Scalenut review: pricing, features & alternatives

Scalenut's public pricing page (fetched 2026-08-16) shows Starter $59/mo, Plus $89/mo, and Professional $199/mo on monthly billing, each with a 7-day trial. The same page advertises a limited 60% annual offer at $24 / $36 / $80 with doubled article, optimize, cluster, and audit limits. VIP Service is custom. There is no permanent free tier.

Starter: 10 prompts weekly on ChatGPT and Google AIO, 1 workspace, 5 GEO articles and 5 optimizations a month (10 each on the doubled annual promo). Plus: 25 prompts, 2 workspaces, 4 team members, 30 articles / 30 optimizations / 200 audited pages (60 / 60 / 400 on the promo), plus On-page Pro, internal linking, topic gaps, auto-publish, Social Upreach, and a backlinks marketplace. Professional: 100 prompts, ChatGPT + AIO + Perplexity, unlimited workspaces and seats, 75 articles / 75 optimizations / 1,000 audited pages (150 / 150 / 2,000 on the promo), cannibalization analysis, dedicated CSM.

Weekly refresh and two engines on the plans most people buy is the same trap as Writesonic's three-engine self-serve cap. Scalenut's FAQ says you can pay to move to daily refresh, and that higher plans add engines over time. Claude, Copilot, and Grok do not appear on the compare table we fetched.

Promo math matters. The $24 Starter headline is annual, 60% off, doubled limits, and Scalenut's Black Friday FAQ (still on the pricing page) says those special deals are not refundable. If you are not sure, use the 7-day trial on list pricing first.

SEO teams that will use the article and optimize quotas every month and treat the tracker as a weekly ChatGPT/AIO pulse. Plus is the first plan that looks operational.

Anyone who needs daily multi-engine citation proof should buy a dedicated tracker and keep Scalenut only if the writer is the reason.

Every row below is a capability we already listed for Scalenut. It is the published feature set for this page, not a guess at an unpublished demo. Compare it with the Promptwatch checklist that follows.

On this listing, Scalenut is a Content optimization for Small SEO teams that want articles and a two-engine weekly visibility column in one bill, and who read the promo fine print.. What we sourced here: Weekly prompt tracking: ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews on all plans; Perplexity on Professional; GEO article creation and optimization quotas by tier; Keyword clusters, content audit, internal linking, and auto-publish on Plus+; VIP Service: custom done-for-you strategists and writers; Claude, Copilot, and Grok are not on the public engine list.

After you generate pages in Scalenut, you still need a visibility platform to see whether models cite those pages, which URLs and third-party sources they cite, whether AI crawlers can fetch them, and whether referred visits convert. Promptwatch is built for that loop. Gaps vs this listing: AI crawler logs (Agent Analytics), crawl-to-citation path, bot errors; Visitor analytics: AI-referred sessions and conversions; Content Agents that plan, write, and publish GEO pages to a CMS with a review inbox; Citation analytics at page, domain, Reddit, YouTube, and offsite level; Prompt volumes, difficulty, query fan-outs, personas, city-level geo; Prompt and citation trends (what changed between checks); ChatGPT Shopping tracking and Ads Radar; Agent Chat, Unified Actions, MCP server / REST API on paid plans.

Scalenut is on this directory because buyers compare writers with AI-search software. Unless a bullet on this page documents prompt replay, it is a content or schema product. Promptwatch is the visibility stack: prompts, citations, crawler logs, AI-referred visits, and Content Agents that publish to Webflow or Framer.

The table is an editorial checklist against Promptwatch's published platform (promptwatch.com/llms.txt, 2026-08-23). It is not a hidden feature list for this vendor. 'Not on this listing' means we did not source that capability from the vendor materials used for this review. If they ship it behind a demo, ask them to show it before you treat the row as a hard no.
