Where the two differ
Who ships the fixes
Profound's Agents and Workflows draft and publish AEO content, operated by your team. AirPulse's team ships the remediation with yours (rendering, schema, sitemaps, llms.txt) and re-audits every change live.
Agent analytics
Profound's Agent Analytics is the closest product to Agent Pulse. AirPulse ties crawler and agent log data to the remediation queue, so a section GPTBot stops fetching becomes a task, a fix and a re-audit.

Profound (checked 2026-09-09): Starter $99/month (ChatGPT only, 50 prompts, one seat), Growth $399/month (three engines, 100 prompts, three seats), billed yearly; Enterprise custom.
