Scrunch AI Alternative | The Site You Already Own

What Scrunch builds, and the one decision worth reading twice

A broad product at a serious price, and an architectural choice buried in the feature list

Starter is three hundred a month, or two hundred and fifty paid annually. Growth is five hundred, or four hundred and seventeen annually. Enterprise is quoted. Starter carries three user licences, three hundred and fifty custom prompts, a thousand industry prompts, three personas and five page audits. Growth raises those to five, seven hundred, two thousand five hundred, five and ten. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews and Meta are read on every plan with nothing billed on top, which is more than anything else on this hub includes at any tier. We are four hundred and ninety nine, one dollar under their Growth plan month to month. Those figures came off their published pricing page today.

Seven AI surfaces on every plan, with no add-on invoice for Claude or Gemini

The measurement is broad and nothing on this page disputes it. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews and Meta are all covered on the entry plan, with no add-on invoice attached to any of them, which several rivals on this hub cannot say at four times the money. Three hundred and fifty custom prompts sits well above what most of this category allows for the same fee. All of it still describes a website that nobody has opened.

Starter audits five pages a month, and an audit is not a rewrite

Their Page Audits are good and the fixes they surface are usually the right ones. An audit reads a page, works out what is costing you the answer, and says what to change. Starter covers five pages a month and Growth covers ten. Every finding is then a job for a person with a name, a login and a free afternoon. Auditing a page and rewriting a page are two separate pieces of work, and only the first one is inside the subscription.

This page argues with one decision, and it is where the content ends up sitting

A Prompt Manager, citations tracking, agent traffic attribution, personas, unlimited key topic monitoring, page audits, Google single sign on across every plan, and AXP, which generates an AI friendly version of your site for agents to read. Lenovo, Skims, Crunchbase and Penn State sit on their customer wall and they put the total at five hundred companies and agencies, so this is not a thin product. What follows argues with one decision inside it, which is whether the content that earns the answer belongs on a generated copy of your site or on your site.

Two places the content can live, set beside each other

Scrunch AI will tell you which of seven AI surfaces name a competitor instead of you, audit five of your pages, and generate an agent facing copy of your site for you. It will not open the site you already own and change it.

One column is software that reads seven AI surfaces, scores what they say, audits a set number of pages, and generates an agent facing version of your site. The other is people with editor access who rewrite your own pages, write the markup, reopen the crawler path and come back when an answer turns. Theirs opens at three hundred a month with a free trial, and their Growth tier is five hundred against our four hundred and ninety nine. At that tier the money is a wash, so the only question left is what the money buys.

Cascadia

Prompts chosen with your margins on the table, then your own published pages rewritten so the answer sits in the first hundred words, the entity markup written in, the crawler path checked and reopened, and somebody back again when an answer turns. Auditing happens here too. The difference is that whoever finds the problem is also whoever fixes it, on the pages you already publish, that week. Nothing new gets published anywhere you do not control.

Without Cascadia

Seven AI surfaces read on every plan with no add-on invoice, three hundred and fifty custom prompts, personas, citation and agent traffic tracking, five page audits a month, and an agent facing copy of your site generated for you. What it needs from you is the one thing no subscription supplies, which is somebody holding the site login, the standing to change a published page, and a free afternoon in a week they have already lost. Where you have that person, buy the software and skip us, and we say so again further down.

Scrunch AI

Where Scrunch AI fits

If somebody there holds editor access to the site, has the standing to change a published page, and can give it an hour most weeks, buy the software and skip us. Three hundred against four hundred and ninety nine is a real saving, and the seven day trial settles it before anybody spends anything. The same applies if the breadth of the measurement is what you came for, or if AXP is, because we do not sell tracking and we do not build agent facing sites. We do not resell it, we are not affiliates, and we earn nothing whichever way you go.

Cascadia Web Services

Where the measuring half is already solved

We are for the case sitting underneath that one, where the advice has been open in a browser tab for a month and what is missing is somebody to work through it.

Where Scrunch AI is strong

Seven AI surfaces on every plan, with none of them sold to you separately

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews and Meta are all read on the three hundred dollar plan, with no engine held back for a higher tier and no add-on invoice attached to any of them. Others on this hub bill separately for Claude and Gemini, or reserve the wider set for an enterprise contract. If breadth of coverage is the thing you are buying, they have the strongest answer on this hub, and we do not sell measurement at all.

Three hundred and fifty custom prompts, and a thousand more from their library

Rivals on this hub open at fifteen, fifty and fifty tracked prompts. Starter here allows three hundred and fifty of your own, plus a thousand industry prompts somebody else wrote, three personas and unlimited key topic monitoring. If your catalogue is wide, that difference is the whole decision and nothing further down this page argues with it. Growth doubles the custom prompts and takes the library to two thousand five hundred. What follows argues about the hours after the platform tells you something.

