Profound: $96M Series C at $1B valuation (Feb 2026), ~$155M raised; customers incl. Ramp, DocuSign, Figma, Walmart. Some sources report the public ladder retreating to demo-led — verify tryprofound.com.
Prompt Volumes — an opt-in consumer panel of real AI queries with regional breakdowns; nobody else ships this (treat it as directional — panel data is noisy). The trust stack — if your security team runs vendor reviews, Profound has the paperwork. Category brand — a $1B valuation answers the “are we on the leading platform” question by itself.
Both halves of visibility. Profound measures AI answers; Asheard measures AI answers and Google rankings, plotted on one quadrant. That picture is unavailable at any Profound tier.
No coverage ladder. Every engine included from Pro — the “which engines can you afford” conversation doesn’t exist here.
Priced for the other 99%. Category average is ~$337/mo; full Asheard — both modules at Pro — is €188.
All 8 engines + Google rank tracking · self-serve · from €49/mo.
