What is this tool?

Scalenut is now a tool for checking whether your brand appears in AI-generated answers and producing the content to change that, aimed at content marketers, SEO teams and agencies. Plan choice turns on scale: Starter tracks 10 prompts on one domain with 5 new articles a month and no audits or auto-publishing, and Perplexity tracking only arrives on Professional. There is no free plan, no API, and no refund once the trial ends.

Read full overview

Choose the prompts your audience is likely to ask an AI assistant and Scalenut reports how often your brand appears in the answers, then recommends content to improve that. The same workspace holds the tools to respond: writing new GEO articles, optimising and scoring existing pages, auditing a site's content, planning keyword clusters and internal links, finding Reddit discussions, and buying backlinks. Each workspace covers one domain.

The three self-serve plans are billed at $59, $89 and $199 a month on monthly billing, each after a 7-day free trial; there is no standing free plan, and whether a card is needed to start the trial is not stated. Annual billing is discounted; the current annual figures are a limited-time offer. Plans can be upgraded, downgraded or ended at any time from the account's usage settings, and Scalenut's refund policy and terms agree that nothing is refunded after the trial. A managed VIP Service, with a dedicated strategist, writers and AI agents, is priced on request.

Is this right for you?

Quick fit check against how you actually work.

Choose this if
  • You need to know whether ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews mention your brand for the prompts that matter, and want the content tools to respond in the same place
  • You publish to WordPress or Shopify and want optimised articles sent there directly (Plus and above)
  • You manage several sites or clients and need multiple workspaces and audit capacity, with unlimited workspaces on Professional
  • You would rather hand the work to a strategist backed by AI agents through the managed VIP Service
Consider alternatives if
  • You need an API: Scalenut's help centre says it does not offer one
  • You want a free plan or a refundable subscription; there is a 7-day trial and no refund after it
  • Perplexity matters to your audience but Professional is beyond your budget, since Starter and Plus track ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews only
  • You want a long-form writer or content optimiser on its own: every plan is built around AI-visibility tracking, with its prompt allowance setting the tier

Key features

What you can actually do with this tool.

AI-visibility tracking

Tracks how often your brand appears in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews answers for the prompts you choose, refreshed weekly; Perplexity is added on Professional. The number of prompts tracked rises from 10 on Starter to 100 on Professional.

GEO article creation

Creates new articles aimed at AI-search visibility, including long-form drafts from its Cruise Mode writer, within a monthly article limit per plan.

Optimisation, scoring and audits

Scores and optimises existing pages, and from Plus audits up to 200 pages a month (1,000 on Professional).

Clusters, linking and Reddit discovery

Builds keyword clusters with Semrush metrics, suggests internal links and, from Plus, finds Reddit threads worth joining through its Social UpReach monitoring.

Publishing and backlinks

From Plus, publishes straight to WordPress or Shopify; a backlinks marketplace sells links pay-as-you-go outside the plan price, and Copyscape checks content for plagiarism.

Frequently asked

Common questions about this tool, answered.

What is the annual offer?

The annual view currently advertises Starter at $24, Plus at $36 and Professional at $80 a month with doubled monthly limits. It is presented as a limited offer, so treat it as a promotion rather than the standing annual price.

Is Scalenut still an AI article writer?

It still writes long-form articles, including through its Cruise Mode writer, but the product is now organised around tracking brand visibility in AI answers and producing content to improve it.
