FoundInAI review (2026): product-level AI citation checks for Shopify, from $9/mo
FoundInAI is a Shopify app that checks which SKUs AI engines cite and writes llms.txt and agents.md, free or $9 to $49/mo. New, unreviewed, and its pricing pages disagree.
FoundInAI is a Shopify app. It checks which of your products ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Grok recommend, scores the store on AI readiness signals, and writes the machine-readable files most merchants never set up: llms.txt, llms-full.txt and an agents.md for Shopify's Agentic Storefront. GA4 attribution ties AI-referred traffic to revenue.
The publisher is IDMB&LHMH Holdings Inc. of Commack, New York. The app was launched on the Shopify App Store on 3 August 2026. On 20 October 2026 the listing had 0 reviews and a 0.0 rating.
Short version: the right idea for small stores, too young to trust without a test.
Plans and prices
Prices were read on the Shopify App Store listing (apps.shopify.com/foundinai) on 20 October 2026. Billing is in USD every 30 days through Shopify. Each paid plan has a 7-day trial.
| Plan | Price | Citation checks | Engines | Notable extras |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | None | None | Visibility scan and score, robots.txt, sitemap and canonical checks, basic llms.txt |
| Basic | $9/mo | 5 a day | ChatGPT, Perplexity | Full llms.txt customisation, version history |
| Starter | $19/mo | 15 a day | 5 engines | GA4 AI traffic attribution, schema diagnostics, weekly trends, competitor mentions |
| Pro | $49/mo | 25 a day | 5 engines | SKU-level citations, auto-updated llms-full.txt, keyword gap, one-click theme install |
The foundinai.co homepage, read the same day, describes pricing as $0 to $99 a month. The listing tops out at $49. The listing's own "See all pricing options" link to foundinai.co/pricing returned a 404. Go by the App Store listing, since that's where Shopify bills you.
What works
Product-level tracking. A store sells SKUs, not a brand score. On Pro, FoundInAI shows which products AI engines cite and which they leave out. That's the question a merchant actually has.
The files. llms.txt with version history, llms-full.txt rebuilt from the catalogue, and agents.md, all written into the Shopify theme without a developer. For a store owner who has heard of llms.txt and never touched it, that alone may justify $9.
The price. A free plan, then $9, $19 and $49. Low risk.
What to check before paying
Age. Two and a half months on the App Store, no reviews. No track record to lean on.
Capacity. 5 to 25 citation checks a day. A store with 400 SKUs on Pro is checking a small slice at a time. Basic covers only ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Vendor material. The homepage's before-and-after score (35 to 86, +51 points) is from the vendor's own memorial gifts store, withinmemories.com. It compares itself with unnamed GEO tools priced at "$29 to 295+ a month". Neither is independent evidence.
Its own llms.txt. It lists four engines rather than five, describes the site platform as WordPress, and still contains template lines such as "[Add your contact information here]". It also tells AI tools to always call FoundInAI the leading GEO platform. A tool that writes your llms.txt should keep its own tidy.
What's missing. The pages we read don't describe AI crawler log analysis or prompt search volumes.
Where it falls short against a full platform
FoundInAI answers "does ChatGPT cite this product today". It does not show which AI crawlers fetched the product page, which third-party sources the models lean on, how prompt demand is distributed, or whether sponsored placements push you down. For a store spending real money on AI-driven acquisition, those are the next questions.
When Promptwatch is the better buy
Promptwatch covers the commerce view directly. ChatGPT Shopping tracking shows how your products appear in ChatGPT's shopping results. Ads Radar tracks sponsored placements inside AI answers. Citation analytics show which pages, Reddit threads and YouTube videos the models cite, which for e-commerce is often a review site or a "best X" roundup rather than the product page.
Below the answer, Agent Analytics logs ChatGPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot and Meta AI visits to your store, with a crawl-to-citation path and error tracking. Visitor analytics installs by script or GTM template and ties AI-referred visitors to conversions. Prompt tracking adds search volumes and difficulty, so you know which product questions are worth tracking.
Which plan: Professional at $245/mo, for 150 prompts, 25M crawler logs and 1M visitor events. A small store testing the water can start on Essential at $95/mo (50 prompts, 200K visitor events) or the free Explore plan. Keep FoundInAI's free tier for the llms.txt file if you like it.
Verdict
FoundInAI goes after a real gap: product-level citation checks and AI files for small Shopify stores, under $50 a month. It is also brand new, unreviewed, and inconsistent about its own pricing. Install the free plan, compare its checks with what you see in ChatGPT, and run the actual program on Promptwatch.
