How each one measures
Profound counts how often your brand is mentioned when any brand is: its documentation defines the visibility score as the runs that mention your brand divided by the runs that mention any brand, worked out per model and averaged with equal weight. Its trial asks a recommended set of 50 prompts for your industry, daily for seven days.
AEOHIT asks the questions you track, proposed from your own site and yours to edit, every week, with extra pulse checks on higher plans, and keeps every answer with the sources it cites. On every plan, ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI answer every question you track; Perplexity, Claude and Grok answer your highest-intent questions (on Pro: Perplexity and Claude 25, Grok 10). Its AI Visibility Score combines presence, prominence, share of voice, sentiment and citations, weighting each engine by its real-world referral share; the methodology names the source of every answer.
What happens after the measurement
Profound’s answer is its AI Marketer, which the pricing page describes as researching, writing and reporting, with suggestions on opportunities for your brand; agency plans add autonomous agents paid in credits. The pricing page does not say that it publishes changes to your site.
AEOHIT writes technical fixes from your own pages: structured data, FAQ answers, an llms.txt file, crawler rules, titles and descriptions. On WordPress, the AEOHIT Connect plugin publishes each fix you approve in one click and can roll it back; the questions a fix targets are re-measured at 7, 14 and 28 days, so you can see whether it worked.

Profound has no self-serve paid plan for brands: after the trial, the Enterprise package is priced through a demo. AEOHIT publishes every price and sells online: Pro $49 a month, Growth $129, Agency $349 with 10 client brands, and a one-time Fix Pack at $149, in US dollars or your own currency.
