FoundNow vs LocalFalcon
Geo-grid rank tracking for Google and Apple Maps that expanded into AI visibility tracking; credit-based pricing.
FoundNow is an AI-visibility product built for 2-10 person local marketing agencies: sample the assistants your clients' customers actually ask, hand them a white-label report, and fix the local data layer the answers read. Here is the honest, side-by-side picture (competitor data from their own materials as of 2026-09-30 - always verify current pricing before you buy).
Side by side
| FoundNow | LocalFalcon | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine coverage | Sampled through each engine's public API, with the exact engines and model versions used listed inside every report; Google AI Mode honestly marked as not covered until a compliant method exists | AI visibility tracking is listed, but the platforms covered are not published on their pricing page - ask them (qualitative - verify on their site) |
| Price per client location | From $49/month for 1 location down to $11.20 per location at 40 (Starter/Growth/Agency/Scale) - white-label included on every tier | Starts at $24.99/month in credits (a 5x5 grid scan burns 25 credits; monthly credits expire) - heavy usage scales fast, per their pricing page |
| White-label | Included on every tier - reports, PDF and dashboard carry your brand, never ours | White-label reports are included (tier details not broken out on the pricing page) |
| One-time report | Yes - a deep audit (20+ core buyer questions, 5+ samples per question per engine) with a competitor gap and fix list, fully white-labeled | No standalone one-time audit product - credit packs fund ongoing scans |
| Local data-layer fixes | The product ships it: a 5-point data-layer checklist (Google/Yelp/Bing/Apple + NAP) plus ready-to-paste LocalBusiness schema, FAQ and service page copy, llms.txt | None - it measures rankings and visibility; the fix work stays with you |
What actually differs, in plain words
- We measure AI answers directly (mention rates with confidence intervals) instead of grid positions on maps.
- No credit accounting or expiring balances - a flat plan covers your locations every month.
- The fix armory (checklist + schema/FAQ/llms assets) ships with the product, not as a separate service you have to invent.
See it on a real business
The one-time scan samples an AI assistant with buyer questions about a location and shows mention rates with 95% confidence intervals - about a minute of waiting, and the full price is credited toward an audit. The methodology page explains exactly how the numbers are produced.
