Profound and Evertune take opposite routes into the same job. Profound lets a small team sign up for a free 7-day Trial and then moves to a custom Enterprise package with no public price, while Evertune lists a Pro plan at $800 a month but sends you to a demo and offers no trial. DeepSmith is a strong alternative for a lean team that wants to start self-serve on a budget, because its Grow plan is $199 a month and covers 40 articles, 100 tracked prompts and seven seats, with a 7-day free trial and no demo.
Profound vs Evertune for small teams comes down to how each one lets you start. A lean marketing team usually has one person owning AI visibility next to everything else, so the price and the first week matter more than the long feature list. Profound gives you a free Trial you can sign up for yourself, but its paid plans are quoted by sales. Evertune shows an $800 monthly price for Pro, but you reach it through a demo. DeepSmith puts tracking and writing on published plans that start at $99 a month.
Profound vs Evertune for small teams: the short answer
- Choose DeepSmith if you want AI visibility tracking and publish-ready articles on one self-serve plan, because Grow is $199 a month with 40 articles, 100 tracked prompts and seven seats, and the 7-day free trial needs no demo.
- Choose Profound if you want to test a large analytics platform on your own first, since the free 7-day Trial runs 50 prompts on three engines and the paid step is a custom Enterprise package.
- Choose Evertune if you can go through a demo and spend $800 a month, because Pro lists 100,000 tracked prompts across 11 AI models and 25 articles a month.

Profound
Profound is an AI marketing platform that tracks how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and other engines mention and cite a brand, and it adds agents that draft and publish content from that data. It is built for enterprise and mid-market teams and agencies that buy through a sales-led, credit-based package. Its standout is depth, with visibility rank, share of voice, URL-level citations, sentiment and query fan-outs, plus server-log crawler analytics. For a small team the useful part is the self-serve Trial, which runs 50 prompts daily for 7 days on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. The limit is that the Trial prompt set can't be customized and keeps no answer history, exports or API, and the paid Enterprise package has no public price. Reviewers on G2 gave Profound 4.5/5 from 1,130 reviews in September 2026. TrustRadius shows 8.5/10 from 13 reviews. Capterra shows none. The reviewers praise the analytics, while some describe it as expensive and want more flexible pricing.
Evertune
Evertune is a New York AI search marketing platform, founded in 2024, that measures how AI models mention and rank a brand and then connects the gaps to content, site fixes, affiliate placements and ChatGPT and programmatic ads. It is built for mid-market and enterprise brands, and the agencies serving them, that are willing to go through a sales demo. The standout is its sampling, since each prompt is asked 100 times per model. Pro is listed at $800 a month with 100,000 tracked prompts across 11 AI models and 25 articles a month. The limits are that both plans say Request a demo, there is no free plan or trial, and the pricing page does not define what counts as one of the 100,000 prompts or say how many seats or brands Pro includes. G2 showed no Evertune reviews on September 30, 2026, so there is no independent review base to read yet.
DeepSmith: the alternative that tracks and writes on a self-serve plan
A lean team needs a plan it can see the price of, try without a call, and use for both tracking and writing. Profound's Trial is self-serve but short and narrow, and its paid package is custom. Evertune lists a price and 25 articles a month, but it sits behind a demo with no trial. DeepSmith closes that gap with four published plans, a 7-day free trial and no long-term contracts.
The Grow plan is $199 a month, or $160 a month billed yearly, and it covers 40 articles, 100 tracked prompts and seven seats across ChatGPT and Perplexity. Pro is $99 a month for 20 articles, 50 tracked prompts, five seats and ChatGPT. Both run from one workspace, so what the tracking finds feeds what gets written next.
On the tracking side, you choose the prompts and DeepSmith reports Mention Rate, Citation Rate and Share of Voice, the pages of yours that AI actually cites, and the competitor pages that win citations.
On the production side, Opportunity Agents turn those findings into ideas that carry their evidence. The Writer then produces a researched, linked, publish-ready article with a cover image and metadata, grounded in the brand context you store in Deep IQ. You can publish straight to WordPress, Webflow, Strapi, Sanity or Contentful.
