REAL INDEXHALO DEMO · LINEAR
From a buyer question to a reviewable finding
Answers naming the brand5 / 5
Answers citing its website1 / 5
The Linear demo contains five usable answers: all name the brand, and one cites its own website. IndexHalo keeps those two findings separate.
Your next move. Use the saved evidence to explain the gap and prepare the next action and stakeholder report. This is an IndexHalo example, not a benchmark against Profound.
One saved question · collected 17 October 2026 · 5 usable answers. Failed and pending attempts are excluded. Public brand example, not a customer endorsement or a claim of market-wide performance.

How this comparison was checked · 22 October 2026. Published by IndexHalo. IndexHalo is one of the products being compared. This is a source-based buying guide, not an independent review or a hands-on test of the competitor’s paid product. Product names identify their owners and do not imply endorsement.
Focused evidence and reporting, or a broader AI marketing platform?
Evaluate IndexHalo when the immediate deliverable is an inspectable answer sample, a practical action brief and an exportable report within a fixed allowance. Evaluate Profound when its broader marketing workflow and enterprise commitments are central requirements. IndexHalo’s feature parity across its own plans does not mean it duplicates every Profound capability.
What the current vendor page says
On 22 October 2026, Profound’s pricing page listed a free trial limited to one language and one region, custom-priced Enterprise, and a self-serve Agency Growth plan with 400 credits per month per client workspace (Profound’s own credit unit). A current quote is needed for a price comparison.
The page positions AI Marketer and reusable agents alongside answer-engine insights, agent analytics and enterprise data access. Its documentation describes CSV and JSON exports (Enterprise), a REST API, a Tableau connector and an interface language selector in beta. We found no documentation of PDF, scheduled or white-label reports. Its agency offering is separate; confirm which commercial route applies.
Read the current official Profound page → · Check the documented billing units. Treat this as a dated snapshot; checkout or a written quote determines the current terms.
What IndexHalo includes
Professional: $49 USD/month for 100 credits; Business: $129 USD/month for 300 credits; Agency: $299 USD/month for 750 credits, plus applicable tax. Every tier has the same IndexHalo feature set; the monthly search allowance changes. One credit covers one complete question, market/language and run across selected available sources. Plan and top-up credits expire at the end of the billing month and do not roll over. Credits bought as one-time packs before monthly plans launched keep their balance and are shown separately. Reading and exporting saved reports does not use another search credit.
Multiple included sources do not multiply the credits. A repeat run is another search; two market/language combinations require two searches.
The workflow takes you from a buyer question to original answers, brand mentions, source relationships, practical actions and a stakeholder report. Consumer experiences and API-labelled evidence retain their collection labels. Referrals and crawler-activity views need their stated inputs. A full feature set within IndexHalo does not imply feature parity with another vendor.
Every plan also includes the REST API, an MCP endpoint for your own assistant, BI feeds for Google Sheets, Looker Studio, Excel and Power BI, signed webhooks with Slack and Microsoft Teams messages, white-label report exports, read-only client portal links and scheduled searches within the credit limits you approve. See every capability and every integration.
A workload worth pricing
A team measuring 25 questions four times in one market needs 100 IndexHalo searches. That fits Professional. A broader enterprise programme may also require procurement controls, integrations, agent workflows, contractual support and much greater collection volume. Those requirements cannot be reduced to cost per question.
These are planning examples, not customer outcomes. Confirm actual calendar dates, markets, languages, collection methods and source availability. An included prompt, a model response, a corpus lookup and an agent action are different quantities. Calculate both the invoice and the work required to produce a useful result.
How to evaluate both products
Ask each team to complete the same real reporting task. Then evaluate enterprise requirements separately: identity controls, support commitments, data access, deployment effort and permitted use. Require a quote matching the intended prompt volume and wider agent work.
- Freeze the questions, market and purpose before testing.
- Inspect an original answer and its timestamp rather than comparing headline scores alone.
- Check whether a source is retrieved, cited at response level or attached to a specific passage.
- Preserve failures and unknown values; do not convert them into observed negatives.
- Export a report for a real stakeholder and check its readability and evidence.
- Record current commercial terms, required add-ons and any unresolved requirements.
Put IndexHalo to work for your business
Start with your own buyer question and see the evidence for yourself. Then choose Professional, Business or Agency for 100, 300 or 750 monthly searches, with the full IndexHalo feature set on every tier.

Choose the workflow that supports the decisions you will make repeatedly. A higher collection frequency is useful when it changes those decisions; a richer report is useful when a team can act on it. Neither an advertised feature list nor a small sample establishes superior accuracy, guaranteed citations or future revenue.
Start with a real IndexHalo example report, follow the Academy workflow, or run your first report. For the wider shortlist, use the eight-product comparison hub.
What this comparison does not establish
We have not independently tested Profound’s paid collection, sampling, citation extraction, report accuracy or support response. A public feature listing cannot resolve those questions. Ask the vendor to demonstrate the exact workflow and explain its measurement rules using a real retained answer. The source-based descriptions above should guide an evaluation, not substitute for one.
