Enterprise depth without the enterprise contract.
Profound is an enterprise AI visibility platform. Profound's free trial is self-serve and covers three engines; its only paid plan, Enterprise, is quoted by sales and covers up to nine. SKYA publishes a price for every plan: Starter at $59 a month on 4 AI platforms, and Brand Pro at $199 on all 9, with hallucination audits and one-click technical fixes on WordPress included.
If you need a price you can plan around below enterprise budgets, SKYA publishes one for every plan. If you need nine engines under one enterprise contract with SSO and all-time history, Profound is built for that.
Profound's position: Enterprise AI visibility platform. A free, self-serve 7-day trial covers ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. Enterprise, the only paid plan, is quoted by sales and adds up to nine engines, SSO, SOC 2, API access and all-time history. Named customers on its site include Plaid, MongoDB, Ramp and Zoom.

A tick marks the side that leads on that row. No tick means the two are even, or not directly comparable. Profound facts checked on 25 September 2026 against tryprofound.com/pricing and tryprofound.com. A cell that carries its own date was read again on that date.
An honest, feature-level breakdown of both platforms across the pillars that actually move the needle for answer engine optimization.
SKYA tracks up to 9 AI platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode, DeepSeek, Grok, Copilot. Starter covers 4, Agency 7, and Brand Pro at $199 and Agency Pro all 9. Profound's pricing page lists nine engines on Enterprise, its custom-quote plan. Its free trial covers three. The two lists differ by one each: SKYA reads Grok, Profound reads Exa Search.
SKYA writes a fix for every finding and, on WordPress, installs schema, meta tags, sitemap, robots and llms.txt in one click. Eight headless stacks take the output as an unpublished draft (seven of them in beta), and Shopify and Webflow take the head fixes their platforms allow through the SKYA apps. Profound's agents rewrite pages that are losing citations and stage them in your CMS for approval. Both keep a person in the loop before anything goes live.
SKYA's Hallucination agent asks the AI assistants on your plan a 38-prompt library, 3 on Starter and up to 7 on Agency Pro, checks each claim against your own facts, and hands you the correction for every one that is false. It is included on every paid plan. Profound lists a FactCheck agent that traces inaccurate claims back to the publishers repeating them and drafts a correction for each.
SKYA is self-serve on every plan. Enter a domain. The first answers land within minutes of setup, and every tracked prompt has its first reading within 24 hours on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overview. AI Visibility and Competitors' Intelligence, each in its own menu, then update on a schedule. The four agents run when you start them: On-Page Audit is included in every plan, the other three use one credit per run, and a deep Hallucination Audit uses four. Profound's free trial is self-serve too; its Enterprise plan, the only paid one, goes through sales.
SKYA publishes every plan in USD, with tax worked out at checkout wherever you buy. Profound publishes a free trial and quotes Enterprise, its only paid plan, on request, which is normal for enterprise software but leaves a growth-stage brand or agency without a price to plan around.
This is where Profound leads. Its Enterprise plan lists all-time historical data, CSV and JSON exports, API access, SSO/SAML and SOC 2, and prompt volumes drawn from real user conversations. SKYA keeps up to two years per project from the day tracking starts, and does not offer SSO.
Every SKYA finding ends in something you can ship. The nine readiness checks each generate their fix; schema, meta tags, sitemap, robots and llms.txt install on WordPress in one click; Shopify takes schema, meta description, Open Graph and llms.txt through the SKYA app, and Webflow takes page titles, meta descriptions and Open Graph after you approve them; and any draft the Content Engine or the action plan writes carries a Publish to site button that creates an unpublished post or page in your own editor, on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow and Framer, and in beta on Ghost, Strapi, Directus, Payload, Sanity, Drupal and Adobe Experience Manager. Profound: agents rewrite pages and stage them in your cms for approval.
A SKYA audit that measured nothing is marked failed and refunds its credit; a reputation dimension without enough independent sources says Not scored instead of printing a number; every hallucination finding is checked against your own facts before it is called false; and the Reddit and citation counts are stored answers, never a rank. That is the difference between a dashboard you can put in front of a client and one you have to explain.
The Meta Ads Hub is included on every SKYA plan, Reddit Visibility (the threads AI cites and where a rival is named instead of you) is included from the Agency plan onwards and in Brand Pro, AI Shopping (your products inside AI shopping answers) is an add-on beside any plan, and Google Reviews (request links, QR codes, private feedback from unhappy customers, what AI platforms say about your reputation) is free on every plan. Profound: partial coverage, see the table above.
Schema, meta tags, sitemap, robots and llms.txt install in one click on WordPress, and drafts land in eight headless stacks, seven of them in beta. A finding ends in a fix you can ship, not a note for engineering.
AI Visibility and Competitors' Intelligence are core features, each in its own menu, updated on a schedule for every project; the four agents, On-Page Audit, Keyword Gap Analysis, Hallucination Audit and Brand Sentiment (Reputation), run when you start them: On-Page Audit is included in every plan, the other three use one credit per run, and a deep Hallucination Audit uses four.
Multi-brand roles (Viewer, Editor, Admin, Owner) and no-login share links on a self-serve plan, not behind an enterprise contract. PDF and Word exports and share links carry your logo, brand colour, header and footer.
Published USD pricing, prompts in up to 15 languages, by plan, and a self-serve 7-day trial. You can start, and pay, without a procurement cycle.
Nothing SKYA generates stays trapped in the tool. Copy it, or send it to your site as a draft and finish it in the editor you already use.
Visibility, fixes, content, ads, reviews and Reddit for every client, with seats and roles, a project switcher on every page, dated client-ready reports, and add-on products you can resell.
Starter $59/mo (4 platforms), Brand Pro $199/mo (all 9), Agency $239/mo (7 platforms), Agency Pro $649/mo (all 9). Save up to 15% on annual billing. 7-day free trial on Starter, no credit card.
