A Profound alternative that ships and proves the AI work, not just measures it
Profound is the enterprise scoreboard for AI search. getAdvantage is the trust, control and shipping layer for AI work, delivered as a managed service by the two founders. We scope it, gate it, ship it and prove it, and getting found is one part of the loop.
Profound is the category's enterprise leader, with Fortune 100 clients, 10+ engines, SOC 2, proprietary prompt-volume data. If you're a large brand that needs a measurement system of record across every engine, it's excellent at that job.
But it's measurement-first: it tells you where you stand (ChatGPT-focused at entry as of June 2026) and leaves the work to you. getAdvantage is the other half of the loop, run with you: we take the AI work from built to deployed to verified, ship the fixes into your build, and hand you a proof record of what landed.

Questions founders ask
Is getAdvantage a Profound competitor?
Different jobs. Profound measures AI visibility for enterprises; getAdvantage is the trust, control and shipping layer for AI work, delivered as a managed service by the two founders. We scope it, gate it, ship it and prove it. Many teams measure with one and run the work with the other.
How do I work with getAdvantage, and what does Profound do instead?
It starts with a call, not a checkout. We look at what you want the AI work to do and what shipping it with control would take, then we run the loop with you and scope the engagement on that call. Profound is a self-serve measurement subscription, ChatGPT-focused at entry as of June 2026, priced per plan on their site.
Does getAdvantage check as many AI engines as Profound?
getAdvantage checks ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini live today, with Claude for managed clients. Profound covers 10+. Our edge is shipping and proving the work, not breadth of measurement.
Can getAdvantage actually change what ChatGPT says about my app?
We make your app machine-readable (llms.txt, structured data, honest meta), ship the DOM-safe fixes into your build, and re-check. We can't guarantee any assistant's output; we improve how they can read you and show the measured before and after with a proof record.
