What each costs at common prompt counts

Published monthly prices, November 2026. Profound isn't in the table because it publishes no paid price.

The two self-serve tools swap places as you grow because their tiers break at different points. Otterly adds Google AI Mode and Gemini for $9 each a month on Lite, $59 on Standard and $149 on Premium; Peec prices extra models per model in its dashboard without publishing the figure. Profound's earlier self-serve tiers are no longer listed on its pricing page, so any figure you see quoted elsewhere may be out of date.
