An analytics platform
for in-house teams.
Or a service that does the work.
Kime.ai is European AI visibility analytics - daily scans, unlimited competitor tracking, 5-10 team seats across Lite (€149/mo), Pro (€399/mo), and Agency (€499/mo), EUR 2M backed. If you have a marketing or content team that can act on share-of-voice metrics and citation analytics, it's a credible mid-market platform. Found by AI is for the team that doesn't have that capacity - calm weekly monitoring at €14/month plus done-for-you AI Content with publishing support.
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.
Different game
An analytics platform you operate.
Or a service that operates for you.
Kime is a focused European analytics platform - daily scans across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews (with Claude, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek as paid add-ons), a domain citations cockpit, unlimited competitor tracking, share-of-voice metrics, and 5-10 team seats. Lite is €149/mo, Pro is €399/mo, Agency is €499/mo. The dashboard is well-designed and the daily cadence is a real strength. If your marketing team knows what to do with that data and has the in-house content capacity to act on it, Kime is a serious choice.
Found by AI is built for the team that doesn't have that capacity. We don't try to match Kime's daily cadence or dashboard depth - at our €14/month annual monitoring tier, that wouldn't be honest. What we do is run AI Content as a service: planning, writing, editing, publishing support, refreshes, all done for you. If your bottleneck is having someone act on what monitoring finds, that's where we fit. AI Content starts at €199/month and includes AI Monitoring Minimum on every plan.
Where each one sits
Where Kime.ai sits
- Daily scans on all plans across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews - catch visibility changes the next day, not the next week
- Unlimited competitor tracking with a dedicated domain citations cockpit and share-of-voice metrics
- Multi-seat collaboration built in: 5 seats on Lite (€149/mo), 10 on Pro (€399/mo), Agency at €499/mo, free trials on all plans, EUR 2M venture-backed
Where Found by AI sits
- Calm weekly monitoring at €14/month annual - citation, sentiment, and competitor benchmarking included by default, no tier-gating of fundamentals
- Done-for-you AI Content - planning, writing, editing, publishing support - with the optional found-by.ai profile included when useful at no extra cost
- One subscription handles both jobs: AI Content (€199-€799/month) includes AI Monitoring Minimum on every plan
The operating difference
Monitoring shows the gap. AI Content does the work.
Found by AI pairs low-cost AI Monitoring with recurring content production. The found-by.ai profile is an optional included surface, not a separate product or proof claim.
| Generates content? | Publishes for you? | Publishing surface | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kime.ai | — | — | — |
| Found by AI | Yes | Yes | Recurring AI Content; optional found-by.ai profile |
Kime.ai
Found by AI
AI Monitoring is the diagnostic. Recurring AI Content is the paid work; the optional profile is included and can be skipped without changing price.

Frequently asked questions
Is Found by AI a replacement for Kime.ai?
Not really - we're different products. If you have an in-house marketing or content team that can act on daily analytics, share-of-voice metrics, and citation data, Kime is a strong fit: daily scans, unlimited competitor tracking, 5-10 team seats across Lite (€149/mo), Pro (€399/mo), and Agency (€499/mo), EUR 2M backed. If you don't have that team - or you'd rather not staff one - Found by AI handles AI visibility as a service. Cheap monitoring tells you what's happening; done-for-you AI Content addresses what it finds. Two different products for two different buying situations.
Why is Found by AI's monitoring so much cheaper than Kime?
We're not trying to be the analytics product. Kime sells deep daily-cadence analytics; we sell a calm read at €14/month annual with citation, sentiment, and competitor benchmarking included on every tier. We deliberately don't try to compete on dashboard depth or scan frequency - Kime does that better at its price point. We charge for the content work that comes after, not for the monitoring.
Does Kime do AI Content for me?
No. Kime is analytics - domain citation tracking, share-of-voice metrics, trend analysis. Acting on the data is your team's job. Found by AI's AI Content (€199-€799/month) is done-for-you: planning, writing, editing, publishing support, with optional profile inclusion when useful at no extra cost. AI Content includes AI Monitoring Minimum on every plan, so monitoring and content sit in one subscription.
Both are European - does that matter?
Practically, yes - VAT handling, data residency, and timezone-aligned support are easier when both vendor and buyer are in the EU. We're both straightforward to buy from in EUR. But the bigger decision is the product shape: analytics platform you operate (Kime) vs. service that does the work for you (Found by AI). The European angle matters less than which product matches how your team actually works.
Bottom line
Kime is a credible European AI visibility analytics platform - daily scans, unlimited competitor tracking, 5-10 team seats, EUR 2M backed, Lite €149/mo, Pro €399/mo, Agency €499/mo. If you have a marketing team with the capacity to act on rich daily analytics, it's a strong choice. Found by AI is for a different team - one that doesn't want to operate a dashboard or staff the content work that follows. Calm weekly monitoring at €14/month annual gives you the read; AI Content (€199-€799/month, AI Monitoring Minimum included on every plan) does the writing and publishing for you. If you want deeper analytics with daily cadence, Kime is good. If you want the visibility work handled end-to-end, that's us.
