Scope AI Visibility Pricing (2026): Launch Prices, Checks, and Plan Fit

Short answer: Scope’s advertised launch pricing, checked on September 26, 2026, is US$25 per month for Starter and US$79 per month for Growth. Starter includes 100 prompt checks per month for one business; Growth includes 250 monthly checks for unlimited businesses. Both are monthly prices, and Scope says the launch price is locked for life. A seven-day trial is advertised.

This is a documentation-based buyer guide, not a hands-on review. AEOeye did not run Scope, submit prompts, or verify the quality of its engine results. The prices and included features below are transcribed from Scope’s public pricing page, while the workflow and product terminology come from its how-it-works page and documentation, checked on 2026-09-26. The calculations are arithmetic on those published figures; your actual business value still needs a live trial.

What does Scope cost by plan?

Scope publishes two launch-price plans. Starter is listed at a US$25/month launch price, with a US$99 reference price. Growth is listed at US$79/month launch, with a US$199 reference price. The page presents the launch price as locked for life, but a buyer should still save the offer terms and confirm whether taxes, payment-method restrictions, or future product exclusions apply.

Plan	Published launch price	Reference price	Included monthly checks	Businesses	Main published scope
Starter	US$25/month	US$99	100	1	ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity; unlimited seats; history; read-only MCP
Growth	US$79/month	US$199	250	Unlimited	8+ engines; CMS, crawler logs, MCP, and CLI

The prices above are monthly, not annualized commitments. The public offer also advertises a seven-day trial. “Unlimited seats” is not presented as Starter’s main limit; the important constraints are one business and 100 monthly checks. Growth removes the business-count limit and expands the workflow surface.

Scope’s official pricing page is the source of record for the offer. Pricing can change, so use the checked date when comparing this guide with a later checkout screen.

What do Scope’s checks and engines include?

Scope describes a check around a customer question and the included engines for that plan. Read the allowance as a measurement budget, not as a guaranteed number of finished reports or recommendations.

For Starter, the published engine list is ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. For Growth, Scope advertises 8+ engines. The vendor’s wording matters: one check points each included engine at one customer question. That does not mean one check equals one unique engine response, one tracked keyword, or one conversion opportunity. The exact prompt construction, result history, deduplication, retries, and any limits on changing prompts should be confirmed in the trial.

The plan difference is therefore broader than 100 versus 250. Starter is a single-business monitoring entry point with history and a read-only MCP connection. Growth is designed for teams managing multiple businesses or a deeper operating workflow, with CMS support, crawler logs, MCP, CLI access, and a broader engine set according to Scope’s published description.

If you are defining an AI search visibility program, first decide what a “question” means in your process. A buyer might track “best accounting software for a 20-person agency,” while a product team might track fixed category and comparison prompts. A practical framework is in AEOeye’s AEO audit checklist, and you can compare a lightweight workflow with the ChatGPT visibility checker.

How do you calculate Scope’s nominal cost per check?

Using the advertised monthly price divided by the advertised monthly allowance, Starter is US$25 ÷ 100 = US$0.25 per nominal check. Growth is US$79 ÷ 250 = US$0.316 per nominal check, which rounds to about US$0.32.

Those are reproducible ratios, not outcome costs. The calculation uses the same currency and monthly period on both sides:

Starter:  $25 / 100 checks = $0.25 per nominal check
Growth:   $79 / 250 checks = $0.316 per nominal check ≈ $0.32

A simple scenario makes the difference concrete without redefining the vendor’s unit. Scope says one check points every included engine at one customer question. Read literally, 20 questions checked once would use 20 of the 100 Starter checks, regardless of the four included engines. This is documentation arithmetic, not observed interface behavior; confirm whether scheduled reruns, retries, edits, or additional locations each consume another check during the trial.

Growth’s ratio is higher on this narrow arithmetic because its published allowance is 250 checks at $79. That does not make it worse value: Growth includes unlimited businesses, 8+ engines, and CMS, crawler-log, MCP, and CLI capabilities. The right comparison is your complete measurement workflow, not a single quotient.

Track three quantities separately: questions you need to run, engine coverage you need to compare, and operational features your team will actually use. A price-per-check ratio should sit beside those quantities, never replace them. AEOeye’s AI visibility tracker guide explains why repeatable prompts and historical comparisons matter.

Which Scope plan fits an AI visibility workflow?

Starter is the sensible first candidate when one business needs a compact recurring prompt set and the four named engines are enough for the decision. It is also the lower-risk way to test whether your team will review history and act on findings every month, rather than merely collect scores.

Growth becomes easier to justify when any of these conditions are real:

• You manage more than one business or brand.
• You need the published 8+ engine coverage.
• Your workflow depends on CMS, crawler logs, MCP, or CLI access.
• More than 100 monthly engine-question checks are needed.
• Multiple contributors need a shared operating process, not just a dashboard.

Do not upgrade simply because the reference price is larger or the engine count sounds impressive. Write down the prompts, brands, engines, and review cadence you will use for 30 days, then compare that plan with the allowance and trial experience. If your immediate need is a free directional snapshot, start with AEOeye’s ChatGPT visibility checker.

What should you verify before paying?

Use the seven-day trial to answer questions the pricing card cannot settle:

1. Counting: Does one customer question across all four Starter engines consume one check, as the public wording indicates? How are retries, edits, failed runs, and scheduled reruns counted?
2. Coverage: Which specific models or search surfaces sit behind “8+ engines,” and are all available in your region and plan?
3. History: How long are prompt results retained, and can you export the raw answers and citations?
4. Workflow: Are CMS, crawler logs, MCP, and CLI included without separate usage fees or setup charges?
5. Commercial terms: Is the launch price locked for the account, and what happens after the trial?

Save the pricing terms and record test prompts, dates, outputs, and limitations. That gives you a baseline for renewal decisions and prevents a cheap allowance from hiding an expensive manual process.

Frequently asked questions

Is Scope’s Starter plan US$25 or US$99 per month?

Scope’s public page shows US$25/month as the launch price and US$99 as the reference price, checked on 2026-09-26. Confirm the amount shown at checkout before subscribing.

Does Scope offer a free trial?

The public pricing offer advertises a seven-day trial. The trial’s exact limits, payment timing, and cancellation mechanics should be confirmed in the signup flow.

Is Growth cheaper per check than Starter?

No, using the published ratios: Starter is $0.25 per nominal check, while Growth is about $0.32. Growth may still be the better business choice because it adds unlimited businesses, 8+ engines, and workflow features.

Are Scope’s checks the same as completed AI visibility audits?

Not necessarily. Scope’s wording ties a check to one customer question across each included engine. Verify prompt counting, outputs, history, and export behavior during the trial before forecasting audit volume.
