Who each one suits
Choose Rankscale when
Agencies and consultants who need a large number of brand dashboards, wide model coverage, page audits, and white-label or REST API access at a low cost per client.
Choose Robot Visible when
You are improving one site instead of reporting on many, and what you need is the technical diagnosis, ranked fixes, supported publishing and verification rather than more dashboards.
Where the two differ
Dashboards or depth on one property
Rankscale's tiers are built around how many brand dashboards you need, which is efficient for an agency. Robot Visible covers one to three sites in more operational detail: priority pages, tracked questions, competitors, ranked fixes and verification history. Neither scales the way the other does.
Model coverage
Rankscale advertises unusually wide coverage, including DeepSeek, Mistral and Grok alongside the mainstream engines. Robot Visible checks fewer surfaces by choice and invests the difference in diagnosing and shipping site changes.
White-label and API access
Rankscale offers white-label reporting and REST API access from its Growth tier at $385/month. Robot Visible offers neither. If reselling reports under your own brand is a requirement, that decides it.
Common questions
How much does Rankscale cost?
Rankscale published Essentials from $20/month, Pro at $99/month for 1,200 credits and up to 4,800 AI responses across 10 brand dashboards, Growth at $385/month for 5,500 credits with REST API and white-label options, and Enterprise at $780/month for 12,000 credits, checked on 19 July 2026. Annual billing saves around 15%.
Is Rankscale good for agencies?
It is one of the more agency-oriented tools here. Growth at $385/month and Enterprise at $780/month include 50 and 100 brand dashboards respectively, with REST API access and white-label reporting, which works out at a low cost per client for consultants managing a portfolio.
What is the cheapest AI visibility tool?
Rankscale's Essentials tier from $20/month is the lowest published entry price among the tools compared here, with OtterlyAI at $29/month close behind. Robot Visible scans one site free with no account before any paid plan, and AthenaHQ, Semrush and Ahrefs all publish free tiers, so a zero-cost starting point exists in several places.
What is a good Rankscale alternative?
OtterlyAI ($29/month) and Knowatoa ($59/month) cover similar low-cost monitoring, and Knowatoa allows unlimited sites on one account. Peec AI and Profound go deeper on analytics. Robot Visible scans free and starts at £29/month if fixing one site matters more than reporting on many.
How this comparison was prepared
Every price on this page was copied from Rankscale’s own published pages on 19 July 2026. Where a vendor does not publish a price, this page says so rather than reproducing a third-party estimate. Products and prices change quickly, so the vendor’s own pages remain the source of truth. This comparison describes product focus and published packaging; it does not claim that any platform controls or guarantees inclusion in AI-generated answers.
The full rules we follow when publishing another company’s prices, and a dated log of every correction we have made, are on our methodology and corrections page.
