Both tools measure whether AI models recommend your brand. The difference is packaging. AngelMatch is a self-serve scanner — paste a domain, get a 4-model report in about a minute, free. Profound is an enterprise-tier measurement platform sold through a sales motion.

Feature-by-feature
Model coverage
AngelMatch queries ChatGPT (OpenAI GPT-4o class), Claude (Anthropic Sonnet class), Gemini (Google Flash class), and Grok (xAI). The exact model ID for each scan is disclosed on the report. Profound's coverage is documented on their site — verify current model list there before purchase.
Measurement approach
Both tools use buyer-intent question sets against foundation models and aggregate results. Both are share-metric-oriented. The methodological similarities are stronger than the differences — this is a packaging comparison more than a science comparison.
Fix layer
AngelMatch bundles a done-for-you fix layer: Angel Mode ($5,000 flat, 30 days) executes the changes surfaced by the scan. Enterprise-tier competitors typically leave implementation to the customer or partner network.
Speed
The AngelMatch free scan runs in about 60 seconds with no signup. Enterprise-tier platforms trade speed for depth and configurability.
