Who each one is built for. Profound is an analytics platform for enterprise marketing teams, with custom enterprise contracts for brands and $399/month per client workspace for agencies. Temso works only with agencies: unlimited client brands and seats, white-labeled pitches, reports and dashboards, and the tools to do the monthly work.

Yes. Profound sells to enterprise brands as well as to agencies, so an agency's client can buy it directly. Temso works only with agencies and has no plans for brands, so it never competes with an agency for its clients.

Profound's Agency Growth plan is $99/month, which includes 10 pitch workspaces, plus $399/month for each client workspace. Five clients cost $2,094/month, and the cost grows with every client. Brands have no self-serve plan; their pricing is a custom enterprise contract. Temso starts at $10/month for unlimited pitches, so an agency can win its first retainer before paying for tracking. Client tracking starts at $199/month, with unlimited client brands and seats.

Temso covers 9: 5 included on Growth and 4 more as add-ons. Profound tracks 3 engines per client workspace on Agency Growth, and up to 10 on Enterprise.

Profound offers workflow templates for content that need configuration. Temso drafts, optimizes and publishes content to the client's CMS, from a plan ranked by effort and impact.

Minutes in Temso. Connect the client's domain, confirm the brand and competitors, and Temso suggests prompts and starts collecting AI answers. Profound's onboarding is led by a Customer Success Manager, and several reviewers describe a learning curve before the platform feels familiar.

Temso. Seats are unlimited, client brands are unlimited on Growth, and pitches, reports and dashboards are white-labeled under the agency's brand. Adding a colleague costs nothing, and adding a client costs nothing within the plan's prompt limit. Profound includes unlimited seats too, but charges $399/month for every client workspace, so the bill grows with every client.

Enterprise brands with large in-house marketing teams that want prompt volume data and onboarding through a dedicated Customer Success Manager.
