Methodology

What each tool actually measures

Profound and misquoted are both serious products. They are not measuring the same thing.

misquoted.ai

Accuracy and consensus

Three models, 50–80 questions, a site crawl for ground truth. The output is a consensus matrix — which models agree, where they disagree, and how far off they are from the facts on your site. The $199 tier ships a correction playbook with copy-paste fixes.

We optimize for "the AI got it wrong, here is what to change." Visibility is one of several inputs, not the destination.

"Accuracy + consensus + correction. Premium positioning at an entry-level price."
Profound

Enterprise visibility & share-of-voice

Profound runs broader, longitudinal visibility tracking — share of voice, citation tracking, competitive benchmarking — and publishes a public industry leaderboard that gives the category structure. Their enterprise customer list is substantial.

Their methodology is dashboard- and reporting-rich. The strength is breadth and continuity over time. If your CMO is briefing the board on AI visibility quarterly, Profound is built for that motion.

"Continuous share-of-voice for established brands."

An honest read

Where each tool genuinely wins

Profound has earned its position. So has every customer choosing it. We exist for the customers it doesn't fit.

Profound

Where Profound is the better pick

If you are an established brand with budget and a procurement process, Profound is a credible answer.

  • 01Enterprise readiness. SOC 2, SSO, dedicated CSM, custom procurement terms. We are not there yet on the security checklist.
  • 02The leaderboard authority. Profound's public industry leaderboard has become a reference point. Showing up on it carries weight in CMO rooms.
  • 03Continuous, deeper share-of-voice tracking. If your job is to brief leadership quarterly with longitudinal trend data, Profound's depth on visibility metrics is real.
misquoted.ai

Where misquoted is the better pick

For smaller brands, accuracy-first teams, and anyone allergic to the enterprise sales motion.

  • 01$49 entry instead of $499. A one-time report at $49 covers most of what a smaller brand needs. Ten times less than Profound's lowest tier.
  • 02Accuracy scoring and correction playbook. Profound tracks visibility. We tell you which claims are wrong and how to fix them in your llms.txt or schema markup.
  • 03Self-serve, no demo required. Stripe checkout. You can buy a report at midnight without talking to anyone.
  • 04Consensus matrix as the centerpiece. We treat model disagreement as the headline finding, not a footnote.
  • 05Editorial reports built for sharing. The $199 PDF reads like a magazine feature, not a dashboard export. CMOs forward it.

When to pick which

If you fit Profound, buy Profound

This isn't a takedown. Profound is the established enterprise option in this category. If you have an annual budget line, a procurement team, and a CMO who wants longitudinal share-of-voice data with white-glove onboarding, that is what they built.

misquoted is built for everyone else — the founder running their own brand audit, the agency monitoring ten clients, the team that wants a one-time accuracy report before deciding whether to subscribe to anything. Our $49 tier is intentionally an order of magnitude cheaper than their entry point. Different customer.

Some customers will outgrow us into Profound. Some will outgrow Profound into us when they realize visibility wasn't the question. Both moves are reasonable.
