Same job, different model. Profound shows you where you stand in AI answers; Rightcited checks the 50 questions that matter every week, has a person read every flagged answer, and does the fixes. Prices below are from tryprofound.com, read on October 8, 2026.
You are an enterprise with a team that will work a dashboard daily, want nine engines and an API, and have the budget a custom enterprise contract implies.
You want one brand checked every week by people and the fixes done, at a published price ($499 a month), without a sales process.
Competitor rows are read from tryprofound.com; Rightcited rows are the Core plan as sold on the pricing page.

| Rightcited Core | Profound | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A monthly service: 50 buyer questions checked weekly on four assistants by people, every flagged answer graded against your truth file, and the fixes done (pages, corrections at the source, listings, placements). | Enterprise AI visibility software: prompt tracking across up to nine answer engines, an AI Marketer assistant, conversation and citation analytics, API and exports. |
| Assistants covered | ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, all with web search on | Up to nine answer engines on Enterprise (trial: ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) |
| Questions tracked | 50 questions chosen with you, weekly, every answer archived as served | Trial: 50 prompts a day for 7 days; Enterprise: a tailored prompt plan |
| How often | Weekly | Daily |
| Who reads the answers | A person reads every flagged answer and grades it with the verbatim sentence; a verdict changes only after two checks agree | Automated collection; the AI Marketer suggests actions; acting is your team's job |
| When an answer is wrong | We trace it to the page the assistant read, request the correction there, and re-check weekly until the answer changes | The dashboard shows it; the correction is yours to make |
| Pages written for your site | Up to ten a month, delivered ready to publish | None; it is a tracking tool |
| Listings, inclusion requests and placements | Up to 20 requests and up to one secured placement a month, logged with dates | None; it is a tracking tool |
| Reporting | A dashboard where every count opens the answers behind it, and a dated work log | Dashboards, reports and exports |
| Monthly price | $499 per brand | Custom (not published) |
| A year, one brand | $5,988 per brand, month to month, work included | Not published |
Profound: No public price. The pricing page lists a free 7-day trial (50 prompts a day on three answer engines) and an Enterprise plan marked Custom; its FAQ mentions a self-serve Agency Growth plan without a price. Over a year, one brand: Not published. What the year buys is the tracking; the pages, the corrections and the outreach the tracking points at are additional work for your team or your agency.
Rightcited Core: $499 per brand per month, month to month, which is $5,988 over a year. What the year buys: 50 questions checked weekly on four assistants with every answer archived, a person grading every flag, up to 120 pages written to the questions, up to 240 listing and inclusion requests, up to 12 secured placements, the corrections, the dashboard and the dated work log. Grow is quoted for accounts that need more than that in a month.
The fair comparison is not the two monthly numbers. It is the tracker's price plus the cost of the people who act on it, against Core's price with the work included.
Profound is software: it collects AI answers for the prompts you set and shows you the numbers. Rightcited is a service: 50 buyer questions checked every week on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, each flagged answer read by a person, and the fixes (pages, corrections at the source, listings and placements) done for you and logged.
Yes, and some clients will. Profound gives a team a daily view across many prompts; Rightcited is the weekly check that someone reads, plus the work. If you run both, the overlap is the tracking, and the useful part of Rightcited is everything after the tracking.