A small team gets the whole loop, from finding the gap to publishing the page, without a sales conversation. The seven-day trial also fills in your brand brief, competitors, starter tracking prompts and a first batch of ideas before you pay.
Profound vs Evertune pricing for small teams
Evertune is clearer on price because it lists a number, and Profound is easier to try without paying anything.
Evertune's Pro plan is $800 a month. The pricing page does not show an annual price, the billing period or a minimum commitment, and its platform terms allow per-prompt fees and overages whose rates sit on the order page. Profound's paid price is a custom Enterprise package, and its agents run on credits that are used up according to how complex each run is. Higher credit limits need an Enterprise package, and overage billing is optional but has no published rate. If you are weighing Profound or Evertune for small teams, a budget owner can write $800 into a plan for Evertune but has to wait for a quote from Profound. G2 reviewers describe Profound as expensive and ask for more flexible pricing.
What DeepSmith does: Every DeepSmith price is public. Pro is $99 a month, Grow is $199 and Scale is $399, or $80, $160 and $299 a month billed yearly, with no long-term contracts or cancellation fees. The Grow plan costs roughly a quarter of Evertune's listed Pro price and includes 40 articles a month alongside the tracking.
Trial and self-serve sign-up
Profound has the clear edge here, since Evertune offers no trial at all.
Profound's Trial is free for 7 days and is aimed, in its own words, at companies that want to trial Profound before getting a demo. It covers 50 prompts run daily on ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, one region and one language, and a limited number of AI Marketer credits that the page does not state. It has no answer history, no exports, no API and no support. Seven days is a short window to judge a trend, so I'd treat it as a way to see the interface and check the fit, and not as a way to measure results.
Evertune routes both plans to Request a demo and lists no free plan or standard trial. The only free offer found was a first month free for teams switching from Profound, and its eligibility is not fully published.
What DeepSmith does: DeepSmith offers a 7-day free trial that you start yourself. Onboarding builds a working workspace from your website in minutes, with your brand brief, competitors, starter tracking prompts and a first batch of ideas filled in before you pay.
Tracking allowance at the entry level
Evertune lists the larger allowance, and Profound limits its entry level to the Trial.
Evertune's Pro plan lists 100,000 tracked prompts across 11 AI models, at daily, weekly or monthly frequency, with each prompt sampled up to 100 times per model. Two caveats come with that number. The page does not say what counts as one prompt, and Claude, Meta AI and DeepSeek are sampled through their base models only, not their consumer apps. Profound's Trial tracks 50 prompts on three engines. Enterprise tracks up to nine engines with a custom prompt count, and seven of those nine are Enterprise only. In most cases a small team gets more from tracking the questions its buyers really ask than from a very large prompt count, so the smaller number is a fair place to start.
What DeepSmith does: DeepSmith scales by plan. Pro tracks 50 prompts on ChatGPT, Grow tracks 100 on ChatGPT and Perplexity, and Scale tracks 200 and adds Gemini, with five, seven and ten seats. Discover Prompts builds a starter set from your product, persona and buyer-stage context, so you don't begin from a blank list.
From insight to action
On writing the two are close, and Profound is ahead on publishing.
Profound's agents draft full articles grounded in brand kits and citation data, then publish approved drafts to WordPress, Sanity, Contentful, Webflow and other CMSs, with an approval step before anything goes live. Agents are listed on the Trial with limited credits. Evertune's Content Agent writes blog drafts from six templates, 250 to 3,000 words, and follows the brand guidelines you store, with 25 articles a month on Pro. Its publish step is a Markdown or HTML download, or a copy into your own CMS, and no CMS connector is named.
What DeepSmith does: DeepSmith produces publish-ready articles, not first drafts to rescue, and you can review and publish from Produced Content to your CMS. Autowrite can take a scheduled article all the way to published without anyone in the app, and every finished article arrives with social posts already written for distribution.
