Which one is for you
Pick GBPPromote if
- Fits if you run one location and want Google posts and review replies automated for $16 a month
- Works for freelancers managing 2 to 7 client profiles at one flat price
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: the homepage offers a 3-day trial with no card, but the pricing FAQ says the software is paid from day one
- Watch out: rank scans spend 1 credit per map pin, so a 10x10 grid uses 100, and more credits cost extra
- Pricey if you have two locations, as the flat price for 2 to 7 jumps to $37 a month
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as the 12 free browser tools sit apart from the platform
- Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app, as it runs in the browser only
Pick Grid My Business if
- Fits if you want map rank grids, citations and review replies for a Google profile in one tool
- Works for solo agency owners tracking map rankings for up to 100 client profiles
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free: 250 credits cover about 10 scans, with no movable pins and no word on renewal
- Tight if you work in a team, as Growth has one user and seats start at Scale ($58 a month yearly)
- Watch out: scan counts assume a 5x5 grid, so bigger grids use up your credits faster
- Watch out: refunds cover only your first payment within 30 days, and renewals aren't refunded
- Skip it if you need the API, which comes only with the custom-priced Enterprise plan

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.
