Profound review: our take
Profound runs a set of prompts through AI answer engines and reports where a brand appears, which sources get cited, the sentiment and which competitors show up. Around that sit Agent Analytics for AI-crawler and AI-referred traffic, Prompt Volumes on what people ask AI platforms, and an AI Marketer whose agents draft content and rewrite pages for approval.
There is no published price. The 7-day trial runs 50 fixed prompts daily on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, with no history, exports or API, and everything after it is a custom Enterprise contract. That makes it a tool for enterprise teams. A small team that wants a price before a sales call has Wellows from $29 a month or Writesonic from $99.
