A dot means the vendor does not document that capability publicly, not that the answer is no. Historical data is Search Console retention in months.
Why teams leave Scrunch AI
Scrunch's Growth plan jumps to $500/month month-to-month (or $417 billed annually), more than triple its Starter-tier pricing implied by its feature gates, and white-label or Enterprise Data API access requires moving to custom Enterprise pricing entirely, so teams needing those capabilities can't get a fixed number without a demo.
Scrunch's core metrics — like agent traffic monitoring and page audits — are prompt- and page-count-limited by tier (5 audits on Starter versus 10 on Growth), so content-heavy teams often exceed their allotment and either upgrade or wait for the team to reach out about overage options.
