 Hi Pedro,

 For scale you can place a scalebar and then select style "Numeric". The 
 only issue I see is that you can't select a text-alignment. Currently, 
 it is always left aligned. A future version should also support center 
 and right aligned scalebars/scale values.

 I know - it is a bit confusing that you have to select a scalebar for a 
 numeric scale values - that's why we should probably also do a tip on 
 that.

 Tim - here is another tip:

 -----------------
 Title: Numeric scale value in map layout linked to map frame
 Content: If you want to place a text label as a placeholder for the 
 current scale, linked to a map frame, you need to place a scalebar and 
 set the style to 'Numeric'. You need to select the map frame, if there 
 is more than one.
