Clearscope

Content optimisation for search.

What it is

Clearscope is a content optimisation platform that has extended from search rankings into tracking how often a brand is cited by AI assistants. Its pricing is unusual for the category in that seats and projects are unlimited on every plan — what you actually buy is usage: tracked prompts, optimised pages, topic explorations and drafts per month. The add-on rates are the detail that decides the tier, because extra pages and drafts cost noticeably less on the higher plan, so a heavy Essentials subscriber ends up paying Business money without the Business allowance.

Clearscope publishes 2 plans. Paid tiers start at $129/mo billed monthly.

Pick it or skip it

Pick Clearscope if

  • Content teams of any size: users and projects are unlimited on every plan, so the cost does not grow with headcount
  • Small teams publishing at a steady pace — Essentials at $129 a month covers 50 pages and 50 tracked prompts
  • Agencies and in-house teams at volume: Business at $399 covers 300 pages and 300 prompts and adds a dedicated account manager
  • Buyers who want to expand predictably, since extra pages and drafts have published add-on rates rather than a quote

Skip it if

  • You are a single writer — the entry plan is $129 a month and there is no cheaper individual tier
  • You expect to lean on add-ons from Essentials: extra pages cost $25 a month there against $15 on Business, and drafts $50 against $20
  • You need SSO or crawler whitelisting, which are Enterprise features at custom pricing
  • Your workflow needs many drafts: Essentials includes 20 a month and Business is not listed with an unlimited allowance

Our verdict

Priced for teams, not individuals, but the unlimited-seat model means a whole content team can use it for one subscription. Do the add-on maths before staying on Essentials.

Limit: Vendor pricing page was reviewed by an editor on this date; this record is not a ToolCompare benchmark. Prices and limits change. The add-on selector maps block sizes to prices client-side, so only the per-plan add-on rates could be read, not the price of each individual block.
