AI Visibility
AI visibility tools, compared.
AI visibility tools tell you where you appear in AI answers and where you don't. Most of the market sells deeper monitoring dashboards. Found by AI does something different: cheap monitoring at €14/month, plus recurring AI Content production aimed at the AI-answer surface. Below: 21 honest comparisons, sub-categorized for your shortlist - and clear about when the other tool is the right choice.
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.

HubSpot AEO Grader is a free one-time scan plus a $50/mo AEO tool inside HubSpot CRM.
Among newer entrants: Triple Whale is Shopify-first ecommerce analytics with a free AI shopping-answer tracker inside - pick it if you sell ecommerce. AthenaHQ, Goodie, and Trakkr combine visibility tracking with content generation for your own site. Adobe LLM Optimizer, BrightEdge, Bluefish, and Conductor are enterprise-tier (Fortune 500/1000). Scrunch and Writesonic sit in the premium-paid mid-market.
Found by AI does something none of them do as the primary offer: cheap AI monitoring (€14/month) and done-for-you recurring AI Content production. Most of the tools above are dashboards. We're a writing team with a monitoring layer underneath. If you want a deeper dashboard, one of the tools above is the right answer. If you want articles produced for AI answers, that's us.
