Twenty dollars of tracking, or fifty dollars once for a crew.
Rankscale is one of the cheapest ways to watch a lot of engines. ZwayRank is the cheapest way to get the pages written.
The short version. Rankscale is a fine wide monitor on a small budget. ZwayRank is what you buy when watching is not enough.
Rankscale starts at $20 a month with an AI readiness score, sentiment analysis, API access and a 30-day trial, and tracks 17-plus generative engines. Usage is credit based over four monthly tiers: every engine query draws down a credit pool, annual billing takes 15% off, and unused credits roll over up to a cap. In early 2026 it added ChatGPT Shopping analysis for product and merchant recommendations.
ZwayRank measures the same things: whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude name you, who they name instead, which pages they cite, and where Google ranks you. The difference is what happens next. A crew of twelve agents accepts the strongest gaps, writes the page, fixes the schema, plans the posts, publishes with your approval, and re-measures a week later. It runs every 30 minutes on your own model keys, and Pro is a one-time $50 for two brands.
| Side by side | ZwayRank | Rankscale |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $0 for 7 days, then $50 once for two brands | $20/mo, credit based, four tiers |
| Engines | ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude | 17-plus, each query spending credits |
| Trial | 7 days, first scan free | 30 days |
| Writes and publishes pages | Yes, with your approval | No |
| Social | Yes, on request per workspace | No |
| Classic SEO | Keyword bank, rank tracker, technical round, map pack | AI readiness score |
| Shopping | Not covered | ChatGPT Shopping analysis |
| Model costs | Your keys, at cost, one blended cap | Credits with rollover |

Cheap tracking is a good first step
For $20 a month Rankscale shows you a lot of engines. If your question is "am I named anywhere at all", that answers it quickly and the trial is generous.
The next step is the expensive one, unless it is automated
Once you know you are missing, someone has to write the page, fix the schema and get mentioned on the right sites. Rankscale hands that to you. ZwayRank's crew does it, then re-measures the question and puts every step in the record.
Product brands
If you sell products and care about ChatGPT Shopping, Rankscale's shopping analysis is a feature ZwayRank does not have.
- You want the widest cheap monitor and a long trial
- You sell products and want ChatGPT Shopping analysis
- You will do the content work yourself
- You want the content and site work done
- You want classic SEO in the same place
- You want a predictable bill on your own keys
