vFound compared with other lost and found software
Choosing lost and found software is easier with the facts side by side. Each comparison below uses the other company’s own public website, links every fact to its source and shows the date it was checked.
Every tool here has real strengths, and we say where another option may suit you better. Where a company does not publish something, we write “Not publicly stated” rather than guess.

Where vFound stands out
vFound is built around two ideas: every venue gets its own lost and found website, and vFound AI does the busywork while your team makes the decisions.
- vFound AI on Pro: photo auto-fill, a privacy guard for IDs and cards, matching with reasons, guest search by photo, a lost report chat, claim checks, translation and reply drafts.
- A branded public website for every venue, with found items guests can browse and search in six languages.
- Published prices: Starter US$79 and Pro US$129 a month, or 50% less with annual billing, with a 14-day free trial and no card.
- Custody tools, analytics, Slack and Microsoft Teams alerts, a REST API and signed webhooks, all included in Pro.
- What vFound does not do: shipping labels, postage payments or courier booking. Venues arrange pickup or their own shipping.
Frequently asked questions
How were these comparisons made?+
Each comparison uses the other company’s own public web pages and, where available, official public listings. Every stated fact links to its source, and each page shows the date the facts were checked. Where a company does not publish something, the table says “Not publicly stated” instead of guessing.
Which lost and found software uses AI?+
Several products now describe AI features, and each comparison shows what the other company says about its own AI. vFound AI on Pro fills in item details from a photo, suggests matches for lost reports, lets guests search by photo, checks claims for staff and translates guest messages. Staff decide every claim.
Does vFound charge guests anything?+
No. vFound charges the venue a published monthly or annual price, and guests never pay vFound anything. vFound does not sell shipping, so a venue that posts items back arranges and charges for postage in its own way. Both plans start with a 14-day free trial and no card.
Something here is out of date. How do I get it corrected?+
Use the contact page to tell us what has changed and where the company publishes it. We check every correction request against the company’s own website and update the comparison, including the date it was checked.
