The honest difference

Otterly is the best cheap monitoring in the category, and that's not a backhanded compliment — daily checks, multi-country, clean exports, about $29/mo. If all you need is to watch, buy it. But monitoring is the start of the job, not the job. Bromley is the role that does what the monitoring finds: it takes the gap Otterly would show you, grounds it in your own Search Console and product data, drafts the specific fix, waits for your approval, and confirms the citation moved. Otterly tells you you're losing; Bromley wins it back. One is a $29 gauge; the other is a $499 specialist — and they're not really the same purchase.
