Profound Alternatives
As of Nov 3, 2026, Profound sells brands a free 7-day Trial and then a custom Enterprise plan, with no public price. If you want a cheaper tracker, Otterly.AI, LLMrefs and Peec AI publish theirs, from $29 a month. If you want AI answers to change, SlopMog works on the Reddit and YouTube threads they cite, from $99 a month.
- Pick SlopMog if…
- you already know you're missing from AI answers, and want comments posted in the Reddit and YouTube threads those answers cite, at $0.60 each.
- Pick Profound if…
- you need daily tracking on up to 9 engines, Agent Analytics, ChatGPT Shopping or SSO, and an enterprise quote is fine.
Profound and Otterly.AI as listed on their pricing pages on Nov 3, 202617. SlopMog's $99 buys about 166 regular comments a month, not answer tracking.

Three trackers that publish their prices
If you want Profound's job done for less, start here. Every price was read on the vendor's own page on Nov 3, 2026.
- Otterly.AILite · $29/mo7
Pick it if you want the cheapest daily check on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot.
Skip it if you need Gemini, AI Mode or Claude: on Lite they're $9, $9 and $29 a month extra.
- LLMrefsAll in One · $79/mo8
Pick it if you want every engine at one price, plus a free Reddit threads finder.
Skip it if you need a daily record per prompt: LLMrefs groups prompts under keywords and reports weekly.
- Peec AIStarter · $95/mo9
Pick it if you want daily tracking on 3 models you pick, with source and gap analysis.
Skip it if you need Claude: Peec lists it under Enterprise.
Compare them by answers, not prompts
Every tracker sells "prompts", but a prompt run daily on 3 engines is 90 answers a month, and on 1 engine it's 30. Peec AI spells the unit out on its pricing page: prompts × models × days9. Profound's retired Starter and Peec's Starter both said 50 prompts. One meant 1,500 answers a month, the other 4,500. More answers give a steadier average, because citations move from day to day11.

Profound: the good and the meh
We could pretend they're terrible. They're not. Every point links to where we read it.
What Profound does well
- Up to 9 answer engines on Enterprise, including Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and DeepSeek1
- Agent Analytics: how AI crawlers view, cite and refer to your pages, with 9 CDN and host integrations1
- Prompt Volumes, built from what people ask AI3
- ChatGPT Shopping visibility down to the SKU3
- SSO/SAML and SOC 2 for enterprise procurement1
- Agents that draft pages, social posts, PR corrections and ad creative, staged for your approval3
- Publishes its own citation research, like its Feb 2026 study of about 700,000 ChatGPT social citations6
Where it falls short
- No public price for brands: after the free Trial it's a custom Enterprise quote1
- Self-serve brand plans ($99 and $399 a month on Sep 14, 2026) were gone by Oct 145
- Trial prompts are a fixed industry set you can't edit, with no history, exports or API1
- For agencies, each full client workspace is a $399-a-month add-on to the $99 base2
- Its site doesn't describe finding or joining Reddit or YouTube threads3
Why add SlopMog to a tracker
A tracker shows where you stand in the answers. These are the parts it leaves to you.
It works on the threads AI answers cite
Profound's own study of about 700,000 social citations in ChatGPT answers (Oct to Dec 2025) found 99% of the Reddit ones pointed to individual threads, not subreddits, and 85% of the YouTube ones to specific videos6. That's the unit SlopMog works on. It finds Reddit and YouTube threads for your keywords every day, scores each one for relevance, and puts the best in your queue with a comment already drafted.
- Daily discovery on Reddit and YouTube
- Keyword groups pulled from your own site
- Every thread scored for relevance
- A draft waiting in each thread's tone
High-Value discovery asks 4 models what they cite
Which threads get cited depends on the engine and the month. Otterly.AI measured ChatGPT's Reddit citations falling at least 73.4% in mid-August 2026, while Google, AI Mode, Gemini and Perplexity moved 0.6% combined10. More on what changed for Reddit in ChatGPT in August 2026. So SlopMog asks: 40 buyer-style questions without your brand name, put to Gemini, Claude, GPT and Grok with live web search, and every Reddit and YouTube thread they cite, ranked. These are API models rather than the consumer chat apps, so treat the result as a sample.
- 40 buyer questions by default, no brand names
- Gemini, Claude, GPT and Grok, each with live web search
- Cited threads checked and ranked
- Runs weekly, when you add a site, or on demand
Drafted, posted, then checked
Profound's agents draft pages, social posts and ad creative and stage them for your approval3. SlopMog drafts a comment for every thread in one of 5 voices (or Auto). You edit it, regenerate it, approve it or skip it, or switch a site to hands-free. Comments go out on a staggered schedule, and health checks show which are still live and which were removed. Comparing tools that post for you? Here are the Reddit marketing tools, sorted by the job.
- $0.60 per regular comment, $6 per High-Value one
- Credits are spent only when a comment posts
- Credits come back if a post fails for good
- 7-day refund on your first payment
Let's talk money
Keep a cheap tracker for the score and put the rest into threads. Pick one of each.
One measures whether the answers name you. The other puts comments in the Reddit and YouTube threads those answers cite.
- Otterly.AI Lite7$29
15 prompts on 4 engines, daily
- SlopMog Test the Waters$99
1,000 credits: about 166 regular comments or 16 High-Value ones
Tracker prices billed monthly, read on each vendor's page on Nov 3, 2026. Profound's brand plan after the Trial is a custom quote1, so it isn't on the receipt. SlopMog credits are spent only when a comment posts, and monthly credits top back up at renewal (they don't roll over).
All SlopMog plans
Every plan includes discovery, drafts, posting and health checks.

Running a tracker and SlopMog together
They overlap very little. Here's how the two share a week. The longer version: how to get recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.
Let the tracker find the gaps
Run your buyers' questions through it and note where a competitor gets named and you don't, and which pages and threads those answers cite.
Add your site to SlopMog
SlopMog reads it, pulls out keyword groups and starts daily discovery on Reddit and YouTube, and High-Value discovery ranks the threads 4 models cite. The manual version: finding the Reddit threads Google and ChatGPT already use.
Approve, post, check both
Approve drafts or go hands-free. Health checks show which comments are still live, and the tracker's next runs show whether the answers moved. Want to see a draft first? The free Reddit comment generator writes one for any thread.
Questions you probably have
We tried to answer them before you asked. How considerate of us.
As of Nov 3, 2026, Profound's pricing page lists a free 7-day Trial and a custom-priced Enterprise plan for brands, with no dollar figure. Agencies get Agency Growth at $99 a month plus $399 a month for each full client workspace. The $99 Starter and $399 Growth plans many reviews still quote were on the page on Sep 14, 2026 and gone by Oct 14.
Keep the tracker. Add the comments.
SlopMog finds Reddit and YouTube threads for your keywords, asks Gemini, Claude, GPT and Grok which ones they cite, drafts a comment for each, and posts the ones you approve. $99 a month covers about 166 regular comments ($0.60 each) or 16 High-Value ones ($6 each).

Does ChatGPT Still Cite Reddit? What Changed in August 2026
Rarely. About 1 in 43 US ChatGPT answers cited Reddit in late September 2026, down from 1 in 5 in March. Google's AI answers and Perplexity still cite it.
