Attensira vs Profound (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Attensira if

• Fits if your site lives in GitHub and you want changes as pull requests you merge
• Works for teams that would rather pay per piece of work than an agency retainer

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you want lots of agent work, as an article is $150 in credits on top of the plan
• Not for you if you want to try it without a card, since only Starter has a trial and it needs one
• Skip it if you want replies posted for you, as community replies and LinkedIn posts are drafts only
• Too light for Gemini tracking on Starter, which reads 4 engines and keeps 3 months of history
• Watch out: Growth and Business bill from day one after a demo, starting at $349 a month

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

Attensira

• Agent work is billed in credits at 1 cent each at list price; an article costs 15,000 credits ($150) and a page fix 2,500 ($25), on top of the plan.
• Starter's 300 included credits cover about $3 of work, and it reads 4 engines without Gemini.
• Only Starter has a trial, and it needs a card; Growth and Business are started through a demo.
• Community replies and LinkedIn posts are drafted for you to post; Attensira does not post them for you.

Profound

• Brands have no self-serve paid plan: after the 7-day trial, ongoing tracking needs a custom-priced Enterprise contract.
• Trial users get a recommended prompt set and cannot edit it; custom prompts, API access, exports and SSO come with Enterprise.
• On Agency Growth, each full client workspace is a $399-a-month add-on and 5 more trial workspaces cost $199 a month.
• Agent runs use credits; extra credits beyond the plan need an Enterprise package, with overage billing or a pause set by the account team.
