The short version

Three differences that decide it.

Selection

One lane at depth, or the field in three items.

Profound runs the prompts you track across up to nine AI platforms every day, in more than 150 regions (tryprofound.com/features/answer-engine-insights). Viewfield checks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini daily for the questions you track and reads the answers beside competitor pages, news, communities and your customers, so a change reaches the Brief only when it matters to your position.

Your position

A visibility score, or your position as the filter.

Profound measures visibility for your brand. Viewfield reads every AI answer, and every other signal, against the position drafted from your website and corrected by you. Whether Profound uses your positioning to select what you see is not shown on its public pages.

To content

Agents for AI answers, or a change you publish.

Profound’s agents and AI Marketer draft content aimed at AI answers (tryprofound.com). Viewfield suggests the change for each prompt you track, a page update or the post that is missing, in your own frame, saved to your CMS as a draft for a manager to publish.

Getting started, side by side

From sign-up to the first Brief.

In Profound
  1. [01]Day 1
    Start the free trial

    10 prompts on ChatGPT, run one time, in one region; Enterprise by conversation (tryprofound.com/pricing, September 2026).

  2. [02]Step 2
    Enter the prompts

    The list decides what is tracked, across up to nine AI platforms and 150+ regions on Enterprise.

  3. [03]Ongoing
    Read the dashboards, direct the agents

    Visibility, citations and prompt volumes, refreshed daily; agents and an AI Marketer draft content.

  4. [04]Beyond
    Outside the lane

    Competitor pricing pages, news, communities and your own customer conversations are not shown as tracked on their public pages.

In Viewfield
  1. [01]Minute 1
    Sign up and paste your website

    The engine drafts your competitors, audiences and position from your own site. You correct what it got wrong; nothing else to assemble.

  2. [02]Activation
    A real site or description, and four named competitors

    That is the gate. Once it is met, the first Brief is built from a thirty-day lookback, so the first morning has something to read.

  3. [03]Every morning, 06:00
    The Brief, in your time zone

    Up to three items: what changed, why it matters to your position, the source. Choose one to turn into content, or choose none.

Up to three items each morning, 06:00 in your time zone

What Tuesday looks like.

You dropped out of ChatGPT’s answer for your category
In Profound

Profound’s home ground: the dashboard shows the drop and the citations behind it, and its agents can draft the page to win it back.

In Viewfield

The drop is measured against the previous seven days on the same prompts. If it holds, it reaches the Brief with who is named instead and the pages the answers cite, and the change to your own page is suggested, saved to your CMS as a draft for a manager to publish.

A rival rewrites its homepage to sell on speed
In Profound

Out of frame. Profound measures AI answers, not competitor pages.

In Viewfield

Say you sell an AI coding tool to engineering teams on “AI coding your team can review”. When a competitor launches agents that ship pull requests on their own, the change is on your desk the next morning with why it matters to your position and the angle that is yours: what makes AI-written code safe to merge. Choose it, and a LinkedIn post and a blog post are drafted in your frame, never naming the competitor.

Nine of thirty-one customer conversations ask the same question
In Profound

Reading your CRM notes or calls is not shown on Profound’s public pages.

In Viewfield

With a CRM or call tool connected, the pattern (nine of thirty-one recorded conversations in thirty days asking whether a number can be traced to its source) reaches the Brief as customer evidence with the source, and becomes the proof line in the draft.

The arithmetic

The arithmetic, for a small marketing team.

Profound, as of September 2026
A free trial, and Enterprise by conversation
  • Trial: free, ChatGPT only, 10 prompts run one time, one region (tryprofound.com/pricing, September 2026)
  • Enterprise: custom, up to nine AI platforms tracked daily, custom regions
  • A self-serve Agency Growth plan is named, with 400 credits a month per client workspace; its price is not printed
Viewfield, from the plan catalog
  • Solo$99/mo1 seat, 5 competitors
  • Team$299/mo3 seats, 15 competitors

Every plan starts with a 14 day free trial. No credit card to sign up. Full plan details and Agency inquiries.

Profound prints no paid price, so the arithmetic waits for a quote. Viewfield Team is $299 a month, paid monthly, for 3 seats and 15 competitors, with 50 buyer questions checked daily on ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini beside the rest of your market. Solo is $99.

Where Profound is strong

If AI answer share of voice is the program, Profound is the deepest instrument for it. Its own pages show nine AI platforms queried, every tracked prompt run daily, 30+ languages and 150+ regions, Prompt Volumes, Pages, Agent Analytics, agents and an AI Marketer, and a free trial (tryprofound.com, September 2026). Profound is moving fast in a lane it helped define.

Who should stay

Stay on Profound if AI answer share of voice across many platforms and regions is the program and you want the deepest instrument for it. Viewfield checks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini daily as part of a read of your whole market, and does not try to be its depth.

What you keep if you switch
  • Your CMS stays yours: pages and posts arrive there as drafts, and go live when you say
  • Your questions: Viewfield drafts 10 buyer questions from your site, and you edit them and add your own within your plan
  • Profound, if an AI search program is running. Viewfield does not try to be its depth
  • Your CRM and your calls, read as customer evidence
Questions people ask

Profound or Viewfield, in 2026.

What is a Profound alternative for a B2B marketing team in 2026?

Viewfield, if you want AI answers read as part of your market rather than as the whole product. It checks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini daily for the buyer questions you track, and reads your competitors, communities, news, hiring and connected customer conversations beside them, all against your position, in a Brief of up to three items each morning. Profound is the stronger choice if that one lane is the program. Fourteen days free, no card.

Does Viewfield track AI search visibility?

Yes, daily. Solo tracks ChatGPT. Team tracks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Every answer is stored with its citations and labeled by how it was measured, visibility and share of voice are read against the competitors you track, and a measured change reaches the Brief.

How does Viewfield collect AI answers?

Through each platform’s official API, under Viewfield’s own agreements, with a pinned model: ChatGPT and Claude with web search; Gemini with web results, not Google Search. An API answer approximates the consumer app, so every result names its method. Profound says it captures directly from the browser (tryprofound.com/features/answer-engine-insights, September 2026).

Does Viewfield generate content for AI answers?

When you choose to. For each prompt you track it suggests the next step: update the page you already have, or write the post that is missing. The change is saved to your CMS as a draft and a manager publishes it; 14 and 28 days later you see what moved. There is no separate content agent on credits.

Do I need to build a prompt list?

No. 10 buyer questions are drafted from your site, your audiences and the competitors you track, grouped by intent. Edit them and add your own within your plan: 20 on Solo and 50 on Team.

Does Viewfield use real user prompt data?

No. The questions are a panel you choose, checked daily. Profound offers Prompt Volumes, per its own pages in September 2026; Viewfield does not.

Is Viewfield billed annually?

No. Monthly, cancel any time, and every plan starts with fourteen days free and no card. Profound’s Enterprise plan is priced by conversation, per tryprofound.com/pricing as of September 2026.
