  3. Answer 4 questions below for an honest recommendation based on scope and budget.

What each one actually is

GapCite measures whether AI assistants mention a brand in response to real, unbranded buyer questions across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, Mistral, DeepSeek and Google's AI Overview, a focused measurement and diagnostic tool, from $29/month.

Scrunch calls itself "The AI Customer Experience Platform" on its own homepage, it tracks visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Meta, and adds an "Agent Experience Platform" (AXP) that delivers AI-optimized versions of your own pages directly to agents, plus persona-based prompt libraries.

FAQ

What is Scrunch's Agent Experience Platform (AXP)?

Per Scrunch's own homepage, AXP delivers AI-optimized versions of a company's web pages directly to agents, a content-serving layer, not just a measurement dashboard. GapCite doesn't do this; it measures and diagnoses, and leaves what you publish to you.

Is Scrunch more expensive than GapCite?

Yes, meaningfully. Scrunch's Starter tier is $250-300/month depending on billing; GapCite's full range is $29-259/month.

Does GapCite track Meta AI?

No, not currently. Scrunch's pricing page lists Meta among its tracked platforms, which is a real gap where Scrunch covers something GapCite doesn't.

Does GapCite offer persona-based prompt libraries?

No. Scrunch's tiers include named personas and a library of pre-built "industry prompts" (1,000+ on its Starter tier); GapCite's prompts are the specific buyer questions you define and validate yourself.
