How did I test Scrunch AI SEO? 

This test was made in October 2025. Be aware that these AI tools evolve quickly, and new features are removed and added weekly.

I personally tested Scrunch AI as part of a larger effort to test all the major AI search visibility platforms. Therefore, this is not an AI-generated review based on the opinions of others.

This review is based on my personal experience of using Scrunch AI for a real-live SaaS / B2B tech company, using the $250/month subscription for 350 prompts.

How does Scrunch AI work?

According to their website content, Scrunch AI's approach involves analyzing tens of millions of prompts across leading AI platforms, then running these prompts through various LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, and Meta AI to analyze how different AI systems respond. The platform tracks how AI agents select and rank content based on structure, context, and relevance.

Here are the 3 core components of how Scrunch AI works:

Prompt-Level Tracking & Processing: Scrunch AI monitors brand presence through user-configured prompts across multiple AI platforms. Users can customize which prompts to track, organized by topics, personas, customer journey stages, and geographic regions. The platform operates at a prompt level rather than keyword level, allowing for more contextual analysis of how brands appear in AI-generated responses. Data refreshes every three days as standard, with newer prompts (within 14 days) updating daily, and users can trigger instant collection for time-sensitive monitoring.

Response Analysis & Benchmarking: The toolkit analyzes AI responses to assess how your brand is mentioned compared to competitors, evaluates the tone and sentiment used to describe your brand, and identifies which sources AI platforms cite. The platform tracks brand presence, position, competitive share of voice, and citation sources across all monitored AI engines, with filtering capabilities by topic, persona, model, and region.

The Documentation Gap

Unlike some competitors who explicitly describe their technical methodology, Scrunch AI's public documentation focuses more on what the tool does rather than the technical implementation details. Based on available information, several questions remain less transparent:

• Whether they monitor live consumer interfaces or rely on API calls
• The specific methodology for prompt generation (user-configured vs. algorithmically generated)
• Whether they capture real-time RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) results with live citations

One notable criticism from third-party reviews is that Scrunch AI "converts keyword data to prompts" rather than tracking actual user prompts, which some reviewers suggest may not always provide an accurate picture of real-world AI search behavior. However, Scrunch AI's product updates indicate users have full control over which prompts are monitored and which platforms each prompt runs on.

What data does Scrunch AI visibility collect?

AI search brand visibility

Scrunch AI analyzes millions of AI conversations to reveal brand perception and positioning across LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, and Meta AI. The visibility dataset includes:

• Brand mentions: Count of how often your brand appears in AI-generated responses
• Brand position: Where your brand ranks in AI responses compared to competitors
• Sentiment analysis: Analysis of the tone and attributes AI uses to describe your brand
• Share of Voice: Your brand's mention frequency compared to competitors, tracked across configured prompts
• Topic coverage: Specific prompts and topics where your brand is mentioned or notably absent
• Platform breakdown: Performance across individual AI engines with granular filtering by model, topic, persona, and region

Cited sources tracking

The platform measures visibility, mentions, competitor gaps, and cited sources with detailed citation analysis. The source tracking includes:

• Citation sources: URLs and third-party sites cited in AI-generated responses where your brand is mentioned
• Source breakdown: Analysis across brand-owned, competitor, and third-party citations
• Source frequency: Which pages and external sources are driving your visibility in AI search results
• Time-series tracking: Monitor changes in citation patterns over time

Prompt and competitive analysis

• Custom prompt configuration: Users define and customize which prompts to monitor, organized by campaign, product line, persona, customer journey stage, or topic
• Competitor benchmarking: Side-by-side comparison of brand visibility against competitors, though current functionality for competitive insights is limited compared to monitoring capabilities
• Historical trends: Track changes over time with standard 3-day refresh cycles for most prompts and daily updates for recently created prompts
• Tagging and filtering: Organize prompts with custom tags and filter dashboards by tags, persona, key topic, or stage for targeted analysis
• GA4 integration: Track real AI referral traffic, landing pages, and conversion data from AI platforms

Where does Scrunch AI take the information?

Scrunch AI has analyzed tens of millions of prompts across major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, and Meta AI. The platform runs user-configured prompts through these AI engines to capture how different systems respond.

