Found by AI vs HubSpot AEO Grader
Free tools show the problem. We solve it.
HubSpot's AEO Grader is a free tool that checks your website's AI visibility score across GPT-4o, Perplexity, and Gemini. It is a useful one-time snapshot. Found by AI provides continuous monitoring AND creates the content that improves your score over time.
The Core Difference
A snapshot vs. an ongoing solution.
HubSpot's AEO Grader gives you a free, instant assessment of your website's AI visibility. It is frictionless, requires no credit card, and provides a useful score. For businesses just learning about AI visibility, it is an excellent starting point.
But a one-time snapshot becomes outdated within days. AI search results are probabilistic — the same prompt returns different results each time. Algorithm updates, competitor moves, and seasonal patterns shift your visibility constantly.
Found by AI provides continuous monitoring across 6 AI platforms (from EUR 29/mo) AND creates the content that improves your visibility (from EUR 129/mo for 4 articles per month). HubSpot shows the score once. We track it continuously and create the content to raise it.

Frequently asked questions
Is the HubSpot AEO Grader enough for AI visibility?
The HubSpot AEO Grader is excellent for understanding your current AI visibility score, but it is a one-time assessment. AI search results change constantly due to algorithm updates and competitor activity. For ongoing improvement, you need continuous monitoring and content creation — which is what Found by AI provides.
Why pay for Found by AI when HubSpot is free?
HubSpot shows you a score once. Found by AI tracks that score continuously across 6 AI platforms, compares you against competitors, and creates 4-12 AI-optimised articles per month to improve your visibility. Knowing the problem is free. Solving it requires ongoing monitoring and content.
Does Found by AI also offer a free visibility check?
Yes. Found by AI offers a free AI Visibility Check that provides an instant assessment of your business across AI platforms. Unlike HubSpot's one-time grader, Found by AI's check leads directly into a 14-day free trial of our monitoring platform pre-seeded with your data.
