Goodie AI vs Profound for AI Visibility in 2026

Goodie is the better fit when the team wants a published price, a counted prompt allowance, and an action list in the same login, and the engines on the card are the ones that matter. Profound is the better fit when the purchase is a security review, the prompt list has to become yours after a short trial, and nobody wants a content suite bundled into the measurement invoice. On 8 November 2026 Goodie's brand pricing page, with annual billing selected, showed Core at $295 a month and Pro at $999 a month. Profound's brand pricing page showed a free trial and a custom Enterprise plan, and it did not show a paid self-serve price.

Last updated - November 2026

I am Austin Heaton. The visibility work I set up is mostly for fintech. The rest is B2B SaaS and other industries when the buyer question is the same. A visibility login is worth opening when I can see who was mentioned, which URL was cited, and which sentence a writer is about to ship. A share-of-voice figure without those rows is not a plan.

Goodie's prices and plan gates are from Goodie's brand pricing page, read on 8 November 2026, including the comparison table, the FAQ, and the offer schema on that page. The product definitions that are not plan gates are from Goodie's features page, read the same day. Agency pitch workspaces are from the agency pricing page. Profound's trial and Enterprise terms are from Profound's pricing page. Citation categories are from Profound's citation page. The model list that does not match the pricing page is Answer Engine Insights. Agents, which are not an article quota, are Profound's Agents page. I also opened Profound's October 2025 pricing post, because it is still on the site and it still prints a Starter price the pricing page does not. The four-tool shortlist that already includes Profound is Profound vs Peec AI vs Otterly vs Semrush. AthenaHQ beside Profound is AthenaHQ vs Profound. Writesonic beside Profound is Writesonic GEO vs Profound. Peec's country limit and engine menu against Scrunch are Peec AI vs Scrunch AI. I am not pasting prices from those posts forward as today's invoice.

Key Takeaways

• On 8 November 2026 Goodie's brand pricing page defaulted to annual billing. Core showed $295 a month and Pro showed $999 a month. The schema annual totals are $3,540 and $11,988, and the descriptions say two months free. The offers named "billed monthly" are $354 and $1,198.80. Enterprise is custom. Core is the self-serve plan, and the card includes a 7-day free trial.
• Core's comparison column names five engines: ChatGPT, AI Overview, Perplexity, AI Mode, and Copilot, with 110 prompts, 2 countries, 2 languages, and daily collection. Pro adds Gemini, Alexa, and Sparky, for eight engines and 250 prompts. The features FAQ says Goodie tracks 14 AI surfaces. The enterprise column I could read named 13, and the card says up to 14.
• Goodie sells actions, not only a log. Core is 50 actions a month, 10 pages on the scorecard, and 40 million agent tokens. The social-agent row is not checked on Core. Export is off on Core and on for Pro. API access is checked on Enterprise. Revenue attribution and Brand Command's four rates are Enterprise. MCP is checked on all three, and the features FAQ says that connection is read-only.
• Profound's pricing page the same day was a free trial and custom Enterprise. The trial is 50 prompts a day for 7 days on ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Trial users cannot edit the prompts, and the trial column has no export. Enterprise says up to 9 answer engines. The pricing capability list and the Answer Engine Insights FAQ do not name the same nine. I did not find a paid self-serve brand price. A Profound post dated 21 October 2025 still says pricing starts at $99 a month. I am not using that post as the invoice.
• Goodie's agency page, on the annual view, showed Growth at $275 a month, 10 pitch workspaces, and a client-workspace add-on from $399 a month. That $399 floor is also in the agency schema, and it is not the Core price on the brand page. Profound's agency line is 400 credits a month per client workspace, with no dollar on the pricing FAQ.

What Job Are These Two Tools Doing?

Both products sell a view of how AI answers talk about a brand. They do not start from the same object. Goodie's pricing page sells what it calls a full loop: research, monitoring, actions, and revenue measurement, with a prompt count and an action count on the card. Profound's pricing page leads with an AI Marketer that researches, writes, and reports, and then with Answer Engine Insights as the measurement module. The Profound FAQ says the product is not only for AI search. Agents can research a market, shape a campaign, and write. That is a wider job than a prompt log. The measurement job is still the one I can check.

I care about four objects. The first is the mention: did the answer name the brand. The second is the citation: did the answer attach a URL, and whose URL. The third is the engine list on the plan you can buy without a call. The fourth is the page someone can ship after the report. Goodie prints prompt counts, action credits, and page caps on the pricing table. Profound prints agent credits and does not print an article count. A team that wants the draft and the log on one published invoice is reading Goodie. A team that is buying a measurement stack with a security review is reading Profound's trial and then a quote, or it is buying a different published-price log.

