Scrunch AI, now a Sitecore company, is an enterprise-grade AI visibility platform whose headline feature is the Agent Experience Platform: a version of your site served to AI agents. Its self-serve Core plan is a way to evaluate the product, and it shows: $250 a month for four engines, one country, one language, and no API or MCP. If Core is too narrow and Enterprise too big, these are the alternatives to compare.
Prices are the public list prices on each vendor’s site on 29 September 2026. We build one of these tools, Mencoro, and describe the others as we would want ours described.
Why look for a Scrunch alternative
- Four engines on Core. ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews and Copilot. Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, AI Mode and Grok are Enterprise.
- One country and one language on Core.
- No API, MCP or Looker Studio below Enterprise.
- Data depth. G2 reviewers mention data limitations and restricted exports, and ask for a lighter plan.

The best Scrunch alternatives
Mencoro
Mencoro gives you what Core leaves out at a much lower entry price: AI Mode alongside ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overview, any of 196 countries per query, the Google SERP and Shopping in the same project, and the REST API and MCP server on every plan. Mentions are classified into five types and scored for sentiment, and share of voice is weighted by both. Pricing is per check from €15 a month, with unlimited projects, competitors and users. It does not have an equivalent of Scrunch’s agent-facing pages, and it does not track Copilot, Claude or Gemini.
Peec AI
Peec AI tracks daily with unlimited users from €85 a month for 50 prompts on three models of your choice, and has strong source analytics, AI Shopping and agent analytics. The API is Enterprise only.
Otterly.AI
Otterly.AI covers the same four engines as Scrunch Core from $29 a month for 15 prompts, and Standard, at $189, gives 100 prompts with the API, the MCP server and a Looker Studio connector.
AthenaHQ
AthenaHQ covers 11 engines on its $295 Starter plan, including the five Scrunch reserves for Enterprise, with prompt volumes and content actions. It is also limited to one region on Starter.
SE Visible
SE Visible gives 200 prompts on five engines, AI Mode and Gemini included, for $99 a month, with an API and a 10-day trial. It covers seven countries.
Rankscale
Rankscale covers more than 17 engines and all regions on its $99 Pro plan, priced in credits per engine, with page audits, shopping analysis and an MCP server.
Profound
If Scrunch Enterprise is on your shortlist, Profound is its closest peer: up to nine engines, agent analytics, ChatGPT Shopping and content agents, priced by quote after a free trial.
Brandlight
Brandlight is the other enterprise option, built for Fortune 500 brands, with technical health monitoring, publisher intelligence and agentic commerce. There is no public price or trial.
How to choose
- If you need an API or MCP without Enterprise, Mencoro, SE Visible and Otterly.AI (Standard) include them.
- If you need several countries, Mencoro charges them per check and Rankscale Pro includes all regions.
- If agent-facing pages are the reason you chose Scrunch, compare it with the enterprise platforms rather than with trackers.
