What is the main difference between easyIndex and Rankscale?
Both monitor how AI answers cite you; Rankscale then suggests what to change. easyIndex makes the change happen: it gives your coding agent the next page to build, verifies it on the live site and then measures the visitors that page gets from AI assistants.
When is Rankscale the better fit?
When you want to track many brands or prompts across more AI engines than easyIndex's 4, for example an agency reporting share of voice, and you already have a team writing pages. Its credit model and brand dashboards suit that job.
Why choose easyIndex if you have a repository and a coding agent?
Because easyIndex is the one tool that does all three: it monitors your citations every month, has your agent write each page in your code, checks it is live and readable, notifies Bing through IndexNow and shows which pages bring AI visitors, at US$ 30 per website. Monitoring alone tells you what is missing but does not write it.
Common mistakes
- Buying a tracker and expecting the numbers to move without anyone building pages.
- Comparing the entry price without checking it is billed yearly.
- Treating mentions in AI answers as visits; only visits show the page earns traffic.
- Choosing by the number of engines tracked instead of by what you can act on.
How easyIndex solves it
easyIndex monitors AI citations with a monthly scan on 4 assistants and turns the gap into work: your coding agent gets each page as a step over MCP, easyIndex audits the draft, checks the page live and measures AI visitors and AI crawler reads, for US$ 30 per website a month.
Frequently asked questions
Does Rankscale write pages?
Its pricing page, checked 2026-10-09, describes tracking, page audits and recommendations, not pages built for you.
Does easyIndex track mentions in AI answers?
Yes. Every month your agent asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini up to 40 tracked questions in a private window and records which sources each answer cited and at which position; easyIndex checks the submission and shows AI visibility on the dashboard, next to AI visitors per page and AI crawler reads.
Can I use both?
Yes, but easyIndex already monitors citations monthly on 4 assistants; add Rankscale only if you need more engines.
Is there a free trial?
easyIndex has a 7-day free trial for one website.
