Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions when comparing Promptwatch with Ahrefs Brand Radar and the wider Ahrefs suite.
Want a demo of Promptwatch? Book a demo
Ahrefs Brand Radar is a broad discovery layer: it lets you search a 400M+ corpus of search-backed prompts, benchmark competitors, and inspect mentions and citations beside Ahrefs' SEO data. Promptwatch is an end-to-end GEO workspace for recurring prompt monitoring, crawler and referral analytics, conversion attribution, prioritized action items, and content agents. Ahrefs covers several adjacent jobs too, but across Brand Radar, Web Analytics, Bot Analytics, AI Content Helper, Report Builder, and Agent A.
Yes, if backlink analysis, keyword research, rank tracking, or a mature technical SEO audit is the main job. Ahrefs' proprietary web index and products such as Site Explorer, Keywords Explorer, Content Explorer, and Site Audit are real strengths that Promptwatch does not try to replace. Promptwatch is the better fit when the main job is connecting AI answers to GEO actions, content, traffic, and conversions.
Ahrefs offers several purchase paths. Its monthly SEO plans list at $129 for Lite, $249 for Standard, $449 for Advanced, and $1,499 for Enterprise; those tiers include 150, 300, 600, and 2,500-plus custom-prompt checks. Standalone Custom Prompt packages cost $50 for 2,500 checks, $100 for 7,000, or $250 for 25,000. A single organic AI index costs $199 per month, while All Platforms costs $699 and includes 2,500 custom checks. Brand Radar can be bought standalone with an Ahrefs Free account. Content add-ons, Agent A, and higher Report Builder limits start around $99 per month, while Project Boost Pro and Max cost $20 and $200 per project.
The Ahrefs index is for macro discovery. It builds questions from its keyword database, Google People Also Ask, and semantic fanout, then runs them through supported AI interfaces. Chatbot questions refresh monthly and use a 90-day reporting window, so Ahrefs describes the results as directional visibility rather than measured audience reach. Custom prompts are micro monitoring: you choose the exact question, platform, location, tags, and a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence. One Ahrefs check equals one prompt on one model in one location.
Ahrefs lists organic indexes for Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Grok. New Grok collection is temporarily paused. Claude is available only for custom prompts through Claude Sonnet 4.6 with web search, and each run consumes eight checks. Ahrefs documents location-aware collection and ISO country filters in its API, but not city or state targeting. Promptwatch supports city, state, and country-level monitoring.
Yes, through adjacent products. Bot Analytics collects server-side bot traffic through Cloudflare, while Web Analytics identifies AI referrals and supports custom events and funnels. Brand Radar's Cited Pages report can show Bot visits and AI traffic from those tools. Ahrefs does not document a prompt-to-conversion join inside Brand Radar, and its methodology explicitly describes Brand Radar as a visibility audit rather than audience measurement. Promptwatch keeps those signals and conversion attribution in one GEO workflow.
Ahrefs has capable content tools, but they are separate from Brand Radar. AI Content Helper is a keyword and SERP-led editor with topic scoring, AI chat, inline generation, and Brand Kits. Agent A is a separate $99 per month agent product that can automate marketing work and connect to WordPress. Brand Radar itself does not provide Promptwatch's native flow from a site-to-prompt content gap into scheduled content agents and direct Webflow or Framer publishing.
Both do. Ahrefs API v3 has dedicated Brand Radar endpoints, and Ahrefs MCP can query the same data from Lite upward. API and MCP share monthly units and row limits, though requests containing only custom-prompt data do not consume API units. Brand Radar supports saved reports, exports, Report Builder widgets, and an Advanced-plus Looker Studio connector. Promptwatch includes API and MCP access on every paid plan and sends scheduled PDF reports without a separate reporting add-on.
Brand Radar indexes brand visibility on YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit while those channels are in beta. Ahrefs also has a separate Social Media Manager beta and paid-search Ads reports in Site Explorer. Its official Brand Radar documentation does not list a dedicated ChatGPT Shopping, product-catalog, or AI ad-tracking module. Promptwatch has dedicated shopping and AI ad analytics for those use cases.
