Email . ### Do I need to talk to sales to use Aeonav? No. Every Aeonav Cloud plan is self-serve: sign up, pay by card, and start tracking. Plans start at $29/mo, and you can change or cancel from the billing page. A tour is available if you want one, but it is never required. ### Can I bring my prompts over from Profound? Yes. Paste your existing prompt list into Aeonav, one prompt per line, and it is tracked from then on. Your Profound history stays in Profound, so most teams run both for a short overlap before cancelling. ### Is Aeonav's data comparable to Profound's? Both track how AI engines answer your buyers' prompts. Aeonav checks each prompt up to 4× a day rather than once, which smooths out the run-to-run variation in AI answers, and every metric is computed by open-source code you can read. ### Which Aeonav plan matches a Profound setup? Most teams coming from Profound choose Pro: 150 prompts across 4 AI platforms, checked 4× daily, with premium grounded models included, for $299/mo. Larger programs can step up to Business or self-host Aeonav for free. ## Start Winning AI Search Today. Start tracking your brand in minutes. Plans start at $29/mo.
