Rankscale pricing in 2026: how credits turn into a monthly bill, and a flat alternative.
Rankscale starts at $20 a month, but every engine run burns credits, and the cost per run depends on the engine. OtterlyAI prices by prompt: 15 for $29, 100 for $189, 400 for $489, tracked daily.

Monthly list prices. Rankscale's 1,200-credit Pro plan covers roughly 100 prompts tracked weekly. Tracking the same 100 prompts daily needs about 2,250 credits, which is the Growth plan.
Rankscale plans and prices
Rankscale sells four plans measured in credits. Each time a prompt runs on an engine it costs a fraction of a credit, and the fraction depends on the engine. Credits reset monthly, with limited rollover on higher plans.
| Plan | Monthly | Prompts | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $20 | 120 credits (up to 480 responses) | 2 brand dashboards, 10 web audits |
| Pro | $99 | 1,200 credits (up to 4,800) | 10 dashboards, 50 audits, unlimited seats, raw export |
| Growth | $385 | 5,500 credits (up to 22,000) | 50 dashboards, REST API, white-label dashboard links |
| Enterprise | $780 | 12,000 credits (up to 48,000) | 100 dashboards, 200 web audits |
Rankscale lists prices in dollars and euros depending on region. Credit costs per run vary by engine (about 0.25 for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Mode, 1 for DeepSeek, 2 for Claude), and Prompt Research costs 50 credits per run. Daily-tracking estimates on this page use Rankscale's published example of 0.75 credits per prompt run.
The same job on both price lists
Three common situations, priced on each vendor's published list. Bars share one scale, so you can compare across rows.
You want to start small
A first brand with a handful of prompts.
Rankscale Essentials is $9 cheaper. By Rankscale's own formula its 120 credits cover about 5 prompts tracked daily on 3 engines. OtterlyAI Lite tracks 15 prompts daily across 4 engines.
You track 100 prompts daily
One brand, three or four engines, daily tracking.
100 prompts a day on 3 engines is about 2,250 credits a month, more than Pro's 1,200. If weekly tracking is enough, 100 prompts needs about 325 credits and Pro at $99 is cheaper on paper. OtterlyAI tracks daily.
You track 400 prompts daily
A larger program across several markets.
400 prompts a day is about 9,000 credits a month, above Growth's 5,500, so it lands on Enterprise. Premium also includes Looker Studio, API and MCP access.
What the Rankscale price does not include
The monthly figure is only part of the bill. These are the limits and extras to model before you sign.
- Credits are hard to forecast
- A prompt run costs a fraction of a credit that depends on the engine. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Mode are about 0.25 each, DeepSeek is 1 and Claude is 2. Adding one engine can change the whole bill. OtterlyAI charges per prompt, and the price list on otterly.ai/pricing is the bill.
- Daily tracking burns credits fast
- Credits scale with prompts, engines and how often you run. Daily tracking of 100 prompts on three engines is about 2,250 credits a month, which is Growth territory at $385.
- Research is metered too
- Prompt Research costs 50 credits per execution. OtterlyAI includes its AI Prompt Research tool in every plan.
- Agency features start at $385
- White-label dashboard links, the REST API and the partner directory listing begin at Growth. OtterlyAI Standard ($189) includes unlimited workspaces, the Looker Studio connector and API access, and Agency Partners add pitch workspaces.
- Brand dashboards are capped
- Essentials includes 2 brand dashboards, Pro 10 and Growth 50. OtterlyAI Standard and Premium include unlimited brand reports and workspaces.

Questions about Rankscale pricing
How much does Rankscale cost in 2026?
Rankscale has four plans measured in credits: Essentials at $20 a month (120 credits), Pro at $99 (1,200 credits), Growth at $385 (5,500 credits) and Enterprise at $780 (12,000 credits). Each prompt run on an engine uses a fraction of a credit that depends on the engine.
Is OtterlyAI cheaper than Rankscale?
For daily tracking at scale, yes. By Rankscale's own credit formula, 100 prompts tracked daily needs about 2,250 credits a month, which is the $385 Growth plan, against $189 for OtterlyAI Standard. Tracking 400 prompts daily needs about 9,000 credits, the $780 Enterprise plan, against $489 for OtterlyAI Premium. If you only need weekly tracking of a small set, Rankscale Pro at $99 can cost less.
How do Rankscale credits work?
Monthly credits are the number of prompts, times the number of engines, times the number of runs, times a per-engine cost. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Mode are about 0.25 credits a run, DeepSeek is 1 and Claude is 2. Prompt Research costs 50 credits per execution. OtterlyAI avoids this: you pick a prompt tier and tracking runs daily.
Does Rankscale track more engines than OtterlyAI?
Rankscale lists 17 or more engines and models. OtterlyAI includes four engines in every plan (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Copilot) and offers Google AI Mode, Gemini and Claude as add-ons. If you need broad raw-model coverage, factor that into the comparison.
What do I get for $189 a month on OtterlyAI?
The Standard plan includes 100 prompts tracked daily across four AI engines, unlimited team members, workspaces and recommendations, 50+ countries, 5,000 GEO URL audits a month, the Looker Studio connector, API and MCP access, and 200k Agent Analytics events a month.
Can I try OtterlyAI before I switch from Rankscale?
Yes. OtterlyAI offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card, so you can run both tools on the same prompts and compare what each one costs to run.
