Texting, the API and the white-label dashboard aren't in it unless sales turns them on, and there are no refunds afterwards. | CThe free plan has 1 location, 3 review profiles, 1 user and limited email requests, with no SMS. It works as a taster; most shops will outgrow it quickly. |
| Features | BThe whole local review job: review landing pages for hundreds of sites, email, text and MMS requests with follow-ups, monitoring with alerts, replies to Google and Facebook, review streams with schema, social sharing and branded reports.

SMS caps, the one-location limit on Lite and Grow, and the rank tracker only from Grow all hold it back. |

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.
