What does Profound pricing currently show?

The live official configuration verified on September 23, 2026 lists Starter at US$99 per month billed yearly, Growth at US$399 per month billed yearly, and Enterprise with tailored pricing. Growth advertises two months free and a trial action. These are public reference amounts, not a regional tax-inclusive checkout quote.

The plan cards establish a useful baseline, but price alone does not describe a monitoring design. Starter tracks 50 prompts on ChatGPT and includes 100 Agents credits per month. Growth tracks 100 prompts across three answer engines and includes 400 Agents credits monthly. Enterprise can expand to as many as nine engines with a tailored prompt plan.

For buyers comparing AI-search visibility platforms, ask whether the prompt, engine, region, language, export, and seat limits match the actual reporting workflow. That prevents a budget built around a plan name instead of the work the team needs to repeat.

How do Starter and Growth differ?

Starter is the narrower self-serve offer: US$99 per month billed yearly, 50 tracked prompts, ChatGPT tracking, and 100 Agents credits per month. It fits a focused program when one engine and a small prompt portfolio answer the buying question.

Growth is US$399 per month billed yearly with two months free. It raises the allowance to 100 tracked prompts, three answer engines, and 400 Agents credits monthly. The extra cost buys broader engine coverage and more agent capacity, not simply twice as many prompts.

Confirm the currency, tax, region, language, overage, renewal, and cancellation terms at checkout or in a written proposal. The public cards do not turn every operational requirement into a contractual allowance.

This approach matters in comparisons with Otterly AI pricing or Peec AI pricing. A lower headline number is not a lower total cost if it excludes useful monitoring coverage.

For another allowance model, Promptwatch pricing separates prompts, responses, and agent credits instead of collapsing capacity into one headline.

What does Profound Growth cost annually?

The displayed Growth offer implies a US$3,990 annual planning total before tax: US$399 multiplied by 10 charged months under the advertised two-months-free annual arrangement. Verify the checkout total, because the page displays a monthly equivalent alongside annual billing.

The US$3,990 figure is arithmetic on the published offer, not a tax-inclusive invoice or Enterprise quote. It does not add onboarding, overages, regional adjustments, or future renewal changes. Keep the checkout or order form as the committed-cost record.

Use a scope-first budget model: estimate prompts or checks, engines and regions, users, exports, and expected support. Then ask Profound to map each requirement to an allowance and price.

What should you request before a demo or quote?

Ask for a written scope before treating a sales conversation as a budget answer. A demo can show the intended workflow while leaving commercial boundaries ambiguous.

Which prompts and engines are included?

Ask how many prompts, runs, or tracked questions are included in each billing period. Clarify whether reruns, refreshes, historical backfills, and team-created prompts consume the same allowance. Ask which AI engines are included and whether coverage differs between ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI experiences, or other surfaces.

Which markets and citation sources are covered?

Confirm country, language, location, device, and market coverage. AI answers can vary by these dimensions, so a plan that covers one market may not answer a multinational team’s question. Ask whether source and citation monitoring is included, how often results refresh, and how long history is retained.

How many seats, exports, and workspaces are included?

Clarify named seats, viewer seats, workspaces, permissions, API access, scheduled exports, and integrations. A plan can look inexpensive until a marketing team, agency, and client stakeholders all need separate access. Ask whether exports are raw, presentation-ready, or limited to a particular format.

What onboarding and renewal terms apply?

Request the implementation scope, training, support response expectations, contract length, cancellation window, renewal price, and any minimum commitment. Ask what happens after the trial: automatic conversion, a sales-assisted proposal, or a disabled workspace. Get the answer in the proposal or order form, not only in a call.

How should you decide whether Profound fits?

Compare repeatability, coverage, and accountability—not just the cheapest visible number. Starter can fit a focused ChatGPT-only program; Growth can fit a broader three-engine program; Enterprise is the sales-led path for tailored prompt and engine coverage.

Use this sequence:

1. Define the buying question: do you need a one-time diagnosis, recurring monitoring, competitive tracking, or reporting for clients?
2. Build a minimum monitoring set: priority prompts, engines, locations, brands, competitors, and citation outcomes.
3. Save the checkout or quote that names every allowance and exclusion.
4. Compare the annual total and renewal terms against the value of decisions the monitoring will support.
5. Run a small pilot or trial only after deciding what evidence would make the program worth renewing.

For a quick starting point, use the ChatGPT Visibility Checker to define the questions you want to ask. The AI visibility tracker guide can help you think through recurring measurement, while the AEO audit checklist helps separate content, entity, and citation work from dashboard features.

The editorial stance here is straightforward: the value is the cost of a repeatable monitoring design, not the cheapest headline. If a platform produces a stable view of the prompts that matter, the engines that influence your buyers, and the sources that earn citations, it can support a real operating decision. If it only supplies an impressive score without a repeatable method, a low price may still be wasted budget.

What are the limitations of this pricing guide?

This guide records the public configuration verified on September 23, 2026. It does not establish a regional checkout total, Enterprise quote, taxes, overages, renewal changes, or product accuracy. No paid account was run, so it makes no hands-on performance claim.

Recheck the official pricing page before purchase. Ask sales to confirm currency, billing cadence, included usage, renewal amount, and cancellation terms in writing. If details are missing, your budget is still an estimate.

What should you do next?

Run a free AEOeye snapshot first. Use it to define important prompts and engines, then buy ongoing tracking only if your team needs repeatable monitoring tied to decisions. That gives you a concrete scope to compare before a headline price becomes a commitment.
