When to pick which

Pick LLM Submitter if you are a UK SMB or agency that wants four-pillar GEO (submit, audit, fix, track) at GBP-honest pricing without a sales call - and you value owning the fix code rather than just seeing what is broken. Pick Profound if you are an enterprise procurement team running RFPs and your stakeholder list values white-glove onboarding plus a USD invoice over self-serve speed.

FAQ

Is Profound's data more comprehensive?

For citation tracking the engine list is similar. Profound covers Copilot; we cover Claude. The bigger split is product scope: Profound is monitoring-only; we add the audit + fix pillars so the same subscription tells you why a citation rate changed and gives you the code to fix it.

Why is the price difference so large?

Profound goes after enterprise procurement (longer sales cycle, white-glove implementation). LLM Submitter is built for self-serve SMB/agency adoption - product-led growth, GBP-billed, lower per-customer cost to serve. Free tier exists because we want the audit + fix tools in front of every UK SMB before paid customers churn elsewhere.

Can I migrate from Profound?

Citation prompts copy across in minutes (any Pro tier, paste your prompt list). Historical citation data does not migrate - if you need that on file, export from Profound first; we will store everything from the moment you start.
