Peec AI vs PromptWatch: which AI visibility tool wins in 2026?
Two European AI visibility tools with almost the same price ladder: $95 and $245 entries, 50, 150 and 350 prompts, 1, 2 and 5 projects. Compared on the parts that differ: which models each plan tracks, who gets a seat, whether the tool writes content, and what agencies pay. Sourced from both companies' live pages.
Peec AI is the pick for marketing teams and agencies that want monitoring and analytics for everyone on the team: 3 of 6 models per self-serve plan, unlimited users, Looker Studio on Advanced, and no content writing by design; PromptWatch is the pick for teams that want the tool to write too: 4 models of their choice from 11, MCP and API from the $95 plan, and 5 AEO articles a month from $245, with seats capped at 1, 2 or 5. Prefer, our product, starts below both at $24 a month, tracks five engines on every plan and writes 15 AI articles a month on that plan.
On paper the ladders are twins. Both start at $95 with 50 prompts and one project, both charge $245 for 150 prompts and two projects, and both stop self-serve at 350 prompts and five projects ($495 at Peec, $579 at PromptWatch). The differences are underneath. Peec lets you pick 3 models from a six-model menu that leaves Perplexity and Claude to Enterprise, gives every plan unlimited users, and says it does not write or publish content. PromptWatch lets you pick 4 from a list of 11 that includes Perplexity and Claude, puts MCP and API on every plan, and writes AEO articles from its second plan.