However, Scrunch AI's public documentation doesn't provide the same level of technical transparency as some competitors. Key questions remain unanswered:

• API vs. Live Monitoring: The documentation doesn't explicitly specify whether Scrunch AI queries LLM APIs or monitors actual consumer-facing interfaces
• RAG vs. Training Data: It's unclear whether results capture real-time Retrieval-Augmented Generation with live web data, or if some results reflect static responses
• Prompt Generation Method: Unlike SEMRush which uses its own query collection, Scrunch AI appears to rely primarily on user-configured prompts, though third-party reviews suggest the platform may also convert keyword data into prompts

The platform updates every three days as standard, with daily updates for newer prompts and on-demand instant collection available. Users have full control over which AI platforms each prompt runs on, providing flexibility in monitoring across the extensive range of supported engines.

The bottom line: While Scrunch AI provides extensive prompt-level tracking across the broadest range of AI platforms, the lack of transparency about their technical methodology—particularly whether they monitor live consumer interfaces or rely on API calls, and how prompts are generated—makes it difficult to verify if their data captures the same experience actual users see when interacting with AI search engines. The platform's strength lies in its comprehensive platform coverage and user-configurable prompt tracking rather than algorithmic query generation.

What do I think about Scrunch AI's data quality?

As an early-stage AI visibility platform backed by $19 million in venture funding and serving over 500 brands including Lenovo, SKIMS, and Penn State University, I have confidence that Scrunch AI provides accurate data for the prompts being monitored. The platform's extensive AI engine coverage and daily/3-day refresh cycles ensure timely visibility tracking.

What would I improve in Srunch AI?

Here's the revised final section for your Scrunch AI article:

What would I improve in Scrunch AI?

Here are the points that I would improve in Scrunch AI:

1. Deliver Robust Actionable Insights Beyond Beta Status

• "Insights" functionality currently marked as beta and significantly limited
• Lacks the prescriptive, actionable recommendations provided by mature competitors
• Missing content optimization suggestions, schema recommendations, and on-page guidance
• Platform excels at monitoring but falls short on optimization workflows

2. Enhance Competitor Analysis Capabilities

• Limited analytics on why competitors are visible in citations
• Lacks depth in competitive gap analysis compared to alternatives
• Missing signals showing what makes competitor content AI-friendly
• Basic competitor mention tracking without strategic insights

3. Clarify Technical Methodology and Data Collection

• Unclear whether monitoring live consumer interfaces or using API calls
• Documentation doesn't specify RAG vs. training data capture
• Third-party reviews criticize "converting keyword data to prompts" vs. tracking real user queries
• More transparency needed on prompt generation methodology

4. Launch the Promised Agent Experience Platform (AXP)

• AXP has been "coming soon" or in limited testing for extended period
• This is Scrunch AI's most unique feature—an AI-optimized "shadow site" for LLM crawlers
• Auto-detects AI traffic and serves optimized content without changing human-facing site
• Could be game-changing differentiation if/when broadly released

5. Add Integrated Content Editing Tools

• No built-in content editor or optimization workflows
• Requires separate tools to act on insights
• Competitors provide end-to-end optimization capabilities
• Users identify gaps but lack execution layer to fix them

How is the Scrunch AI user experience?

Scrunch AI offers a clean, modern interface that makes AI visibility monitoring straightforward and accessible. The user experience is one of the platform's clear strengths.

The main advantages include quick onboarding with guided setup for prompts, competitors, and brand configuration, intuitive navigation with clear dashboards for tracking brand presence across AI platforms, and excellent filtering capabilities allowing you to drill down by topic, persona, stage, model, and custom tags. The prompt-level organization lets you customize exactly what you want to track, making it flexible for different use cases.

However, the platform's main UX limitation is the lack of actionable next steps. While you can easily identify where you're missing citations or where competitors outperform you, the interface doesn't guide you toward fixing these gaps. The "Insights" section exists but feels underdeveloped compared to the polished monitoring dashboards.

How much does Scrunch AI cost?

Scrunch AI positions itself as an enterprise-focused AI visibility platform with pricing that reflects its comprehensive monitoring capabilities and breadth of AI engine coverage.

Here's the pricing structure:

Standard Plan - $250/month (Note: Some sources cite $300/month; pricing may vary)

• 350 custom prompts across AI platforms
• 3 personas for audience-specific tracking
• Full platform access across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, and Meta AI
• Daily refresh for recent prompts (within 14 days)
• Standard 3-day refresh cycle for older prompts
• On-demand instant collection for time-sensitive monitoring
• Google Analytics GA4 integration
• Custom tagging and advanced filtering

What I experienced during testing:

During my testing phase with the $250/month subscription for 350 prompts, I had access to:

• Comprehensive AI visibility tracking across 7+ AI platforms—the broadest coverage tested
• Full control over which prompts to monitor and which platforms to run them on
• Clean dashboards with excellent filtering by topic, persona, tags, and stage
• GA4 integration for AI traffic attribution
• Site audit functionality for technical AI visibility checks
• Limited actionable insights despite the "Insights" section being available

The package provided strong monitoring capabilities with unmatched AI engine coverage, though the lack of robust optimization guidance felt like a gap at this price point.

