A Scrunch AI Alternative That Changes the Site You Already Own

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 more expensive version of the same one.

They measure and build; AI Visibility measures and Page Optimization edits. 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, and they do all of that well. We write the questions for your business, ask them every day, and report monthly, and when you add Page Optimization we open the site you already publish and make the change there. Their pricing counts seats, prompts, and page audits. Ours is $149 a month per website for 25 prompts on Claude, plus $49 a month for each engine you add. Which one you need depends on whether you are short of information or short of somebody to act on it.

No. Starter is three hundred a month and Growth is five hundred, against $149 a month for AI Visibility. That makes this a comparison where the tracker costs more than we do, so the decision rests on what each dollar is actually buying. Theirs buys measurement across seven AI surfaces, page audits, and an agent facing site. Ours buys 25 prompts tracked on Claude and a plain monthly report, with Page Optimization or Visibility Pro when you want the site you already own edited every month.

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 either subscription 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.

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 license quietly renews and the site stays exactly as it was.

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.

No, and if you are already on it there is rarely a reason to. AI Visibility runs its own daily checks, so the two do not clash. Their measurement is not something we try to replace, so canceling 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.

No. Nothing gets rebuilt, nothing gets migrated, and no platform changes hands. AI Visibility touches nothing on your site. With Page Optimization, 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.

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.

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.

AI Visibility is $149 a month per website and covers 25 prompts tracked on Claude every day, reported each month with a suggested next step. Each additional AI engine is $49 a month. When you want the pages themselves rewritten, Page Optimization is $1,100 a month for four pages a month, and Visibility Pro bundles AI Visibility, Search Reporting, and Page Optimization for $1,200 a month. Most businesses starting from nowhere in AI answers belong on AI Visibility first, and we will say so rather than selling up.

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.

How often the assistants named you, which competitor they named most and how far ahead they are, how that moved since last month, and examples of the questions asked. With Page Optimization it also covers what changed on your pages. It averages every day of the month rather than a single check, because one check of a noisy system is not a measurement. If you want a dashboard as well, keep theirs alongside it.

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 two weeks, 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.

Cancel any time and the service runs to the last business day of that month. There are no partial refunds. 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.
