Found by AI vs Trakkr
A draft pipeline you finish, or a service that publishes it.
Trakkr is a well-built tracker bundled with 5 AI-drafted articles per month for your team to finish on your own site ($79/month Growth, ~£62, eight engines covered). It's a sensible bundle when you have an in-house editor who can turn a draft into a published piece quickly. Found by AI does something different: we produce recurring AI Content for you - written, edited, ready to publish, with publishing support - and monitoring sits underneath it. If your team can ship drafts, Trakkr is efficient. If you'd rather hand the writing and publishing off entirely, that's us.
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.
The Core Difference
Trakkr gives you drafts. We deliver finished, published content.
Trakkr is a credible AI visibility tool. It tracks visibility, citations, perception, and competitor share-of-voice across eight AI models - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Metan AI, DeepSeek, and AI Overviews - and surfaces prioritized actions. The Growth plan is $79/month (annual plans include two months free) and includes 5 article credits per month; each credit generates one long-form, AI-optimized draft in your brand voice. The Scale plan ($399/month) bumps that to 25 credits and adds white-label, multi-brand, and agency features. If you have an editor who can take an AI draft, polish it, and ship it through your CMS quickly, that's a real productivity gain at a fair price.
Found by AI is built for a different team - one that doesn't want to run the editor-plus-CMS workflow. We don't try to beat Trakkr on price for the tracking side; our Monitoring Growth is €39/month annual, in the same range. What's different is what comes after: we plan, write, edit, and publish recurring AI Content for you (€199-€799/month). The optional found-by.ai profile can be included when useful at no extra cost. If your bottleneck is producing finished content rather than generating drafts, that's where we fit.
Where each one sits
What Trakkr is best at
- Eight-engine AI visibility tracking - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Metan AI, DeepSeek, AI Overviews - with citation, perception, and competitor share-of-voice analytics
- Bundled article credits for content on your own site: 5/month on Growth ($79/mo), 25/month on Scale ($399/mo). Each credit produces one long-form, brand-voiced article
- Prioritized actions across the diagnostic - what to add, what to fix, where competitors lead - surfaced inside the tracking dashboard
- Free tier with 1 article credit/month and 14-day free trial on paid plans - easy way to see whether the bundle suits you
What Found by AI is doing instead
- Calm weekly monitoring. €14/month annual on Minimum; €39/month on Growth with a personalized site-aware monthly playbook. Citation, sentiment, and competitor benchmarking included on every tier
- Done-for-you AI Content - planning, writing, editing, publishing support, refreshes - so your team doesn't have to finish anything
- No credit pack to manage. You don't track quotas or schedule yourself; we ship the work on a recurring cadence and the optional found-by.ai profile is included when useful
- One subscription handles both jobs: AI Content (€199-€799/mo) 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 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trakkr | Yes (article credits) | No | Customer's own site |
| Found by AI | Yes | Yes | Recurring AI Content; optional found-by.ai profile |

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.

Key Differences
Choose Trakkr if...
- You have an in-house editor who can take an AI-drafted article, polish it, and ship it through your CMS quickly
- You want a single tool that gives you visibility data AND draft generation in one plan, and you're happy doing the finishing work yourself
- You're an agency or multi-brand operation that needs white-label, client portals, and 25 article credits - Scale at $399/mo is built for that
Choose Found by AI if...
- You don't have an in-house editor with the time to polish AI drafts and ship them through your CMS
- You'd rather pay for finished, published AI Content than for a draft pipeline you have to staff
- You want a calm read on AI visibility at €14/month annual with a clear monthly playbook of what to focus on next
- You want one subscription for both jobs: AI Content (€199-€799/mo) includes AI Monitoring Minimum on every plan
Why this isn't 'AI in a coat'.
Every prospect asks the same question: why can't I just do this with ChatGPT myself? The honest answer: you can write one good article that way.
We built an engine for the next 50 - multi-pass humanization, structured review gates, and prompt engineering tuned specifically against the generic AI tone. It's a built product, not a single prompt to a chatbot - and not something a single ChatGPT session replicates.

Frequently asked questions
Are Trakkr and Found by AI directly comparable?
Closer than most. Trakkr's Growth plan is $79/month (roughly €72-€73, around £62) and includes AI visibility tracking across eight engines plus 5 article credits per month. Our Monitoring Growth is €39/month annual; AI Content sits at €199-€799/month. On the tracking side, we're in roughly the same range. The real difference is what happens with the content. Trakkr produces drafts your team finishes, polishes, and publishes. Found by AI produces finished AI Content with publishing support - we do the writing and the publishing work, not the generation.
What's the practical difference?
Trakkr is a tracker bundled with a draft-generation tool - you get visibility data and 5 AI-drafted articles to finish on your own site each month. Found by AI is a service: we plan, write, edit, and publish recurring AI Content for you (with monitoring built in). If you have an in-house editor who can take a draft and ship it, Trakkr's bundle is efficient. If you don't have that editorial capacity - or you'd rather not run it - Found by AI does the work for you.
Does Trakkr publish content for me?
No. Trakkr generates content - each article credit produces one long-form, AI-optimized draft tailored to your brand voice and target keywords. But your team handles the editing, the CMS, and the publishing. That's the right model when you have an in-house editor who's faster with a draft than a blank page. Found by AI handles the writing and the publishing end-to-end, which is the right model when you don't.
Why is Trakkr also on the content-side comparison?
Trakkr is one of the few competitors that does both - visibility tracking AND content generation. Most visibility tools generate nothing; most content vendors don't track. Trakkr straddles both, so they show up in two places: this page (the visibility tracking side) and a content-side comparison at /compare/trakkr. Same competitor, viewed from each side of the problem. The product difference stays the same: Trakkr ships drafts; we ship finished, published content.
Bottom line
Trakkr is a well-built tracker bundled with a draft engine - eight engines covered, 5 AI-drafted articles per month for your team to finish, $79/month Growth (around £62) for a single brand or $399/month Scale for agencies. If you have an in-house editor who can polish drafts and ship them through your CMS, that bundle earns its keep. Found by AI is built for the team that doesn't have that editorial capacity - or doesn't want to run it. We produce finished AI Content for you (€199-€799/month, with publishing support and optional profile inclusion when useful) and weekly monitoring is included. We don't beat Trakkr on price. If Trakkr's draft-plus-edit workflow fits your team, use Trakkr. If you'd rather hand the content production off entirely, that's us.