Profound already sits in a four-tool shortlist with Peec AI, Otterly, and Semrush. Prices on that page are not the prices on Profound's site on 8 November 2026. This page is Goodie and Profound only. The features page on Goodie's site displays customer result lines, including percentages. I did not open those case studies and I did not audit the figures, so I am not using them. The sample scores on Profound's Answer Engine Insights page are the same kind of illustration. They are not measurements I took.

How Do Goodie and Profound Compare?

The table uses each vendor's pages on 8 November 2026. Where a marketing page and a pricing table disagree, the cell keeps both. I am not filling a Profound price from a 2025 blog post.

If the engine list and the action cap are about to be two purchases, Book a Call and bring one prompt the buyer actually asks. The prompt shows which card is even eligible.

What Does Goodie Include at a Published Price?

I read the brand page, not the agency toggle, first. The billing control had annual selected: the year label carried the active state, and the switch was pressed. Core, on that view, was $295 a month. Pro was $999 a month. The label next to the other position says "Billed Monthly," and it says annual billing is two months free. The offer schema is more specific than the toggle. An offer named "Core (billed monthly)" is $354, with a one-month billing duration. An offer named "Core (billed annually)" is $3,540 a year, described as $295 a month with two months free. Pro's monthly offer is $1,198.80. Pro's annual offer is $11,988, described as $999 a month with two months free. Ten times $354 is $3,540. Twelve times $295 is $3,540. The same pair holds for Pro: ten times $1,198.80 is $11,988, and twelve times $999 is $11,988. That is what "two months free" means if the higher figure is a monthly rate. I am showing the arithmetic because both numbers are on the page. I did not complete a checkout.

One label in the page source does not match that schema. The $354 and $1,198.80 figures are stored in an attribute named as a quarterly price, on the same element the monthly toggle updates. The schema calls those offers monthly. I am not going to invent a third rate to make the words agree. The numbers I can cite are the ones in the offers and on the card. If a contract says "quarterly," read it. The schema I read says the $354 offer is one month.

Core's card is the only self-serve brand plan. It says 5 core models, 110 prompts, MCP plus 50 optimizations a month, unlimited seats, and AEO strategist support. The button says try it free, and the card says 7-day free trial. The monthly offer description repeats the trial. The FAQ says Core is fully self-serve, that you can start without a sales conversation, and that a baseline can be running in minutes. Pro and Enterprise, the same FAQ says, start with a conversation. Pro's card is 8 models, 250 prompts, MCP plus 100 optimizations, SKU-level agentic commerce on 5 or more models, unlimited seats, and strategist support. The button is a demo, not a trial. Enterprise is custom: up to 14 models, tailored prompt volume, complete revenue attribution, white-glove implementation, multi-brand performance, unlimited seats, a dedicated strategist, MCP and API, and SOC 2. The FAQ adds SSO/SAML, export, and "all 14 engines" to the Enterprise description. The card I read names SOC 2 and does not name SSO. I would put SSO on the order form if the security review requires it, because the FAQ and the card are not the same sentence.

The comparison table is the plan gate, and it is stricter than the word "full loop." Core's engine list is ChatGPT, AI Overview, Perplexity, AI Mode, and Copilot. That is five, which matches the card. Pro adds Gemini, Alexa, and Sparky. That is eight, which matches the card. The table says Alexa. The site footer says Alexa for Shopping. I am not expanding Sparky into a retailer the page does not name. Enterprise's column, in the markup I read, named ChatGPT, AI Overview, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, AI Mode, Copilot, Meta, DeepSeek, Grok, Alexa, Sparky, and Muse. That is 13 names. The card says up to 14. The features FAQ says Goodie tracks 14 AI surfaces. The footer model list adds Instinct to a 14-name set. I am not assigning Instinct to Enterprise because I did not see it in that column. "Up to 14" is a ceiling. It is not a contents list until the missing name is written down.

Tracked prompts and prompt research are different caps. The table's prompt row is 110, 250, and 500 or more. That is the monitored set. Prompt research per month is 30, 80, and 80 or more. The watchlist shortlist is the same 30, 80, and 80 or more. A team that hears "110 prompts" and also hears "we will research the category" is looking at two meters. Countries are 2, 5, and 8 or more. Languages match those counts. Brands tracked show as 1 on Core, 1 on Pro, and 1 or more on Enterprise. Data collection is marked daily on all three. I did not see a weekly option on this table.

