Profound alternative: Quoted

Quoted is a $10 one-shot AEO audit across 6 AI engines — the right Profound alternative if you don't need a mid-market subscription platform.

Profound is an AEO platform built for enterprise marketing teams. Well-funded (Series B, Lightspeed) and priced for that scale: starter at $99/mo (ChatGPT only), Growth at $399/mo, enterprise quotes above. What they sell is continuous tracking — a dashboard that re-runs prompts on a schedule and stores history.

If you're an indie SaaS founder or solopreneur who needs a snapshot today without committing to a monthly platform, Quoted is built for that. Results in about 3 minutes.
