Summary
Scrunch AI and Refine both help brands understand and improve how they appear in AI-generated answers. Scrunch leans toward the broader AI customer-journey and brand-presence story, often with an enterprise flavor. Refine is the focused, action-first tool for founders and lean teams: six engines by default, competitor-anchored share of voice, citation source attribution, and a recommendation on every metric — live the same week. This guide compares the two.
Why this comparison matters
AI visibility tools describe the same problem in different vocabularies — "AI customer journey", "brand presence", "share of voice". What actually matters when you buy is: which engines are covered, how competitor benchmarking works, whether sources are attributed, and how fast you get from signup to a decision.
The Short Answer
Choose Scrunch AI if you want a broader brand-presence narrative across the AI customer journey and are comfortable with a more enterprise-style engagement. Choose Refine if you want measurable, multi-model share of voice anchored to your real competitors, citation source attribution, and a clear next action on every metric — self-serve and live this week, with a free audit to start.

Where Refine Is Different
