A check is a first-class feature, “Partial” means it exists in some form, a cross means it isn’t offered.
- Scrunch raised $14M from CRV. Focused on agent infrastructure (robots.txt for agents, render checks).
- VectorCite focused on the citation-output side: will your page get cited if found?
- Sources: scrunchai.com, vectorcite.digiocular.com.
- Competitor prices are as their sites listed them when this was written (2026). They change often, so check the vendor's own pricing page.
Want the rubric, not the table?
Run your own page through the open 47-signal readiness rubric, see Claude’s live answer and the sources it cites, and get the fixes. About half a minute, no signup.
