What changed

## Profound no longer sells a self-serve plan to brands

In mid-September 2026, Profound removed its self-serve brand plans. Starter cost $99 a month for 50 prompts on ChatGPT, and Growth cost $399 a month for 100 prompts on three answer engines, both billed annually.

Its pricing page now lists a free trial, with 50 prompts tracked daily for 7 days, and an Enterprise plan at a custom price with up to 9 answer engines. Agencies can still subscribe to a self-serve Agency Growth plan.

| AI assistants | ChatGPT and Gemini | Trial: ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. Enterprise: up to 9 answer engines |
| How often | Every week | Every day |
| Tracked questions | 50 per domain on Starter, 100 on Growth | 50 on the trial, custom on Enterprise |
| Seats | One on Starter, team invitations on Growth | Unlimited |

Be fair

## When Profound is the better choice

Pick Profound if you need daily tracking, more than two AI assistants, SSO or a dedicated specialist, and your budget covers an enterprise contract. Sommet asks ChatGPT and Gemini your questions once a week. It does not track Perplexity, Claude, Copilot or Google AI Overviews.

Actions

## A short list of what to change, most useful first.

Sommet turns what the assistants missed into actions on your own pages. Each one names the search, the page and the change to make.

- The searches ChatGPT ran for answers that left you out, with where you rank for them on Google.
- Search results to rewrite and pages close to page one, from your Search Console data.
- Mark a fix done and Sommet compares its clicks and position over the following month.
