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

Pick GEO Metrics if

• Fits if you want Copilot, Grok and DeepSeek tracked on the entry plan at €72 a month
• Works for agencies tracking several brands, as every plan allows unlimited brands, countries and languages

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're on Freelance, with 20 prompts, 10 AI reports, 30 keyword lookups and 10 sentiment checks a month
• Skip it if Claude matters, since it only starts at Pro for €220 a month
• Not for you if more than 2 people need logins on Freelance, or 10 on Pro; unlimited users need Enterprise at €621
• Watch out: prices are in euros only, and monthly billing costs more, €80 against €72 on Freelance
• Watch out: it's web only, and the free trial gives limited access with no length stated

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
