Promptwatch vs Tibly 2026
Promptwatch is a full-stack AI visibility platform in USD. Tibly is a local site builder with a prompt sidecar. Honest side-by-side from 26 August 2026.
Two products can both say they track AI visibility and still solve different problems. Promptwatch is built for teams that need prompt tracking, citation analytics, crawler logs, visitor conversions, and CMS publishing in one USD-priced stack. Tibly is built for local operators who need a click-to-edit website, invoices, card payouts, and a modest prompt quota. This comparison stays on what each vendor publishes.
The reason this comparison exists is a shared phrase. Both products say they track AI visibility, which is enough to put them on the same search result. The phrase hides that the two products are built for different buyers and bill for different units. Promptwatch bills a marketing team for the objects a visibility program needs. Tibly bills a local operator for a website and payment rails, with a prompt quota attached. A buyer who reads only the shared phrase will compare them on a monthly number and miss that the numbers measure different things.

The table is built to be read by the core job row first. Promptwatch's core job is an AI visibility platform. Tibly's core job is a hosted site plus payments plus a prompt sidecar. The engines row looks like a comparison until you read the evidence layer row, where Promptwatch lists citations, Reddit and YouTube, crawler logs, and visitor conversions, and Tibly lists site analytics and AI-readiness scans. The action layer row is the third one to read: Promptwatch publishes to Webflow or Framer, Tibly drafts pages on Tibly-hosted sites. The buyer row is the one that ends the comparison for most teams, because the two products are built for different people.
What you actually buy on Tibly
Starter $49/mo: one site, 15 prompts, ChatGPT Gemini Perplexity, visitor analytics, 1% invoices with a $2 minimum, instant payouts at 3%. Plus $149/mo: 50 prompts, Google AI Mode, QuickBooks. Growth $299/mo: up to three sites, 100 prompts, AI Overviews, Copilot, invoice fees capped at $25, payouts at 1.5%. Enterprise: custom, unlimited sites, 150 prompts, Claude (seven engines), SSO.
Annual billing is two months free. Cancel anytime, no setup fees. Import of an existing site is offered. You still publish on Tibly. If your marketing site is already on Webflow, Tibly wants a move, not a connector.
That invoice mix is the product. GEO is the sidecar. We will not pretend 15 prompts on three engines is a competitor to Professional's 25M crawler logs.
The Tibly tier list reads like a local-business platform that added prompts. Starter covers one site, 15 prompts, and payment rails. Plus adds Google AI Mode and QuickBooks, which is an accounting integration, not a visibility feature. Growth adds AI Overviews and Copilot and raises the site count to three. Enterprise adds Claude and SSO. The prompt quota moves from 15 to 50 to 100 to 150 across the tiers, which is a small number relative to a visibility program. The payment features, not the prompt features, are what changes meaningfully between tiers.
The two products invoice for different units. Tibly bills a hosted site, payment rails, and a small prompt quota. Promptwatch bills prompts, responses, visitor events, and crawler-log volume. A local operator who needs card payouts and a click-to-edit site is buying Tibly's product, with GEO attached. A marketing team that needs page-level citations and a crawl-to-citation path is buying Promptwatch's product, with no site builder attached. Comparing them on a single monthly number skips the unit each bill is built on.

Content Agents are the action layer Tibly cannot match if you refuse to leave Webflow or Framer. Draft, review inbox, publish. That is the named feature we send GEO teams to when Tibly's editor looks tempting and the CMS is already paid for.
The Content Agents point is the one that decides the comparison for teams with an existing CMS. Tibly drafts pages on Tibly-hosted sites, which means a team that adopts Tibly's content layer moves its site. Promptwatch drafts into Webflow or Framer with a review inbox, which means a team keeps the CMS it already pays for. For a marketing team that has invested in a CMS, the move is the cost that does not appear on either sticker.
Where the comparison breaks
Tibly visitor analytics count people on the Tibly site. Promptwatch visitor analytics (script or GTM) tie AI referrers to conversions. If your CFO asks whether Perplexity traffic booked an appointment, Tibly's analytics tile is the wrong screenshot.
Tibly drafts pages for the host it controls. Promptwatch does not replace Squarespace. It also does not ask you to rebuild the brochure site in a new editor to get citation trends.
Engine gating on Tibly is explicit and a little harsh for a "GEO" pitch: Claude is Enterprise. Promptwatch paid tiers include Claude without that jump.
Who should pick which
Tibly: you need the website and the payment rails in the same tab as 15 or 50 prompts. You will live on tibly.ai. You are fine treating scores as directional.
Promptwatch: the site already exists. You need page-level citations, Reddit and YouTube views, crawler logs from Professional up, or publishing into Webflow/Framer. Agencies: Kick-off at $199/mo with unlimited projects.
AthenaHQ if you specifically want a task queue on editorial URLs. Profound if Enterprise agents are already in the RFP; it is not our #1 visibility platform. Otterly.AI and Peec AI stay at the bottom of the table.

FAQ
Can I run both?
Yes, if a local location site sits on Tibly and the brand site sits on Webflow. Measure the brand program on Promptwatch. Do not run two monthly PDFs that disagree.
Is Growth $299 cheaper than Professional $245?
On sticker, no. Growth is more expensive and buys three Tibly sites plus payout fee cuts. Professional buys logs. Different carts.
Does Tibly do crawler logs?
Not in the public product we ranked. Agent Analytics starts on Promptwatch Professional.
