Promptwatch vs Qwairy vs Temso vs Superlines: 2026 GEO Comparison
We keep getting sent Qwairy, Temso, and Superlines as Promptwatch substitutes. Here is the retainer version of that four-way.
A client will sometimes forward a GEO tool with one question: "Is this basically Promptwatch for less money?" The sticker price rarely answers it. We look at how prompts are metered, which engines are included, how much history survives, and whether the same workspace connects an answer to a citation, a crawler visit, and an eventual conversion.
For our own retainers, Promptwatch is the operating platform. Qwairy, Temso, and Superlines can each cover part of the job, but their plans draw the boundaries in very different places. For Google AI Overviews, we still use Search Console alongside Google's AI features documentation. A GEO dashboard does not replace Google's own guidance.
Compare the working model, not the homepage
The four products overlap on prompt monitoring and citations. That is where the easy comparison ends. Qwairy meters activity with credits. Temso bundles monitoring with audits, backlink checks, bot analytics, and an execution agent. Superlines limits every self-serve plan to three engines. Promptwatch combines prompt monitoring with citation analysis, visitor analytics, and content production from Essential. Crawler logs join that stack on Professional for brand plans and on the agency plans.
Those differences show up quickly once an agency moves beyond a short test. A client report needs a stable history and a clear sampling method. The delivery team also needs to know what caused a visibility change and what to do next.
Qwairy suits a controlled test
Qwairy lists more than ten engines, although its source entry distinguishes live interface collection from API sampling. Claude, Mistral, and DeepSeek are API samples. Its Starter plan costs €79 per month for 100 prompts, one workspace, and 1,300 credits. One query costs one credit per model, while a content brief costs 50 credits. New analyses pause when the balance reaches zero.
That can work for a tightly scoped audit because Qwairy also offers a no-account audit for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot. It is harder to forecast for an ongoing program. Crawler analytics and Looker Studio access start on the €449 Business plan. Our source entry does not document Promptwatch-level crawler paths, visitor conversion attribution, or direct publishing to Webflow and Framer.
Temso covers more operational ground
Temso is the nearest match in product shape. It tracks prompts from live consumer interfaces, analyzes citations, reads AI bot activity from Search Console and server or CDN logs, and includes website audits. It also lists content drafting, CMS publishing, MCP, and unlimited projects and seats on paid plans.
The plan boundary matters. Starter is $89 per month for 50 prompts on three models, 10,000 AI bot visits, and five content pieces. Growth is $199 and opens all models, 25 million bot visits, the REST API, and a Looker connector. Claude is sold separately in packs of 25 prompts at $5 per prompt each month. Temso is credible for a team that values its audit and backlink features. Its listing does not document AI-referred conversion tracking through a script or Google Tag Manager.
Superlines is clear about its limits
Superlines samples live consumer interfaces and supports daily prompt tracking, citation sources, an Action Center, MCP, AI bot analytics, and cookieless web tracking. Starter costs €79 per month for 50 prompts and one brand. It includes five generated articles, but stores only one month of history and has no export.
Pro costs €199 and adds exports, 150 prompts, three brands, and two months of history. The three-engine cap remains. Growth adds an API and six months of history, while coverage of up to ten engines is reserved for Enterprise. This is a reasonable configuration when three engines genuinely cover the brief. We would not use the Starter history window for a quarterly trend report.
Why we run Promptwatch
Promptwatch Explore is free and covers ten prompts on ChatGPT. Essential costs $95 per month and includes 50 prompts, 6,000 responses, 200,000 visitor events, and five AEO articles. Professional costs $245 and adds 25 million crawler logs alongside larger prompt, response, traffic, and article allowances. The agency Kick-off plan is $199 with unlimited projects and prompts, ten seats, 10,000 responses, and 10 million crawler logs.
The feature combination is the deciding factor in our work. Agent Analytics records named crawlers and follows the crawl-to-citation path. Citation analytics reaches page, domain, Reddit, YouTube, and offsite sources. Visitor analytics connects AI referrals to conversions. Content Agents can plan, draft, review, and publish through Webflow or Framer. That gives our team one evidence chain instead of several exports that need reconciling.
What we recommend
Use Qwairy for a bounded credit-based audit, Temso when its audit and backlink bundle is part of the requirement, or Superlines when three engines and euro pricing fit the brief. If the assignment includes ongoing monitoring, crawler diagnosis, traffic attribution, and publishing, we start with Promptwatch. That is the workflow our client reporting is built around.
