What's New in Rankin AI: July 2026 Release

We've been working nonstop, and this is where it landed: the Rankin AI July 2026 release. Read on to explore what's new, what got better, and what we rebuilt from the ground up. And we're not stopping here. There's so much more on the way...

Every Account Is Now an Organization

Invite Members (New Feature)

You can now invite members to your workspace by email (go to Settings > Organization). You can share three types of access:

Manage who has access to this organization and which brands they can see

• Admin: Manages all brands & members
• Member: Access only to granted brands
• Guest: Any email, access only to granted brands

Invite member (Send an invitation by email to join this organization)

Inviting Members is available for both Individual and Agency Plans. To see the limits of this feature on your plan, visit our Pricing page.

New Brand Switcher (Improvement)

If you manage more than one brand, there's also a new switcher in the header that moves you between organizations and projects instantly, instead of logging out and back in. Before this, managing multiple brands with others meant using separate logins or sharing manually. Now everyone works from one connected workspace.

New Plan: Ranger Joins Individual Plans (New Plan)

There's also a new individual tier this release: Ranger, priced at $39/month, sitting between the free Scout plan and Pathfinder ($79/month).

Meet Rankin AI's new plan: Ranger, at just $39 per month

Ranger opens up the full feature set that used to require a much bigger jump. Where Scout locks you into a single AI provider (Google AI Mode) and once-a-week tracking, Ranger includes four AI providers (ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, and Perplexity) with daily prompt tracking (running your set questions against each AI model on a schedule), plus full access to Sources, Semantic Hub, Content Hub, the Hallucination Monitor, Advanced Analytics, and API access, none of which are available on Scout.

Ranger still caps you at 1 brand, same as Scout, but nearly every other limit jumps meaningfully: 35 prompts instead of 10. If you've outgrown Scout's free tier but aren't ready for Pathfinder's plan, Ranger is built for exactly that gap.

Agency Plans & Functionality (New Plans & Features)

If you run an agency, your plan used to lock every client brand into the same fixed schedule and the same set of providers, with no way to give an active client more attention than a quiet one. Agency Plans fix that: instead of one fixed setup applied to every brand on your account, you choose how many prompts, which AI providers, and how often each client brand runs, backed by a shared credit pool rather than a rigid monthly allowance.

More on agency plans and functionality, you can read in our separate article that explores more details of this part of the release.

A Smarter Dashboard & Numbers You Can Actually Trust

AI Visibility Overview (New Feature)

The dashboard now opens with a visibility overview. It includes the following metrics:

• Mention Rate: Share of AI answers this period that mention your brand at least once.
• Responses: Number of AI responses mentioning your brand, out of the total measured this period.
• Competitive SoV (Mentions): Your share of voice among configured competitors: own / (own + competitor).
• Citation Rate: Share of AI citations that link to your brand's domains.
• Top Domain: The domain most often cited for your brand this period.
• Mention Raye by Model: Share of each AI model's answers that mention your brand this period.

Rankin AI Dashboard - AI Visibility Overview

Trend Numbers Are More Honest Now (Improvement)

They used to show relative percentage changes, which can be misleading. A jump from 2% to 4% is technically a "100% increase," but that makes a small move sound bigger than it is. Trends now show plain percentage-point changes instead, so that same move reads as "+2 points," which is what actually happened.

Refined Metrics Formulas (Improvement)

Underneath all of this, the way rates get calculated changed, too. Share of voice, presence, and topic metrics used to be built by averaging stored daily percentages, which could quietly distort results when you looked across several days or multiple AI providers at once. They're now calculated from raw counts in real time instead. You don't need to do anything differently. The numbers you see should simply match reality more closely, especially in multi-day or multi-provider views.

New AI Provider: Microsoft Copilot (New AI Provider)

Rankin AI now tracks Microsoft Copilot as an AI model, alongside ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, and Perplexity. Available on agency plans. That makes it another place where a buyer might ask about your brand, your competitors, or your category, and get an AI-generated answer instead of a list of links.

For agency plans, Copilot tracking is available right now. You can select it as an AI provider for all your brand and pitch projects. If you're on the free plan (Scout) or paid individual plan (Pathfinder or Nexus), this release doesn't change your current provider tracking.

Sources, Prompts, and Semantic Hub, Redesigned for Faster Scanning (Improvement)

This release also brought a real push toward UI/UX consistency across the app. Three core pages (Sources, Prompts, and Semantic Hub) got a visual pass, all following the same design language now, so switching between them feels like using one connected product. The goal throughout: let you see what matters without digging.

Site Audit: Fixed Bugs, Enhanced Outputs (Improvement)

Site Audit had a batch of accuracy fixes this release. Mobile-friendliness and sitemap checks bugs with the  "unknown" results now return real results. Security checks are backed by actual evidence. Large sites no longer lose pages partway through a crawl. None of this changes how you use Site Audit. It just fixes bugs and provides better results.

Separately, if you track a global brand, you can now monitor it across multiple countries within a single project, instead of one blended view that mixes every market together.

MCP Support (New Feature)

We also released Rankin AI MCP. You can now generate an API key to connect an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) to your Rankin account. The feature is available on all paid plans.

Navigate to your account Settings > API Keys to generate your key.

Connect an MCP client and create API keys

Rankin AI's Team Is Not Stopping Here

That's everything from this release, but we're already back at it. The next release is already in development, and we'll be back with more of what's new, what got better, and what we rebuilt. If you have feedback on anything above, we'd love to hear it.
