Attrifast vs Rankscale AI (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Attrifast if

• Fits if you sell through Stripe or Shopify and want revenue tied to traffic sources
• Works for a one-site business that wants a few AI visibility checks alongside attribution

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a free plan, as both plans start with a card-backed trial
• Tight if you stay on Starter: 10 prompts scanned every 30 days against 3 competitors
• Too light for agencies, as multi-site features, an API and exports are not live yet
• Watch out: sentiment, position and gap analysis are Pro only, at $49 a month
• Watch out: events cap at 50k on Starter and 100k on Pro, and the vendor's answer to going over is to upgrade

Pick Rankscale AI if

• Fits if you want 17+ AI engines on one plan and can do the credit sums
• Works for brands where local results matter, as it shows your place in AI map packs

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you track a lot every day, since monitoring pauses when the credits run out until renewal or a top-up
• Skip it if you want the cheapest plan paid monthly, as Essentials is yearly only and the trial is for Pro
• Pricey if you need the REST API, which starts at Pro+ for $229 a month, or white label at $385
• Watch out: Claude costs 2 credits a run against 0.25 for ChatGPT, so Essentials' 120 credits go fast
• Watch out: extra brand dashboard slots are bought separately in the app

Attrifast
