What is Rankscale?

Rankscale monitors how brands appear across more than 17 AI engines, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot and Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode. Usage is paid for in credits: each check of one prompt on one engine costs a fraction of a credit, and you choose how often each prompt runs, from hourly to monthly. It adds citation and sentiment analysis, ad and shopping tracking, page audits and an MCP server.

Good for

  • Tracking many client brands, with white-label dashboards and an agency programme
  • Tracking engines that many tools skip, such as DeepSeek, Mistral and Grok
  • Controlling cost by choosing the engines and check frequency for each prompt

Key features

  • Tracks 17+ AI engines, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot and Google AI Overviews and AI Mode
  • Credit-based usage: a check typically costs 0.25 credits per engine per prompt, and unused credits roll over on Pro and above
  • Scheduling from hourly to monthly for each search term
  • Citation, sentiment and competitor analysis, with query fan-out on every plan
  • Ad analytics and shopping analysis for ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and Copilot
  • Page audits of any URL for AI visibility
  • MCP server, CSV and Google Sheets export, and a REST API from Growth

Limitations to know about

  • Credits make costs harder to predict: a Claude check uses 2 credits and DeepSeek 1, against 0.25 for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Mode
  • Essentials has no credit rollover and only 2 brand dashboards
  • The REST API and white-label dashboards start on Growth ($385/month billed monthly)
