Found by AI vs Get3rd
Both monitor AI. Both offer playbooks. One costs nearly 3x less.
Get3rd is a European AI visibility platform with unlimited prompts, a Quality Score framework, and playbooks starting at EUR 499/mo (Pro). Their Lite tier starts at EUR 59/mo for monitoring without playbooks, with a 3-month free trial. Found by AI starts at EUR 29/mo for verified monitoring and EUR 179/mo for monitoring with playbooks -- nearly 3x cheaper than Get3rd Pro. Found by AI also offers optional content creation from EUR 129/mo, a service Get3rd does not provide.
The Core Difference
Unlimited prompts vs. verified prompts.
Get3rd monitors how your brand appears across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview, and delivers playbooks with prioritized action plans scored by impact and effort. They offer unlimited prompts on all tiers including Lite (EUR 59/mo), unlimited user seats, and a 3-month free trial on Lite. Their Pro tier (EUR 499/mo) adds a dedicated account manager, competitor benchmarking, and phone support. Get3rd is a capable European platform with a strong playbook methodology.
Found by AI takes a different approach: fewer prompts, verified more thoroughly. Each prompt is checked 5x on Growth for statistical reliability -- 50 prompts verified 5 times across 4 platforms produces 1,000 verified data points per cycle. Growth (EUR 179/mo) includes a monthly optimization playbook, competitor benchmarking (up to 9), and citation and sentiment tracking. The trade-off is clear: Get3rd offers unlimited breadth at EUR 499/mo for playbooks, while Found by AI offers verified depth with playbooks at EUR 179/mo. Content creation is also available separately from EUR 129/mo for businesses that want done-for-you articles and editorial directory listings.
