Pricing
Profound's pricing page lists two brand plans, a free trial and Enterprise, and a separate agency plan from $99. The $99 Starter and $399 Growth brand plans are gone, but they live on: other comparison pages still quote them, ChatGPT put Profound's entry tier at $99 a month in an answer Rendix captured on Sep 23, and Profound's own Answer Engine Insights FAQ still mentions Starter and Growth.
