What CueScout is, and who it is for
A daily checker that turns evidence into to-dos. CueScout asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and more every day, tracks share of voice, citations and average position, and turns what it finds into evidence-backed to-dos and a weekly site audit.[1]
For small teams and a few brands. Starter covers one brand, or two with 10 prompts each; Growth splits 100 prompts across up to 10 brands. Above that you email for a price, with no call to book.[1]
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 CueScout shines
- Daily tracking for $29. Starter checks 20 prompts every day on three engines for $29 a month, self-serve, and a year costs ten months.[1]
- Gemini and Google AI Mode on Growth. Growth adds Gemini and Google AI Mode to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, for 100 prompts.[1]
- Buyer questions from forums. CueScout surfaces new buyer questions from Reddit, Quora and X for each brand, weekly on Starter and every 3 days on Growth.[1]
Where Proofsource shines
- Claude without an add-on. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews are in the trial and on every Proofsource plan. CueScout charges $19 or $99 a month for Claude.
- Signal separated from noise. A 95% Wilson interval on every rate means a single day's swing is never reported as a trend.
- The fix drafted and ready to review. Each Proofsource gap arrives with a draft built from the pages the engines cited instead, held for your approval.
Proofsource or CueScout: the fair verdict
CueScout is a low cost daily monitor with a plainly written pricing page; for a small team that mainly needs ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, $29 a month for daily checks is a strong offer.
Proofsource earns its place when Claude matters, when you need intervals to separate signal from noise, and when you want the fix drafted for you.

Already using CueScout?
You do not have to choose on day one. Here is how teams run Proofsource beside CueScout and decide on their own data.
Keep CueScout running
Nothing about trying Proofsource needs you to stop CueScout. Your history and reports there stay where they are.
Bring your questions across
Export or copy the prompts you track in CueScout 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 CueScout: what buyers ask
Are there alternatives to Scrunch AI that score my weighted share of AI-cited pages on the same scale as competitors?
Some AI answers to that question named CueScout, which reports share of voice, citations and average position and keeps every page the engines cite, with 3 months of history on Starter and 12 on Growth. Proofsource names, per buyer question, who is cited instead of you and which pages the engines used, with a 95% interval on every rate across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. We have not verified Scrunch AI's plans here.
Does CueScout track Claude?
Yes, as a paid add-on: $19 a month on Starter and $99 on Growth, answering every tracked prompt daily. Grok is a separate $19 pack covering 20 prompts weekly.
How much does CueScout cost?
Starter is $29 a month or $290 a year for 20 prompts on 3 engines, and Growth is $189 a month or $1,890 a year for 100 prompts on 5 engines. Above 100 prompts, it quotes by email.
Is there a free trial of CueScout?
It offers one baseline and one scan before you pay with a free account, and a free first visibility check with no signup; recurring checks need a paid plan. Proofsource's trial: 200 answers. 25 Prompts/Question. Top AI engines. 2 days. Free. No card.
