How these comparisons were checked · 18 October 2026. Published by IndexHalo. IndexHalo is one of the products being compared. This is a source-based buying guide, not an independent review or a hands-on test of the competitor’s paid product. Product names identify their owners and do not imply endorsement.
Reporting and diagnostics, or an agent-facing website programme?
Evaluate IndexHalo for a report-centred process that joins retained answers, website findings and action briefs under a complete-search budget. Evaluate Scrunch when its agent traffic and agent-facing delivery approach is part of the project. IndexHalo’s content bundles support your publishing workflow; they are not an equivalent to an agent delivery infrastructure product.
What the current vendor page says
Scrunch lists Starter at $300 month-to-month or $250/month billed annually, with 350 custom prompts, three users and five page audits. Growth lists $500 month-to-month or $417/month billed annually, with larger allowances. Enterprise is custom priced.
Scrunch describes prompt monitoring, citations, page audits and agent traffic monitoring. It also positions AXP for agent-facing experiences. Confirm AXP availability, implementation and commercial terms rather than assuming it is included in a particular monitoring package.

What IndexHalo includes
Professional: $49 USD/month for 100 credits; Business: $129 USD/month for 300 credits; Agency: $299 USD/month for 750 credits, plus applicable tax. Every tier has the same IndexHalo feature set; the monthly search allowance changes. One credit covers one complete question, market/language and run across selected available sources. Monthly credits reset without rollover. Separately held non-expiring credits remain distinct. Reading and exporting saved reports does not use another search credit.
Multiple included sources do not multiply the credits. A repeat run is another search; two market/language combinations require two searches.
The workflow takes you from a buyer question to original answers, brand mentions, source relationships, practical actions and a stakeholder report. Consumer experiences and API-labelled evidence retain their collection labels. Referrals and crawler-activity views need their stated inputs. A full feature set within IndexHalo does not imply feature parity with another vendor.
A workload worth pricing
An agency with five clients, 15 questions each and four measurement rounds in one market needs 300 IndexHalo searches. That fits Business. Scrunch’s 350 custom prompts are a different allowance: confirm repeat frequency and source rules before trying to equate the two numbers.
These are planning examples, not customer outcomes. Confirm actual calendar dates, markets, languages, collection methods and source availability. An included prompt, a model response, a corpus lookup and an agent action are different quantities. Calculate both the invoice and the work required to produce a useful result.
How to evaluate both products
Pick one business-critical page and one buyer question. Review how each product explains the answer evidence and page issue. If agent-facing delivery is required, assess implementation, ownership and verification as a separate workstream, with its own success criteria.
- Freeze the questions, market and purpose before testing.
- Inspect an original answer and its timestamp rather than comparing headline scores alone.
- Check whether a source is retrieved, cited at response level or attached to a specific passage.
- Preserve failures and unknown values; do not convert them into observed negatives.
- Export a report for a real stakeholder and check its readability and evidence.
- Record current commercial terms, required add-ons and any unresolved requirements.

Choose the workflow that supports the decisions you will make repeatedly. A higher collection frequency is useful when it changes those decisions; a richer report is useful when a team can act on it. Neither an advertised feature list nor a small sample establishes superior accuracy, guaranteed citations or future revenue.
Start with a real IndexHalo example report, follow the Academy workflow, or run your first report. For the wider shortlist, use the seven-product comparison hub.
What this comparison does not establish
We have not independently tested Scrunch’s paid collection, sampling, citation extraction, report accuracy or support response. A public feature listing cannot resolve those questions. Ask the vendor to demonstrate the exact workflow and explain its measurement rules using a real retained answer. The source-based descriptions above should guide an evaluation, not substitute for one.

Common questions
Are the pricing units directly comparable?+
No. Calculate questions, markets, languages, source coverage and repeat runs, then apply each vendor’s billing rules. A daily tracked prompt is not one monthly complete search.
Does IndexHalo restrict features by subscription tier?+
All IndexHalo monthly tiers include the full feature set. The included search allowance changes, and monthly credits do not roll over.
Was the competitor’s paid product independently tested for this guide?+
No. Competitor descriptions are based on dated official sources. Validate important requirements through the vendor and a suitably scoped evaluation.
