Profound publishes two self-serve plans: Starter at $99 a month for ChatGPT only with 50 prompts, and Growth at $399 a month for three engines with 100 prompts, both billed annually (as listed in October 2026 — prices change, so check profound's own pricing page). If those limits fit you, it may be the right tool. If they don't, these are the differences worth comparing.
What to look for
Judge any tool — including ours — on the same lens.
01
Which engines your plan covers
Profound's published Starter plan ($99/month) tracks ChatGPT only; three answer engines start on its Growth plan ($399/month).
Aurvikon: Every plan checks ChatGPT, Claude and Google AI Overviews — no engine is an upgrade.
02
Annual commitment or monthly
Profound's self-serve plans are listed as billed annually, so the first year is the real price of trying it.
Aurvikon: Monthly plans, and a free brand check before you pay anything.
03
How many questions you can track
Prompt caps decide how much of your category you actually see. Profound lists 50 prompts on Starter and 100 on Growth.
Aurvikon: From 25 to 600 questions per plan, each one asked every day on all three engines.
04
Live answers, not model memory
A model answering from memory can't reflect a page you published last week; the consumer apps search the web first.
Aurvikon: Every answer is recorded with the engine searching the web live. Answers from memory are never counted.
05
What happens after the dashboard
Knowing you're missing is step one. The switch is only worth it if the next tool tells you what to change and shows whether it worked.
Aurvikon: An Action Queue built from the pages AI cited when it left you out, and a Results page that compares your first scans with your latest.
06
Running several brands or clients
Single-brand plans get expensive fast for agencies and multi-brand teams.
Aurvikon: Up to 10 brands on the Agency plan, client logins and white-label PDF reports.

When Aurvikon is the better fit

You'd rather pay monthly than commit to a year before you've seen results.
You want a daily to-do list from the pages AI actually cites, and proof of what changed after you did it.
You run several brands or clients and need client logins and white-label reports.
