What Searchpanel is, and who it is for

Proofsource is an AI intelligence platform that shows which buyer questions name your brand in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews, who gets named instead, and exactly what to fix.

Where each shines
Both tools are built well for different teams. Each point is a strength, read from that vendor's own pages.
Where Searchpanel shines
- Per-SKU depth. A daily score for each product suits a catalog business far better than brand-level questions.[1]
- Listings written and published. It generates product content from your verified brand knowledge base and publishes it to your store in a click.[1]
- Gemini and Copilot daily. Both are in its daily panel alongside ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.[1]
Where Proofsource shines
- Claude in the default panel. Searchpanel's engine list does not include Claude. Proofsource asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews every question.[1]
- Built for company-level questions. Which tool, which provider, which alternative: that is how B2B and service buyers ask AI, and those are the questions Proofsource measures.
- Ongoing tracking from the free start. 200 answers. 25 Prompts/Question. Top AI engines. 2 days. Free. No card, no sales call. Every number carries a 95% Wilson interval.
- A published starting price. plans from $9 a month (5 questions on ChatGPT, weekly). Searchpanel does not publish prices.[1]
Proofsource or Searchpanel: the fair verdict
If you sell a catalog and buyers ask AI which product to buy, Searchpanel's per-SKU scoring and listing tools fit that job.
If buyers ask AI which company, tool or service to choose, Proofsource measures those questions directly, shows who gets named instead and drafts the fix.
The overlap is smaller than the shared category label suggests.

Already using Searchpanel?
You do not have to choose on day one. Here is how teams run Proofsource beside Searchpanel and decide on their own data.
Keep Searchpanel running
Nothing about trying Proofsource needs you to stop Searchpanel. Your history and reports there stay where they are.
Bring your questions across
Export or copy the prompts you track in Searchpanel and add them as buyer questions in Proofsource, so both tools ask the same things.
Run both side by side
Read the two for the same days on your own domain. Where the numbers differ, Proofsource shows the answers and the pages each engine cited, so you can see why.
Keep what serves your team
Many teams keep one tool for reporting and another for fixes. Pick on your own evidence, not on a comparison page.
Proofsource or Searchpanel: what buyers ask
Are there Scrunch AI alternatives that score my share of AI-cited pages on the same scale as competitors?
When we asked AI engines that question, some answers named Searchpanel, which scores each of your products from 0 to 100 daily across five engines. Proofsource puts your AI Visibility Index on the same axis as the brands named instead of you, with a 95% interval, and lists the pages each engine cited. We have not verified Scrunch AI's plans here.
