What it tracks
Rankscale tracks how a brand appears in AI search engines. Its home page describes a brand visibility dashboard covering mentions, rankings and citations, plus citation analysis, sentiment analysis, competitor analysis and reports on shopping and ads visibility. It says it supports more than 17 AI engines. The named ones include ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, Grok, Copilot and Mistral.
Two features stand out for off-page work. Citation analysis shows where AI engines cite your brand and which other sources they use, which gives you a list of pages worth earning a mention on. Query fan-out insights show the sub-queries an engine runs behind a prompt. Our lessons on query fan-out and how AI search chooses sources explain why both matter.
Rankscale also runs page audits, which it says cover more than 94 technical checkpoints.
How the credits work
Rankscale charges by usage. The pricing page says each query to an AI engine uses a fraction of a credit, typically 0.25. So the credits you burn depend on three choices: how many prompts, how many engines and how often you refresh. At 0.25 credits a query, the 1,200 credits on Pro cover about 4,800 queries a month. Unused credits roll over, up to two or three times the monthly allowance depending on the plan.
This is flexible, but it puts the planning on you. Decide your prompt set first. How to measure AI visibility covers how many prompts and runs give a stable reading.
Pricing
| Plan | Price per month | Credits per month |
|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $17, yearly billing only | Not listed in the page text we read |
| Pro | $99 | 1,200 |

Prices are as shown in US dollars on Rankscale’s pricing page on 4 October 2026. Essentials appears as $17 a month against a crossed-out $20, with the note “Yearly only”. Check what it includes before you buy, because the page text we read did not list a credit allowance for it. Yearly billing saves 15 percent on the other plans. Pro has a free 7-day trial. All plans have unlimited seats. The page does not state refund terms.
Rankscale’s affiliate page quotes the Pro plan at EUR 99 a month, so the currency you see may depend on where you are.
What public reviews say
Rankscale claimed its Trustpilot profile in October 2025, and the profile had no reviews when we checked in October 2026. The vendor’s site says it has more than 1,000 active users and names Bosch, Iberdrola, UBS, Cartier and Dentsu among them. Those are vendor claims.
The company is open about itself. The site names Rankscale GmbH in Vienna, Austria, founded in October 2024, with 13 team members as of August 2026.
