Comparison as of 8 September 2026 based on information on tryprofound.com.
Renomly
✅ Built for a business that wants to know whether AI recommends it, what it gets wrong, and what to fix first. Agencies run it for their clients.
Profound
❌ Built for growing companies and enterprises running campaigns across many engines.
✅ ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, every answer labelled by how it answered. Two engines on Starter, all five from Growth.
❌ ChatGPT only on the entry plan; three engines on Growth and Google AI Overviews on higher tiers.
✅ Every answer kept in full, so every mention, rival and wrong fact comes with the sentence it was found in. Only earned mentions count.
❌ Evidence for every mention is not a stated feature.
✅ Every claim AI makes about you is checked against your own website, with both quotes shown and wrong facts traced to their source.
❌ No fact check of AI claims against your website.
✅ A ranked fix list that starts with your own website, an AI-readiness audit, a known-versus-findable split (search on and off) and backlink authority via Ahrefs, on Growth and above.
✅ Agent traffic analytics, and AEO content tooling on Growth; no backlink data.
✅ A free first scan run by a person, then $29 a month for 2 tracked prompts, up to 100 on Agency. Every plan is published; you apply rather than sign up.
❌ $99 a month billed yearly, for one engine and 50 prompts; self-serve or demo.
Where Renomly is different
-
-
Renomly scores only the answers where the engine volunteered you. A mention on a prompt that already contains your name does not count, so the score cannot be flattered by the questions you choose.
-
Running discovery questions with web search on and off tells you whether the model has absorbed you or is merely looking you up, and the two need different fixes.
-
The output is a ranked plan that starts with your own website, not a dashboard for a team of analysts. Rescan a topic and watch the score move.
Renomly starts at $29 a month. Profound starts at $99/mo.
Profound starts at $99 a month billed yearly for ChatGPT only, with three engines on Growth and Google AI Overviews on higher tiers. Renomly's Starter is $29 a month with two engines and every plan includes the fact check and fix list.
