Which one is for you

Pick GBPly if

  • Fits if you own one business and want help keeping its Google profile current
  • Works for agencies that want clients to approve posts in a branded portal

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if you want a free plan, since the only trial lasts 3 days
  • Pricey if you want the white-label portal and client reports, which start at $69 a profile a month
  • Skip it if you need listings submitted to directories, as it only finds and checks them
  • Tight if you scan often, as 250 map-point credits cover about ten 5x5 scans and packs start at $15

Pick GLocal if

  • Fits if you want posts, photos and review replies going out on a schedule
  • Works for agencies sending monthly branded reports for up to 50 client locations

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no trial, only a 30-day money-back guarantee
  • Tight if you're on Starter, as 20k AI tokens a month is roughly 7 to 20 review replies
  • Watch out: extra AI tokens are sold, but the price isn't stated
  • Skip it if you track Maps rankings, as that's GTrack, sold separately
  • Pricey if you want white-label reports, which start at $149 a month, and Agency stops at 50 locations

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.
