6/100

Profound tracks how brands appear in AI answer engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, monitoring a set of prompts for mentions, citations and competitors, with prompt-volume estimates, AI-crawler analytics and agents for content work.

Verdict: Independent discussion is thin: only 9 non-promotional comments give a real opinion of Profound, and most are critical. A few users see it as one of the deeper, more mature trackers, but the recurring complaints are enterprise-level pricing, setup and UX that take effort, and prompt-volume numbers that users find opaque or implausibly high; whether its data comes from real user conversations or from purchased and synthetic panels is contested in the threads. 34 of the 54 comments mentioning it were promotional, mostly vendors and agencies using Profound as the foil for their own AI-visibility tool, and those were excluded.

What users like

  • Seen by a few users as one of the deeper, more mature trackers, and the one that comes closest to explaining why a brand gets cited rather than just counting mentions[1][2]
  • Its interface is described as slick and well liked, even by a commenter who doubts its underlying data[1]

What users complain about

  • Enterprise pricing: users call it expensive and say it is priced and built for enterprise buyers[1][2][3]
  • Prompt-volume and prompt data are not trusted: users call the numbers opaque, "crazy high" relative to traditional search volumes, or a guess, and say the data does not inspire confidence[1][2][3][4]
  • Takes effort to get going: one user found the UX too complicated with parts still under development, another had no time to do the setup it needed[1][2]
  • One skeptic sees no merit in paid trackers like it, arguing the prompts, analytics and suggested fixes are themselves generated with AI[1]

Best for

  • Larger brands with an enterprise budget that want a broad, data-heavy AI visibility tracker

Skip it if

  • Small teams or agencies on a tight monthly budget
  • Buyers who need prompt-volume figures they can verify
  • Teams without time to set up and interpret a complex dashboard
PricingVendor-stated

No public price for brands: a free 7-day trial (50 preset prompts run daily on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews), then Enterprise at custom, sales-led pricing. For agencies, the self-serve Agency Growth plan lists client workspaces as add-ons at $399/month each but shows no base price; Agency Enterprise is custom.

Peec AI logo

Peec AI

peec.ai
Thin evidence

Peec AI tracks how a brand appears in AI search answers (ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews, Copilot and others), measuring visibility, position, sentiment and share of voice against competitors for a set of tracked prompts, plus the sources those answers cite.

Verdict: Independent discussion is very thin: only three non-promotional comments give a real opinion of Peec, so treat any conclusion as tentative. Ten of the 16 comments were promotional, mostly accounts naming Peec as the 'simple starting point' before plugging their own tracker, plus one comment from a Peec employee and two identical copies of the same plug. Of the genuine users, one says it is much better than anything else they tried and another says its competitor comparison caught visibility dips early but should be paired with manual checks and Ahrefs; a third found a rival tool cheaper at scale.

Astroturf check10 of 16 comments read as promotion or coordinated seeding and were excluded: unusually high promotional activity.

What users like

  • Users who run it rate it highly: one says it is much better than anything else they tried, another that its competitor comparison helped them spot visibility dips before they hit traffic[1][2]
  • One user after a few weeks of use says it showed which pages were trending up even while Google Search Console data was lagging[1]

What users complain about

  • Not something to rely on alone: a user who likes it advises pairing it with manual checks and Ahrefs for deeper insight[1]
  • One user who tried Peec, Profound and PromptWatch found PromptWatch quite good by comparison and more affordable at scale[1]

Best for

  • SEO and content teams that want a straightforward first tracker for brand visibility in AI answers
  • Teams that want to compare their AI-answer visibility against named competitors over time

Skip it if

  • Buyers who want a single source of truth without manual spot checks
  • Teams tracking a large prompt set on a tight budget
PricingVendor-statedFrom €85/mo

Starter €85/mo (50 prompts, 3 models, 1 project), Pro €205/mo (150 prompts, 2 projects) and Advanced €425/mo (350 prompts, 5 projects), all with unlimited users and daily tracking, shown at monthly prices; annual billing is 15% cheaper. Extra models are a paid add-on. Enterprise is custom, billed annually, with API access and SSO. The page offers a free trial but states no length; no free plan.

Otterly.ai logo

Otterly.ai

otterly.ai
Thin evidence

Otterly.AI tracks how often and how a brand appears in AI search answers, running a set of search prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Perplexity and Copilot.

Verdict: Independent discussion is very thin: 11 of the 15 Reddit comments mentioning Otterly were promotional, mostly accounts name-dropping it before plugging a lesser-known AI visibility tool (including two identical comments from different accounts), and only three non-promotional comments carry an opinion. Those few treat it as a reasonable self-serve option, one shortlisted after its team judged Profound overpriced. The most upvoted comment questions the whole category: visibility percentages come from repeatedly asking models a fixed set of prompts, so they shift between runs and say nothing about real prompt volume.

2 positive0 mixed1 negativeacross 3 rated independent comments

Astroturf check11 of 15 comments read as promotion or coordinated seeding and were excluded: unusually high promotional activity.

What users like

  • Shortlisted as one of the top self-serve options by an SEO team that demoed several trackers after finding Profound overpriced[1]
  • One user trying to work out which queries their brand shows up for in AI answers found it had "some useful ideas", alongside Semrush's AI visibility data[1]

What users complain about

  • Its visibility percentages come from asking AI models the same typed prompts over and over; answers change between runs and wordings and real prompt volume is unknown, so one user argues the share figures are unreliable (a critique aimed at the category, naming Semrush too)[1]

Best for

  • Teams that want a self-serve AI visibility tracker to trial without a sales process

Skip it if

  • Anyone who needs AI share-of-voice figures they can report as precise numbers
PricingVendor-statedFrom $29/mo

From $29/mo (Lite, 15 search prompts) billed monthly, or $25/mo billed annually; Standard $189/mo (100 prompts), Premium $489/mo (400 prompts), Enterprise custom from 1,000 prompts. Free trial for new users; no free plan.

Frequently asked questions

Based on independent Reddit discussion, Profound ranks first. Profound scores 6/100 from 9 independent comments (1 positive, 2 mixed, 6 negative).

How this ranking works

Every claim above links to the public Reddit comment it comes from. We only count comments from independent users: we exclude vendor blogs, G2/Capterra/Trustpilot reviews, testimonials, affiliate posts, and comments from employees, founders, agencies pitching services, or accounts that repeatedly promote the same tool. Each author counts once per tool. Scores are the confidence-adjusted share of favourable comments, so a tool needs both praise and volume to rank highly. Full methodology.
