Profound

Visit site

Profound is the enterprise leader in deep AI answer-engine analytics, built for large marketing teams with Fortune 500 budgets.

Best for: Enterprise teams wanting deep AI visibility analytics

Profound limitation

Enterprise pricing, and no SEO

Starter is $99 and ChatGPT-only, so multi-engine coverage means Growth at $399 or Enterprise. Profound also does no SEO, so you still need a separate stack.
