Frequently asked questions
Is Scrunch the same as Scrunch AI?
Yes. Scrunch used to be at scrunchai.com, so you'll also see it called Scrunch AI; that address now redirects to scrunch.com. Sitecore acquired Scrunch in June 2026, and it still runs as its own product.
Is SeeRanked cheaper than Scrunch?
SeeRanked Starter is $79 a month and Scrunch Core is $250 per brand. But the plans measure different things: Scrunch Core tracks 125 prompts, with 5,000 responses a month, on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Copilot. SeeRanked Starter checks 10 prompts in 3 cities on all 5 platforms, refreshed every month. Compare them on what you need to track.
Does Scrunch track Google AI Overviews?
Yes. AI Overviews and Copilot come with Core, and AI Mode with Enterprise. SeeRanked doesn't track them; it covers ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok and Perplexity.
Can I see AI results for a specific city?
In SeeRanked, yes: each report shows results for every city in your campaign. Scrunch sets the location by country (1 country on Core), and its FAQ suggests adding the city to the prompt.
What does "logged-in mode" mean?
It means the AI is asked while signed in to an account, as a signed-in user would ask it. SeeRanked's paid plans run signed-in browser sessions. Scrunch's pages don't say. They say it collects data through a mix of browser automation and official APIs.
Can I try either tool for free?
SeeRanked has a free plan: 1 campaign, 1 city and 3 prompts, built from API results, with no card. Scrunch offers a 7-day trial of Core. It needs a card and converts to a paid plan automatically.
