Findabl

Findabl is AI Citation Intelligence: measurement plus the action layer above it. We send real prompts to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude, then produce Actions across four workstreams (entity anchoring, citation velocity, on-page content, measurement loop). Honest baseline, homonym detection, per-target competitive diagnosis, confidence intervals after four weeks of tracking, and one-click self-audit publishing. No modeling, no estimation.

Scrunch AI

Scrunch AI is an AI visibility platform that collects real responses directly from AI engines using browser automation and official APIs, capturing the full answer text, citations, and brand presence for each prompt. On top of that captured data it layers persona and buyer-journey segmentation and a share-of-voice score. It is geared toward teams that want deep persona and journey configuration, refreshes most prompts about every three days, and starts around $250 to $300 per month.

AI recommendations are probability-based

Noriko Yokoi, Thorsten Linz, and the 3cubed.ai Research Team ran a pre-registered study across 26 unaided buyer questions, four AI engines, and three controlled conditions. The result: brand recommendations shift by engine, query, retrieval source, and time.

2,580
total AI runs

26 unaided buyer questions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity.

50%
repeat consistency, live search on

With live web search on, the odds of the same brand leading twice in a row fall to roughly 50%, even for well-known brands.

27%
four-engine agreement

Only 7 of 26 questions produced the same top brand across all four engines.

10%
median appearance rate

The typical brand appeared in just 1 in 10 responses for its own category question.

28.6%
source concentration

The top 10 cited domains account for 28.6% of all AI source citations.

What marketers should measure

  • One-off checks miss the real picture. Brands need repeated measurement across prompts, engines, and time.
  • Engine disagreement is opportunity. If the four engines pick different brands, no one owns that buyer question yet.
  • Gatekeeper publications matter. The highest-leverage move is knowing which source domains AI engines cite most in your category.
  • Appearance rate beats yes-or-no status. The useful question is how often you appear, where, and whether that number is moving.

The Verdict

Both Findabl and Scrunch capture real AI responses, so this is not a real-versus-synthetic choice. Scrunch is the heavier platform: deep persona and buyer-journey configuration, a share-of-voice score, prompts that refresh for most accounts about every three days, and pricing that starts around $250 to $300 per month. Findabl is the simpler, lower-priced option. It is free to start or $49 per month, takes minutes to set up, runs daily on paid plans, covers all four major engines, stores every raw response in a long-term auditable archive, and hands you Actions across four workstreams. If you want deep persona segmentation and journey modeling, Scrunch fits. If you want fast setup, daily readings, a compliance-ready archive, and a self-serve price, choose Findabl.

Market Context (2026)

Scrunch and Findabl both query real AI engines and store the responses they capture. The difference is shape: Scrunch leans into persona and journey configuration with a multi-day refresh at a higher starting price, while Findabl optimizes for simple setup, daily monitoring, an auditable archive for regulated industries, and a free or $49/mo entry point.
