Profound Pricing 2026: Free Trial, Enterprise and Quotes

Profound pricing is hard to pin down. The official page shows a free 7-day trial and a custom Enterprise plan with no published price, so you must book a demo to see a number. This page explains what the trial includes, what Enterprise adds, how the cost per prompt compares with cheaper tools, and who should pay. GrandRanker tracks how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews mention your brand, then writes and publishes the content that gets you cited.

Profound pricing at a glance

Profound does not publish a price for any paid plan. Its official pricing page shows a free 7-day trial, an Enterprise plan marked custom, and a "Get a Demo" button. Based on vendor pricing pages and product docs, checked November 2026, the plans we can confirm are the free trial, Enterprise and a self-serve Agency Growth plan that appears only in the FAQ.

The page lists three ways in. The free trial is the only option with a price shown, and that price is zero. The table sets out what each option includes.

Agency Growth appears only in the FAQ. The page calls it a self-serve plan with 400 credits a month per client workspace. It shows no price, prompt count or engine list for it, so treat it as unpriced until the sales team confirms a number.

What the Profound free trial includes

The trial is the cheapest way to see Profound at work, but its limits are strict. The limits below apply to the free trial only.

• Prompts: 50 unique prompts, each run daily for 7 days.
• Engines: ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews only.
• Searches: 5 Prompt Volumes searches, with no history.
• Limits: one language, one region, no exports, no API, no SSO and no support.
• Shopping: ChatGPT Shopping tracking is not included.

Use the trial to test whether the prompts match the questions your buyers ask. Do not judge the full product on it. Perplexity, Claude and the other Enterprise engines are missing from the trial, so a clean trial report says nothing about them.

Profound pricing for enterprise teams

Enterprise is where Profound's full feature set sits, and its price is set per deal. The page calls Enterprise a tailored plan. Expect a sales call before you see a number.

• Engines: up to nine, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini, DeepSeek, Claude, AI Overviews, Exa Search and Muse Spark.
• Prompts: custom prompts you can edit, disable or add, tracked daily.
• Data: full Prompt Volumes history, CSV and JSON exports, and API access.
• Security: SSO/SAML and SOC 2 compliance.
• Support: email, a dedicated Slack channel, or a dedicated specialist with a 24-hour SLA.
• Coverage: custom languages and regions, plus ChatGPT Shopping.

Those features matter for global brands with several regions and a security review. A team with one country and a dozen prompts pays for features it will never use.

Third-party sites quote older self-serve Profound plans at $99 and $399 a month, and say they were removed around September 2026. We could not confirm either figure on the official page, so treat both as unverified.

Price per prompt: Profound vs cheaper tools

Price per prompt is the fairest way to compare trackers, because prompt count drives the bill. Profound publishes no price, so its cost per prompt cannot be calculated. The table uses the base prices we can confirm on each vendor page.

Peec AI costs the least per prompt of the three, but its Starter plan covers only three engines. Otterly.AI is cheapest in cash terms, yet 15 prompts is a small set for most brands. Semrush costs the most per prompt of the group.

Read the full plan details on the Peec AI pricing and Otterly.AI pricing pages before you pick a number.

How many prompts you need matters more than the price per prompt. The guide to prompt counts shows how to size the set before you pay for it.

Hidden costs to check before you buy

Base prices rarely cover the full bill. These add-ons come from the competitor pricing pages, and they are fair questions to put to Profound's sales team as well.

• Otterly.AI pricing: extra prompts cost $99 a month, and Claude, Gemini and AI Mode are paid add-ons.
• Peec AI pricing: extra models cost $30 a month on Starter.
• Semrush pricing: each extra domain costs $99 a month.
• Profound: exports, API access and SSO are not on the free trial.

Also ask whether the contract renews automatically and how unused credits are handled. The public pages do not answer either question, so the answer has to come in writing.

Questions to ask Profound before you sign

Get these answers in writing before you agree to a demo-based contract. A vague answer on any line is a reason to walk away or to compare quotes.

1. A written monthly price for your exact prompt count.
2. The list of engines included, and which ones cost extra.
3. The credit allowance, and what happens when you go over it.
4. Whether exports, API access and support are in the contract.
5. The renewal term and the notice needed to cancel.

Who should pay for Profound?

Profound fits large brands with an enterprise budget that need nine engines, SSO, SOC 2, API access and a content agent. If that describes your team, the sales call is worth your time. For most small and mid-size businesses, it costs more than the job needs.
