Which one fits you?
Choose Profound if…
You are an enterprise buyer who wants a heavily funded vendor with content-generation agents and a large services surface, and multi-engine coverage justifies the $399+ tier. Their scale and momentum are real.
Choose GetCited.me if…
You want every engine on every paid plan instead of paying per engine, plus artifacts and brand-disambiguation work that Profound does not currently cover.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which engines do I get for $99/mo?
One: ChatGPT, with 50 prompts, billed yearly. Three engines start at $399/mo, and full coverage is Enterprise, sold by demo. Their marketing names eight surfaces, so read the tier you are actually buying. Checked 2026-08-09.
Is Profound the better choice for an enterprise?
For a large organisation, often yes. They have the scale, the services surface and content-generation agents, and multi-engine coverage at the $399 tier can be justified by an enterprise budget. We are built for a team that wants every engine on the first paid plan.
Does their funding make the product better?
Funding is not a product feature. It buys runway, hiring and support depth, which are real advantages, but none of it shows up in your visibility report. Compare the tier you would actually buy, not the round they raised.
How current are these prices?
Checked 2026-08-09 on their public pages. Tiers in this category move quickly — verify with Profound before you buy, and ask specifically which engines are included at the price you are quoted.
