AI content services compared.
Plus the visibility tools.
Most of the tools below do real work in their categories - premium retainers writing for enterprise budgets, AI drafting tools that hand you 50 articles a month, scorers that grade what you wrote. Found by AI does something narrower: recurring AI Content production at €199-€799/month aimed at the AI-answer surface, with monitoring underneath at €14/month. Below: 33+ honest comparisons, with clear notes on when the other tool is the right answer.
Stop at the dashboard.
Show the gap. Don't address it with content production. A client looking at a monitoring dashboard with no content production is not a recurring conversation; it's a quarterly question.
Write briefs from keyword tools.
Briefs come from search-volume guesswork. They produce useful articles, but the priorities don't reflect what AI assistants are actually citing for the client's category.
Turn monitoring evidence into the next brief.
Last month's monitoring evidence - competitor appearances, citation gaps, missing facts, weak topics - becomes next month's content brief. Then the monthly proof report shows what changed.
The wedge is the loop, not any single layer of it.

AI Visibility Hub
21 AI visibility tool comparisons →
AI visibility tools tell you where you appear in AI answers and where you don't. Most are dashboards. Found by AI does monitoring cheaply (€14/month) and writes the articles too. Each comparison on the hub is honest about which one fits - including when the other tool is the better answer.
Where each one sits
On the content side: Daydream raised $15M to put AI-generated programmatic pages on your site. AthenaHQ and Surfer optimize your existing content. Writesonic, Goodie, and Trakkr generate AI drafts. Animalz, Siege, Omniscient, and Foundation are premium retainers at $8K-$30K+/mo for editorial on your site. Embarque and Audience Ops are productized at SMB-friendly prices.
On the visibility side: Profound, Otterly, PromptMonitor, BrightEdge, and Conductor all monitor where you appear in AI answers. Adobe LLM Optimizer, Bluefish, and Scrunch are enterprise-tier. Triple Whale is Shopify-adjacent. Trakkr, Goodie, and Writesonic appear on both sides - they bridge the categories.
Found by AI does something none of them do as the primary offer: cheap AI monitoring (€14/month annual) bundled with done-for-you recurring AI Content production at €199-€799/month. Most tools above either watch the surface or write for it. We do both, at a price band aimed at SMBs and mid-market rather than enterprise. The optional found-by.ai editorial profile can be included when useful - customers pay for the content production, not the listing.
