Scrunch AI focuses on technical AI crawlability and share-of-voice monitoring. Slingso focuses on the end goal: growing purchase likelihood and attributable revenue from the AI purchase channel.
Slingso
The autonomous AI purchase channel agent
Monitors, analyses, creates, and submits for approval — end-to-end. Applies 4P competitive intelligence per SKU, simulates shopper purchase journeys, and builds compounding brand memory that makes every future run smarter. Goal: purchase likelihood and attributable revenue.
Best for: E-commerce and DTC brands focused on growing revenue from the AI channel, not just monitoring presence.
Scrunch AI
AI visibility monitoring + technical crawlability optimization
Monitors share of voice across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Meta AI, and Gemini. Identifies content gaps and misinformation. AXP (Agent Experience Platform) creates a technical shadow site for AI crawlers — currently in limited pilot. Core from $250/month; Agency from $500/month.
Best for: Brands investing in technical AI crawlability infrastructure alongside share-of-voice monitoring.

Scrunch AI — monitoring + technical layer
Scrunch monitors share of voice, detects content gaps and misinformation, and is developing AXP — a technical shadow site that serves AI-optimized content to crawlers. AXP remains in limited pilot as of early 2026.
Scrunch's focus is on making sure AI models can see and understand your brand correctly. What it does not do: simulate shopper purchase journeys, apply 4P competitor intelligence, create optimised content autonomously, or build compounding brand memory.
Slingso — autonomous execution
Slingso's agent runs the full loop: Monitor detects the gap → Analyse investigates why (4P competitor intelligence included) → Create drafts → Approve pauses for your sign-off. Your active time: 15–20 minutes per week reviewing what the agent produced. Approve, edit, or reject. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.
Slingso — intelligence, not just content
Slingso doesn't just generate content. It reads and acts on signals that content tools ignore: PR activity, community engagement, customer review sentiment, pricing strategy, and promotion moves — all of which directly shift purchase_likelihood.
When a competitor runs a promotion that shifts AI purchase outcomes, Slingso detects it and suggests a counter-action. When review sentiment moves, the agent updates its brief to address the objection. Business intelligence acting on your behalf.
Slingso — compounding memory
Rule-based systems run the same logic each cycle. They don't learn that "framing our product as the affordable alternative increased purchase likelihood 3×" and apply that pattern going forward.
Slingso's agent accumulates per-brand memory with every run. At month 6 it knows which framing works, which competitor 4P moves hurt your AI channel, and which content is being cited. The agent at month 6 is materially smarter than month 1.

Scrunch AI is an AI visibility and optimization platform that monitors brand share of voice across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Meta AI, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. It identifies content gaps and misinformation, and is developing AXP — a technical shadow site for AI crawlers. Core plan from $250/month; Agency from $500/month.
AXP is Scrunch's concept of a parallel, AI-optimized version of your website served automatically to AI crawlers in clean Markdown and JSON. It strips JavaScript and complex code that LLMs struggle to parse. As of early 2026, AXP is in limited pilot — it is a promising future capability, not a broadly available feature.
Share of voice measures how prominently your brand features in AI responses relative to competitors. Purchase likelihood is Slingso's leading metric: how likely your specific product is to be recommended to a shopper in an active purchase journey. Strong share of voice does not guarantee high purchase likelihood. Slingso targets purchase_likelihood because it connects to attributable revenue.
Slingso's Monitor loop runs Product positioning, Price, Promotion, and Place intelligence for every competitor SKU every cycle. A competitor's price drop or promotion launch shifts AI purchase recommendations. Slingso detects these 4P moves and acts. Scrunch tracks share of voice and content gaps; it does not run ongoing 4P competitive intelligence per SKU.
Slingso's MemoryManager builds a persistent per-brand knowledge layer after every run: which content framing drives purchase likelihood, which competitor 4P moves hurt your AI channel, which content is being cited. The agent at month 6 is materially smarter than at month 1. Scrunch runs monitoring cycles without a compounding memory layer.
Potentially. If your site has serious technical AI crawlability issues, Scrunch's AXP (when broadly available) could address the infrastructure layer while Slingso operates the execution loop on top. In practice, most brands prioritize execution — and Slingso's agent publishing well-structured, AI-optimized content already improves crawlability as a byproduct. For most e-commerce brands, Slingso alone is the more commercially focused investment.
