**In short:** Rankscale is an AI rank tracker priced in credits, a fraction of a credit per engine query, with brand dashboards and page audits from a very low entry price. Attensira's credits pay for work instead: its crew of AI agents ships fixes and placements after your approval and measures what each change did.

## Verdict

Rankscale is built to watch many brands across many engines cheaply, with audits to point at problems. Attensira is built to fix the problems on the questions you choose. One is a rank tracker for AI answers, the other is the agency work that moves the ranks.

### How does Perplexity define a ChatGPT rank tracker?

As a monitor of how often and where a brand appears in ChatGPT's answers, then five trackers, Rankscale second, each sourced to the vendor's own page. The definition ends at measurement; the work after it is what Attensira sells.

Stored Perplexity answer to “ChatGPT rank tracker”, asked 4 Oct 2026 (n=1 answer, attensira.com workspace, Attensira MCP).

> A ChatGPT rank tracker monitors how often and where your brand appears in ChatGPT’s answers (mentions, citations, and position changes) to measure AI search visibility, not traditional web rankings. Examples of tools you can use: Rankability’s “ChatGPT Rank Tracker” for mentions and mentions in AI responses. Rankscale AI’s ChatGPT rank tracker, tracking mentions, prompts, citations, and competitors. Geoptie’s free ChatGPT rank tracker … Morningscore’s ChatGPT Tracker … Promptrush’s ChatGPT Visibility Tracker, defining a visibility score from mentions and positioning.

## What is Attensira?

Attensira is software that does your AI-search visibility work: whatever it takes to win the answer.

Where Rankscale ranks you in AI answers per search term, Attensira works on the answers you lose: the crew finds the passage or the cited page behind each one, drafts the change for your approval, and re-reads the answer at +7, +14 and +30 days.

## What is Rankscale?

An AI rank tracker priced in credits, where a query to an AI engine typically costs a quarter of a credit. Plans add brand dashboards, page audits, prompt research, a REST API and white-label options as they grow.

## When is neither the right choice?

Neither fits a team that wants positions for hundreds of terms in classic Google results. That is a traditional rank tracker's job; Rankscale and Attensira both read AI answers, not the blue links.

## What sets Attensira and Rankscale apart?

- Rankscale's credit buys roughly four AI engine queries; Attensira's credit buys a slice of agent work. Rankscale's Pro tracks up to 4,800 answers a month across many brands, while Attensira's entry plan reads fewer and spends the difference on doing the work.
- Rankscale offers white-label options and up to 50 brand dashboards on Growth, a shape built for agencies reporting to clients; Attensira counts no workspaces and adds a crew per brand, a shape built for doing the client work.
- Rankscale's cheapest plan is among the lowest published prices in AI visibility; Attensira's entry plan costs more because it includes credits for work that Rankscale does not sell.

## How much of the ChatGPT rank tracker question does Rankscale own?

## Who do AI engines suggest when someone asks for a ChatGPT rank tracker?

We track "ChatGPT rank tracker" for our own site. On 3 October 2026 ChatGPT answered with four tools and put Rankscale's AI Rank Tracker first, as a tool that "tracks ChatGPT mentions, citations, competitor visibility, and AI search share of voice"; RankBits, DabaRank and Rankability followed. Attensira was not named. Across the fourteen days to 4 October, ChatGPT and Perplexity named Rankscale in 18 of 24 answers to that question.

On the budget question, "affordable AI visibility tool for startups", ChatGPT's answer the same day listed Rankscale "for very low-budget experimentation", next to Otterly.ai, AthenaHQ's free tier, Cituna, Peec AI and Profound. From 21 September to 4 October 2026, ChatGPT and Perplexity gave 3,534 answers to the 61 questions we track. Rankscale was named or linked in 209 of the 3,666 competitor readings in that window. Attensira was named in 197 answers, every one on the three questions that already contain our name. Rankscale is part of the answer for budget AI tracking. We are not yet, and this comparison starts from there.

## What does Rankscale sell?

Rankscale is an AI rank tracker, and its pricing page reads like one. On 4 October 2026 it listed:

- **Essentials**, $17 a month billed yearly only (the table shows a $20 list price struck through), with no monthly credits included: you top up credits as you use them.

- **Pro**, $99 a month: 1,200 credits, enough to track up to 4,800 answers from AI engines, 10 brand dashboards, 50 page audits a month, unlimited search terms and a seven-day free trial.

- **Pro+**, $229 a month: 3,000 credits, 25 dashboards, 100 audits, a REST API and prompt research.

- **Growth**, $385 a month: 5,500 credits, 50 dashboards, 200 audits and white-label options.

- **Enterprise**, $780 a month: 12,000 credits, 100 dashboards and dedicated partner support, with custom plans through sales.

Each time Rankscale asks one engine one prompt it typically uses a quarter of a credit, so a prompt run on three engines costs about 0.75; Claude costs 2 credits a query and DeepSeek 1. The tracked engines include ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, DeepSeek, Mistral, Grok, Copilot and more.

The shape is clear: Rankscale sells coverage, many brands and many engines for little money, and audits to point at what is wrong. It is a measuring instrument, and an inexpensive one.

