Key features
Geogrid
- Grid scans and heatmaps
- Each grid point runs its own Google Maps search from those coordinates, and the results are drawn as a color-coded heatmap of where the business shows up.
- Credits that skip repeat points
- One credit pays for one grid point, but points cached in the last 72 hours, water and uninhabited land are not billed, so a rescan usually costs less.
- AI insights and action plans
- An AI reading of each heatmap lists fixes by priority and the zone each one targets. Free and Starter get a few a month; Freelance and up get unlimited.
- Scheduled rescans and alerts
- Rescans run daily, weekly or monthly and email the change since the last run. Alerts on ranking drops start at the Agency plan.
- Client portals and white-label reports
- Agency and Enterprise share a branded, login-free portal link with each client and put the agency's own logo and domain on exports.

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.