Agent traffic monitoring on every plan, which most of this category charges for

They report the traffic AI agents themselves send to your site, on every plan rather than as an enterprise add-on, alongside citation tracking and persona level reporting. Several rivals on this hub reserve that for a custom contract or do not offer it at all. Google single sign on is on every plan too, with SAML and the Data API held back for Enterprise. There is a free trial, so none of it has to be taken on faith.

AXP builds an agent facing version of your site, which nobody else here does

Their Agent Experience Platform generates an AI friendly version of your site for models and agents to read, which is a different product from tracking and nothing else on this hub attempts it. Growth at five hundred adds strategy reviews on top of the customer success contact every plan carries, and raises the allowances to five seats, seven hundred custom prompts and ten page audits. If that architecture is what you came for, it is an honest reason to close this page entirely.

All of that stands and none of it is grudging. Every product on this hub measures, this one measures more broadly than any of them, and it goes on to build something out of what it finds. The page turns on a narrower question. Once the audit exists, who carries it out on Thursday, and which website ends up holding the result.

What four hundred and ninety nine buys that a platform licence cannot

Every recommendation gets an owner, a date, and somebody who finishes it

The answer moves into the first hundred words instead of the ninth paragraph, the markup goes in, the internal links get pointed at it, and it ships. No ticket goes to your developer and no afternoon of yours disappears into it. Software can produce the audit for three hundred dollars. Acting on the audit is the whole job, and at their Growth tier it is very nearly the only thing separating the two invoices.

Nothing here is counted by the seat, the page audit, or the plan tier

No seat licences to count before a colleague can see the work, no twenty five dollars a month for the fourth person who wants a login, no monthly ceiling on how many pages get opened, and no tier above the one you are on holding something back. Four hundred and ninety nine covers prompt selection, page rewrites, structured data, crawler access and monthly citation monitoring. Growth at nine hundred and ninety nine roughly doubles the pages worked on and adds competitor share of voice.

A quarter that went nowhere gets explained in writing, by a named person

Their plans carry a customer success contact and Growth adds strategy reviews, so there is somebody to ask. What is not on offer is somebody accountable for the pages themselves. The work here runs on a calendar we keep, and a quarter that produced nothing gets a written explanation rather than a fresher chart. Thirty days notice from month one, and the first read of what the engines already say about you happens before any money changes hands. Four hundred and ninety nine is what a month costs, and unlike theirs there is no seventeen per cent annual version of it.

The tracking tools sit on our side of the invoice, seat licences and all

Citation monitoring, the tooling behind it, keyword data and the crawl checks are our cost rather than another line on yours. Nothing to renew, no tier to climb, no seat to add, and no page waiting on whoever holds the login this afternoon. What you buy is changed pages on a website you already own, and nothing of yours ends up published anywhere else. Set beside their Growth tier at five hundred, the software fee is not the difference at all. The hours and the ownership are.

Scrunch AI will score your standing across seven AI surfaces, audit your pages, and build an agent facing version of your site for the models to read. Our case is about the hours after that audit lands and about where the result finally sits: which items are worth doing, who writes the markup, who reopens the crawler path, and whose domain keeps whatever standing gets earned. The same reasoning sits underneath the rest of our managed marketing services.

Onboarding process

What the first ninety days look like when somebody acts on the audit

Almost all of the effort sits with us. The reading stage refuses to be hurried, and a generous prompt allowance makes that more true rather than less. Three hundred and fifty tracked prompts is three hundred and fifty chances to measure something that was never going to sell anything.

Nothing gets touched until we know what the engines answer this week

We put the questions a buyer would type before they have ever heard of you, and record what comes back word for word. Which competitors get named, which sources the answers lean on, and whether any page of yours appears in the reasoning at all. While we are in there we check that the AI crawlers can actually reach you, because a plugin quietly refusing them explains the whole problem more often than anybody expects.

The things the engines have already half learned about you get corrected first

Pages that bury the answer eight paragraphs down get restructured so it sits at the top. Entity markup goes in. The three different descriptions of your business living on three of your own pages get reconciled into one. Anything a model has plainly learned wrong gets corrected where it learned it. Nothing risky ships without being staged and talked through first.

The prompt set gets built around margin, and most candidates are rejected

Prompts get chosen with your pricing sheet on the table rather than by category convention or by whatever an industry prompt library proposed. Being named in the one answer that comes before a purchase beats being named in twenty that lead nowhere, and telling those apart depends entirely on what you sell and at what margin. The set arrives with the rejected candidates still on it and a line against each, because the rejecting is a large part of what you are paying for.

