What our research says

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

Trovance AI

Trovance watches how four major AI assistants answer questions about a brand's category, then ties that monitoring directly to a content-production and republishing workflow. It's a workable niche for teams whose buyers now research through AI chat instead of search, priced like a SaaS tool rather than an agency retainer. The $99/month entry tier is the cheapest way to see whether the monitoring surfaces anything actionable.

Pros

  • Monitors four major AI assistants rather than just one
  • Ties monitoring directly to a content-production and republishing workflow
  • Entry tier is priced for a single small brand, not just agencies

Cons

  • Whether AI assistants can be reliably influenced by published content is unproven industry-wide
  • Agency tier pricing scales quickly with each additional brand
