Peec AI vs Scrunch (2026): pricing, engines, which to pick
Peec AI and Scrunch both monitor how AI engines mention a brand. They differ on price, on how many engines you get at the entry plan, and on what Scrunch does for AI agents.
Stellarcast is our product, so read this knowing our bias. Every vendor fact below was read from the vendor's own pages on 17 October 2026; anything a vendor does not state is marked "not published".
The short answer
Peec AI is the cheaper and broader monitor: $95 a month buys 50 prompts on three engines of your choice, with unlimited languages and a free trial. Scrunch costs $250 a month for 125 prompts on four fixed engines in one country, and its distinctive feature, serving an optimized copy of your site to AI agents, is Enterprise only. Scrunch served two versions of its pricing page on 17 October 2026, one with a Core plan and one with Starter and Growth plans at the same $250 entry price on annual billing; both are in the table. Pick Peec for analytics on a budget; pick Scrunch if that agent-facing layer is the thing you are buying.