Pages start shipping, and somebody signs the month that produced nothing

Pages get rewritten, marked up and shipped. Each month a short summary covers which answers named you, which named somebody else, what changed on the site, and what we intend to do about whatever did not move. Answers are noisy, so it reads across a rolling window rather than one morning's check. A quarter that produced nothing gets a written explanation with a name on it rather than a fresh chart of the same shape.

Two ways a broad platform and a flat revenue line sit together

Two situations with one thing in common. In both the platform worked exactly as sold, every number on it was correct, and the audit it produced was sensible. What was missing in each was somebody to carry that audit out, which is part of what our managed SEO service is for.

A laptop showing a dashboard that nobody has acted on

How this plays out

Two years of correct scores, and not one page had ever been edited

The subscription renewed twice and the dashboard was opened most Mondays. Every prompt was tracked correctly, every competitor was named correctly, and the page audits were reasonable throughout. When somebody finally looked at the site, the pages those audits kept naming had not been touched since before the platform was bought. Three seat licences were in use, and not one of the three belonged to anybody who could publish a page.

When this comes up

The score never moved, and a security plugin turned out to be the reason

Two quarters of accurate reporting that the brand appeared in nothing at all. The prompt set was rewritten, then rewritten again, and the number stayed exactly where it had started. A security plugin installed during an unrelated cleanup had been refusing the AI crawlers the entire time. The agent traffic panel had been reporting almost no visits for both quarters, so the answer was on screen the whole time, and nobody had put the two screens together.

499

Dollars a month, with no seat licence and no page audit ceiling behind it

Prompt selection, page rewrites, structured data, crawler access checks and monthly citation monitoring, with nothing metered behind any of it and no licence to buy for the next colleague who wants to see the work. Growth at nine hundred and ninety nine roughly doubles the pages worked on each month and adds competitor share of voice benchmarking.

Setup fee, no minimum term, and no annual discount to weigh against it

No onboarding charge, no minimum term, and four hundred and ninety nine is a monthly figure rather than an annual one divided down. Month to month on thirty days notice. Their published discount for paying a year up front is seventeen per cent, which takes Starter to two hundred and fifty and Growth to four hundred and seventeen, and is worth holding in mind when the two numbers get set beside each other.

6-12

Weeks before a rewritten page starts turning up in AI answers

Six to twelve weeks in most cases, and longer again where a model leans on sources it has trusted for years. The same prompt asked twice in one day can name two different companies, which is why one check proves nothing and the reporting runs across a rolling window instead.

Scrunch AI alternative and managed GEO FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Scrunch AI alternative?

Anything that tells you how AI answers treat your brand, or changes how they treat it. That covers rival trackers such as Profound, Peec AI and Otterly, the AI visibility modules now bolted onto general SEO suites, a freelancer with a spreadsheet of prompts, and managed services such as this one where somebody also edits the site. This one is the broadest of the trackers at the entry tier and the only one that also builds an agent facing version of your site. We are in the last group, which is a different purchase rather than a dearer version of the same one.

How is Cascadia different from Scrunch AI?

They measure and build, we edit. They put your prompts to seven AI surfaces, score what comes back, audit a set number of pages, and generate an agent facing copy of your site, none of which we sell. We take the findings, open the site you already publish, and make the change there. Their pricing counts seats, prompts and page audits. Ours counts nothing. Which one you need depends on whether you are short of information or short of somebody to act on it.

How does your price compare to theirs?

We are four hundred and ninety nine a month, billed monthly, with no annual version of it. Their Starter plan is three hundred a month, Growth is five hundred, and Enterprise is quoted, with seventeen per cent off for paying a year up front. That puts Starter at around sixty per cent of our fee and Growth one dollar above it. This is the closest price match on the hub, and it is worth saying plainly that at Growth you are not choosing on price at all. Those are their published numbers, read this month. Only one of the two includes somebody doing the work.

Is Scrunch AI cheaper than this?

Starter is, at three hundred against four hundred and ninety nine. Growth is not: at five hundred a month it costs a dollar more than we do. That makes this the one comparison on this hub where the price barely enters into it, so the decision rests on what each five hundred dollars is actually buying. Theirs buys measurement across seven AI surfaces, page audits and an agent facing site. Ours buys people editing the site you already own. Neither one is the cheap option here.

Why pay this when the platform does so much more?

