Closest alternatives to Profound

The ones people open most here come first, then the closest matches. How we rank

Where Profound falls short: The full 9-engine breadth and SSO/SAML stay behind a sales-led Enterprise contract and cannot be evaluated self-serve.

1
Peec AI
From €85/month (about $95)
AI search analytics: tracks brand visibility, position and sentiment across AI answer engines.
Why it's on this list
The mid-market step-up once Otterly's entry tier is outgrown. Peec publishes tiered EUR pricing from €70/month (about $78) (Starter) to €180/month (about $201) (Pro) to €360/month (about $403) (Advanced), with a 6-engine base pool where each project picks 3 engines and additional models from the same pool available as €25 (about $28)-€115/month (about $129) add-ons. Per-engine visibility, position and sentiment breakdowns, a citation-source view that doubles as a GEO target list, and brand-perception and AI-shopping analytics all ship on the same self-serve workspace. The trade-off: API access and the MCP server are reserved for the custom Enterprise plan, not included on any self-serve tier, and Claude Sonnet 4, GPT 5 Search, DeepSeek, Qwen and Mistral are Enterprise-only too.

2
Searchable
From $125/month
AI search visibility tracking, site audits and content generation for brands and agencies.
Why it's on this list
Technical AEO: YesTechnical audits cover schema markup, content structure and crawlability for AI bots, with 200 to 3,000 page audits a month by plan.

- Perplexity: Yes ↗
- Grok: Partly ↗
Trade-offs
- Gemini: Partly ↗
- Wrong answers about you: Partly ↗
Watch for
The hobo-web.co.uk review discloses its author as the same Shaun Anderson now listed as Searchable's Technical SEO Advisor, so any "independent" coverage from that domain should be read with that disclosure in mind.
3
AIclicks
From $59/month
AI search visibility tracking with citation sources, recommendations and a content agent.
Why it's on this list
Done-for-you service: YesAIclicks also sells done-for-you engagements with published starting prices for audits, content, outreach and Reddit placements alongside the software.
Source ↗
Better than Profound at
- Grok: Partly ↗
- Meta AI: Partly ↗
Trade-offs
- ChatGPT: Partly ↗
- Gemini: Partly ↗
Watch for
Starter tier is capped at 30 tracked prompts and 3 LLMs, which can be tight for brands tracking several competitors across platforms.

The rest of the shortlist

Goodie
End-to-end AEO platform: monitor AI answers, execute optimization actions, attribute AI search to revenue.
Watch for: Pro and Enterprise both require a booked demo, unlike the self-serve Explorer tier.
From $354/month
Evertune
GEO platform that samples each prompt 100 times per model, then acts on the gaps with content and ChatGPT ads.
Watch for: Vendor-reported scale claims (panel size, prompt volume, client roster) have not been independently corroborated by a third party as of this listing's verification date, treat them as vendor-reported, not confirmed.
From $60/month
Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit
Tracks brand mentions and citations in ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews and AI Mode, plus an AI-readiness site audit.
Watch for: Semrush does not publish a public, Toolkit-specific REST endpoint for AI Visibility data.
From Free
Brandlight
Enterprise AI visibility platform sold as a managed program with dedicated AI strategists.
Watch for: Explicitly positioned for large, recognizable enterprise brands and the global agencies serving them. Its own marketing calls it the choice for Fortune 500 CMOs and Global Agencies partners, effectively excluding small and mid-size teams from its target market.
On quote
Promptwatch
AI search visibility tracking with crawler logs and content agents that publish to your CMS.
Watch for: Essential plan is capped at 50 tracked prompts and 1 website, which is thin for brands with multiple product lines.
From $95/month
BrightEdge
Enterprise SEO and AEO platform for tracking and improving brand visibility across Google and AI search engines.
Watch for: Contracts run 12 to 36 months with annual prepayment common, making BrightEdge a poor fit for short-term projects or teams wanting month-to-month flexibility
