AI Visibility · For agencies
AI visibility tools, compared.
Almost all of them stop at detection.
AI visibility tools tell you where a client appears in AI answers and where they don't. Most of the category sells a deeper dashboard. Found by AI is a white-label AI-search content programme sold through agencies: the monitoring is not a dashboard - it is the brief. Detection is where other tools stop; the production is what we own. Below: honest comparisons, sub-categorised for your shortlist, each one clear about when the other tool is the right choice.
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, is where next month's topics are chosen from. Then the Monthly AI-Search Visibility Report shows what changed.
The wedge is the loop, not any single layer of it.
Deliberately no price table anywhere on these pages. Competitor packaging changes, and a stale figure on our page would be worse for you than no figure at all - check anything commercial on the vendor's own site. What we compare is the difference in shape, which doesn't go out of date. Our own pricing is a partner conversation, not a web page.

Strong enterprise AI-answer benchmarking, built for large in-house organisations. We are the option for an agency without that scale.
Where each one sits
Profound is the enterprise end - bought and operated directly by large in-house teams, and the deepest instrument in the category. Otterly and PromptMonitor are lean monitors for teams who will act on what they surface; PromptMonitor adds publisher-outreach hooks nobody else really matches. BeFound.ai is an agency selling direct, with strategy bundled in. Ahrefs, Semrush and SE Ranking are full SEO suites with AI features alongside - pick one if you do SEO and want a single platform, because we do none of that. Kime, Peec AI and Get3rd are analytics-first products with genuine depth. HubSpot AEO Grader is a starting diagnostic inside a CRM you may already run.
Among the newer entrants: Triple Whale is Shopify-first ecommerce analytics with an AI shopping-answer tracker inside - a different purchase entirely, and the right one if your clients sell products. AthenaHQ, Goodie and Trakkr combine visibility tracking with content generation your team finishes. Adobe LLM Optimizer, BrightEdge, Bluefish and Conductor are enterprise-tier. Scrunch is a deep platform with a strategist alongside, and Writesonic a high-throughput drafting tool with tracking attached.
Found by AI sits outside this list. We are not a dashboard: the monitoring is the brief, and we write, publish and measure the articles that change the answer - under your agency's brand. If what you want is a deeper dashboard, one of the tools above is the right answer, and we'll say so on the call. The full framing - how the loop runs, who signs the articles, what we don't promise - sits on the Compare hub.

Run the loop on one client. Judge us on three reports.
Bring one retained client. We show you the monitoring, the articles it produced, the review flow and a real report. Three monthly reports later, you decide.
Founder terms, for agencies signing up through 31 December 2026: the founder rate is locked when you claim it and runs on a 12-month agreement per client brand, with one brand swap inside the term. Your first client brand is the trial: one retained client, three monthly report cycles, then decide at the third report. Roll out on the founder term, or stop there and take a full export. No minimum on standard monthly terms. No per-brand setup fee; a one-time partner onboarding fee applies, waived for founding partners.
Not an agency? Then we're not the right people to buy from, but your agency might be. Get in touch and we'll tell you plainly whether there's a partner for you.
