FAQs

Can't find what you're looking for? Visit our Help Center.

What is the difference between Opttab and Profound?

The main difference is that Opttab adds agentic commerce, while both Opttab and Profound help brands measure and improve how they show up in AI answers. Opttab's agentic commerce means a Brand Agent on a remote MCP server for each brand, published as a ChatGPT app, a Claude connector and an on-site shopping agent. Opttab is EU-hosted and publishes self-serve plans in euros, starting at โ‚ฌ49 per month.

Is Opttab a Profound alternative?

Yes, Opttab is an alternative to Profound for brands and agencies that want AI visibility tracking, AI crawler analytics, content optimization and agentic commerce in one platform. Opttab offers a 7-day free trial on Lite and Starter, so you can compare results on your own prompts before you decide.

Does Opttab offer self-serve plans?

Yes, Opttab offers self-serve plans for brands (Lite, Starter and Growth) from โ‚ฌ49 per month or โ‚ฌ399 per year, and self-serve agency plans from โ‚ฌ149 per month. Enterprise and Agency Enterprise plans are tailored with the Opttab team. All prices exclude VAT.

Where does Opttab store data?

Opttab stores customer data on Amazon Web Services in the EU, in the Ireland region (eu-west-1), and processes personal data under the GDPR as a Dutch company. Opttab doesn't use customer data to train AI models. For many European teams, EU hosting is a deciding factor when they compare AI visibility tools.

Can I test Opttab against Profound on the same prompts?

Yes, you can test Opttab against Profound on the same prompts. Start a 7-day free trial on Opttab Lite or Starter, add the same prompts, markets and competitors you track elsewhere, and compare the answers, sources and recommendations you get. Keep in mind that AI answers vary from run to run, so compare trends rather than single answers.

Does Opttab support agentic commerce?

Yes, agentic commerce is a core part of Opttab. The Brand Agent connects to your product feed and commerce platform, like Shopify, and runs on a remote MCP server that Opttab publishes as a ChatGPT app, a Claude connector and an on-site shopping agent. The brand stays the merchant of record, and Opttab never handles shopper payments.
