Question 1

What is the main difference between ASO Studio and Profound AI?

Accepted Answer

Profound AI is an enterprise ai search & prompt-tracking analytics platform (Custom annual enterprise contracts ($2,000–$5,000+/mo typical)). ASO Studio engineers and ships 100% client-owned code — a 14-route Cloudflare Edge Worker or 26-file GitHub PR (/llms.txt, /pricing.md, /ai/summary.json, /.well-known/mcp.json, 27-bot robots.txt, and HTMLRewriter @graph JSON-LD) — under a Pay $0 Today SLA settled only after live verification reaches 95+/100.
