Profound alternatives

Profound’s plan for brands is Enterprise, priced on request, for companies “operationalizing AI Search insights and running marketing agents at scale”.[1] If you want a listed price, a self-serve start or to pay only for what you use, these are the other tools people look at, with facts from their own pages.

What Profound offers

From Profound’s own pricing and docs pages, as of 15 October 2026:

  • For brands, a free Trial: 50 prompts run daily for 7 days on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, from a recommended prompt set you cannot customize.[1]
  • For ongoing tracking, an Enterprise plan with custom pricing: a tailored prompt plan, up to 9 answer engines, custom languages and regions, API access, SSO/SAML and dedicated support.[1]
  • For agencies, Agency Growth at $99/month plus add-ons: 10 pitch workspaces a month, and full client workspaces at $399/month each, with 100 unique prompts tracked daily.[1]
  • AI Marketer agents that research, write and report, priced on credits.[1]
  • An MCP server, available on the Enterprise plan.[2]

If you want many answer engines, AI agents that produce marketing work and dedicated support, that is what Profound’s Enterprise plan lists.

Who looks for an alternative

  • Smaller teams who want to see a price and sign up without a demo.
  • Teams that do not need daily data and would rather pay for each scan they run than for a plan.
  • Teams that want an API or MCP server without an enterprise contract, to read the data in their own AI or dashboards.
  • Agencies with a handful of clients who want to start with one or two and grow.

Where Teddit fits

Teddit asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode the questions your buyers ask, on a schedule you choose, and shows who gets named, named first and linked, share of voice against competitors, tone, the pages cited and where they rank in Google for the searches the assistants ran, and how it all changes week by week.[14] There is no subscription: you top up from $50, pay per answer, and see the price of a scan before it runs.[13] Your own AI reads the data through the MCP server.

It is not a fit if you need Microsoft Copilot or DeepSeek tracked, a free trial, or a tool that writes recommendations for you. See pricing, or compare it with a subscription tool in Teddit vs Otterly.AI.
