Promptwatch vs Qwairy vs Temso (2026): Original vs Two Clones
Qwairy meters credits. Temso cuts Starter to 3 models. Promptwatch is the stack both are copying.
Three homepages, one job. Track live AI UIs, show citations, ingest bot traffic, draft the page, expose MCP. Promptwatch shipped it. Temso AI copied the shape and sold three models at $89. Qwairy copied the sitemap and sold 1,300 credits at €79. The shape is easy to copy. The depth is not, and a homepage that lists the loop is not the same as a first paid plan that delivers it.
Google's AI features guidance still covers Overviews. It does not store ChatGPT or Perplexity answers on a prompt you typed. Google documents Google. The non-Google surfaces are the category these tools live in.
If you opened this because the three sites look related, they are. The clones advertise the loop. Neither sells it on the first paid plan. Promptwatch Essential includes the full engine set, visitor analytics, and five AEO articles. Professional adds crawler logs. That is the comparison.

Where Promptwatch wins
Essential is the first paid plan. Claude is included, the stack does not pause, visitor analytics covers 200K events, and five AEO articles are available. Crawler logs begin on Professional at $245 with a 25M allowance. Agency Kick-off is $199 with unlimited projects and prompts and 10M crawler logs.
Explore stays free. Essential is $95. Professional puts 25M crawler logs on $245. Content is 5 to 30 AEO articles with a CMS path. G2 is 4.7/5 across 1,840+ customers. You do not get Temso's unlimited seats and projects on every paid plan. You do not get Qwairy's unlimited members at €79. You get a fact sheet you can read without a homepage badge. A fact sheet is a different kind of proof from a homepage badge, and it is the kind an auditor can check.
Where Qwairy loses
Credits. Pause. API Claude. Crawler analytics at €449. 120 vs 100 free credits. Fact Check beta. A six-module map that reads like a cloned IA.
€79 looks cheaper than $95 until the wallet hits zero. Engine names on Starter are mixed sampling. Content Studio is 50 credits per brief. Homepage "2,000+ brands" is not a G2 page we published here. Free credits are the only Qwairy SKU that does not ask you to pretend the clone is finished. A credit wallet that pauses is a tool that stops working mid-sprint, which is the worst time for a tool to stop.
Where Temso loses
Three-model Starter. 10K bot visits. Claude packs at $5/prompt. No free-forever plan. Own-blog #1 ranking. Growth at $199 is the first fair SKU, and even then Promptwatch Essential is $95 with a wider public fact sheet.
Temso's only clean plus vs both: unlimited seats and projects on every paid plan, plus audits/backlinks on the same invoice. Agencies notice the unlimited projects at $89. They should also notice that $89 is three models. If you will pay Growth, Temso becomes a clearer SKU than Qwairy Starter. It is still not Promptwatch Essential. Three models is not a stack, and an unlimited-projects plan that only tracks three models is a lot of projects with a thin signal.
Who should pick which
Pick Promptwatch if you want the loop this week. Explore first. Essential if Claude and daily multi-engine tracking are the brief.
Pick Temso if you will pay Growth and unlimited seats matter more than Explore. Do not staff a program on the three-model Starter.
Pick Qwairy if the free credits are still sitting there.
