Which one is for you
Pick Atomic AGI if
- Fits if you want Google search and AI search numbers in one dashboard
- Works for SEO teams who want to start free on one site and add AI tracking later
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need daily AI checks, as Starter runs every 72 hours and daily means Team Max
- Pricey if you run lots of sites, since every project is billed separately
- Tight if you stay free, with 1 member and 7 days of history
- Watch out: extra members are $10 a month each, and Team Max is sold through a demo
- Not for you if you want a yearly discount, as only monthly prices are listed
Pick Profound if
- Fits if you're a large brand that wants answers tracked on up to 9 engines and can sign a custom contract
- Works for agencies running pitch audits for prospects, at $99 a month for 10 short workspaces
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to sign up and pay without a sales call, as brands can't
- Pricey if you're an agency with several clients, at $399 a month per client workspace on top of $99
- Tight if you want to test your own questions, since the trial's prompts are fixed
- Watch out: custom prompts, the API, exports and SSO all come only with Enterprise
- Watch out: agents spend credits, and extra credits need an Enterprise package with overage billing or a pause

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
