MentioningYou vs Profound
An enterprise-focused AEO platform recently valued at $1B, built for large brands that want autonomous AI agents acting on visibility gaps, not just a dashboard.
What Profound is
Profound tracks how brands appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and (on higher tiers) Gemini, Claude, Copilot and Grok, and layers in a "Prompt Volume" feature that estimates real AI-search demand plus autonomous agents that can take content actions. It raised a $96M Series C in February 2026 at a $1B valuation and counts Walmart, Target, Ramp and MongoDB among its 700+ customers.
Side by side
| MentioningYou | Profound | |
|---|---|---|
| Engines tracked | ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI, Copilot | ChatGPT only on Starter ($99/mo); adds Perplexity and Google AI Overviews on Growth ($399/mo); Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Grok reserved for custom-quoted Enterprise |
| Pricing model | Free scan, paid ongoing tracking with published pricing | Starter and Growth prices are public ($99/$399 per month); Enterprise is demo-gated with no published price |

Where Profound holds up well
- Wide potential engine coverage, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot and Grok on higher tiers
- A "Prompt Volume" feature that estimates real AI-search demand for topics, not just mention counts
- Autonomous "Agent" credits that can take content actions rather than only reporting data
Worth knowing before you commit
- The $99/mo Starter plan only tracks ChatGPT — Perplexity and Google AI Overviews require the $399/mo Growth plan
- Full engine coverage (Claude, Gemini, Copilot) and Enterprise pricing are not published; you have to book a demo to get a quote
- Third-party reviewers estimate Enterprise pricing at roughly $2,000-5,000+/mo, which is out of reach for smaller teams
Frequently asked questions
Is Profound cheaper than MentioningYou?
Profound's Starter plan ($99/mo) is ChatGPT-only; you need the $399/mo Growth plan for Perplexity and Google AI Overviews too, and full-engine Enterprise pricing isn't published. MentioningYou starts with a free AI visibility scan and publishes its paid tracking pricing up front.
Does Profound track Claude and Gemini?
Only on tiers above Growth — full coverage including Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Grok is reserved for the custom-quoted Enterprise tier. MentioningYou tracks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI and Copilot from the start.
Who is Profound built for?
Profound is built primarily for large enterprises — its customer base includes Walmart, Target and MongoDB, and it recently raised at a $1B valuation. Smaller teams without an enterprise budget may find its Growth/Enterprise pricing and demo-gated top tier harder to evaluate self-serve.
