Profound alternative: where's the difference?
Profound is an American platform for answer engine optimization, built for large brands and enterprise teams that want to track their visibility in AI answers. Geony measures the same field, but with a different angle: a Dutch focus, a statistically grounded number per measurement, and self-service from 49 euros instead of an enterprise track.
Where Profound is strong
- ✓Enterprise scale: built for large brands with lots of data and users
- ✓Tracks several AI answer engines, including the citations behind them
- ✓Analyses of how AI crawlers and agents approach a site
- ✓Strong in the United States, with a mature product organisation
All fair. What they do not solve: knowing whether a number really holds, reporting under your own name, and measuring in Dutch. That is what Geony is built for.
| Profound | Geony | |
|---|---|---|
| Target audience | ✓Enterprise and large brands, often via a sales track | ✓From freelancer to agency: start yourself, without a call beforehand |
| Market and language | ✗International, English-language, strongly focused on the US | ✓Dutch-language, built on Dutch search queries and brands |
| Reliability | ✗Scores and trends across large volumes | ✓Every percentage carries a 95% interval (Wilson); a difference only counts when the intervals do not overlap |
| Measurement setup | ✓Continuous monitoring at scale | ✓Every question repeated several times per round, per assistant separately, so noise becomes visible instead of averaged away |
| White-label | ✗Aimed at in-house brand teams | ✓Your own logo and your own domain (rapport.jouwbureau.nl) with an automatic certificate, shareable client reports |
| Getting started | ✗Enterprise-oriented, pricing usually via sales | ✓From 49 euros per month, with free trial measurements without payment details |

What Geony does differently
Price per measurement, not per prompt
You buy measurement volume that you divide across brands and questions yourself, instead of a fixed number of prompts tracked daily.
An interval with every number
Every percentage carries a 95% confidence interval (Wilson). Without an interval a score is a claim, not a measurement.
White-label for agencies
Your own logo, your own report domain with an automatic certificate, shareable client reports under your name.
Dutch as the first market
Built on Dutch search queries and brands, not translated from an English-language product.
Profound is a serious platform for large, international brands that measure at enterprise scale, with a dedicated track and budget to match. For that context it is strong. But most Dutch brands and agencies are not in that context.
Geony is. You measure the Dutch market with Dutch questions, you see per number whether a difference is real before you put budget behind it, and as an agency you deliver reports under your own name and domain. You start today from €49, without a sales call: at Geony that is the starting point, not the exception.
