Compiled from each vendor’s public pricing page: Profound figures from www.tryprofound.com/pricing, checked September 25, 2026; Trakkr figures from trakkr.ai/pricing, checked October 1, 2026. 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: Profound covers Microsoft Copilot (enterprise) and Trakkr does not; Trakkr covers Grok 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 That is the whole difference on the rows both vendors publish, everything else in the matrix either matches or is unpublished by one of them, and an unpublished row is not a “no”.

Worth knowing before you shortlist either: neither Profound nor Trakkr offers Search Console integration. If any of those is a requirement, this comparison is the wrong shortlist and you should widen it rather than pick the better of two tools that both miss what you need.

The tier ladders are worth reading side by side, because the entry price means something different on each. Profound: Free 7-day trial (3 engines, 50 prompts a day) · Enterprise, price not published (up to 9 engines). Trakkr: From $100/mo. Read each ladder against the engines you actually need, since one side names no price to compare.

They also genuinely overlap on Claude, 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 Trakkr 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 Profound or Trakkr.

  • 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; neither Profound nor Trakkr offers one
  • MCP access from the $39 Starter; Trakkr offers it too

What you give up:

  • Microsoft Copilot, which Profound (enterprise) tracks and Cituna does not
  • SSO and SOC 2 for a security review, plus demand-level prompt-volume data, which Profound offers
  • more engines, which Trakkr lists

Choose Profound if…

Profound is the enterprise option, sold on a custom contract. Against Trakkr specifically, it publishes no price (the cost is set by contract) and it covers fewer engines at entry (3 on the trial against 8).

  • 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

Choose Trakkr if…

Trakkr is daily checks across eight engines with an MCP server included. Against Profound specifically, it publishes its price ($100 a month at entry) where Profound does not and it covers more engines at entry (8 against 3 on the trial).

  • eight engines checked daily, including Claude, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI
  • an MCP server at entry: one of the few tools besides us to ship one without an upgrade
  • a 14-day trial, the longest evaluation window among the tools here

What you give up:

  • no Microsoft Copilot coverage
  • no Search Console integration, so results stop at the AI layer
  • a $100 entry with no smaller tier beneath it

Frequently asked questions

Profound vs Trakkr: 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. Trakkr starts at $100 a month, so the cost comparison starts with a quote from Profound. Profound covers Microsoft Copilot (enterprise) where Trakkr does not. Trakkr covers Grok and an MCP server where Profound does not. For a Search Console integration, which neither Profound nor Trakkr offers, plus seven AI engines checked daily and the fixes written, the pick is Cituna, from $39 a month. If Microsoft Copilot is a requirement, Profound (enterprise) tracks 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 Profound or Trakkr cheaper?

Trakkr publishes its price: $100 a month at entry (trakkr.ai/pricing, checked October 1, 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 Profound or Trakkr cover more AI engines?

Trakkr, on published entry-tier counts: 8 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. Cituna publishes one number for this: seven engines, all of them on the $39 tier, all checked daily.

Do Profound and Trakkr track Claude and Grok?

Profound tracks Claude (enterprise) and does not track Grok (as of September 25, 2026). Trakkr tracks Claude and tracks Grok (as of October 1, 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.
