Compiled from each vendor’s public pricing page: Goodie AI figures from higoodie.com/pricing, checked October 9, 2026; Profound figures from www.tryprofound.com/pricing, checked September 25, 2026. Goodie AI: Core covers five engines with 120 prompts. Profound: a free 7-day trial on three engines, then a custom Enterprise contract. “Not published” marks a row the vendor does not state publicly; it is not a “no”. Cituna checks all seven engines daily and does not track Microsoft Copilot. MCP read tools are included from $39, write tools from Pro ($119); MCP is not exclusive to us.

Published entry-tier price per month from each vendor’s pricing page (dates in the matrix note above). Read it against what each tier includes, a lower price can mean fewer engines or prompts.

The four engines coverage varies most on. A dash-ringed “?” means we have not confirmed that vendor’s position on that engine (shown as “Not published” in the matrix), never a no we have not earned.

Reading the difference

The confirmed capability split between these two is narrow enough to state exactly: Goodie AI covers Search Console integration and an MCP server and Profound does not. That is the whole difference on the rows both vendors publish, everything else in the matrix either matches or is unpublished by one of them, and an unpublished row is not a “no”.

The tier ladders are worth reading side by side, because the entry price means something different on each. Goodie AI: Core $399 (5 engines, 120 prompts) · Pro $999 (8 engines, 250 prompts) · Enterprise custom (up to 13 engines). Profound: Free 7-day trial (3 engines, 50 prompts a day) · Enterprise, price not published (up to 9 engines). Read each ladder against the engines you actually need, since one side names no price to compare.

They also genuinely overlap on Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews and generated fixes, so those rows should not carry weight in the decision even though both vendors market them.

One practical difference that does not appear in any feature list: Profound sells a custom contract with no published price, while Goodie AI puts its price on its pricing page. Ask Profound for a quote on your prompt volume before treating the two as comparable on cost.

Which to choose

Choose Cituna if…

For seven AI engines checked daily and the fixes written, on one plan from $39 a month, the pick is Cituna rather than Goodie AI or Profound.

  • ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, all seven checked daily on the $39 Starter
  • the generated fixes to close the gaps, and articles written and published to your site
  • a Search Console integration to prove the result; Goodie AI has one too
  • MCP access from the $39 Starter; Goodie AI offers it too

What you give up:

  • Microsoft Copilot, which Goodie AI and Profound (enterprise) track and Cituna does not
  • SSO and SOC 2 for a security review, plus demand-level prompt-volume data, which Profound offers

Choose Goodie AI if…

Goodie AI is a content-heavy platform sold at the top of the self-serve range. Against Profound specifically, it publishes its price ($399 a month at entry) where Profound does not and it covers more engines at entry (5 against 3 on the trial).

  • a 7-day free trial of Core, the one plan you can start without a demo
  • fifty optimization actions a month and an MCP server included on Core
  • eight tracked models on Pro and up to 13 on Enterprise, for teams that outgrow the five on Core

What you give up:

  • a $399 entry with no smaller brand plan beneath it, and Core tracks five models, without Gemini, Claude or Grok
  • the pricing page does not name the models Pro and Enterprise add, so check before paying for Gemini, Claude or Grok
  • Pro and Enterprise are sold through a demo, so only Core can be started as a free trial

Choose Profound if…

Profound is the enterprise option, sold on a custom contract. Against Goodie AI specifically, it publishes no price (the cost is set by contract) and it covers fewer engines at entry (3 on the trial against 5).

  • enterprise depth: demand-level prompt-volume data, agent analytics and conversation-level data
  • an Enterprise contract with all-time history, CSV and JSON exports, an API, unlimited seats, SSO and SOC 2, the items a security review asks for
  • a free 7-day trial, 50 prompts a day on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, to see your exposure before a sales conversation

What you give up:

  • no self-serve plan for brands: past the free trial, every plan is a custom Enterprise contract with no published price
  • the trial runs a prompt set Profound recommends for your industry, which you cannot edit, and keeps no history, exports or API
  • Grok is not on its engine list, and there is no Search Console integration, so AI-visibility movement is never tied back to real search clicks inside the product

Frequently asked questions

Goodie AI vs Profound: which should I choose?

Profound publishes no price for its paid plan: a free 7-day trial on three engines, then a custom Enterprise contract. Goodie AI starts at $399 a month, so the cost comparison starts with a quote from Profound. Goodie AI covers Search Console integration and an MCP server where Profound does not. For seven AI engines checked daily and the fixes written on one plan, rather than a choice between Goodie AI and Profound, the pick is Cituna, from $39 a month. If Microsoft Copilot is a requirement, Goodie AI and Profound (enterprise) track it and Cituna does not. If you need SSO and SOC 2 for a security review, plus demand-level prompt-volume data, Profound offers them.

Is Goodie AI or Profound cheaper?

Goodie AI publishes its price: $399 a month at entry (higoodie.com/pricing, checked October 9, 2026). Profound publishes none: a free 7-day trial on three engines, then a custom Enterprise contract (www.tryprofound.com/pricing, checked September 25, 2026). Comparing the two on cost starts with a quote from Profound. Cituna is $39/mo flat for all seven engines with no engine held back for a higher tier.

Does Goodie AI or Profound cover more AI engines?

Goodie AI, on published entry-tier counts: 5 against 3 on the trial for Profound. Engine counts are the most misread number in this category, so check what the entry tier actually includes rather than the total the site advertises, Goodie AI’s entry tier Core covers five engines with 120 prompts. Cituna publishes one number for this: seven engines, all of them on the $39 tier, all checked daily.

Do Goodie AI and Profound track Claude and Grok?

Goodie AI does not publish whether it tracks Claude and does not publish whether it tracks Grok (as of October 9, 2026). Profound tracks Claude (enterprise) and does not track Grok (as of September 25, 2026). Both engines are included in Cituna’s $39 Starter and checked daily, which is the gap this comparison most often turns on, Grok in particular is a blind spot across much of this category.
