Profound is the category leader. Well funded, enterprise grade, tracking how brands show up across roughly nine AI surfaces, with live dashboards and integrations and a sales call before you can use any of it. It is built for large brands with budget for an annual contract.
meraGEO does the same job at a twentieth of the price. Free scan in about 30 seconds, no signup. Then $19 a month rescans your domain every week across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, and emails you when what they say about you changes. You also get the fixes: llms.txt, an FAQ, citation targets, a plan.
It does go deeper. It captures from the browser instead of querying APIs, which is a real technical advantage. Look at what the extra surfaces actually are, though. The headline list is ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot and AI Overviews. AI Overviews runs on Gemini. Copilot runs on OpenAI. Claude is not on the list at all.
