What 100 prompts a day on every engine costs

A sticker price says little until you hold the job constant. Here the job is the one a serious team usually lands on: 100 buyer prompts, checked every day, on every engine the tool will track without a custom contract. Every price is the US-dollar price printed on the vendor’s own page, dated; where a vendor publishes no US price to us, it is left out and the row says so.

Honeyb: honeyb.ai/pricing, checked 12 Oct 2026. Profound: tryprofound.com/pricing, agencies tab, checked 11 Oct 2026. An answer is one prompt run once on one engine.

For a brand, nobody outside Profound's sales team can price this job. The nearest printed number is the agency route: $498 a month buys 100 daily prompts on three engines, about 5.5 cents an answer. Honeyb's Full Spectrum runs the same 100 prompts on eight engines for $199, about $0.008 an answer, with Claude, Gemini and Google AI Mode in the set and ranked fixes and a Content Agent included.

Profound at a glance

Where Honeyb pulls ahead of Profound

• A price on the page. The Minimum is $29, Multi-Model $79 and Full Spectrum $199 a month for 100 daily prompts on all 8 engines. Profound prices brand plans after a demo
• Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode without a contract. Profound tracks them on Enterprise; its trial covers three engines and its agency plan a different three
• Findings turn into work. Every plan ranks fixes by expected impact, and the Content Agent drafts and publishes 5 to 30 articles a month to WordPress, Ghost, Shopify, Webflow, Wix or a custom endpoint
• Sized for a lean team: setup takes an afternoon, and Enterprise adds a monthly 30-minute strategy call with the Honeyb team when you want a person in the room

Honeyb opens on the question a smaller team actually has: how often AI names you, against whom, on each engine. This is the view Profound's Answer Engine Insights covers too; the difference is that this one costs $199 a month on all eight engines.

Where Profound hands findings to its AI Marketer agents, Honeyb ranks the fixes by expected impact on every plan, so the first thing you do on Monday is the thing most likely to move the number.

Both tools show which pages the engines cite. Honeyb breaks them down by domain and type, which turns into a named outreach list.

How to move from Profound to Honeyb

Most teams who move from Profound to Honeyb are either leaving the 7-day trial without wanting a demo, or carrying an agency client that does not need Enterprise. Either way the move takes an afternoon, and you can run both side by side for the first week.

1. 1

   Export what you can, write down what you cannot

   Enterprise accounts can export prompts and results as CSV or JSON. On the trial there is no history or export, so copy your prompt list by hand and note the three or four numbers you care about, such as visibility on your top ten prompts.

2. 2

   Rebuild the prompt set around your buyers

   Paste your prompts into a Honeyb workspace, then add the questions your buyers ask in their own words. Full Spectrum takes 100 daily, Multi-Model 50. Trial users of Profound get a preset industry set they cannot edit, so this is usually where the data starts to look like your market.

3. 3

   Pick engines and competitors

   Turn on all eight engines on Full Spectrum, or choose three on Multi-Model. Add the competitors you track in Profound; Honeyb will also list every brand the engines name alongside you, so new rivals show up without being added.

4. 4

   Run both for a week, then compare like with like

   Answers vary between identical runs, so compare a week of daily data, engine by engine, rather than a single day. Expect the three engines both tools share to tell the same story; the other five are where Honeyb adds coverage.

5. 5

   Turn the first findings into work

   Accept the top three ranked recommendations, queue the Content Agent's first articles to your CMS and send the cited-source list to whoever runs PR. That is the step a monitoring trial never reaches.
