The short answer
Choose Peec AI if you track ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews as your primary engines and want the lowest-cost entry point with unlimited seats. The $155/month gap over Scrunch AI Core buys engine coverage you may not need.
Choose Scrunch AI if you need to track Claude, Meta AI, Grok, or Copilot alongside the main three; if connecting AI citations to GA4 conversion data matters; or if SOC 2 compliance is a procurement requirement.

The real cost of engine coverage
Both tools use UI scraping methodology. The core tracking capabilities are comparable. The difference is engine breadth and what you pay for it.
If you track only ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, Peec AI at $95-245/month is the better value. Scrunch’s $250/month Core plan costs more for the same three engines, with the premium covering six additional platforms you may not need.
If you track four or more engines, the cost maths reverse. Adding Gemini to Peec AI at the Starter tier costs $95 + ~$25 = $120/month. Adding Grok, Claude, and Meta AI on top pushes past $200/month on Peec AI for engines all included in Scrunch’s $250/month Core plan. At five or more engines, Scrunch becomes cheaper per engine than Peec AI with add-ons.
The GA4 attribution gap
Scrunch’s native GA4 integration is the feature that separates it most clearly from Peec AI. AI-driven traffic typically shows up as direct in standard GA4 reporting because most AI platforms do not pass referral data. Scrunch attributes AI citation events back to specific sessions and conversion paths in GA4, which means you can demonstrate pipeline contribution from GEO activity rather than relying on correlation.
Peec AI supports Looker Studio data connections, which lets agencies build custom dashboards combining Peec data with GA4 and other sources, but this requires manual configuration rather than a native integration.