The FAQ says you can swap any tracked prompt up to the plan limit, and that Goodie recommends a starting set during onboarding. Core's "start in minutes" sentence and the onboarding sentence are both on the page. The table text shows a 30-minute onboarding call on the lower tiers and custom hours on Enterprise. I would ask, before the trial week ends, whether the 110 prompts arrive as Goodie's set, your set, or a mix you can edit inside the cap. The FAQ says you can edit. I have not clicked the editor.

What the action layer includes, and where the checks stop

The features FAQ lists ten tools across research, monitoring, action, and measurement, and it says MCP connects the data to other AI tools. The pricing FAQ says every plan includes the full action layer. The table does not check every row on Core.

Checked on all three brand columns: the visibility and citation reports, sentiment, the content writer, optimization, blog generation, outreach, the technical agent, and MCP. Not checked on Core: agentic commerce, the social agent, and export. Not checked on Core or Pro: Brand Command's four rates, revenue attribution, crawler analytics, Site 360, API access, and the AEO success strategist row. Support is email on Core and Pro, and email plus Slack on Enterprise. Core's card still says "AEO strategist support." The table row with that name is Enterprise only. I would attach the table to the invoice, and I would ask what the 30-minute call actually includes.

Action credits are 50, 100, and 100 or more a month. The scorecard tracks 10, 30, and 60 or more pages. Agent tokens are 40 million, 100 million, and 300 million or more. The FAQ says a short agent answer uses fewer tokens than a multi-step dig, and that the limit flexes as the agent gains abilities. I did not run one, so I cannot say what a brief costs. Fifty actions is not fifty published articles. The features page mentions Reddit and YouTube inside outreach. The social agent is still unchecked on Core.

Commerce is a similar split. The Pro card says SKU-level visibility on 5 or more models. The commerce engine list under the table names ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Mode, Alexa, and Sparky. That is five names, which matches the "5 or more" line, and it is not the same five as Core's visibility engines. Core's commerce row is not checked. The features page describes ChatGPT Shopping, Amazon Rufus, Perplexity Shopping, AI Mode Shopping, and what it calls emerging AI commerce platforms. Rufus is in that sentence. Rufus is not in the pricing column I read. I would not promise Rufus on a Core trial, and I would not promise it on Pro until it shows up in the account.

MCP is checked on every brand column, and the features FAQ draws a hard line around it. The connection can be used from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor. It is read-only. It can reference the data. It cannot change settings or trigger actions. API access, which would be the path into your own dashboards, is the Enterprise check. A Core buyer who wants the numbers in a warehouse still has a gap. Export, which would be the manual version of that gap, starts at Pro.

The features page says Goodie tracks share of voice, sentiment, citations, and mentions, including by persona. Persona is not a pricing-table column. The pricing FAQ defines visibility as how often the brand is cited, and its examples include Gemini, which is not a Core engine. I did not find a formula that keeps a mention rate and a citation rate apart. I would not add them, and I would not brief one "visibility" number without the label under the chart.

The features page also says its research set includes 200 million AI citations. I did not audit that count. The same FAQ says Goodie is both software and a service, with forward-deployed experts. The Core card is still a 7-day software trial. The expert time I can see on the table is a 30-minute call, not a retained program.

What Does Profound Include Before a Quote?

Profound's brand pricing page has two columns. Trial is free: limited AI Marketer credits, 50 prompts run daily for 7 days, on ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, one language, one region, no shopping row, no history, and no export. Enterprise is custom: a tailored prompt plan, up to 9 answer engines, CSV and JSON, API, unlimited seats, and SSO/SAML plus SOC 2. The capability list is ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini, DeepSeek, Anthropic Claude, Google AI Overviews, Exa Search, and Muse Spark. Support on Enterprise includes email, a dedicated Slack channel, and a specialist with a 24 hour SLA. Prompt Volumes is 5 searches on the trial. I am not treating an integration name as a report I have seen.

The FAQ matches the trial and then draws the prompt line. Trial users get a recommended set for their industry and cannot customize it. On Enterprise you can edit, disable, or add prompts. Both plans include unlimited seats. Setup, in that FAQ, is "instant." The citation page says most teams are tracking citations within a day, and that hands-on onboarding aims at a first citation report in the first week. I am quoting both. I did not time a setup.

The page does not say whether each of the 50 trial prompts runs on all three engines or the 50 runs are spread across them. I am not multiplying 50 by 3 by 7. That is a day-one question, while the prompts are still Profound's list.

