Scrunch AI review
Scrunch AI pairs prompt monitoring across seven AI surfaces with agent traffic monitoring on every plan, which is the right instinct — knowing an AI crawler came is a different question from whether an answer named you. It starts at $300/mo billed monthly, includes three seats, and does no blue-link SEO. SERP Checker ingests your access logs for the same per-bot crawler analytics, tracks six AI engines and daily Google rankings, and starts at $39/mo.

Where it fits
Good fit when…
- You want prompt monitoring and AI agent traffic attribution from one vendor, on every tier rather than as an upgrade.
- Persona-based tracking is how you think about your market.
- Seven engines including Meta matter, and $300/mo is within budget.
Look elsewhere when…
- $39/mo against $300/mo billed monthly, and crawler analytics is included rather than being the reason for the price.
- Scrunch does no blue-link SEO: no Google positions, no technical audit, no GA4/Search Console.
- The API is Enterprise-only at Scrunch; SERP Checker’s REST API and MCP server are on the Business tier.
- You need an EN/RU/UK/PL/SK/CS/DE interface and white-label client reports.
