GridRankTracker checks how a Google Business Profile ranks on Google Maps from each point of a grid and draws it as a heat map, paid for with one-time credit packs from $4.99 that never expire. It covers Maps only, with no organic or AI tracking and no integrations or API, and every grid point costs a credit, so scheduled 13×13 scans use packs up fast. - **Value for money: A.** Packs are paid once: $4.99 for 1,250 credits up to $79.99 for 20,000, and credits never expire. Even the top pack costs less than a year of this category's middle subscription ($19.99 a month). A 5×5 scan uses 25 credits, so Lite covers about 50. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A free account with no card and no time limit: 100 credits, 1 project, heat maps and competitor data. The credits are a one-time grant, about four 5×5 scans, and exports, sharing, scheduling and comparisons need a paid pack. - **Features: C.** Grids from 3×3 to 13×13, heat maps, competitors at each point, scheduled rescans, before/after comparisons and client share links. It does the Maps grid job fully, but that's a smaller job: no organic rankings, other engines or AI answers. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. No third-party accounts or keys are needed, but you pick grid sizes, keywords and schedules and budget credits by the point. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no desktop or phone app, and no integrations or API on record. Results leave by CSV, image export or a public share link. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from GridRankTracker's own pages on 23 October 2026.
