Decision table
What changes in practice.
| Decision point | Profound | Recometrix |
|---|---|---|
| Core workflow | Answer Engine Insights plus configurable Agents that can research, generate, optimize, and publish content. | Find the exact answer or source gap, preview a grounded draft, ship the deliverable, then grade movement against the targeted prompts and a control group. |
| AI coverage | Starter lists ChatGPT only; Growth lists ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews; Enterprise supports up to ten engines. | ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity are included on every paid plan. Grow and Agency add Grok plus grounded search variants. |
| Prompts and cadence | Starter lists 50 prompts and Growth 100, both tracked daily. Enterprise is custom. | Track runs 25 prompts weekly with repeated sampling. Grow runs daily pulses across 75 prompts per brand and weekly grounded deep audits. |
| Execution | Profound Agents provide a flexible node-based automation system with 100 Starter or 400 Growth credits per month. | Action credits produce opinionated deliverables grounded in the audit; the product then tracks shipment and targeted movement. |

| Seats and API | The public matrix lists 1 Starter seat, 3 Growth seats, and API access on Enterprise. | Unlimited seats on every paid plan. REST API and MCP are included on Grow and Agency. |
| Pricing posture | The public annual-billing page lists Starter at $99/month and Growth at $399/month; Enterprise is custom. | Track starts at $99/month; Grow is $349/month. Annual billing includes two months free. |

Open product examplesQuestions buyers ask.
Is Recometrix a Profound alternative?
Yes, for smaller teams and agencies that need monitoring plus execution without Profound's enterprise breadth. Profound remains the stronger fit for complex automation and enterprise infrastructure analytics.
Does Profound include content generation?
Yes. Profound's public plans include Agent credits, and its Agents product can research, generate, optimize, and publish content through configurable workflows.
Why would a team choose Recometrix instead?
The main reasons are unlimited seats, broader self-serve core-provider coverage, REST/MCP access on Grow, an opinionated action-to-outcome workflow, and open methodology.
