Citekit Scale for Food and beverage
A plain-English breakdown of the Scale plan for Food and beverage startups: price, limits, what it replaces and when to move up.
The Scale plan is the one most startups teams in Food and beverage should start on, but “most” is not “all”. This is what the plan includes, where it runs out, and the exact signal that tells you to move up.
Citekit Scale costs $399/mo monthly or $319/mo annual. It includes 10,000 tracked prompts, 6 engines, 10 brands and 30 seats. Upgrade when prompt coverage or brand count is the constraint, not when the dashboard feels small.
What is included
| Included | Scale |
|---|---|
| Everything in Growth | Yes |
| 10 brands | Yes |
| 10,000 prompts | Yes |
| API and webhooks | Yes |
| SSO | Yes |
| White-label reports | Yes |
| Priority support | Yes |
| Tracked prompts | 10,000 |
| Brands | 10 |

Cost per tracked prompt
| Plan | Monthly | Prompts | Cost per prompt |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $49 | 100 | $0.49 |
| Growth | $149 | 1,000 | $0.15 |
| Scale | $399 | 10,000 | $0.04 |
At $399/mo and 10,000 prompts, Scale works out at $0.04 per tracked prompt per month. That is the number to hold against a competitor's quote, which often bundles a smaller prompt pack and charges for overage.
Is Scale enough for Food and beverage startups?
Usually yes for the first two quarters. The constraints to watch are prompt volume, brands and seats. Food and beverage teams typically start with 50–200 revenue-critical prompts and grow the set as they learn which questions precede pipeline.
When to move up
- You are tracking more than 10,000 prompts and keep trimming the set.
- You need more than 10 brands (a second product, a regional entity or a client).
- You need API access, SSO or white-label reporting.
- You are running more than one team in the same workspace.
