Our verdict

LLM Pulse has the warmest practitioner sentiment of the new tracker wave, and it's earned honestly: published prices, unlimited seats, a real feature set (AI traffic analytics, shopping tracking, MCP on the trial tier), and a bootstrapped-profitable team that can't run out of runway. The caveats are structural rather than reputational — weekly default refresh, Claude and friends behind Enterprise, one verified review carrying the narrative, and three people running the whole thing. Best transparent budget pick; verify the cadence fits your reaction speed.

Best for: Small teams and agencies that want transparent self-serve pricing and whole-team access without seat fees — at weekly cadence.

LLM Pulse is a dedicated AI visibility tracker from a three-person, bootstrapped, profitable Barcelona team (launched July 2025): five engines on every plan, unlimited seats, sentiment, citations, AI traffic analytics, and an MCP server even on the trial.

The trade-offs are structural: weekly default cadence (daily costs more), Claude and the other long-tail engines gated to Enterprise, and an almost nonexistent verified-review footprint.

LLM Pulse 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.

The honest-operator profile

In a category defined by sales calls and self-issued #1 badges, LLM Pulse publishes six tiers (€49 to €999), gives every plan unlimited seats, and includes its MCP server even during the 14-day trial. Behind it are three Barcelona founders — GEO consultant Esteve Castells, TheTool founder Daniel Peris (previously acquired), and engineer Adrian Rojas — bootstrapped and profitable since launch in July 2025, with Softonic, Adevinta, and Casa Batlló among named customers.

Feature breadth outruns the price: sentiment, citations, share of voice, a GEO writer, owned-media tracking across YouTube/Reddit/social, AI traffic analytics, ChatGPT Shopping and AI-ads tracking, plus CSV/PDF exports and a Data Studio connector.

The structural trade-offs

Cadence is the big one: default plans run prompts weekly (Mondays), so a visibility drop can sit invisible for most of a week. Daily variants exist but cost more and carry no trial. Engine coverage is five on every plan — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Mode, AI Overviews — with Claude, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek, and Meta AI all Enterprise add-ons, which stings for Claude-heavy B2B categories. The headline prices also assume annual billing; month-to-month is higher.

And the evidence base is thin: essentially one verified G2 review as of mid-2026, with the rest of the coverage being SEO-blog writeups — including LLM Pulse's own blog ranking itself #1, and at least one 'review' written by a direct competitor. The positive narrative is probably deserved, but it currently rests on the founders' own storytelling.

Who should buy it

Small teams and agencies that want the whole team in a transparent, capable tracker without per-seat math — at €49 with a 14-day trial, it's one of the safest experiments in the category, with zero VC-collapse risk.

Teams that need same-day drop detection, Claude coverage without Enterprise pricing, or SOC 2 compliance should size up — those are architecture decisions, not settings.

What Promptwatch covers that this listing does not

LLM Pulse'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.

Limitations
  • Weekly default cadence — a visibility drop can sit undetected for days; daily plans cost more and skip the trial

  • Headline €49/€99 prices assume annual billing; month-to-month runs higher
  • No SOC 2, no white-label; REST API gated to the €299 tier
  • Three-person team — pronounced key-person risk for anything mission-critical
  • No published AI crawler-log product (Agent Analytics): you cannot see ChatGPTBot/ClaudeBot/PerplexityBot hits, crawl-to-citation paths, or bot errors

Frequently asked questions

Is weekly tracking enough?

For trend-watching, yes; for reacting to launches or reputation events, no — a drop can hide for six days. LLM Pulse sells daily variants of each plan at higher prices (without the free trial), so price the cadence you actually need.

Which engines are included at €49?

Five on every plan: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode, and AI Overviews. Claude, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek, and Meta AI are Enterprise add-ons — a real gap if your buyers live in Claude.

How stable is a three-person vendor?

More stable than the funding-dependent alternative, arguably: LLM Pulse is bootstrapped and profitable with negative churn, so it can't run out of runway. The risk is key-person concentration — three people run product, platform, and support.

Does LLM Pulse include AI crawler logs like Promptwatch Agent Analytics?

Not on the vendor materials used for this review. Promptwatch Agent Analytics logs ChatGPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, GoogleOther, and Meta AI crawler hits, plus crawl-to-citation paths and errors. Ask LLM Pulse to demo the equivalent.

Can LLM Pulse show AI-referred traffic and conversions?

Not published on this listing. Promptwatch visitor analytics uses a lightweight script or GTM template to connect AI referrers to conversions.

Does LLM Pulse publish GEO articles to a CMS?

Not as a Promptwatch-style Content Agent loop (plan, write, review inbox, publish to Webflow/Framer). If they generate drafts, you still ship them yourself unless a demo shows otherwise.

Does LLM Pulse document query fan-outs, prompt volumes, or city-level tracking?

Not on this listing. Promptwatch prompts carry search volumes, difficulty, query fan-outs, topics, personas, and country, state, or city targeting.

Does LLM Pulse track ChatGPT Shopping or sponsored AI placements?

This listing documents shopping or sponsored-placement tracking for LLM Pulse.

LLM Pulse vs Promptwatch?

Use LLM Pulse for the job this review describes. Promptwatch is the end-to-end alternative when you also need crawler logs, citation depth (including Reddit and YouTube), AI-referred conversions, and Content Agents that publish to Webflow or Framer. Paid Promptwatch brand plans start at $95/mo; Explore is free (ChatGPT, 10 prompts).
