The 30-second verdict
- Who it's for: Scalenut targets English-speaking marketing teams running multiple domains who want an all-in-one tool: content audit, keyword planner, and AI images bundled in.
- Price: Pricing in dollars: $59/month billed monthly, or $24/month billed annually thanks to a limited-time 60% discount, plus tax.
- What works: AI-visibility tracking for ChatGPT and Google AIO from the entry plan, advanced content audit, a keyword planner, and one-click WordPress/Shopify integration.
- Watch out for: The $24/month price is a limited-time annual discount: the standard rate is $59/month, and the interface stays entirely in English.
Scalenut suits an English-speaking team running several sites with flexible quotas. If you run a French-language site and want a simple euro subscription, a short trial with no card, and AI-citation tracking built for French, MentionLab stays the more direct choice.
