Both Mentionable and RankScale are built for people who don't want to spend hundreds on AI visibility tools. RankScale starts at $20/month with 7 LLMs. Mentionable starts at €79/month (Growth) with a 4-day free trial and a choice of LLMs.
Two affordable approaches, two different philosophies.
How the pricing works
Mentionable uses fixed monthly pricing with a 4-day free trial on all plans. You pay €79/month (Growth, 40 prompts, 3 LLMs from 7, 2 projects), €149/month (Pro, 80 prompts, 4 LLMs, 4 projects), or €299/month for Agency (5,000 credits, unlimited projects, up to 7 LLMs), and you know exactly what you're getting. No math required.
RankScale uses a credit system. Their Essential plan at $20/month gives you 120 credits, which translates to roughly 480 AI responses across their 7 engines. The Growth plan ($60/month) bumps that to 400 credits, Pro ($180/month) to 1,500, and Enterprise ($780/month) to 12,000.
The credit model can work in your favor if you have variable needs. But it does require you to think about credit budgeting, and 480 responses can deplete faster than you'd expect when you're tracking across 7 platforms.
What sets them apart
Both offer ways to try before you commit. Mentionable has a 4-day free trial on all plans. RankScale has a free test as a trial option.
RankScale covers 7 LLMs. Mentionable also covers 7 (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overview), with 3 active on Growth, 4 on Pro, up to 7 on Agency. RankScale offers an AI Readiness Audit that evaluates your site for AI optimization potential. Mentionable's Agency plan includes a one-shot GEO audit: a client-ready 6-section white-label report, structured as a shareable deliverable rather than an on-page score.
On the other hand, Mentionable generates prompt suggestions when you enter your URL. RankScale requires manual setup. If you're not sure which prompts to track, that guidance can save time.
Mentionable also ships a public MCP server. Connect it to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, or ChatGPT and query your visibility data from your AI assistant. RankScale has no MCP integration.
RankScale also offers daily tracking and, unusually for a $20/month product, daily co-founder assistance calls. That's a level of support you rarely see at this price point.
Which one fits you?
RankScale makes sense if the $20/month entry point appeals to you, you want 7 LLMs instead of 5, the AI Readiness Audit would help your optimization work, and you're comfortable managing credits.
Mentionable makes sense if you want a 4-day free trial to test, you prefer knowing exactly what you'll pay each month, you'd rather have prompt suggestions than manual setup, and you want MCP integration or a client-ready GEO audit.
The bottom line
Both are legitimate options in a space where many tools cost $100+ per month. RankScale gives you a low entry price and diagnostic features at $20/month. Mentionable gives you simplicity, straightforward pricing from €79/month, MCP integration, and a client-ready GEO audit on the Agency plan.
The best way to decide? Try Mentionable with a 4-day free trial first. If you find yourself wanting more LLMs and site audits, RankScale's $20/month entry is worth testing.
