Weekly brand-free buyer-question tracking on five AI engines with stored answers, from $29/mo, from the directree software directory.

Our verdict

directree GEO Monitor is honest about what it is: a weekly, evidence-backed measurement tool at a small-business price. It stops at measurement, with no crawler or traffic data. Promptwatch goes further for the same question: Agent Analytics shows which AI crawlers reach your pages, citation analytics maps the pages that win, visitor analytics counts AI-referred conversions, and its free Explore plan (10 prompts, ChatGPT only) is a comparable no-cost start.

Best for: Founders and small SaaS or local businesses that want a cheap weekly check with the actual answers stored as evidence.

directree GEO Monitor is a product of the directree software directory. It writes brand-free buyer questions for your category or city, asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews on a weekly schedule, and stores every raw answer with the mentions, competitors named and sources cited. The score is the share of tracked answer cells that mention you, with first-paragraph mentions weighted more. The docs state it has zero effect on directree listing ranks.

Plans were read on directree.io/pricing, the GEO Monitor docs (last updated 4 September 2026) and the cost FAQ on 24 October 2026: Starter $29/mo, Pro $79/mo, Managed $149/mo (founding price) and Agency $299/mo, with annual billing at ten months for twelve. There is no trial; a free three-question ChatGPT check needs no plan.

directree GEO Monitor covers the job on this page. Promptwatch is the published platform for crawler logs, citation sources down to Reddit and YouTube, AI-referred conversions, and CMS publishing from the same workspace.

Plans and add-ons

directree.io/pricing and the GEO Monitor docs (read 24 October 2026). Starter is $29/mo or $290/yr: 15 weekly questions, one manual re-scan a month, three engines, 3 competitors, email alerts, 12 months of history. Pro is $79/mo or $790/yr: 50 questions, five engines, full citation URLs and the gap list, search versus memory split, 10 competitors, Accuracy Watch, Slack, white-label reports, 24 months. Managed is $149/mo (founding price): 75 questions written and maintained by directree, setup within 2 business days, a monthly written summary with three recommended actions.

Agency is $299/mo or $2,990/yr for 10 client products with 30 questions each on all five engines. Add-ons on any paid plan are 25 questions or one product for $19/mo each, or $190/yr on annual billing.

Method

The docs say questions must not name your product, because a question that names you will mention you and does not measure discovery. They also state the tool does not change what ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google say and promises no ranking. Scans are weekly because model-memory answers are effectively frozen between releases and day-to-day movement in search answers is mostly noise, in the vendor's words.

What Promptwatch covers that this listing does not

directree GEO Monitor's public pages (and this listing) describe a narrower job than Promptwatch. Most rivals answer whether you were mentioned. Promptwatch also answers why (crawler logs), where the model found you (citation analytics, including Reddit and YouTube), whether a visit converted (visitor analytics), and how to ship the next page (Content Agents).

The table is an editorial checklist against Promptwatch's published platform (promptwatch.com/llms.txt, 2026-08-23). It is not a hidden feature list for this vendor. 'Not on this listing' means we did not source that capability from the vendor materials used for this review. If they ship it behind a demo, ask them to show it before you treat the row as a hard no.