Agents are credits, not articles. The FAQ says each run consumes credits by complexity, the trial includes limited credits, and Agency Growth includes 400 credits a month per client workspace. More credit requires Enterprise. The FAQ does not print a price per credit, a price for Agency Growth, or a price for a brand plan. I am not inventing one. The Agents page describes refreshes, FAQ drafts, competitive briefs, and net-new articles. That is a workflow, not a published article count. I would not leave it alone on a regulated page. I did not run an agent.

Citations, share of voice, and the model list that does not match

The citation page is the measurement object. Every cited source gets a category: Owned, Competitor, Earned Media, PR Wire, Social, or Institution. Owned, Competitor, and Custom are yours to define. The rest are auto-assigned and can be overridden. You can look at citation share by platform, topic, or prompt. Watched pages track citation volume on one URL. Earned-media filtering is aimed at publishers and authors. The page says you can export CSV or JSON, or hand the finding to an agent. The pricing table puts exports on Enterprise and marks the trial as none. The feature exists. The trial column does not include the export.

One sentence on that page needs a careful read. The FAQ says citations are how answer engines anchor responses to sources, and that when your content is cited, your brand appears in the response users see. Goodie's features page talks about citations and mentions as things the product can track. Profound's sentence, as I read it, ties the citation to the brand appearing. I will not pretend those are the same metric. In a trial I would ask to see one stored answer where the URL is cited and the brand is not named, and one where the brand is named and the URL is not. The pricing table says the trial has no export, so that test may have to happen on screen.

Answer Engine Insights describes visibility score, share of voice, sentiment, citation authority, and FactCheck for inaccurate claims. It says analysis reflects what millions of people ask, that you can use Profound's query dataset or upload your own prompts, and that every tracked prompt runs daily because the engines do not return the same answer twice. It says other tools use APIs and Profound captures the browser. The FAQ says the models queried are the front ends of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Google Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek. That is also nine names. It is not the pricing page's nine. Copilot and Grok are on this FAQ and not on the pricing capability list. Exa Search and Muse Spark are on the pricing list and not on this FAQ. "Up to 9" is a ceiling. It is not a contents list. I would put the engine names on the order form.

The same FAQ says you can modify or add prompts at any time. The pricing FAQ says trial users cannot customize prompts. Both sentences are on Profound's site. The pricing page is the plan gate. The product FAQ reads like the paid product. Regions are a similar split. The product FAQ says 30 or more languages and 150 or more regions. The trial is one language and one region. Enterprise is custom. I would not promise 150 regions on a trial. A separate sentence says Profound monitors RAG-based responses from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews. That is four names, not nine. I am not folding Copilot into the trial because a methodology sentence mentions it.

The older price is still on the site, and it is not the pricing page. On 8 November 2026 I opened Profound's post "Making Answer Engine Optimization accessible to every business." The page dates it 21 October 2025. The post says new pricing starts at $99 a month, and it describes a Starter plan that tracks what ChatGPT says, plus sentiment and cited pages, and a Growth plan with more coverage and content tools. The pricing page I opened the same day has no Starter column and no $99 line. I am not going to invoice a 2025 blog post against a 2026 pricing page. If a sales rep offers the old Starter, ask them to show it on the pricing URL. Until it is there, the published brand offer is a free week and a quote.

What Does the Agency Page Change?

Goodie's agency page is a different card, and I read it because multi-brand buyers get sent there. With annual billing selected, Growth showed $275 a month. The schema offer named "Agency Growth (billed annually)" is $3,300 a year, described as $275 a month with two months free. Another offer on that page is a three-month price of $990, and the page text I found says $330 a month billed quarterly. The card itself says the monthly cost shown is billed quarterly or annually. Ten times $330 is $3,300. Three times $330 is $990. I am citing those figures from the page and the schema. I did not check out.

Growth includes 10 pitch workspaces a month. The FAQ says a pitch workspace runs for 7 days, covers the top 3 models, and tracks 30 prompts. The table names those models as ChatGPT, AI Overview, and Perplexity, with 1 country and 1 language, collected daily. That is a sales prop, not a client program. The client-workspace add-on is marked "from $399 a month" on the table, and the FAQ says a won client is billed on one of the three brand plans starting at $399 a month. The schema offer for that add-on has a minimum of $399 and points at the brand pricing URL.