Here's what I think about Scrunch AI's pricing:

Scrunch AI's pricing strategy positions it in the mid-to-premium range of AI visibility platforms, betting on comprehensive coverage and enterprise-grade infrastructure rather than competing on cost.

The pricing advantages:

• Most comprehensive AI engine coverage: Tracks 7+ major AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Meta AI)—more than any competitor tested
• Competitive for the category: At $250/month for 350 prompts, pricing is comparable to other serious AI visibility platforms
• Enterprise-ready infrastructure: SOC 2 compliance, RBAC, multi-brand support, and API access justify premium pricing for larger organizations
• Flexible prompt allocation: Recent 5x increase in prompt limits and ability to choose which platforms each prompt runs on adds value
• Transparent pricing: Clear monthly cost without hidden enterprise pricing games
• Agency-friendly: Built for multi-client management with appropriate tooling

The pricing concerns:

• Premium price, beta-level insights: At $250/month, you're paying for monitoring excellence but getting beta-quality optimization guidance
• Limited actionable value: Competitors at similar price points provide content editors, schema optimization, and prescriptive recommendations
• Requires additional tools: Without integrated optimization workflows, you'll need separate tools to act on insights, increasing total cost
• AXP still pending: Paying full price while the platform's most innovative feature (AXP) remains in limited testing
• Not for small businesses: Pricing reflects enterprise positioning—overkill for solo marketers or small SaaS companies
• Better alternatives for optimization: If you need execution tools, not just monitoring, platforms like Writesonic GEO offer more at $199/month

My verdict on Scrunch AI pricing:

Scrunch AI's $250/month price point represents solid value if your priority is comprehensive AI visibility monitoring across the broadest range of platforms. You're paying for best-in-class coverage, clean UX, and enterprise infrastructure—not for optimization guidance.

What's my conclusion on Scrunch AI for AI search visibility?

Scrunch AI's prompt-level tracking approach, extensive AI platform coverage (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Meta AI), and user-configurable monitoring make it the most comprehensive visibility platform tested. The clean UI, quick onboarding, and excellent filtering capabilities demonstrate strong product design, while the GA4 integration, multi-brand support, and SOC 2 compliance offer enterprise-grade infrastructure.

The platform excels at what it was built to do: monitor brand presence across AI platforms with unmatched breadth and accuracy. Daily data updates, customizable prompt tracking, and detailed sentiment analysis provide reliable visibility into how AI engines represent your brand.

However, Scrunch AI's monitoring-first approach creates notable gaps for optimization-focused users: the beta-status "Insights" functionality lacks the prescriptive, actionable recommendations competitors provide, limited competitor analysis fails to explain why competitors win citations, absent content editing tools force users to supplement with additional platforms, and the highly-anticipated Agent Experience Platform (AXP) remains in limited testing despite being Scrunch AI's most innovative differentiator.

The AXP represents a significant opportunity—and risk. On paper, it's a game-changer: an AI-optimized "shadow site" that auto-detects AI traffic and serves restructured, bot-friendly content without damaging the human user experience. Customers in early testing report 9x increases in sign-ups from AI search. If AXP delivers on its promise and launches broadly, Scrunch AI transforms from a monitoring platform into a complete optimization infrastructure. Until then, you're paying $250/month for future potential rather than present capability.

Product maturity is nuanced: unlike rushed-to-market competitors, Scrunch AI's core monitoring is production-ready and polished. The UX isn't buggy; the data isn't questionable. What's missing isn't broken features—it's optimization features that were never built (yet). The $250/month price reflects what you get today: best-in-class monitoring. Whether that's worth it depends on your needs.

My verdict: 3.9/5

Best for: Enterprise brands and agencies prioritizing comprehensive AI visibility monitoring across all major platforms, companies with internal content/SEO teams who can act on insights independently, organizations valuing data accuracy and infrastructure over prescriptive guidance, or teams willing to bet on AXP's potential and wanting early positioning.

Skip it if you're: A small business or solo marketer needing all-in-one optimization with limited budget, looking for immediate, prescriptive content optimization recommendations and integrated editing tools, unwilling to pay premium prices for monitoring-focused platforms, or expecting mature optimization features today—not promises of AXP "coming soon." There are more feature-complete alternatives at similar price points if end-to-end GEO workflows are your priority.
