Scrunch AI alternatives: the short verdict
Placton is one of those alternatives, and we make it, so read this with that in mind. Every Scrunch figure comes from its pricing page (opens in a new tab) and its FAQ (opens in a new tab), read on .
Stay with Scrunch if
You need more prompts on the entry plan. Core tracks 125 prompts for $250 a month; Placton Growth has 75 for $129 and Scale 250 for $299.
Microsoft Copilot matters to you, or you want Perplexity asked more often than once a week. Core asks all four of its LLMs every 72 hours.
You want site audits and a few seats in the same plan: Core includes 5 site audits a month and 5 user licenses.
Choose an alternative if
You want a lower entry price. Placton Starter costs $59 a month; Core costs about four times as much.
You want Claude and Grok without an Enterprise contract. Scrunch lists them only on Enterprise; Placton includes both on every plan.
You want ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews every day. After the first 14 days, Scrunch asks every 72 hours by default; Placton asks those two daily on paid plans.

Pricing is per brand, per month: “Each brand tracked in Scrunch requires its own subscription” (FAQ).
Core and Agency Core list 4 LLMs; Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, Google AI Mode and Grok are on Enterprise.
Its data collection FAQ lists eight platforms and says Grok support is “coming soon”, while the pricing page lists Grok on Enterprise.
Extra users: $25 a month each, or 5 more seats for $75 a month (FAQ)
Annual discounts for Enterprise clients: a year paid upfront is worth “two months free” (FAQ). No yearly price for Core.
Not stated: whether the free trial needs a card; price of the Enterprise plans; data exports on Core.

How often Scrunch re-asks your prompts
Scrunch Core collects 5,000 responses a month from 125 prompts on four LLMs: about 10 answers per prompt on each one, which is what a 72-hour cycle gives. Placton splits its platforms in two rhythms instead.

What it means. On ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, Placton collects about three times as many answers per prompt, so a drop shows up within days. On Perplexity, Scrunch collects about 10 a month against the 4 of Placton’s weekly check.
The first two weeks. Scrunch asks new prompts daily for 14 days, which gives it a fast start on every LLM. Placton asks all five platforms on day one, then keeps its two daily and three weekly rhythms.
Why it matters. AI answers change from one run to the next, so the number of answers behind a figure decides how soon a change is real. Our guide explains how many answers a trend needs.
