Rankscale review: our take
Rankscale tracks a brand across 17+ AI engines and meters the work in credits: a query to one engine typically costs 0.25 of a credit, while Claude costs 2. Prices are in euros. Essentials is €17 a month, billed yearly only, for 120 credits, 2 brand dashboards and up to 480 AI answers; Pro is €99 a month, or €84 billed yearly, for 1,200 credits and 10 dashboards, with a 7-day free trial.
That suits a solo SEO at one end and an agency at the other, since Enterprise reaches 100 dashboards. It suits nobody who wants flat, predictable limits, and it writes no content. Wellows starts at $29 for 1,800 AI answers a month across 5 engines, with unlimited seats.
What Rankscale does
Rankscale runs tracked search terms against the AI engines you pick, on a schedule from hourly to monthly, and reports visibility score, rankings, citations, sources-box domains and sentiment against auto-detected competitors. Each engine query costs a fraction of a credit (typically 0.25), drawn from the plan's monthly allocation; search terms are unlimited. It also shows query fan-outs (the searches AI engines run before answering), shopping and sponsored placements in ChatGPT, AI Mode and Copilot, page audits for AI readiness, and prompt volume research. Data can go to GA4/Search Console views, Looker Studio, MCP and, on higher plans, a REST API.

Pricing page and the /facts page show EUR (pricing page rendered from a European IP). The home page repeats the same figures with a $ sign ('Plans start at $20/month and scale to $780/month'), so USD fields are left null rather than trusting either symbol for US buyers. Yearly billing saves 15%. Credits: typically 0.25 per engine per prompt; Claude costs 2 and DeepSeek 1 per the credit calculator; top-ups available in-app.
Free plan: no. Free trial: 7 days. Prices as listed by the vendor, before tax; they change, so check the pricing page before you buy.
