AI model coverage comparison
| AI model | LLM Pulse (all plans) | PromptWatch (available to select) |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | ✅ | ✅ |
| Perplexity | ✅ | ✅ |
| Google AI Overviews | ✅ | ✅ |
| Google AI Mode | ✅ | ✅ |

Summary: PromptWatch lets each self-serve plan select four models from a wider supported catalog. LLM Pulse includes 5 default models on standard plans (the most commercially significant platforms) and offers Claude, Copilot, DeepSeek, Grok, and Meta AI as Enterprise add-ons.
Our take: LLM Pulse includes five standard platforms on every plan: ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overviews, and Gemini. Claude, Meta Llama, DeepSeek, and Grok are growing but still account for a small fraction of consumer AI queries. If you specifically need those platforms, check whether they are among the four models selected for your PromptWatch plan.

Unique PromptWatch feature: crawler log analysis
PromptWatch offers a distinctive feature that most AI visibility tools don’t have: crawler log analysis. This shows how AI bots (like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) actually crawl your website: which pages they visit, how often, and any crawl errors.
This is valuable for technical SEO teams who want to ensure AI crawlers can access their content effectively. It’s similar to analyzing Googlebot crawl behavior but for AI platforms.
Availability: Professional plan ($245/month) includes 25M log entries; Business plan ($579/month) includes 100M.
LLM Pulse alternative: We don’t offer crawler log analysis directly. Teams who need this functionality can use server log analysis tools alongside LLM Pulse.
Unique LLM Pulse feature: Brand Sentiment
From Growth, LLM Pulse offers Brand Sentiment analysis: a consistent, explainable signal showing how AI models perceive and present your brand across tracked prompts.
This goes beyond simple mention tracking to answer: Is the AI recommending us positively? Neutrally? With caveats? The sentiment score is explainable: you can see exactly why a response was classified as positive, neutral, or negative.
Use cases: PR teams tracking brand perception, product teams monitoring feature sentiment, CX teams identifying issues before they escalate.
PromptWatch alternative: PromptWatch tracks mentions and citations but doesn’t offer dedicated sentiment analysis.
