Profound vs Sited

Profound

Profound is the enterprise end of AI-visibility measurement: it covers more answer engines than most rivals, adds crawler analytics and ChatGPT Shopping that the cheaper trackers lack, and has the funding and customer list to still exist next year. The price is the reason to hesitate - there is no published figure, the free trial is seven days of fifty prompts, and the self-serve agency plan exists only as a line in the FAQ. Mid-market teams will get most of the signal from a tracker with a public price; brands with real budget and a procurement team are the audience here.

Pros

• +Tracks up to nine answer engines, including AI Overviews, Copilot and DeepSeek, not just ChatGPT
• +Agent Analytics shows which AI crawlers visit and cite the site, a layer most trackers skip
• +Prompt Volumes estimates real user questions rather than relying on your own prompt list
• +SOC 2 Type II, SSO and an API, so it passes enterprise review

Cons

• −No published price; the only listed plans are a free trial and a custom Enterprise contract
• −Trial is 7 days, 50 prompts and three engines, with no exports or history
• −No legal entity, address or terms page found on the site
• −The agency plan is named in the FAQ but not in the plan table

Sited

Sited is a cheap, quick way to get a structured read on how AI answer engines see your site, useful as a one-off gut check before investing in schema or content changes. It doesn't track changes over time, so it's a snapshot rather than a monitoring tool, and the underlying analysis is only as good as one person's audit methodology.

Pros

• +Covers six distinct dimensions instead of a single crawlability score
• +Produces a downloadable PDF and Markdown report you can hand to a client or team
• +Free scorecard requires no signup or payment before you commit

Cons

• −It's a one-time snapshot with no ongoing tracking or alerts
• −A single-founder tool, so report depth depends on one person's methodology
