The Scrunch AI alternative that doesn't require a sales call.
Scrunch AI is a solid enterprise GEO platform. If you're a solo founder, small business or agency, its custom-quote pricing is out of reach. Outerank Pro at $89/mo covers the same core AI-search tracking and adds the entire traditional SEO suite — with self-serve signup, no sales call.

Why teams switch from Scrunch AI
No sales call to get started
Sign up at outerank.com/en/pricing, pick Pro, start tracking within 5 minutes. Scrunch requires a demo, quote, and typically a 12-month contract. If you're moving fast, self-serve wins.
Same GEO job for 90% less
Track brand mentions and share-of-voice across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews. Get sentiment, sources, and content-gap suggestions. Everything Scrunch delivers on their core AI-visibility surface, at Pro tier.
Full SEO stack included
Outerank Pro also runs full site audits with AI-written fixes, keyword research with real Google volume, rank tracking, backlink monitoring and an AI Advisor that knows your project. Scrunch doesn't offer any of these; you'd stack it on top of a $300+/mo SEO tool.
