What you get with Mentioned

Where the products diverge.

Tracking is the start, not the end.

MENTIONED

Mentioned doesn’t stop at "you got mentioned." Today it tells you what to do about it with prioritised audit fixes and sources to claim. Content to publish and attribution back to traffic are on the roadmap.

SCRUNCH

Scrunch is excellent at the tracking layer (citations, mentions, source attribution). The "now what?" workflow is lighter.

MENTIONED

On the roadmap: generate articles, tutorials, reviews, FAQs and comparisons structured exactly the way AI engines want to cite. Schema.org markup baked in, exportable to HTML or Markdown.

SCRUNCH

Scrunch tells you what’s being cited. It doesn’t generate the cite-worthy content for you.

SCRUNCH

Scrunch is US-positioned. Functional from Australia, but residency, currency and tax handling are the buyer’s problem.

Ask, don’t dashboard.

MENTIONED

Connect GA4 and Search Console today. Soon, ask the AI Agent "did AI traffic move conversions last week?" in plain English and get an answer with the underlying numbers.

SCRUNCH

Dashboard-driven product surface. Power-user friendly, but the "ask in English" layer doesn’t exist.

Why teams switch

Three reasons teams leave Scrunch.

01

You need to act on what you find, not just file it.

Audit score, prioritised fixes and source recommendations today; content generator on the roadmap. Mentioned closes the loop Scrunch starts.

02

You’re Australian and you’re tired of "we’ll need to check residency."

Sydney region, AUD pricing, AU compliance baked in. Buy once, deploy once, no procurement detour.

03

You want one tool, not three.

Mentioned consolidates tracking, audit and recommendations in one platform today, with content generation and attribution on the roadmap. Scrunch covers tracking well; the rest is your stack to assemble.
