The short version
Profound describes itself as an AI search analytics platform for enterprise brands: it tracks and reports how AI engines answer about you, and your team acts on it. We start from the other end: a free measured report on your buyer questions, and if you want the gaps closed, a plan where we do the site work, the listings and the pages, then rescan.
Side by side
| Profound | Try AI Visibility | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An AI search analytics platform for larger brands: tracks how AI engines answer about a brand and its category, with reporting for marketing teams | A free measured report, then a monthly service that does the work |
| How you start | A subscription and a dashboard you configure | A website address; the report appears in three minutes |
| Who does the work | Your team, from the dashboard's findings | Us, on a plan, on your site and the sources the engines cite |
| What you get monthly | Tracking of the prompts you set up | The same report again on the same questions, and what we did |
| Price | See their pricing page; it changes | Free report; plans from $299 a month, on the page |
| Best for | Enterprise marketing teams with the staff to act on daily tracking and the budget for a platform | Companies that want the measurement once, free, and someone to do the work monthly |
When to choose Profound
Enterprise marketing teams with the staff to act on daily tracking and the budget for a platform. A monitoring product is the right tool when the work is already staffed and what is missing is the daily number.
When to choose us
Companies that want the measurement once, free, and someone to do the work monthly. We are the right choice when the number is known, or about to be, and nobody has the hours to move it.
Questions about the comparison
Can I use Profound and Try AI Visibility together?
Yes, and some clients do: Profound to watch the numbers daily, us to move them. The report is free and the questions are yours to keep.
Is this comparison fair?
It is written from Profound's own site as of September 2026 and from what we do. Where we are not sure of a detail of theirs, the table says to check their page rather than guessing. If something here is wrong, tell us on the contact page and it is corrected.
How we get your company into AI answers
- 01
Read the answers
Your buyers' questions, put to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews. Who is named, in what order, which pages each engine cites.
- 02
Find the sources
The pages the engines cited, ranked by how many of your questions they decide. That list is the work.
- 03
Publish the gap
We write the page that answers the question you are missing from and ship it to your domain.
- 04
Earn the citation
Listings claimed, the sites the engines already trust pitched, and the same questions asked again at day 30 until the answer names you.
