Different products for different markets
Profound is built for Fortune 500 marketing teams with compliance requirements, budget for $399+/month, and need for real-time tracking and enterprise integrations.
Mentionable is built for solopreneurs who want to know if AI recommends them, without paying enterprise prices or navigating compliance workflows.
If you're choosing between them, budget and use case should make the decision straightforward.
Which one fits you?
Mentionable works well if you're a solopreneur or small team, want all 5 LLMs for €89/month, don't need SOC 2 or SSO, prefer prompt suggestions over manual setup, and find daily or weekly updates sufficient.
Profound works well if you're at a Fortune 500 or large enterprise, your company requires SOC 2 compliance, you need SSO and enterprise security, have budget for $399+/month, and real-time visibility tracking is essential to your operations.
These tools aren't really competing for the same customer. If you're enterprise with compliance needs and budget, Profound is the market leader. If you're a solopreneur who wants simple, affordable AI visibility tracking, Mentionable exists for you.
