# Migrate from Scrunch AI to Citekit: schema tooling (2026 guide) How to move from Scrunch AI to Citekit when schema tooling is the reason: data mapping, parallel running, cutover and the first 30 days. Canonical: https://citekit.apps.antelligen.com/migrate/migrate-scrunch-ai-to-citekit-schema-tooling Leaving Scrunch AI over schema tooling is a reasonable decision, but migrations fail on the boring parts: prompt history, reporting continuity and the two weeks when nobody trusts either tool. This is the plan we use to move a team without losing the trend line. The short answer Plan for 30 days of parallel running. Export the prompt set, rebuild the 50 revenue-critical prompts first, keep Scrunch AI read-only for a quarter, and cut over reporting only after two matching weekly reports. The technical import is the easy part; the reporting agreement is the hard part. ## Why teams leave Scrunch AI for schema tooling Scrunch AI is good at strong content recommendations. The friction usually appears later: no api on lower plans, then shallower reporting depth. When schema tooling becomes the deciding factor, the question is not whether Citekit is cheaper — it is whether the switch preserves the numbers your board already saw. ## What actually transfers Migration inventory. Asset Transfers? How Prompt list Yes CSV export, then re-import; wording is preserved exactly. Historical answers No Answer text is not portable. Rebuild a 30-day baseline in Citekit. Citation sources Partly Export URLs and re-check them; engines re-crawl on their own cadence. Dashboards Rebuild Map each old widget to a saved view; expect one sprint of work. Alerts Yes Recreate thresholds after the baseline is stable. ## The six-step migration - 1 Freeze the old prompt set Export every prompt with its label and owner. Do not edit wording during the migration; you need a like-for-like baseline. - 2 Pick the revenue 50 Choose the prompts closest to pipeline. Those get tracked first and become the cutover test. - 3 Run both for 30 days Same prompts, same cadence. Compare cited URLs, not mention counts. Log every disagreement. - 4 Rebuild the reporting Recreate the weekly and board views before you cancel. If a number cannot be reproduced, stop and fix it. - 5 Move the workflow Turn the top ten citation gaps into briefs in the new tool. This is the point where the team feels the switch. - 6 Close the old account Keep a read-only seat for one quarter, then remove it. Archive the exports somewhere your team can reach. ## Risks and how to handle them - The trend line breaks. Keep both tools for 30 days and annotate the chart with the switch date. - Prompts were quietly edited. Compare exported wording before importing; small edits destroy comparability. - Reporting is late. Rebuild the board view first, not last. It is the artefact that decides whether the migration is judged a success. - Nobody owns the new tool. Name one owner and one backup before the trial starts. ## Frequently asked questions How long does a Scrunch AI migration take? Four to six weeks for a mid-market team: one week to export and map, four weeks of parallel running, one week to cut over reporting. Will we lose historical data? Answer text does not transfer. Citekit builds a new baseline from day one; keep the Scrunch AI export for audit purposes. Is Citekit cheaper? Usually. Citekit starts at $49/mo against from $250/mo. The bigger saving is the content workflow, which otherwise sits in a second tool. ## Methodology and sources - Citekit product and pricing data, 9 November 2026. - Vendor pricing pages and product documentation, checked November 2026.