## What is the difference between ranking and winning?

A rank tracker tells you where you stand; it does not move you. That was true of Google rank trackers for twenty years and it is true of AI rank trackers now. The industry built agencies on top of rank trackers because somebody had to do the work the ranks revealed.

Attensira is an AI-native SEO agency run by software: the service of an SEO agency at the price of a tool. It reads the answers to the questions you choose and then does the work an agency would do on them, every day.

The Daily win plan picks up to three pieces of work each morning toward the questions you are losing:

- **A page fix**, delivered as a pull request on your repository, opened as a draft by default and never pushed twice, or as an unpublished draft in Webflow or WordPress.

- **A new article** for a question nothing on your site answers.

- **A placement**: a pitch or a directory listing for a page that an engine already cites for your question and that names a competitor and not you. Outreach goes from your own mailbox.

- **A reply** on a Reddit or Hacker News thread an answer cites, drafted for you to post yourself.

Workspaces start in Draft, so nothing leaves until you approve it, and anything that states a claim waits for a person in every mode. When a change ships, the crew re-reads the same questions at +7, +14 and +30 days and gives a verdict with the number of answers behind it.

### Whose pages decide which rank trackers get named?

Rank-tracker vendors' own landing pages, each with a small share. On a product question the product pages are what engines read, so the vendor with the clearest page tends to get named first.

## When is Rankscale the better buy?

**You need to watch many brands cheaply.** Ten brand dashboards on a $99 plan, fifty on Growth, is a lot of coverage for the money. An agency reporting on dozens of clients will struggle to beat it on price per brand.

**You need many engines.** Rankscale lists more engines than we read, including DeepSeek, Mistral, Grok and Copilot. The engines row above shows ours.

**You resell reports.** White-label options on Growth let an agency put its own name on the dashboards.

**You only want to experiment.** At $17 a month billed yearly, plus the credits you top up, Essentials is a cheap way to find out whether AI answers matter in your category at all.

## When is Attensira the better buy?

When the bottleneck is the work. Most teams that buy a rank tracker learn quickly where they lose; what they do not have is the hours to rewrite pages, find and pitch the editors of the pages answers cite, and check whether any of it helped. Attensira replaces that backlog with finished work in one inbox, each item showing what it changes and which questions it should move.

It is also the better buy when you need to prove that work paid off. A rank tracker can show the line going up or down. It cannot tell you which change caused it, because it does not know what you shipped. The crew does know, so it can measure each change against the week before it and say "no change" when that is the truth.

## What does each credit actually buy?

Both products sell credits, and they mean opposite things.

A Rankscale credit buys queries: about four AI engine questions per credit, so Pro's 1,200 credits read up to 4,800 answers a month.

An Attensira credit buys work, and its value in cents is stated in the cost section below. Our plan fee includes monitoring and a monthly allowance of credits for the agents; the agents spend credits as they research, write, fix and pitch; a monthly budget you set caps what the work can be charged; and committed work we do not deliver is credited back on the first of the month. Reading the numbers you already have never spends a credit.

Comparing the two credit counts tells you nothing. Compare what the bill buys: answers watched, or work done.

## Is more answers per month better?

Up to a point. A rate built on few answers is noisy, so reading each question several times per day, on several engines, gives you a steadier picture. Rankscale's credit model is good at that.

Past the point where you know which questions you lose, more readings add little. What matters then is whether anything changes on those questions, and whether you can tell when it does. Our larger plans read each question three times per reading for exactly that reason, and our before-and-after verdicts state their sample size, so a small movement is not mistaken for a win.

## What happens in the first week?

With Rankscale, you set up brands and prompts, spend credits on daily queries and get dashboards and page audits. What changes on your site depends on who reads the audits.

With Attensira, on day one the crew reads your site, drafts your business profile and takes a first reading of every question you track. By the end of week one your lost answers are ranked and the first pieces of finished work are waiting for your approval.

## What should an agency ask before choosing?

Agencies are a large part of Rankscale's market, judging by its dashboards and white-label options, so it is worth spelling out how the two products fit an agency's business.

**What are you selling the client?** If the deliverable is a monthly AI visibility report, Rankscale is a cost-efficient engine for it, and white-label lets the report carry your brand. If the deliverable is better answers, somebody still has to do the work each report reveals, and that is where your margin goes.

**Who does the work for each client?** Attensira gives every client brand its own workspace and crew, and no plan counts workspaces. Your team approves and keeps the relationship; the crew drafts the fixes, articles and pitches. Each client's work arrives in that client's inbox, and a client reviewer link lets them approve or decline it without an Attensira account.

**How will you show a client the work paid off?** A rank line is easy to show and hard to attribute. A before-and-after on the questions a change targeted, with its sample size, is harder to fake and easier to defend at renewal time.

## Can you run both?

Some agencies will: Rankscale for cheap coverage across every client, Attensira for the clients where AI answers matter enough to pay for the work. The products do not share data, so the questions you work in Attensira would also be tracked in Rankscale. If you run only one client or one brand, you probably need only one of them, and the choice is whether you need watching or doing.
