Why people look for a Gauge alternative
You didn't type "gauge alternative" for fun. One of these is probably you.
The entry price is $599. There is no smaller door.
Gauge sells one self-serve plan: Growth at $599 a month, 600 daily prompts on six platforms, with a custom Enterprise above it. No tier sits underneath, and its own FAQ addresses why it costs more than other tools. Promptrack's door is €99: 200 weekly prompts, six engines, unlimited brands.
108,000 answers a month is more data than my clients ever ask about.
Daily runs on 600 prompts across six platforms produce a mountain of answers. If your clients review visibility weekly, part of that spend buys granularity a weekly review does not use. Promptrack samples weekly on purpose: enough to see movement, cheap enough to cover every client on the roster.
I need white-label reports, and the pricing page doesn't mention them.
Client reporting under your agency's brand is not shown on Gauge's pricing page; exports are. Promptrack treats the branded client report as the core deliverable: built after each weekly run, emailed to each client, included at €99.
Gauge: what you get, what it costs

What you get for €99
Weekly data sized for weekly decisions
Promptrack runs 200 prompts weekly on six engines: around 5,200 answers a month, each with rank, sentiment and the cited sentence. It is a sample sized for a weekly client review, at a price a small retainer can absorb.
Competitors surfaced, not configured
You declare a handful of rivals; the engines reveal the rest. Promptrack ranks every brand mentioned across your prompts by share of voice, attaches sentiment per engine, and keeps the verbatim sentence one click away.
An action list that fits a retainer
Each weekly run becomes a short, scored list: the thread to answer, the source to pitch, the gap to close. Nothing to configure, nothing metered, and finished items become the proof-of-work section of the next client report.
The deliverable ships itself weekly
One setting turns runs into client-ready PDFs: your agency's cover, the deltas, the moves shipped. Promptrack emails each client automatically after every run, so ten clients cost the same effort as one.
Traffic proof on the €99 budget
The snippet takes a minute per site and starts attributing sessions to ChatGPT, Perplexity and the rest, landing pages included. The AI channel stops being a claim in a deck and becomes a line in the client's own analytics.
Every crawler visit, on the record
27 AI bots logged request by request across each client site, cross-checked with the pages answers cite. When someone asks whether AI attention is real, you show the log, not a lecture.
Common questions
Is Promptrack cheaper than Gauge?
By about six to one on the listed numbers, before currency conversion: Gauge's self-serve plan is $599 a month, Promptrack is €99 (verified August 2026). The gap buys real things: daily runs, six platforms, 108,000 answers a month, article production, ten seats. Whether those convert into retainers for your agency is the question to ask before paying for them.
What does Gauge have that Promptrack does not?
Volume and production: 600 daily prompts on six platforms, 18 publish-ready articles a month with CMS publishing, GA4, Search Console and DataForSEO integrations, Slack, MCP access and 10 seats, plus an Ask Gauge agent for questions about your data. Enterprise adds Claude, Grok and recurring strategy sessions with the Gauge team.
When should I stay with Gauge?
Honest answer: if your clients fund daily monitoring across six platforms, if content production inside the tool replaces a writer, or if the GA4 and Search Console integrations anchor your workflow, Gauge may well justify its price, and it addresses the question plainly in its own FAQ. Promptrack is for the agency whose clients pay for outcomes rather than answer volume: the loop from tracking to branded report, at €99.
Can I try Promptrack while keeping Gauge?
Yes, the trials line up: one week each. Import your prompts into Promptrack (up to 50 at a time), run a weekly cycle, and compare deliverables rather than dashboards: what lands in your client's inbox from each tool at the end of the week.
