Prompts

Credit-metered

Action layer

Yes: content generation, audits and WordPress publishing. This is their strength.

We couldn't verify: Which engines Pro and above add. The pricing page lists them only as 'all standard engines'. We'd rather leave a gap than print a number we haven't read ourselves.

Where is Rank Prompt genuinely strong?

✓A free plan that is a plan, not a countdown: 10 credits a month, with no card.
✓Cheap multi-brand tiers: 100 brands at $71/mo and 500 at $119/mo.
✓White-label reports on the Agency tiers, on your own domain at Agency Plus.
✓If you want an action layer at a low price, this is the honest answer, and we will say so rather than pretend otherwise.

Where does Rank Prompt fall short?

✕Everything is credit-metered, so heavy months cost more than the headline.
✕The $39 Starter plan is a single owner seat.
✕Like most tools here, it reports visibility as a single point estimate with no uncertainty, so it cannot tell you whether a change is real or noise.

The honest verdict

If what you want is an action layer at a low price — content generation, audits, one-click publishing — Rank Prompt is the honest answer, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. Where it's like everyone else is measurement: it reports a single number with no uncertainty, so it can't tell you whether a change is real or noise, or whether you hold a durable position or just rotated through. That's the gap we exist to fill.

Where CoreCited is different

1. We tell you if you're in the core, or just the carousel

AI answers churn — SISTRIX measured 56% weekly source churn in Google AI Mode across 82,619 prompts. But the same study found that in AI Mode 86.5% of prompts keep a stable core of 1–5 domains that persist week after week, while 89% of the remaining domains rotate weekly. So "am I mentioned?" is close to a coin flip. The question that matters is whether you're in the durable core or the churn. No other tool distinguishes these.

2. We show you the error bars, and grey out the noise

Share of voice is estimated from a finite sample, so it carries sampling error. On a realistic sample, brands sitting at 27%, 25% and 22% are statistically indistinguishable — their confidence ranges overlap completely. Every other dashboard renders that as a confident 1–2–3 ranking. We mark it as a tie and tell you not to act on it.

3. We tell you when the fix didn't work

Mark a content brief published and we snapshot where you stand, then measure whether it actually moved you — and we'll say "no movement" or "you slipped" when that's the truth. A loop that can only report success is marketing, not measurement.

What do people ask about Rank Prompt?

How much does Rank Prompt cost?

$39 a month, or $470 a year (no annual discount), for 150 credits and 10 brands, owner seat only. Credits meter usage: one credit per prompt on the standard engines. That figure was read from Rank Prompt's own pricing page on 26 September 2026, not from a roundup — pricing in this category moves, so check it against their page before deciding.

Does Rank Prompt have a free plan?

A free plan with 10 credits a month and 3 brands, no card required. Paid plans also come with a 7-day trial of 50 credits. It is worth reading that carefully: in this category "free" most often means a time-limited trial with a card up front, which is a different thing from a plan that stays free.

Which AI engines does Rank Prompt track?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Claude — 4 surfaces as listed on their own site. Counts in this category are not always comparable: some tools count a model and the product built on it as two engines, so compare the named surfaces rather than the number.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Rank Prompt?

Yes — 2 of the tools in our table publish a lower entry price, the lowest being Rankscale at $20 a month. Cheaper is not automatically better: read what each entry plan actually includes, because a low price often buys very few prompts on very few surfaces.

What does Rank Prompt not do?

Everything is credit-metered, so heavy months cost more than the headline. The $39 Starter plan is a single owner seat. Like most tools here, it reports visibility as a single point estimate with no uncertainty, so it cannot tell you whether a change is real or noise. One thing it shares with every tool here, including ours: none of them can tell you how much traffic Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode sent you. Search Console counts those clicks as ordinary organic search and no API separates them. Referrals from ChatGPT and other assistants are different: they show up in analytics as their own sources.
