Scrunch vs AnswerLine

When each fits
Scrunch fits teams that want the numbers read for them in a UI — mention rates, sentiment and recommendations. An API fits teams that already have somewhere for the data to go: a tracking product, an agency report, a warehouse join against traffic or sales.
On Scrunch's Core plan, 5,000 responses a month across 125 prompts costs $250. The same volume here is a for loop over a prompt set priced per response, and you keep the full answer text and every cited source instead of a dashboard aggregate.
