Side by side, dimension by dimension
| Dimension | EdenRank | Profound |
|---|---|---|
| Engines tracked | Free includes 3 engines, Starter includes 6, and Growth through Agency include all 10 current engines. The no-signup checker samples 8 core engines. | Starter tracks ChatGPT, Growth tracks 3 engines, and Enterprise supports up to 10. |
| Mentioned vs cited | Strict separation. "Cited" means an AI answer used YOUR page as a source - not any mention, not any citation of someone else. Every rate ships with its denominator. | Defines visibility as brand presence and Citation Share as one citation divided by all citations. |
| Action layer | Bounded agents can publish owned Answer Hub assets when explicitly enabled. Outreach and third-party submissions stay approval-first, then verification reruns follow. | Profound Agents provide configurable content and optimization workflows on a monthly credit model. |
| Proof a change worked | Verification compares like-for-like reruns, enforces minimum samples, and returns "insufficient data" when the evidence does not support a conclusion. | Trend charts show movement; establishing that YOUR change caused it is left to you. |
| Public evidence | The public evidence page shows current measured samples, exact denominators, and outcome labels that follow the recorded evidence. | Use each vendor's public methodology, documentation, and customer evidence to validate its claims. |
| Publishing controls | Owned publishing is permissioned per workspace. Third-party outreach remains draft-and-approve, and generated claims are checked against stored brand facts. | Review each platform's approval, publishing, brand-fact, and audit-log controls for your own risk model. |
| Entry price | Free plan at $0; Starter from $59/mo includes 6 engines; Growth at $149/mo and above includes all 10. The 8-engine checker requires no signup. | Starter is $99/mo billed yearly for ChatGPT and 50 prompts. Growth is $399/mo billed yearly for 3 engines and 100 prompts. Enterprise is custom with up to 10 engines. |
