Which one is for you

Pick Goodie if

  • Fits if you want the tracking and the content work that follows it in one tool, at $295 a month or more
  • Works for teams selling products who need SKU-level AI shopping data, which starts on Pro at $999

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you just want to know whether ChatGPT mentions you, at $295 a month even on yearly billing
  • Tight if you run several brands, as Core covers one brand, two countries and 5 of its 13 engines
  • Skip it if you need the API or multi-brand reporting, which only come with Enterprise
  • Watch out: Pro jumps to $999 a month, is started through a demo, and is where Slack support begins
  • Watch out: agents run on 50 optimization actions a month on Core, and monthly billing adds $59 to Core's price

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.
