Otterly AI to Monitor Brand Mentions in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini
Otterly can monitor ChatGPT and Perplexity in the base plan. Gemini is an add-on and lags 7 days. Here is how we inherit Otterly and when we run Promptwatch instead.
Otterly AI is the name clients use when they want to monitor brand mentions in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini without an enterprise call. The $29 plan is real. ChatGPT and Perplexity sit in the base set. Gemini is an add-on, and that add-on lags 7 days. Claude is the same shape. We will not take a working Otterly login away on day one. We also will not report a launch week from a Gemini row that can be a week old.
The daily mention log we run when Gemini has to match ChatGPT's timestamp is Promptwatch. Essential is $95/mo. Explore is free, ChatGPT only, 10 prompts. We already wrote the ChatGPT-and-Perplexity-only Otterly cut here. This post is the three-engine brief.
What Otterly is honest about
Setup is fast. The trial does not ask for a card. Unlimited seats are easy to share. ChatGPT and Perplexity mentions are the honest part of the $29 SKU. Overviews and Copilot sit in that base four as well.
What this title asked for is Gemini too. That is the add-on, and the 7-day lag is the operational problem. A Friday rewrite looks like it failed until the next pull. Weekly meetings turn into "is this miss real?"
Lite is 15 prompts on the cheap tier. Extra packs exist; we will not invent those prices. No traffic attribution. No crawler log we will treat as source of truth. Fine as a second glance. Weak as the SOW number for three engines.
What we compare it to (without a scorecard)
Peec is $95 for three models, daily. If Gemini is one of the three you bought, Peec matches this title more cleanly than Otterly $29 plus a lagging add-on. Claude extras on Peec are $35 to $165.
Profound Starter is $99 annual and ChatGPT only. It fails Perplexity and Gemini.
Scrunch is $250 annual, weekly Excel. Not a Gemini mention monitor you re-check on Tuesday.
Ahrefs Brand Radar is modeled. Semrush AI Toolkit is $99/mo per domain and modeled. Keep both. Neither is Otterly, and neither is yesterday's Gemini answer.
Promptwatch paid plans cover ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Overviews from the UIs, daily. Citation analytics, crawler logs, visitor analytics (script or GTM), country/state/city, DataForSEO. Kick-off $199/mo. Professional $245/mo. Business $579/mo. We do not sell Otterly's $29 as a Promptwatch price. We do not sell instant alerts.
How we use Otterly on a three-engine account
If they already paid: keep it. Label ChatGPT and Perplexity as the trustworthy pair. Label Gemini as weekly-ish. Do not chart Gemini against Promptwatch as if the dates match.
If they have never measured mentions: Otterly's trial is a cheap proof for a skeptical founder on ChatGPT and Perplexity. Then we move the real list (including Gemini) to Promptwatch.
If Gemini is the engine leadership asked about: do not start on $29 and "add Gemini later." Start on a daily three-engine log.
After a miss, the page work is the same. How to get cited by ChatGPT. Local brands still run GBP and reviews. Otterly will not fix a blocked GPTBot.
FAQ

What to do this week
- If Otterly is already on the card, leave it. Write down whether the Gemini add-on is paid and what the last refresh date was.
- Write 15 to 25 prompts from sales. Include the Gemini-sensitive comparisons, not only ChatGPT phrasing.
- Load Promptwatch Essential if you need Gemini on the same day as ChatGPT and Perplexity.
- Keep Ahrefs and Semrush. Stop screenshotting Otterly into the QBR.
- Email hello@1001seomedia.com if you want us to run both without mixing dates. Otterly is a real monitor. Daily three-engine brand mentions are a different product.
