A Scrunch AI alternative sized for small teams

Scrunch is an enterprise platform, and it is honest about that. It carries SOC 2 Type II, it is well funded, and it solves problems large regulated brands actually have. If you are a two-person agency, none of that is what you are buying. Here is the comparison, fairly.

Sailiently in one minute

Sailiently answers one question — does AI recommend you? — and then helps you change the answer. The AI Visibility Tracker measures your buyers’ real questions across six engines and tells you where you are cited, mentioned, absent, or where nobody owns the answer yet. Citation Radar shows the open web those answers are drawn from. The GEO Optimization tools then audit the competitor pages that won, and draft the page that beats them. Re-run and see what moved.

What sets it apart against Scrunch AI and the rest of the category: it is pay-per-use — $1 = 1 credit, no subscription, a quiet month costs nothing — and it ends in a fix, not a dashboard. Every score is reproducible: paste any URL, including a rival’s, and check it yourself.

The agency tier is the relevant number for most people reading this page: $500 a month before you have invoiced a single client.

Where the gap usually shows up

An agency floor of $500/mo needs volume to justify

At Sailiently's rates that is roughly six full site passes. If you do not run six client projects a month, pay-per-use is simply cheaper.

Hallucination detection is not page repair

Scrunch will tell you when a model says something wrong about your brand. It will not rewrite the page that caused it. Ours produces the draft.

Enterprise features you may not need

SOC 2, persona analysis and multi-market tracking are real value — for buyers who are asked for them in procurement.

What Sailiently does instead

Why Sailiently

Sized for a small book of clients

  • No $500 agency floor. That figure is roughly six full site passes here — if you do not run six client projects a month, per-job is simply cheaper.
  • Repair, not just detection. Knowing a model got something wrong is useful; changing the page that caused it is the job.
  • Reproducible by anyone. Paste any URL — ours, theirs, a client’s — and check the result yourself.
  • Six engines included, with no per-engine add-on lines.

Start with the Tracker

Every question the AI Visibility Tracker measures comes back as one of four states: It runs across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, over multiple passes, because a single query is noisy.

CITED  MENTIONED  ABSENT  OPEN  

A ten-prompt, six-engine run is 15 credits; thirty prompts is 35, or 45 with the LLM Mentions add-on, which shows the domains AI keeps drawing on across your whole category — including sites you would never have thought to check. That is what turns outreach into something targeted rather than guesswork.

Then fix what it found

Sailiently is pay-per-use. There is no monthly fee and nothing to cancel. You run a job, it costs credits, and the output is work you can hand to a client — measured across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode.

$1 = 1 credit. Volume bundles: 100 credits for $85 · 250 credits for $175 · 500 credits for $350 · 1,000 credits for $700. A seven-page site pass is 7 × 12 = 84 credits ($84 at list), so the 100-credit bundle at $85 covers it with credits to spare. Every account starts with 15 free credits and no card.

Where Scrunch AI is genuinely stronger

We would rather you buy the right tool than buy ours. These are real advantages:

Who should switch, and who should stay

Switch if…

You are a small agency or freelancer whose client volume does not justify a $500 monthly agency floor, and you would rather the cost sit inside each project.

Stay if…

Your clients demand SOC 2, you need multi-market or persona analysis, or hallucination monitoring for a regulated brand is the actual job.

Don’t take our word for it — reproduce it

Every signal we measure is a checkable fact: crawler access, structured data, server-rendered content, sitemap declaration. Paste any URL — ours, theirs, or a client’s — and reproduce the result. A Site Check is free and needs no card.

What we do not claim

Frequently asked questions

Is Sailiently a direct replacement for Scrunch AI?

Not in every case, and we say so above. Scrunch AI is stronger on the points listed in the section above. Sailiently replaces it well if you want per-project economics and a fix list rather than a monitoring dashboard.

How much does Sailiently cost?

There is no subscription. $1 = 1 credit. A URL audit is 5 credits, a gap analysis 5, a page rewrite 10. A seven-page site pass is 7 × 12 = 84 credits ($84 at list), so the 100-credit bundle at $85 covers it with credits to spare. Every account starts with 15 free credits and no card.

Which AI engines do you measure?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. All six are included; there are no per-engine add-ons.

Do you guarantee I will get cited?

No, and you should be wary of any tool that does. Citation depends on factors beyond your page, including off-domain authority we do not measure. We report what is measurable and hand you the highest-impact fixes.

Do credits expire?

Credits are bought as bundles and drawn down as you run jobs. There is no monthly fee underneath them, so there is nothing to cancel if you go a month without a project.

About this comparison. Everything stated here about Scrunch AI is drawn from that company’s own public pages and from dated third-party reviews and round-ups, gathered on the date shown at the top of this page. We have not purchased or independently tested every plan described. Pricing, packaging, engine coverage and features in this category change frequently, and figures are reported rather than verified by us. Always check the vendor’s own live pricing page before making a decision — the date on this page tells you when we looked, not that the information is still current. We correct errors promptly: if anything here is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will fix it. No liability is accepted for errors or omissions, or for decisions taken on the basis of this page. Details of Sailiently’s own pricing and behaviour are accurate as at the same date and can be verified on our pricing page.
