GMB Radar review (2026): is it worth $15 a month?
Credit-based geogrid rank tracker for Google Maps and organic search
GMB Radar report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for credit-based geogrid scans on Google Maps
GMB Radar checks where a Google Business Profile ranks on Maps across a grid or from chosen points, tracks organic rankings too and makes white-label reports, from $15 a month for 5,000 credits. It tracks and nothing else, monthly credits expire, and its pages disagree on whether white-label reports come with every plan.
Who GMB Radar is for
- Fits if you want to check map rankings across your service area on a small budget
- Works for freelancers sending branded ranking reports to a handful of clients
Who GMB Radar is not for
- Too light for managing listings or reviews, as it only tracks rankings
- Watch out: credits expire at the end of each billing cycle, and extra ones are sold as top-ups
- Watch out: the homepage puts white-label reports on every plan, but the pricing FAQ ties them to Professional and Premium
- Watch out: the terms say scan data may be kept for only 6 months, so export what you want to keep
Why GMB Radar gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyStandard is $15 a month for 5,000 credits, or 200 scans of a 5x5 grid, inside this category's cheaper quarter ($16). Yearly costs the same as twelve months; the credits just arrive upfront.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan. You get 300 credits on sign-up with no card, a one-time grant that covers twelve 5x5 scans.
- CFeaturesGrid and pin scans on demand or on a schedule, organic rank tracking, competitor and history reports, white-label PDFs and a review poster. It does rank tracking fully, but that's a smaller job, with no listing or review management.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. You set up grids, keywords and schedules and budget your credits, where one credit is one check from one point.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no desktop or phone app. It works with Google Business Profile, and a beta API pulls ranking data into other tools.

Keep GMB Radar, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of GMB Radar you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 43 of the 61 other local SEO tools we grade. It costs $180 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- It plugs into other products, Google Business Profile among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. GMB Radar’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is GMB Radar?
GMB Radar is a web-based rank tracker that checks where a Google Business Profile ranks on Google Maps from points on a custom grid or from chosen locations. It also tracks a website's organic Google rankings, compares competitors, keeps ranking history and produces white-label reports. Every plan has the same features; plans differ by monthly credits, where one credit is one ranking check from one point.
Worth knowing
- Credits expire at the end of each billing cycle, and the 300 sign-up credits are a one-time grant; extra credits are sold as top-ups.
- Yearly plans cost the same as twelve months; the difference is that all credits arrive upfront.
- The terms say scan data may be kept for only 6 months, so older results should be exported.
- The homepage says white-label reports are on every plan, but the pricing FAQ ties them to the Pro and Premium plans.
