FAQ
How much does Profound cost?
Profound offers a free 7-day trial (50 prompts per day, one language and region, three engines) and an Enterprise plan with custom pricing arranged through a demo. No self-serve prices are published as of October 2026.
Is Profound only for enterprises?
Its pricing page lists Trial and Enterprise only, and its security features (SSO/SAML, SOC 2) and solutions pages are aimed at larger teams and agencies. Smaller teams can use the trial but then need an Enterprise contract.
