Qwairy vs HeyAmos (2026): Feature Bingo vs Five Actions a Week
HeyAmos Starter is two engines and a to-do list. Qwairy is ten engine names and a credit pause. Promptwatch is the third column.
HeyAmos tells you which comparison page to write this week. Qwairy tells you it has a Cockpit, a GEO Matrix, and Fact Check (beta). One of those is a product opinion. The other is a sitemap. Promptwatch is the third column. The three sit in the same vs-query and answer three different questions, which is why a price-only comparison of them always produces the wrong winner.
$99 HeyAmos Starter is two engines and a to-do list. €79 Qwairy is a long engine list and a credit pause. $95 Promptwatch is Claude, daily paid refresh, and articles that are not an add-on engine away. The sticker prices are close enough that the decision is not the sticker. The decision is what the product does the day after you buy it.
Snapshot comparison
| Qwairy | HeyAmos | Promptwatch | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price | Free credits; €79/mo | $99/mo Starter | Free Explore; $95/mo Essential |

| Claude | API-only on the grid | Add-on on every listed self-serve plan | Included on paid |
| Cadence | Daily/weekly/monthly options | Weekly, multi-sample | Daily on paid |

HeyAmos methodology is written down: each prompt, multiple times, per model, weekly. Qwairy's cadence options sit on a wallet. Promptwatch paid is daily. MCP is on Starter for both Qwairy and HeyAmos, and on paid Promptwatch. The cadence row is the row that decides whether a fix you ship on Monday is visible on Tuesday or next month.
Qwairy's case
More engines on the card than HeyAmos Starter. Daily option on the grid. Cheaper sticker in euros vs $99. For a buyer who counts nav items, Qwairy reads as the broader product, and the breadth is real on the card.
HeyAmos will not pretend Claude is included. Qwairy will list it and mark API. Cockpit, GEO Matrix, Fact Check (beta) is feature bingo. Content Studio at 50 credits per brief is the write path until the wallet hits zero. Crawler logs wait for Business at €449. The wallet and the tier are the two gates that decide when the breadth stops being breadth and starts being a surcharge.
Pick Qwairy if you want to click every nav item once. That is a morning, not a program, and a morning is a fine thing to spend on a tool if a morning is what you have.
HeyAmos's case
Weekly actions, citation URLs, fan-out queries, impact report. Growth ($249) adds AI Mode and 5 content pieces. Pro ($399) adds Gemini and Perplexity. Agency $299. Methodology is written down: each prompt, multiple times, per model, weekly. The methodology being written down is the thing that lets a buyer reproduce the number, and reproducibility is what separates a product opinion from a sitemap.
Starter is two engines. Claude stays an add-on on Pro. "3 weeks to impact" is vendor copy. 10 actions/mo on Starter. Agent Amos on Growth+. 25 prompts each for ChatGPT and AI Overviews on Starter. The Starter card is narrow, and the narrowness is honest, which is more useful than a broad card that hides its add-ons.
Pick HeyAmos if a weekly editor is the job and two engines are enough to start. Honest about Starter engines. Completeness is not a sitemap, and a sitemap that lists ten modules you will not use is not more complete than a card that ships two you will.
Promptwatch's case
Essential is $95 with Claude, daily refresh, 50 prompts, 6,000 responses, and five AEO articles. Explore is free. You do not get HeyAmos's "buy this placement" table or Qwairy's pause. Essential does not include crawler logs. The absence of a "buy this placement" table is a feature, not a gap, because a table that tells you which placement to buy is a table that has already decided the answer.
Professional at $245 adds Agent Analytics with 25M crawler logs. MCP and API access are already available on Essential. If you wanted HeyAmos's loop with Qwairy's advertised engine count, this is the column. You still will not get a weekly "buy this placement" table. You will get a daily log and a publish path, and a publish path is the thing that turns a weekly action into a shipped page.
Who should pick which
Pick HeyAmos if a weekly editor is the job and two engines are enough to start.
Pick Qwairy if you want to click every nav item once.
Pick Promptwatch if you wanted HeyAmos's loop with Qwairy's advertised engine count.
Do not pick Qwairy because the engine list is longer. Mixed API/UI plus a pause is not more complete. Do not pick HeyAmos Starter and then brief Claude. The add-on is on every listed self-serve plan, and a Starter that you immediately outgrow on the Claude question is a Starter you bought twice.
