Qomvia vs Profound: Features, Pricing and Which to Choose

Every brand now has a second storefront: the answer an AI assistant gives when a buyer asks what to choose. Large enterprises buy platforms to manage it. Most teams first need to know whether they are named at all, and what to fix, without a sales call.

Short answer: Profound is an enterprise AI marketing platform: answer-engine monitoring, prompt volumes, ChatGPT Shopping, Agent Analytics and AI Marketer agents, with a 7-day free trial and custom Enterprise pricing. Qomvia publishes its prices and starts free: the agent-readiness score, every fix and a weekly re-scan cost nothing, paid plans start at $29/month and the AI monitor is $69/month per site.

Entry price: what it costs to start

Profound's pricing page lists a free trial and a custom Enterprise plan; it does not publish a paid self-serve price. With Qomvia you can start today, from zero, and upgrade from your dashboard.

Feature comparison

What you get with Qomvia that Profound does not bundle

Qomvia is built around one question: when a buyer asks an AI assistant, does the answer name you, and if not, what do you change? Every plan answers a part of it, and the first part is free.

A free agent-readiness score with every fix

The free scan runs 26 checks on how AI agents read your site, from crawler access and structured data to llms.txt and MCP discovery, and grades it A to F on a public method. The free Site monitor keeps the score, lists every failing check with a copy-paste fix and re-scans weekly. No signup for the score.

An AI monitor across ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok, refreshed daily

The AI monitor asks your buyers' questions to three models every day and records whether you are named, where you rank, the sentiment and the sources the model leaned on. Three models are included, not sold as add-ons.

Rivals in every answer

Each answer shows which competitor was named instead of you and which questions you are missing from, so the next fix is obvious. See why ChatGPT recommends your competitor.

From named to bought

Qomvia Market and the Qomvia MCP server let shopping agents find your offers and hand the buyer your own checkout, so a recommendation can become a sale.

When Profound is the better fit

Choose Profound if you are an enterprise that needs broad engine coverage, agent traffic analytics, custom prompt volumes and sales-led onboarding. Choose Qomvia if you want a published plan you can start today, a free readiness score that tells you what to fix, daily answers from three models and a path from being named to being bought.

What AI assistants say about this category

We track our own category with the AI monitor. When buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok for AI visibility tools, the names that come up most are Semrush, Peec AI, Ahrefs and Otterly.AI, and Qomvia appeared in only 3.3% of answers in one of our runs. That gap is the problem this product exists to close: being good is not enough if the answer names someone else. We publish fair comparisons, measure the answers daily and fix what the monitor flags, the same loop we sell.

Start free, then decide

You can test Qomvia before you spend anything, which is the fairest way to compare it with Profound. Run the free agent-readiness score on your domain, fix what it flags, and sign up free to keep the weekly re-scan. When you want to know whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok recommend you, add the AI monitor. Every other comparison is on the compare page.
