At a glance
| Capability | Profound | AgentReady |
|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | Companies, from a self-serve trial up to enterprise. Its headline is “Meet your AI Marketer”. | Founders and small sites on the free and Starter plans; growing teams and agencies on Pro and Business. |
| Getting started | A self-serve trial (50 prompts run daily for 7 days on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews) or a demo for Enterprise. | A free score with no account, then a free plan with one audit a month. |
| Price | Not published on its pricing page: the trial is free and Enterprise is custom. An agency plan is mentioned in its FAQ without a price. | A free plan today. Paid plans are opening soon and can't be bought yet. |
| AI engines | Up to nine on Enterprise: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek, Claude, Google AI Overviews and Exa. Its pricing page doesn't list Grok. | ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok: up to five on every plan. |
| What it measures | Prompt tracking across answer engines, with opportunities, agents and AI traffic analytics. | A 0–100 visibility score from mention rate, sentiment, position, consistency and engine coverage. Every audit keeps the full AI answers so you can read what each engine said. |
| Security and compliance | Lists SSO/SAML and SOC 2 compliance for Enterprise. | No SOC 2 or ISO certification is claimed. The Data & Security page explains what is stored and which providers receive your prompts. |
| Reporting and integrations | Exports and API access on Enterprise; integrations for AI traffic analytics with several CDNs and clouds. | A REST API and a read-only MCP server on Pro and Business. No Looker Studio connector yet. |
| Fixing what you find | An AI assistant for research, writing and reporting (its pricing page tagline). | Generates an llms.txt file (and hosts it), schema markup, and fixes through AI Auto-Fix. |