Because it does more of a different thing. It measures across more AI surfaces than anything else on this hub and it builds an agent facing site, and none of that opens a page you have already published. The expensive part is somebody with editor access who reads the audit, decides which items are worth doing, does them, ships the markup, and is still at it in month seven. That person costs a great deal more than four hundred and ninety nine whether you employ them or hire them. If they are already on your payroll, buy the platform and keep the difference. We would rather say so than take the order.

Why not buy the subscription and act on it ourselves?

You should, if somebody there will actually do it. On Starter it is the cheaper path and this page says so more than once. The reason it goes wrong is not that the audit is hard to read, because theirs is unusually clear and it names the page for you. It is that acting on it means editing a live page, and editing a live page needs access, confidence and a free afternoon. Those three rarely arrive in the same week, so the licence quietly renews and the site stays exactly as it was.

Should we buy this at all?

Often not, and month one is a far better time to establish that than month six. If nobody in your market is asking a model about what you sell yet, none of this matters, and that is still true of more industries than the category likes to admit. Their seven day trial will show you that for nothing, and so will we. This starts to make sense when buyers are clearly asking, the answers name somebody else, and nobody on your side has the hours to change it.

Do we have to stop using Scrunch AI?

No, and if you are already on it there is rarely a reason to. We will work inside your own account, though seats are counted here, so on Starter that means one of your three licences or twenty five dollars a month for another. Worth knowing before anyone assumes it costs nothing to arrange. The measurement is something we do not sell, so cancelling it in order to hire us would cost you something and gain you nothing. We will say if it has stopped earning its keep, but that is a separate question from whether to hire us.

Does anything break while you take over?

No. Nothing gets rebuilt, nothing gets migrated, and no platform changes hands. Pages are edited one at a time on the install you already own, and anything carrying real risk is staged and discussed before it goes near production. The change we most often make in week one is to a robots file or a firewall rule, because that is where the problem sits more often than anyone would guess, and you hear about it beforehand rather than afterwards.

What if our pages were already hit by a search update?

Then that comes first and the timeline stretches. Classic ranking damage and AI invisibility are different problems with a large overlap, and working on the second while the first is unresolved wastes the retainer. We establish which it is, whether the cause was a manual action, an algorithmic change, or something that only resembles one, and what has to be rewritten or removed before anything else begins. Anybody offering you a date for that is guessing.

Do you host the site or own the content?

No to both. The site stays on your own hosting under your own domain, and every page and every piece of markup belongs to you. This is the question the whole page turns on. AXP, their Agent Experience Platform, generates an AI friendly version of your site for agents to read. That is a real capability and for some businesses it is the better answer. It also means part of what the models see is a copy produced and held outside your own install. Everything we change is your own page on your own domain, and it stays there whether you keep paying us or not. Ask them where the agent facing version lives and who keeps it if you leave, because that is the honest form of this question.

What is included at each tier?

Two sizes and no meter behind either of them. Managed GEO is four hundred and ninety nine a month and covers prompt selection, page rewrites, structured data, crawler access checks and monthly citation monitoring. Growth at nine hundred and ninety nine roughly doubles the pages worked on each month and adds competitor share of voice benchmarking and coverage past a single product line or market. Nothing runs out in the third week and there is no add-on to buy afterwards. Most businesses starting from nowhere in AI answers belong on the first, and we will say so rather than selling up.

Do you guarantee we will get mentioned?

No, and treat anybody who does with suspicion. Nobody outside the model providers decides what an answer says, the same prompt can name two different companies inside a single day, and models retrain without notice. A guarantee here is either hedged until it means nothing or pinned to prompts so obscure that winning them proves nothing. What we commit to is work done, shipped and reported, with the months a number moved the wrong way shown beside the months it did not.

What does the monthly report actually contain?

Which answers named you, which named a competitor instead, what we changed on the site, and what we intend to do about whatever did not move. It runs on a rolling window rather than a single day, because one check of a noisy system is not a measurement. There is no dashboard to log into and nothing for anybody to learn, which suits some people and not others. If you want a dashboard as well, keep theirs and we will read it alongside you.

How long before we see a difference?

Six to twelve weeks for a rewritten page to start turning up, and longer where a model leans on sources it has trusted for years. A crawler that was blocked and is now open can move faster, sometimes inside a fortnight, because the problem was never the page in the first place. Anything described as immediate in this category is describing a dashboard filling up, which is a different thing entirely.

What if I want to leave?

Thirty days notice ends it and nothing is stranded. The site, the pages and the markup were always yours, so there is no account to migrate and nothing at all to hand back. Standing in AI answers does decay once the work stops, because competitors keep publishing and models keep retraining. That is the nature of the channel rather than a lock in, and we would rather you knew it before signing than after leaving.
