Get Nodded vs Profound: AI visibility for growing teams vs the enterprise

Profound is the best-funded company in AI visibility, with a $180M Series D in September 2026, and the deepest enterprise feature set. In the same month it dropped its self-serve Starter and Growth plans, so new customers now go through sales. Here's how it compares to Get Nodded.

The short answer

Profound is built for large enterprises that need the widest engine coverage, compliance paperwork and a dedicated team. Get Nodded is built for startups, mid-market brands and agencies that want serious AI visibility tracking and the tools to act on it, at a published price they can sign up for today.

Feature comparison

Where Profound wins

• Breadth: up to nine engines on Enterprise, including Claude and DeepSeek.

• Data depth: prompt volume estimates, ChatGPT Shopping tracking and all-time history.

• Enterprise readiness: SSO, SOC 2, API access and a dedicated support channel.

Where Get Nodded wins

• You can buy it: published self-serve plans from $49/mo, versus a sales process that third-party reports put at several thousand dollars a month.

• Your prompts from day one, on all six major engines from the Pro plan.

• SEO data next to AI data: Search Console, Google rankings with AI Overview citations, and Core Web Vitals.

• Off-site work: Reddit threads and backlink gaps that shape what AI engines cite.

Pricing

Get Nodded: Starter $49/mo (1 brand, 50 prompts, ChatGPT + AI Overviews), Basic $99/mo (5 engines), Pro $299/mo (2 brands, 100 prompts, all 6 engines, 2 checks a day), Business $699/mo (5 brands, 150 prompts, 4 checks a day). 10% off yearly.

Profound: a free 7-day trial with 50 fixed prompts on ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews, then Enterprise with custom pricing. Its earlier $99 and $399 self-serve plans were withdrawn in September 2026, so older reviews quoting them are out of date.

Verdict

Choose Profound if you're an enterprise brand with a procurement process, need engines beyond the big six, and want a vendor that will staff your account.

Choose Get Nodded if you want to start this week, control your own prompts, and have content, crawler, Reddit and SEO tools in the same place, for a fraction of an enterprise contract. For most teams below enterprise scale, it's the better fit.

Who each tool is built for

• Profound fits large brands with a procurement process, security reviews and a team that wants a vendor-managed account.

• Get Nodded fits startups, mid-market companies and agencies that want to start tracking AI visibility this week with a published price.

• If you need Claude, DeepSeek or Exa tracking, or prompt volume estimates, Profound's Enterprise plan covers them and Get Nodded doesn't.

• If you need content, crawler analytics, Reddit, backlinks and SEO data alongside tracking, Get Nodded covers them in one product.

What you give up by not going enterprise

It's worth being honest about the trade-off. With Get Nodded you track the six engines that cover most buyer conversations (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot), not nine. You don't get prompt volume data, SSO or a SOC 2 report, and support isn't a dedicated Slack channel.

For most teams below enterprise scale, those gaps matter less than speed and price. You can track your own prompts from day one, check them up to four times a day on Business, and act on what you find without waiting for a sales cycle.

How to evaluate an AI visibility platform before you sign

• Engine coverage on the plan you'll actually pay for, not the top tier.

• Whether you choose the prompts. A fixed prompt set tells you little about your own market.

• How often prompts are checked. Answers change between runs, so more checks give steadier numbers.

• Citation detail: which pages and domains each engine relied on, sorted into types you can act on.

• What happens after the report: content, crawler fixes and off-site work, or a separate team to do it.

Moving from a Profound trial to Get Nodded

Profound's trial uses 50 fixed prompts on ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews. If you ran it and want to continue on a self-serve plan, write down the questions that mattered most, then add them as your own prompts in Get Nodded along with the competitors you saw in the answers. Starter covers ChatGPT and AI Overviews at $49/mo; Basic adds AI Mode, Perplexity and Gemini at $99/mo.
