Scalenut Pricing and Plans With the Real Cost per Year

Every figure below comes from Scalenut's own pricing page. The monthly column is the list price. The yearly column is the 60 percent offer the page labels "Limited Offer", which also doubles the article, optimization, cluster, and audit limits shown in brackets.

Plus also unlocks the advanced content audit, On-page Pro, internal linking suggestions, topic gaps, and auto-publishing to WordPress and Shopify. Professional adds an advanced keyword planner, cannibalization analysis, a dedicated customer success manager, and priority support. AI Link Manager, OnPage Pro page packs, and an AI detector and humanizer are sold as add-ons.

Scalenut counts three separate things, and they run out separately. New articles are GEO-ready drafts built from its research. Existing articles optimized are pages you already published that you pull into the optimizer and rework, so this number is the real cap on refresh work. GEO content audit pages are pages Scalenut crawls and scores each month. Hitting a cap locks that feature until the next cycle.

The audit number is the one that surprises teams with a big archive. Starter has none. On monthly billing, Plus audits 200 pages a month, so a 400-page blog takes two months to get through once. Professional at 1,000 pages a month covers most mid-size sites in a single pass.

Prompt tracking is weekly on every plan. Ten prompts on Starter is enough to watch a handful of brand and category questions in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews; a team that reports on AI visibility as a channel will want Professional for the Perplexity coverage and 100 prompts.

At list prices, before add-ons:

Two cautions before you budget on the low column. The yearly prices are a promotion, not a permanent list price, so confirm the figure at checkout and on the renewal date. And the pricing page FAQ says its discounted deals are non-refundable and points buyers to the free trial first. Run the 7-day trial on real pages from your own site before committing a year.

A worked example. A four-person content team at a US SaaS company owns a 400-page blog, wants the whole archive checked for decay, and plans to refresh about 30 declining posts a month.

• Starter ($288 a year on the offer): ruled out. No content audit and 10 optimizations a month at best.
• Plus ($432 a year on the offer, $1,068 monthly): fits the team of four. On the yearly offer, 60 optimizations and 400 audit pages a month cover the plan. On monthly billing you get exactly 30 optimizations and 200 audit pages, so the full archive is audited every other month.
• Professional ($960 a year on the offer, $2,388 monthly): room to grow, plus Perplexity tracking and cannibalization analysis.

The honest reading: while the yearly offer runs, Scalenut Plus is cheap for a team that also writes new articles every month. The question is what you get for each refresh. Scalenut gives you an editor with term suggestions for the page you choose. It does not watch the archive between audits and rank which pages are losing the most traffic.

Scalenut is worth the price when one tool should research keywords, build clusters, write GEO-ready drafts, publish to WordPress or Shopify, and track a set of AI prompts. At $36 a month on the yearly offer, Plus is one of the cheapest ways to get that bundle with a small team.

It is weaker value when your stack already covers writing and your growth problem is decay across hundreds of published pages. Optimizations are capped at 5 to 75 a month, audits run on a monthly allowance, and the work starts from a page you pick rather than from a ranked queue of pages losing clicks. Our Scalenut alternative comparison lays out which tool fits which job, and the full Scalenut review covers output quality and support.

Entry and mid tiers side by side, with the limit that matters most for pages you already published. Figures are public list prices; Scalenut is shown at its monthly price.

Plan-by-plan detail for the others is on Frase pricing, Surfer SEO pricing, and Clearscope pricing.

Reoptimize does one job: it keeps the pages you already published competitive, wherever they were written. Import a sitemap and it monitors every page continuously, ranks the declining ones by estimated traffic at stake, and turns each into a rewrite plan a writer can execute the same day: title and meta, the subtopics ranking pages cover and yours skips, heading order, internal links to add and where from, the schema the page qualifies for, and the facts that date it.

Starter is $29 per month billed yearly for 100 monitored pages and 20 rewrite plans. Pro is $89 per month billed yearly for 1,000 pages, 150 rewrite plans, and 5 seats, which covers the 400-page example above with room for 120 more refreshes a month. It does not draft new articles, so teams that want both often keep a writer tool and add Reoptimize for the archive.
