iPand vs Profound
A platform built for large companies versus a tool with published prices: what each one includes, with source pages.
The short answer
Profound does not publish prices for brands: its Enterprise plan is on quote, and an agency plan, Agency Growth, is shown at $99 a month. Profound suits large companies that want up to 9 engines, more than 30 languages and ChatGPT shopping tracking, with SOC 2 Type 2 certification. iPand suits a brand that wants published prices, from €89 excl. VAT/month, an assistant that writes its content and data hosted in Europe.
