Peec AI and Profound both start at $99/month and target marketing teams with budget. But they emphasize completely different capabilities. Peec brings sentiment analysis and GDPR compliance. Profound brings real-time tracking and SOC 2 certification.
Same starting price, very different value propositions.
What you get at $99/month
At Peec AI's Starter tier, you get 25 prompts across 3 LLMs, plus their sentiment analysis features. Claude and Gemini tracking requires paid add-ons.
At Profound's Starter tier, you get 50 prompts but only ChatGPT. Just one platform at the entry level. To get 3 LLMs, you need Growth at $399/month. Full coverage across 10 LLMs requires Enterprise.
So Peec gives you fewer prompts but more LLMs. Profound gives you more prompts but fewer LLMs. And Peec includes sentiment analysis that Profound doesn't offer at all.
Where Peec AI stands out
Sentiment analysis is Peec's core differentiator. They don't just report whether AI mentions your brand. They tell you how AI describes it. Positive, neutral, or negative? That's valuable context for brand management that Profound doesn't provide.
Peec also tracks which pages and content drive your AI mentions. If you're planning content strategy, understanding source attribution helps you make informed decisions about where to invest.
For European operations, Peec was built in Berlin with GDPR as a foundational requirement. If your organization needs EU data handling compliance, Peec is designed for that conversation from the start.
They support 115+ languages, which matters for international brands operating across diverse markets.
Where Profound stands out
Real-time tracking is Profound's technical edge. Visibility updates happen as changes occur, not on a schedule. For teams that need to catch changes immediately, that speed matters.
Profound's compliance credentials target Fortune 500 procurement: SOC 2 Type II certification, SSO with SAML/OIDC support. If your organization requires these certifications before approving any vendor, Profound checks those boxes.
They've earned G2 Leader status for AEO tools, providing third-party validation from enterprise users.
At the $99/month tier, Profound includes more prompts (50 vs 25), though the single-LLM limitation is significant.
Which one fits you?
Peec AI makes sense if sentiment analysis matters to your brand strategy, you need documented GDPR compliance for European operations, 3 LLMs at $99/month is more valuable than 1 LLM with more prompts, source tracking would inform your content decisions, and you're operating primarily in European markets.
Profound makes sense if SOC 2 compliance is a procurement requirement, real-time tracking (not scheduled updates) is essential, SSO/SAML is needed for enterprise identity, Fortune 500 procurement processes are involved, and you need more prompts at the entry tier.
The bottom line
Same starting price, completely different strengths.
Peec AI tells you how AI perceives your brand. That sentiment layer is differentiated and valuable for brand management.
Profound tells you in real-time whether AI mentions you, with enterprise compliance documentation to prove the data is trustworthy.
If you need sentiment understanding, Peec. If you need compliance and speed, Profound.
