Scrunch starts at $250, covers four engines, and gates API to Enterprise.

Scrunch AI was one of the first AEO tools to raise venture funding. The pricing still reflects the early-mover positioning; the product itself has been slower to evolve than competitors that arrived later. Core is $250/month for 125 prompts, four engines, five seats, and one brand. Anything past those limits is billed by the seat, by the brand, or quoted by sales.

The scope on Core is narrower than the price suggests. It covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Claude, Gemini, Grok, Meta AI, and DeepSeek all sit behind Enterprise, along with API access and multi-brand support. Extra seats are $25/month each, or $75/month for a pack of five. The trial is seven days and requires a credit card on file.

Bourd is priced the other way around. Starter is $69/month with all eight engines, unlimited seats, unlimited workspaces, and API on every plan. 1,000 free credits on signup, no card. For teams running their first AEO evaluation, the entry cost is lower and the cost of inviting the rest of the team is zero.

Pricing by tier, engine coverage, and public review signals are broken out below.