The brand page I opened the same day does not show $399. Core is $295 a month on the annual view and $354 on the monthly offer. Pro is $999 or $1,198.80. None of those is $399. I will not pick a winner. If you are buying a brand plan, use the brand page. If a contract cites the agency FAQ, the floor in that FAQ is $399, and it does not match either Core figure. Ask Goodie which number is on the order form before you tell a client what the workspace costs.

The agency FAQ draws another engine line that does not match the brand FAQ. It says Agency Growth client workspaces track three models, ChatGPT, AI Overview, and Perplexity, and that Agency Enterprise gets up to 12 models, configurable per client, including Amazon Alexa and AI Mode as examples. The brand FAQ says Enterprise is all 14 engines. Twelve and fourteen are not the same ceiling. I would write the engine names into the statement of work.

Profound's agency path, on the pricing FAQ, is the 400-credit Agency Growth workspace and then Enterprise for more credits. There is no dollar next to it. An agency comparing a Goodie Growth invoice it can read with a Profound credit pack it cannot price is not comparing two quotes yet. Make both vendors price three brands, in writing, with the engine list attached.

Which Limits Actually Change the Decision?

Four limits matter more than the feature tour.

The first is the engine you can name before a demo. Goodie Core is five engines, and Gemini, Claude, and Grok are not among them. Gemini arrives on Pro, which is a conversation, not the trial button. Claude, Grok, Meta, DeepSeek, and Muse sit in the enterprise column I counted, under an "up to 14" card that I could not fully list. Profound's free week is ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, on prompts you did not write. If the buyer question lives in Perplexity or Copilot, Core can name them and the Profound trial cannot. If it lives in Gemini, the Profound trial can name it and Core cannot. If it lives in Claude or Grok, neither self-serve card I read will cover it. For a published-price log with a different mix, read the Otterly review and Peec AI vs Scrunch before you treat either of these two as the only path.

The second is whose prompts they are. Goodie's FAQ says you can swap prompts up to the cap, including on the plan that starts without a sales call. I still want to see the editor inside the 7-day trial, because the same FAQ says Goodie recommends the starting set. Profound's pricing FAQ says the trial set cannot be edited. Seven days of someone else's prompts can show whether an answer is stored. It cannot show the fee question a sales team heard on Tuesday. Editable prompts, on Profound's pricing FAQ, start at Enterprise.

The third is the page. Goodie checks a content writer, an optimizer, a blog generator, outreach, and a technical agent on Core, inside 50 actions and 10 tracked pages. That is a sample of a program, not a newsroom. The social agent, export, and commerce checks are not on that card. Profound's path from a citation gap to a brief is an agent, metered in credits, and the pricing page does not print an article count or a brand-plan price. If you need the draft with a number on the card, Goodie has the number and the cap. If you need the citation file after a security review, Profound is built as that conversation. Neither one should publish a fee table unsupervised.

The fourth is evidence. Goodie's features page uses mentions and citations as separate words, and the pricing FAQ defines visibility as being cited. Profound's citation FAQ ties a citation to the brand appearing, while Answer Engine Insights also describes a visibility score. Buy the row you will open on Monday. Do not buy the sample percentage on the marketing page. I did not open a stored answer in either product on 8 November 2026.

Honest Verdict: Who Should Pick Which, and Who Should Skip

Pick from the price you can read, the engine on the card, and who has to approve the sentence.

• You want a published price and the report is ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, AI Mode, and Copilot. Goodie Core is the card that names those five, with 110 prompts and a 7-day trial. Do not assume Gemini, Claude, or Grok are on it. Do not assume the social agent, commerce, export, or API are on it. The table leaves those unchecked.
• You need Gemini, Alexa, or Sparky, plus export. That is Pro on the table I read, and Pro starts with a demo, not the trial button. Sentiment is already on Core. Commerce and export are why Pro exists. API, revenue attribution, and Brand Command's four rates are still Enterprise.
• You need Claude, Grok, Copilot, or your own prompts before a sales call. Not Profound's trial. Profound's trial is three engines and a locked prompt list. Goodie Core can name Copilot and cannot name Claude or Grok. Enterprise on either product only after you have seen one stored answer and written the engine names down. The two lists of nine on Profound's site still do not match.
• The purchase is SSO, an export, and a security review. Profound Enterprise is built as that conversation: SSO/SAML, SOC 2, CSV and JSON, your own prompts. Goodie Enterprise is the column that checks API, and the FAQ names SSO/SAML even though the card I read emphasized SOC 2. Reconcile the engine ceiling, 12 on the agency FAQ or 14 on the brand FAQ, before you sign.
• An agency is pitching, not running the program yet. Goodie Growth is a price I could read, with 10 seven-day pitch workspaces on three models. The client workspace is a second bill, and the agency page's "from $399" does not match the brand Core card. Profound's 400 credits a month per workspace has no dollar. Price three brands before you pick.
• Fintech, payments, payroll, lending, or a B2B SaaS product with a fee table. Prefer the screen that shows the sentence next to the source. Do not let an agent publish the fee. On a live account, Austin Heaton still reads the page before it ships.
• You want measurement and you do not want a content suite. Profound is closer, once a quote exists. Goodie's self-serve price includes the action layer whether you use the 50 actions or not. A suite toolkit with a different shape is the Semrush AI Toolkit review. Writesonic's published article allowance, next to Profound, is the Writesonic comparison.

