Videntic or Profound? Compare the work, not the checklist.
Profound calls itself “the AI marketing platform” and pairs answer tracking with agents and server-log bot analytics. Videntic covers the same ground from answer to published page, with prices you can read before you talk to anyone.
| Starts at | Custom | $250/mo |
|---|---|---|
| Engines on standard plans | ||
| Drafts and publishes | Agents publish to your CMS | Yes, after you approve |
| Free trial | 7 days, 50 daily prompts | 7-day free trial |
The short answer
Choose Profound if you are an enterprise team that wants answers captured from the browser, server-log data on AI bots, ChatGPT Shopping tracking and agents that publish to your CMS, and you are happy to buy through a sales-led contract.
Choose Videntic if you want published monthly prices, a self-serve trial and the whole path from captured answer to approved draft to live page, without a sales-led contract.
Either way, ask each vendor to run your own buying questions in a live session and compare the answers line by line. The free check is one way to start. Run the free check

Where each one listens
The AI engines each vendor names on its own pages, and on which plans.
| ChatGPT | AI Overviews | AI Mode | Gemini | Copilot | Claude | Perplexity | Grok | DeepSeek | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Included | Included | Higher plans | Included | Unclear | Higher plans | Higher plans | Unclear | Higher plans | |
| Included | Included | Not listed | Included | Included | Included | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed |
A lit logo is on standard plans. A dimmed logo is an add-on, sits on higher plans, or isn’t named on the pages we read; the word under it says which.
- Microsoft Copilot, Profound: On the homepage and FAQ, not the Enterprise plan list
- Claude, Videntic: Tracked through Anthropic’s API on paid plans. The free check doesn’t include Claude.
- Grok, Profound: Named only in a product FAQ
Three differences that change the choice
How you buy it
Profound offers a 7-day free trial and a custom Enterprise contract that starts with a demo. It publishes no list prices. Videntic publishes monthly plans from $250 for 50 prompts, with Enterprise priced on request.14
How answers are captured
Profound says it captures answers from the browser, where other tools pull them from an API. Videntic shows the prompt, the platforms, the placement and the exact words behind each mention, and tracks Claude through the API. If capture method matters to you, ask both how each engine is sampled.23
Bot data and many CMSs, or one tracked draft
Profound reads server logs to show how AI bots crawl your pages, and its agents publish to a long list of CMSs, from WordPress and Webflow to AEM and Sanity. Videntic’s Sira drafts in Content Studio, publishes to WordPress or Shopify once you approve, then tracks the citations each published post earns.6791112
What it costs, as published
Not normalised, not rounded. Plans count prompts, engines, credits and seats differently, so the cheapest line is rarely the cheapest setup. Prices as shown on 8 November 2026.

Pricing is sales-led: Profound publishes no list prices or currency. The trial covers three engines, one language and one region, with limited AI Marketer credits. Enterprise adds custom prompts, more engines, ChatGPT Shopping and API access. Agent usage is counted in credits.
Not verified. A pricing FAQ mentions a self-serve Agency Growth plan with 400 credits a month per client workspace; we found no price for it.
Ask both vendors before you sign
Take these to both demos.
Which engines does my contract cover?
Profound’s homepage, FAQ and pricing page list different engines. Ask for the list in writing, and which engines are trial-only or Enterprise-only.
How is each answer captured?
Ask each vendor whether answers come from a browser session or an API, engine by engine, and how often each prompt runs.
Where does approval sit?
Ask to see one agent run go from a finding to a live page in your own CMS, and what can publish without a person signing off.
What does a year cost?
Profound prices Enterprise by contract and meters agents in credits. Ask for the credit allowance, the cost of extra credits and the renewal terms, then compare them with published plans.
Questions about this comparison
What is the main difference between Profound and Videntic?
Both track how AI answers mention and cite your brand. Profound is sold as an enterprise contract and adds browser-captured answers, server-log bot analytics and agents that publish to many CMSs. Videntic publishes its prices, reviews claims about your brand and takes approved drafts through to publishing on WordPress or Shopify.
Is Videntic a Profound alternative?
Yes, if you want published monthly prices and tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claude and Google AI Overviews, with drafting and approval in the same tool. If you need server-log bot data, ChatGPT Shopping tracking or a wide set of CMS connections, look closely at Profound.
