Profound measures the gap. Spacemen Digital closes it.
An honest side-by-side comparison. Updated May 2026.

Profound is an AI brand visibility monitoring platform. It tracks where a brand is mentioned across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot and Grok, surfaces share-of-voice trends, and identifies which prompts feature competitors more than the brand. Profound is a measurement product, not an agency.
Identical capabilities listed for both. No marketing language — just what each side can and cannot deliver.

Best-in-class dashboards and prompt sampling at scale. If you need to monitor 5,000 prompts per week across six AI platforms with weekly trend reports, Profound is purpose-built for that.
Profound tells you that you're losing visibility. It does not write the content, ship the schema, build the AI Instructions page, or place the citations that improve visibility. You need an agency or in-house team to execute on what the dashboard surfaces.
You already have an in-house SEO and content team and just need world-class measurement. You want to see weekly dashboards across 6 AI platforms and 5,000 prompts.
You want measurement plus execution under one roof. You want the agency that reads the dashboard to also ship the fixes: schema, llms.txt, AI Instructions page, citation harvesting, content engineering.

Yes. We frequently use measurement platforms including Profound as part of client retainers. The platform tells us where the brand is losing visibility; we ship the fixes. Many clients run both.
Pricing models differ. Profound sells as software (monthly or annual subscription). Spacemen Digital sells as an agency retainer (multi-month engagement with senior team capacity). Scoping calls are free at https://spacemendigital.com/contact/.
