Scrunch AI is an AI visibility and agent-experience platform for brands and agencies. Its Core plan tracks 125 prompts across four AI platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Copilot per its site), with site audits, sentiment analysis and an enterprise tier that expands to nine platforms plus an Agent Experience Platform (AXP).
As a Scrunch AI alternative, RankedByAI is the low-commitment option in the same category: instead of a $250/mo starting point, you get a free graded scan with a permanent public link, and a weekly diagnose → fix → verify loop priced for small businesses.