A tool subscription and an engagement are different bills. This page is only the tool. If the choice is a person rather than a login, the comparisons live on the compare page.

What I Could Not Confirm

• A checkout receipt. Core's visible annual card is $295 a month. The schema's monthly offer is $354. An attribute on the page calls that same $354 figure quarterly. I did not pay either amount.
• That Enterprise includes 14 named engines. The card says up to 14. The column I counted named 13. The features FAQ says 14 surfaces. The agency FAQ says up to 12 on Agency Enterprise. Instinct appears in the footer model list and not in the enterprise column I read.
• That Amazon Rufus is on a plan. The features page names it. The pricing commerce list I read does not.
• What "AEO strategist support" means on Core and Pro. The cards say it. The strategist row is checked on Enterprise only.
• A Profound price for a brand plan, for a credit, or for Agency Growth. The October 2025 post still says $99 a month. The pricing page does not.
• Which nine engines Profound Enterprise includes. The pricing capability list and the Answer Engine Insights FAQ do not match.
• That trial users on Profound can edit prompts. The product FAQ says yes. The pricing FAQ says trial users cannot.
• A logged-in answer in either product on 8 November 2026, or a test of Profound's consumer-interface claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is the better fit for AI visibility, Goodie or Profound?

Goodie is the better fit when the team wants a published price, a counted prompt allowance, and an action layer in the same login, and the engines on the Core or Pro column are the ones that matter. Profound is the better fit when the purchase is a security review, the prompt list has to be yours after a trial, and the reporting has to survive an enterprise questionnaire. Neither one is a citation guarantee.

Which engines does Goodie Core track?

The pricing comparison column for Core names ChatGPT, AI Overview, Perplexity, AI Mode, and Copilot. Pro adds Gemini, Alexa, and Sparky. The features FAQ says the product tracks 14 AI surfaces. The enterprise card says up to 14, and the column I counted named fewer than that. I am not treating the features FAQ as the Core engine list.

How do the two products count a mention versus a citation?

Goodie's features page says the product tracks share of voice, sentiment, citations, and mentions. Goodie's pricing FAQ defines visibility as how often the brand is cited. Profound's Answer Engine Insights page describes a visibility score and citations as parts of the same product. Profound's citation FAQ also ties a citation to the brand appearing in the response. I would not treat those sentences as one shared formula.

What does Goodie add beyond a measurement log?

A capped action layer: content writing, optimization, blog generation, outreach, and a technical agent on the self-serve plan, with a monthly action credit and a page cap. Social, commerce, and export are not checked on that plan. API access, revenue attribution, and Brand Command's rate metrics are on the enterprise column. Profound's content path is Agents, priced in credits, not a published article count.

How is each product priced in November 2026?

Goodie's brand page prints an annual price and a higher monthly offer for Core and for Pro, and it describes annual billing as two months free. Enterprise is custom. The agency page prints its own Growth price and a client-workspace floor that does not match the Core card. Profound's brand pricing page is a free trial and a custom Enterprise plan. I did not find a paid self-serve dollar price for a Profound brand plan on that page. An older Profound post still names one. I am not using it as the invoice.

Who should skip the self-serve plans?

Skip Goodie Core if Gemini, Claude, or Grok have to be in the log, or if you need export, the social agent, or commerce on day one. Skip Profound's trial if you need to edit the prompts, export the week, or track Perplexity or Copilot. A published-price log with a different engine mix is a separate review, and the four-tool shortlist is a separate page.

Can either product guarantee an AI citation?

No. Goodie's pages describe monitoring, actions, and measurement. That is a product description, not a promise I can put on a client report. Profound collects citation data and can hand a finding to an agent. Publishing the page, and being the URL a model repeats, are separate jobs.
