Pricing
RankHound pricing: plans to get recommended by ChatGPT, Claude and Google AI
Every plan runs all six engines, shows which answers name a competitor instead of you and which pages they read, and keeps re-checking so you can see whether your changes worked. Exactly one thing changes between plans: how many prompts you track. Brands, competitors, teammates and alerts are the same on the cheapest plan as the dearest.
Four plans, one difference
Everything except the number of prompts is identical on every plan.
Yearly is ten months' price. Two months free.

The same on all four: all six engines, tracked continuously, and 5 brands, 25 competitors and 25 teammates. The measurement is identical on every plan, and prompts are the only thing that differs. Card required, nothing charged for 7 days.
One prompt is 32 answers a week, across all six engines.
More than 15 prompts. We do not have a plan that size on the shelf, and we would rather talk than invent a price. Email us.
On every plan
On every plan, not just the big one
Most of this category holds engines and seats back for a higher tier. We do not, and the page should say so plainly.
The plans differ by one thing only: how many prompts you track, across the same 5 brands. The measurement never gets better on a bigger plan. The rules behind every figure are in the methodology, and the engines are listed on platforms.
All six engines, tracked continuously. None held back for a higher tier.
- Full answer text and every citation, kept and searchable.
- Up to 5 brands.
- Up to 25 competitors tracked.
- Up to 25 teammates.
- Email alerts on six kinds of change, with the noise suppressed.
- Any of 212 markets and 128 languages, changeable whenever you like.
- The API, the CLI and the MCP server, at the same rate limit on every plan.
The trial
A seven-day trial on any plan, with the card stated up front
Every plan starts with 7 free days. Checkout takes a card, and we say so on the button rather than leaving you to find it inside a payment form. Nothing is charged until the 7 days are up, and nothing at all if you cancel before then.
- Every engine from the first run.
- The trial is the first days of the plan you pick, from Solo to Scale, with all six engines on it and every answer kept in full.
- Change plan mid-trial.
- You keep the days you have left and nothing is charged that day. Everything collected so far stays where it is.
- Cancel from inside the product.
- You keep access to the end of the period you have paid for, your data stays readable, and you can export all of it.
Choose your plan
Every plan starts with 7 free days. We run your prompts against ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI results, show who gets named instead of you, and the sites to get listed on to change that.

What a prompt buys
Why a prompt is the unit
It is the only thing that costs us money, so it is the only thing we charge for. One prompt is 32 answers a week across all six engines, about 128 a month.
- Everything else is included.
- Seats, competitors, alerts and any of 212 markets cost us nothing to add, so a price on them would be a markup on nothing.
- Two prompts is an honest floor.
- With 128 answers a month behind each one, a rate on those two is a rate you can act on.
- Larger plans buy breadth, nothing else.
- Two cannot show you the shape of a category, because buyers ask the same thing a dozen ways. That is what the larger plans are for, and the only thing they are for.

Against the market
AI mention tracking pricing, per prompt per engine
Per prompt, per engine, per month: the only unit that compares across a category that slices volume differently in every price list.
The workings are public. We compare nine tools on what the entry plan includes, read off each vendor’s own pricing page, and say where we come off worse.
- Mid-market on price.
- Our plans work out between 54 cents and 75 cents, against a median of 48 cents across 18 tiers from eight vendors, measured in September 2026.
- Ahead on coverage.
- At $9 we match the volume of the nearest comparable tool and include an engine it charges extra to add. At $49 we run six engines where most of the field runs three.
- Not the cheapest, on purpose.
- Cheapest in this category usually means fewer engines, a thinner schedule, or a number with no denominator attached to it.
Per prompt, per engine, per month
Each plan’s monthly price, divided by its prompts and by the six engines every prompt runs on.
| Plan | Compared with the market median | Per prompt, per engine |
|---|---|---|
| Solo$9 for 2 prompts | 75.0¢ | |
| Starter$19 for 5 prompts | 63.3¢ | |
| Growth$29 for 9 prompts | 53.7¢ | |
| Scale$49 for 15 prompts | 54.4¢ |
Market median, 48.0¢: 18 tiers from eight vendors, measured in September 2026.
