Found by AI vs Kime.ai
Both European. Both track AI. Only one tells you what to do next.

Found by AI starts at EUR 29/mo for verified monitoring, adds a monthly optimization playbook at EUR 179/mo, and offers optional content creation from EUR 129/mo. Kime scans more often; Found by AI verifies each prompt multiple times and includes actionable guidance.
The Core Difference
Analytics vs. analytics + action.
Kime.ai is a focused European analytics platform backed by EUR 2M in venture funding. It scans daily across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, with Claude, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek available as paid add-ons. Its domain citations cockpit, unlimited competitor tracking, and share-of-voice metrics make it a strong choice for marketing teams that already know what to do with data. Kime includes 5 team seats on Lite and 10 on Pro, with free trials on all plans.
Found by AI is a monitoring + improvement service. Each prompt is verified 2x on The Minimum or 5x on Growth for statistical reliability -- 1,000 verified data points per cycle on Growth, compared to single-pass daily scans. Growth (EUR 179/mo) includes a monthly optimization playbook with prioritized actions, a feature Kime does not offer at any tier. Monitoring starts at EUR 29/mo -- 5x cheaper than Kime's EUR 149/mo entry. Content creation is also available separately from EUR 129/mo for businesses that want done-for-you articles and editorial directory listings.
