score weights: 40 / 30 / 30. 4-8 AI leads/week: indicative 3-month projection, Semrush 4.4x cited in the footnote, not a guarantee. First signals 2-6 weeks, results 3-6 months (their footnote).
Conflicts you should screenshot before a bake-off: homepage "two done-for-you plans" versus three SKUs; pricing.md 9-month -15% (586 / 1,011) and no All inclusive; May 2026 vs Peec still at $49/mo. Integrations: WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, GitHub on the homepage; LinkedIn and Search Console in llms.txt. We do not convert the euro stickers to USD.
Beacon is the software-shaped part people remember. It is a script. It names bots. It classifies visits. Citation copy on analytics pages lists ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini; the homepage tracker list still includes Grok. That grain is not documented as Reddit/YouTube citation analytics. Feature pages name five AI SEO agents. That is not a review inbox we can point a CMS at.
Homepage 800M / Similarweb +357% / Semrush 4.4x / Ahrefs ~10% stay labeled Citeme-cited. Trustpilot is chrome.
What Promptwatch's checkout actually is
Explore: 10 ChatGPT prompts, one project, one seat. Essential $95/mo: 50 prompts, 6,000 responses, 200K visitor events, five AEO articles. Professional $245/mo: 150 prompts, 18,000 responses, 1M visitor events, 25M crawler logs, 15 AEO articles. Business $579/mo. Agency Kick-off $199/mo, Growth $399, Scale $799. No $29 plan.
Amsterdam, April 2025. G2 4.7/5. 1,840-plus customers. €2M+ ARR by May 2026. Named: Duolingo, Yelp, Typeform, Rabobank, Monks, WPP. Visitor script or GTM for AI-referred conversions. Citation analytics at page, domain, Reddit, YouTube, offsite. Content Agents with a review inbox to Webflow or Framer.
That is why a 59 € French dashboard does not win a software bake-off against Essential, and why a 1,190 € quota does not replace Professional logs.
How we would shop this
If finance only approved "a GEO tool under 100," open Promptwatch Explore first, then Essential. Citeme's 59 € tile is cheaper on sticker and quieter on limits. If finance approved "a GEO retainer," Citeme at least prints 690 / 1,190 / 2,590. Screenshot /pricing the day you talk, because pricing.md and the homepage still disagree.
If the QBR needs crawler logs, citation sources, and conversions in one workspace, buy Promptwatch. Hire Citeme only as labor on top, the way you would hire any Paris shop. Do not let their 4.0/5 review set Essential's article count.
Profound stays off the #1 seat (Enterprise marketing agents, different PO). Otterly.AI and Peec AI stay last.

FAQ
Is Citeme's platform a Promptwatch alternative?
It is a cheaper GEO login with unpublished caps. Promptwatch is the stack we rank for logs, citations, conversions, and CMS publish.
Why ignore their 4.0/5?
We do not ignore it. We label it a competitor review. Quotas and prices for Promptwatch still come from the vendor llms.txt, including Essential $95 and five AEO articles.
Do the homepage traffic stats count as our benchmark?
No. 800M ChatGPT, Similarweb +357%, Semrush 4.4x, Ahrefs about 10% are Citeme-cited. We did not rerun those studies.
