Scrunch AI
Scrunch AI is a well-funded enterprise GEO platform best known for its Agent Experience Platform (AXP), an edge-network layer that serves AI crawlers a lightweight, optimized version of a site, a genuinely distinct technical angle beyond visibility tracking. Where it's thinner is breadth-at-entry-price and workflow depth: its $250-300/month starting tier only covers 4 answer engines (full 9-engine coverage including DeepSeek isn't available at all, and others require custom Enterprise pricing), and independent reviews note it lacks the content-creation/publishing workflows and revenue-attribution depth that round out a full GEO stack. Menttion tracks all 9 major engines including DeepSeek in every plan, stores full answers and citations on every scan, ties AI traffic to Shopify/WooCommerce/Stripe revenue, and pairs its Opportunity Engine with an in-product Content Studio, at a $1 entry point instead of a $250+/month subscription.

[02] Feature by feature
/ Capability ↔ Detail
| Capability | Menttion | Scrunch AI |
|---|---|---|
| Answer engines tracked | 9 engines included in every plan: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, Grok, and DeepSeek | 4 engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Copilot) on the entry Core/Starter plan; Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, Google AI Mode and Grok are added only on the custom Enterprise tier; DeepSeek is not tracked at any tier |
| Full answer & citation storage | Every full answer is stored per scan (not sampled) with mention position, sentiment, and every citation/source URL captured | Offers citation tracking and 'Insights' summaries, but full verbatim answer-text archiving on every scan is not documented on its site or in third-party reviews |
| Sentiment analysis | Net sentiment per engine, attribute-level brand perception, and head-to-head sentiment vs named competitors | Provides a positive/neutral/negative sentiment breakdown vs industry peers, but G2 reviewers explicitly note sentiment analysis 'could be improved' |
| AI crawler monitoring | Tracks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended activity, joined with GA4/GSC referral data | 'Agent traffic monitoring' / Agent Analytics shows which AI bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.) visit the site, feeding its Agent Experience Platform (AXP) |
| Analytics & revenue attribution | Connects GA4 + Search Console + crawler activity to Shopify, WooCommerce, or Stripe, producing an ROI number | GA4 integration attributes AI referral traffic by engine; no public evidence of e-commerce/payment-platform joins to a revenue or ROI figure |
| Technical + AEO page auditing | Crawls every page and grades technical SEO, content depth and AI/answer-engine readiness; generates and verifies robots.txt/llms.txt; optional AI-judged deep-audit tier on metered credits | Page Audits are capped (5/mo on Starter, 10/mo on Growth); its Agent Experience Platform (AXP, Enterprise-only) sits at the CDN edge (Cloudflare/Vercel) serving AI crawlers a lightweight, optimized version of pages |
| Content creation & publishing | Content Studio: evidence-grounded content briefs and AI drafts from citation/prompt data, a block-style editor, and scheduled auto-publish to a blog or feed.menttion.com | No dedicated content-creation or publishing suite; independent reviews note it 'lacks advanced AI-powered content creation and optimization workflows' found in competitors |
| Ranked action recommendations | Opportunity Engine turns every detected gap into a ranked, evidence-linked action pushed onto a task board, categorized (content, site, citations, PR, technical, tracking) | 'Insights' module surfaces optimization guidance and crawl-error alerts; no publicly documented ranked or task-board workflow |
| Starting price | $1 one-time snapshot report, then a build-your-own plan billed only for the engines and prompt volume tracked | $250/month billed annually (or $300/month billed monthly) for 3 seats, 350 custom prompts and 4 engines; only a 7-day free trial as a low-cost entry point |
