Rankscale in three lines
- Rankscale scores 9.5/10 in our comparison because its $99 Pro plan leaves almost nothing out: 17+ engines with no per-engine tier, scheduling from hourly to monthly, sentiment, exports, MCP and unlimited seats.
- It is also one of the few tools that puts white-labeled dashboards on a published plan (Growth, $385 a month).
- The price of that flexibility is arithmetic. Credits, not prompts, are the unit, and engines burn them at different rates.

Who is Rankscale for, and who should skip it?
A good fit for
- Buyers who want Claude, Perplexity, Copilot and Google in one plan at entry level
- Teams that want to choose how often each prompt runs
- Agencies that need white-labeled dashboards without a custom contract
- Anyone who exports data to Sheets or Data Studio
Not for
- People who want a flat "50 prompts a day" plan with no calculator
- Teams that need a REST API below $229 a month
- Buyers who want a stated trial length before signing up
How much does Rankscale cost?
Rankscale lists four monthly plans. Pro is $99: 1,200 credits a month, up to 4,800 answers, 10 brand dashboards, 50 page audits. Pro+ is $229: 3,000 credits, up to 12,000 answers, 25 dashboards, the REST API. Growth is $385: 5,500 credits, up to 22,000 answers, 50 dashboards, white-labeled dashboard links and the agency program. Enterprise is $780: 12,000 credits, up to 48,000 answers, 100 dashboards. Yearly billing saves 15%, and a yearly-only Essentials plan is listed at $17 a month (120 credits, no sentiment, no exports).
Credits can be topped up at any time and roll over (up to 2× on Pro and Pro+, up to 3× on Growth and Enterprise). "Up to 4,800 answers" on Pro implies the cheapest engines cost a quarter of a credit per answer; Rankscale's calculator shows pricier engines such as Claude costing more. Use the calculator on the pricing page with your own engine mix before you pick a plan.
| Plan | Price per month | What it includes | Engines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $17/mo, yearly only | 120 credits a month, up to 480 answers, 2 brand dashboards, 10 page audits; no sentiment, no exports, no team workspaces | 17+ engines |

What does Rankscale actually do?
The dashboard
Visibility, sentiment and performance over time for each brand, with competitor benchmarking and citation analysis on every plan. Pro gives you 10 brand dashboards, and extra slots can be added in the app, so one subscription can cover a small portfolio.
AI Visits: what the bots and assistants do on your site
From Pro, Rankscale charts visits from AI crawlers and assistants over time and by source. It is the other half of the picture: not what the engines say about you, but how often they come to read you.
AI agents by category
A table of which agents hit the site and how often, by category. Together with page audits (50 a month on Pro, with what Rankscale describes as 94+ technical checkpoints) it gives a technical team something concrete to fix.
Which AI engines does Rankscale track?
Rankscale says it tracks 17+ engines on every plan with "no per-engine upsell tiers": ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Copilot, DeepSeek, Grok, Mistral and Meta's Muse Spark among them. All regions are available on every plan.
| Engine | On the Pro plan |
|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Listed |
| Perplexity | Listed |
| Gemini | Listed |
| Google AI Overviews | Listed |
| Google AI Mode | Listed |
| Claude | Listed |
| Microsoft Copilot | Listed |
What are the limits of each plan?
Credits are the limit: 1,200 a month on Pro. Brand dashboards (10) and page audits (50) are the others. Prompt research is included, with 5 free runs a month from Pro+. The Essentials plan drops sentiment, custom dashboards, exports, team workspaces, local results and AI visits.

Integrations, API and export

How do you get started?
"Try Pro for Free" starts a trial; the pricing page does not state how long it lasts. Create a brand dashboard, add search terms (unlimited to create, credits to run), pick engines and a schedule. A sensible first setup: your top 30 prompts daily on the four cheapest engines, Claude weekly.
Which costs are easy to miss?
- Expensive engines eat credits faster: check the calculator before adding Claude daily.
- REST API: Pro+.
- White label: Growth.
- The $17 Essentials price is yearly billing only.

Strengths and the catch
What we like
- 17+ engines on every plan, Claude and Copilot included
- You choose the schedule, from hourly to monthly, so credits go where they matter
- Exports, sentiment, MCP and unlimited seats from the $99 plan
- White-labeled dashboards exist, on a published plan
The catch
- Everything runs on credits and engines burn them at different rates, so the real prompt count depends on your mix.
- Not for: people who want a flat 'N prompts a month' number with no arithmetic
