Why people look for a Profound alternative

You didn't type "profound alternative" for fun. One of these is probably you.

The $99 plan tracks one engine. In 2026.

Profound's Starter covers ChatGPT only, with 50 prompts and 100 agent credits. Perplexity and Google AI Overviews arrive with Growth at $399, and the 9-engine list is Enterprise, behind a Get a Demo call. Promptrack ships its five live engines at €99, every plan, every prompt.

I did the agency math: $399 per client workspace.

Profound's Agency Growth is $99 a month plus add-ons, and each full client workspace costs $399 a month on top; the 10 monthly pitch workspaces are for prospect audits, not ongoing clients. Three real clients land at $1,296 a month. Promptrack tracks unlimited client brands for €99 flat.

Four times the price for half the prompts I track.

Growth is $399 for 100 tracked prompts and 9,000 responses a month. Promptrack is €99 for 200 prompts, refreshed weekly across all six engines, shared freely across your brands. If your list grows past a hundred questions, the gap widens every week.

Profound: what you get, what it costs

The quick, sourced version. Profound is a serious tool; the question is whether its pricing model fits an agency.

What you get for €99

Three engines at the entry price

Promptrack's €99 runs every prompt on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Claude and Copilot, side by side on one row. At Profound, the entry plan tracks ChatGPT alone and the other two engines start at $399. Here the engine list is not a pricing tier.

Share of voice without the enterprise contract

Every brand the engines mention on your prompts is ranked automatically: share of voice, average position, sentiment, and the exact sentence behind each mention. It is the market slide of your next client meeting, generated weekly.

A work list instead of a credit balance

Profound meters its agents in monthly credits. Promptrack turns each run into a plain list of moves, scored by estimated visibility gain: answer this thread, pitch that source, close this gap. Doing the work never draws down a balance.

One report per client, sent while you sleep

Each client workspace gets its own white-label PDF: your agency's cover, the week's deltas, the shipped work. Promptrack emails it after every weekly run. Ten clients means ten reports on Monday morning, and zero evenings spent assembling them.

The visits AI sends, on the same invoice

Drop one snippet on a client site and AI-referred sessions show up attributed by engine, with landing pages and trend. It answers the budget question every retainer renewal raises: what did AI visibility actually send us this quarter?

27 crawlers logged against your citations

Promptrack records every hit from GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and 24 other AI crawlers, then flags which crawled pages actually appear as citations in answers. Crawl without citation is your content gap, made visible page by page.

Common questions

Is Promptrack cheaper than Profound?

The stickers match at the entry: $99 against €99. What the sticker buys differs: Profound's Starter tracks ChatGPT only with 50 prompts, while €99 at Promptrack covers six engines, 200 weekly prompts and unlimited brands. The gap widens for agencies, where each full client workspace at Profound is a $399 monthly add-on (verified August 2026).

What does Profound have that Promptrack does not?

Real advantages: Prompt Volumes, its proprietary dataset of what people actually ask AI engines; up to 9 tracked engines on Enterprise; AEO content creation metered in agent credits; SOC2 and SSO for security reviews; and a dedicated enterprise support tier. The agency logos on its pricing page, Edelman and dentsu among them, say who that tier is aimed at.

When should I stay with Profound?

Honest answer: if you need query volume data to size opportunities, if procurement demands SOC2 and SSO, or if 9-engine coverage is a client requirement, Profound is aimed at your case and priced for it. Promptrack's case is the working agency: six engines, every client included, a report per client every week, €99.

Can I try Promptrack while keeping Profound?

Yes. Import your prompt list (up to 50 at a time), the first run starts within minutes. Compare a weekly cycle side by side: rankings, the action plan, the client-ready report. The trial runs 7 days; a card is required and nothing is charged before day 7.
