Questions buyers ask

3RD or KIME: what buyers ask

Should AI publish for us automatically?

It depends on how much of your brand's voice you want to hand over. KIME's agents can execute tasks for you, and you choose which ones run automatically. In 3RD, there's nothing to set up and nothing goes live on its own: you ask 3RD Agent to do the work, it does it in your brand voice, and you check it and publish. If you want it fully automated, connect your own AI agent to 3RD through the MCP server or the API, and it can read your plan and do the work on a schedule.

Which explains why AI picks a competitor?

3RD scores the five drivers AI uses to choose a brand in each market (content coverage, content quality, crawlability, authority, and outreach), explains in plain language which ones hold you back, and turns that into a Playbook toward your goal. Every task is ranked by estimated impact, and the Playbook is checked daily against the latest AI answers.

What does each cost?

Both start at €99 a month with a 7-day free trial. KIME Explorer includes 50 prompts on 2 engines and a monthly number of automatic task runs; Core is €399. 3RD Starter includes 40 prompts on up to 2 AI models, the main reasons AI picks a competitor, and a first plan. Pro (€299) adds any market, unlimited users, and the full diagnosis.

Proof

One marketer, zero to the top five in a quarter

Boë Beauté started at 0.0% AI visibility. One in-house marketer with no GEO or SEO specialist background followed the plan, and within a quarter the brand reached 22.2% visibility and the top five of seven competitors. Read the case →

“3RD didn't just show us where we were visible, but why we weren't being selected in specific AI scenarios.”

FAQ

Moving from KIME

Can we bring our prompts over?

Yes. Export them from KIME, map them to our template, and import them into 3RD as a CSV with prompt, country, language, topic, category, and tags (up to 10,000 prompts per file). Audiences aren't included in the import, so set those up afterward.

Can we run both side by side before deciding?

Yes. The 7-day trial gives full access, so you can compare the diagnosis and the plan on your own brand.

Is 3RD ready for enterprise?

Enterprise brands run 3RD today. Enterprise plans include custom markets, up to 13 AI models, unlimited users, a 99.9% uptime SLA, and a dedicated CSM. Your data is stored in the EU, encrypted, and never used to train public AI models, and a GDPR DPA is included. Your team signs in with Google or Microsoft, with MFA; there is no SAML single sign-on yet.
