Profound alternative for a $12 one-off check

Profound is an AI platform for marketing teams, with answer engine optimization material and a sales-led plan. SeenByLLMs is the alternative when you want the visibility check without an enterprise contract.

SeenByLLMs is a one-off AI visibility checker: paste a brand or URL, ask buyer questions, read who was named. $12 a month, or $49 once for the first 100 buyers (then $79). Your OpenRouter key pays the model calls. There is no scheduled run, no account, and no shared seats. It does not promise a higher rank.

Choose Profound if

You are buying for an enterprise team and you want a platform, a trial, and a contract.
You need coverage Profound lists that this checker does not run, such as AI Overviews or Copilot.

Choose SeenByLLMs if

You want to see if the models name you this week, and you can paste an OpenRouter key.
A custom enterprise price is the wrong shape for a single check.

Neither page is a review of product quality. The rows above are public pricing and positioning, checked on the date in the note, set next to what this checker does and refuses to do.

Questions

Is SeenByLLMs an enterprise AEO platform?

No. It does not sell answer engine optimization as a program. It runs the check and writes the report.
