Goodie AI vs Profound
Goodie AI and Profound both promise to tell you how AI engines treat your brand, but they sit on either side of a real line. Goodie publishes a price, covers a wide engine set, and bundles content production so findings turn into pages. Profound goes deeper on citation analysis and reporting, and expects you to bring your own content team and a procurement process. The choice is usually settled by whether you have budget approval or need to start this quarter.
Goodie AI
AEO platform with tiered engine coverage — five on Core, eight on Pro, up to 12 on Enterprise — plus visibility scoring, citation intelligence, AI traffic attribution and GEO content creation, from $399/mo.
Strengths
- Published prices on two tiers — Core $399/mo, Pro $999/mo
- Up to 12 models on Enterprise, including Claude, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI
- Monitoring plus content production in one platform
Limitations
- $399/mo entry is steep for a lean team
- Pro and Enterprise tiers are priced by demo
- Broad AEO surface you may only partly use
Profound
Enterprise AI search analytics with citation source analysis and reporting depth, sold through a sales-led process.
Strengths
- Citation source analysis is the deepest in the category
- Enterprise-grade reporting and stakeholder dashboards
- Mature platform with an established enterprise customer base
Limitations
- Sales-led pricing with no public tiers
- Longer procurement and implementation cycle
- No bundled content production

Verdict
Choose Goodie AI if you want to start without a sales cycle, you would actually use the content engine, and the five engines on its Core tier cover where your buyers ask — at $399/mo with a 7-day free trial, the risk of trying it is low. Note that Claude, Meta and Grok sit on the Enterprise tier, not Core. Choose Profound if citation source analysis is the core deliverable, if you need enterprise reporting that stands up in a board deck, and if the budget is already approved. If you already have a content team, a meaningful part of what you pay Goodie for goes unused, which narrows the gap in Profound's favour.
Looking for a third option?
Perciva — Buyer-Intent AI Monitoring
Neither tool is wrong here, and neither is beaten by a third option on the question this page asks. Worth knowing as a different shape of product: Perciva monitors buyer-intent prompts for B2B SaaS specifically, keeps the verbatim AI answer as evidence, extracts individual claims about pricing, integrations, and security, and alerts when a competitor displaces you — from €49/mo, with no content engine and a narrower engine set than Goodie.

Frequently asked
Which is cheaper?
Goodie AI, and it is the only one of the two that publishes a number: $399/mo for the Core plan, self-serve, with a 7-day free trial. Pro is $999/mo and Enterprise is quoted after a demo. Profound publishes no price at all. Verified on higoodie.com on 16 September 2026.
Do they cover the same AI engines?
Goodie's coverage is tiered. Core ($399/mo) covers ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, AI Mode and Copilot; Pro ($999/mo) adds Gemini, Alexa and Sparky; Claude, Meta, DeepSeek and Grok arrive only on Enterprise, which lists up to 12 models. Profound covers a broad set as well but publishes no prices, so Goodie's breadth is the easier claim to price.
Does Goodie replace Profound's citation analysis?
Not entirely. Goodie includes citation intelligence and AI traffic attribution, which covers the common cases. Profound's citation source analysis goes deeper and is the main reason enterprise teams pay its price.
