AI visibility tool vs agency

An AI visibility tool vs an agency comes down to one thing: measuring the problem vs fixing it. Tools like Profound, Otterly and Peec tell you whether ChatGPT, Google AI and Perplexity mention your business. They don't claim your profiles, write your answer pages or build your reviews - so the dashboard stays red. prostu is the done-for-you side: we do the work, and use our own monitoring to prove it.

  • 2founders do the work
  • 90day sprint, fixed scope
  • 1refund-backed guarantee
  • 0dashboards to babysit

A tracker tells you you're invisible

  • You pay $29-$500+ a month to watch a "Share of AI Voice" number that won't move on its own
  • The tool shows competitors getting cited - but not why, and not what to change first
  • Someone on your team still has to claim profiles, write pages and chase reviews - the actual work
  • Enterprise tools are priced for enterprise teams, not a single clinic, firm or venue

A thermometer doesn't cure the fever. Measuring AI invisibility is useful - but only the work moves you into the answer.

If you have an in-house marketer who will act on the data, a tracking tool is a fair buy. If you'd rather the profiles, pages and reviews simply get done - and want one number that matters (are you in the answer, yes or no) - that's the 90-day AI Visibility Sprint. We use our own monitoring under the hood, so you're not paying for a tool on top.

Not sure which camp you're in? The free audit answers it: we show you exactly where AI engines describe you today, and whether the gap is a fixing problem or a measuring one.

Common questions

Is prostu an alternative to Profound or Otterly?

Not a like-for-like one. Those are tracking tools you operate yourself; prostu is a done-for-you agency that does the optimisation and includes monitoring as part of the service. If you bought a tool and nothing changed, that's the gap we fill - the work itself.

Do you just resell a tool's dashboard?

No. We built our own monitoring that asks the AI engines your real customer queries every week and saves the answers. Your report is screenshots of ChatGPT and Google AI talking about your business, not a third-party score.

Can I keep my existing tool and still work with you?

Yes. Some clients keep a tracker for their own dashboards while we do the work. You don't need one to work with us - the monitoring is already included.

What does the agency cost vs a tool?

The sprint is $2,500 once for 90 days, refund-backed. Tools are $29-$500+ every month for as long as you keep paying - and you still do the work. Different things: one measures, one fixes.
