Which one is for you

Pick F! Insights if

  • Fits if you're a local SEO consultant who prospects with free audits of local businesses
  • Works for agencies that want leads and client data kept in their own WordPress database

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you don't run WordPress, as it works only as a plugin with your own API keys
  • Watch out: the pages disagree, with Agency's checkout listing 1 website and a feature page quoting $300 a month
  • Watch out: trials take a card and charge when they end, and annual renewals aren't refunded automatically
  • Not for you if you want to resell it as your own product, as the admin dashboard keeps the F! Insights name
  • Watch out: Google and Anthropic bill every scan on top of the license, about $0.01 to $0.05 each

Pick LocalAuditPro if

  • Fits if you're a consultant who audits local businesses before pitching them
  • Works for agencies sending branded audit reports to prospects

Look elsewhere if

  • Too light for ongoing work, as it produces one-off audits and changes nothing on Google
  • Tight if you're trying it, as the 3 free audits come without PDFs or lead saving
  • Pricey if you want white-label reports or CSV lead export, which need Agency at $99 a month
  • Watch out: refunds cover only billing errors or access failures, asked for within 7 days

Value for money
DSolo is $100 a month for one website plus API use, just past where this category's dearest tenth starts ($99), and Agency is $3,000 a year. The free plugin is only free if you host WordPress and pay Google and Anthropic, about $0.01 to $0.05 a scan.
CPro is $59 a month for 100 audits, right at this category's dearer quarter ($59) and short of its dearest tenth ($99). White-label reports and CSV lead export need Agency at $99.
Free plan and trial
CThe free plugin scans without limit, with AI-scored reports and competitor benchmarks, but has no lead capture, branding or bulk scanning, and you pay the API costs. Paid trials take a card.
CNo free plan, but 3 free audit reports in total with no card. They come without PDF downloads or lead saving.
Features
CA profile scanner for your site, lead capture and a pipeline, a bulk scanner, AI outreach drafts, client tabs for posts and profile edits, and a geogrid. It's built for prospecting, and edits go to Google only, with no other directories on record.
DOne narrow job: one-off audits of a profile's info, categories, reviews, photos, citations and website signals, with ranked fixes, PDFs and saved leads. It doesn't manage, post to or track anything, and changes nothing on Google.
Ease of use
DNo rating on record. It's a self-hosted WordPress plugin: you install it and paste in your own Google Places and Anthropic API keys, which means setting up Google Cloud and Anthropic accounts first.
BNo rating on record, but there's nothing to connect: an audit starts from a business name, phone number or Maps link.
Platforms and integrations
BRuns in the browser through your own WordPress site, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to Google Business Profile, Google Places, Claude and Stripe.
CWeb only, with no desktop or phone app, and no integrations or API on record. Leads leave as a CSV file on Agency.

Worth knowing

F! Insights

  • Runs only inside WordPress with your own Google Places and Anthropic API keys; the maker puts API costs at about $0.01 to $0.05 a scan, billed by those companies.
  • Pages disagree: the pricing page gives Agency unlimited websites but its checkout lists 1 website, and a feature page quotes $300 a month instead of $100.
  • Trials take a card and charge when they end; refunds cover 14 days from the first charge, and annual renewals are not refunded automatically.
  • White-labeling covers reports, emails and the scanner widget, but the admin dashboard keeps the F! Insights name, so it cannot be resold as your own product.

LocalAuditPro

  • The free trial is 3 audit reports in total, without PDF downloads or lead saving.
  • White-label reports and CSV lead export need the Agency plan at $99 a month.
  • It produces one-off diagnostic audits; the vendor notes it does not change Google data or guarantee rankings.
  • Refunds cover only billing errors or access failures, requested within 7 days; used time and completed audits are not refunded.

Key features

F! Insights

Business Profile scanner
A shortcode puts a scanner on your site: any visitor can audit a local business and get a report scored in eight categories, with named competitors and PageSpeed results.
Lead capture and pipeline
On paid licenses each scan logs a lead with its scores; a pipeline tracks status, follow-ups and notes, and a bulk scanner scores a CSV of prospects overnight.
AI outreach drafts
Claude writes a cold pitch or reply for each prospect from its scan, citing a named competitor, the review gap or the PageSpeed score.
Client workspace
Per-client tabs for Google posts on a schedule, AI-written service pages published to the client's WordPress, a profile optimizer that pushes edits to Google, and review templates.
Geogrid and Near Me score
Map pack positions across a configurable grid such as 5×5 or 7×7, a five-part Near Me score and a competitor overlay, with snapshots over time.
Stripe client billing
Connect Stripe to sell your own Starter, Professional and Full Management plans to clients at prices you set; the client tiers are marked beta.

LocalAuditPro

Looks at directory presence and whether the business name, address and phone number match across key platforms.
Website trust signals
Checks the linked website for schema markup, authority signals, mobile performance and indexing.

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
