Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.4

GPA, above 23 of the 39 other rank trackers we grade

GridRankTracker is a web-based local rank tracker that checks where a Google Business Profile ranks on Google Maps from each point of a grid laid over its area, and draws the results as a heat map with competitor positions. Paid plans are one-time credit packs rather than subscriptions, and the credits do not expire.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about GridRankTracker, taken from its own pages and our grades.

No third-party accounts or keys are needed, but you pick grid sizes, keywords and schedules and budget credits by the point.

The report card

Best for Google Maps grid scans without a subscription

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.

ToolGPA report cardGridRankTrackerGraded Oct 23, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyAPacks 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 trialCA 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.
FeaturesCGrids 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 useCNo 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 integrationsCWeb 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.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.4

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who GridRankTracker is for

  • Fits if you check a local business's Maps ranking across town now and then, without a monthly bill
  • Works for service-area businesses whose address is hidden on Google

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if you need organic web rankings, other search engines or AI answers, as it tracks Google Maps only
  • Tight if you scan often, as each grid point is a credit and a scheduled 13×13 scan uses 169 every run
  • Tight if you're staying free, as the 100 credits never refill and exports, sharing and scheduling all need a pack
  • Watch out: white-label exports start at Starter ($19.99), and refunds come only within 14 days with under 10% of credits used
  • Not for you if you want scans fed into reports or dashboards, as there are no integrations or API

Good to know

Good for

  • Local businesses checking how their Maps ranking changes across town
  • Freelancers and agencies running occasional grid scans without a subscription
  • Service-area businesses whose address is hidden on Google

Worth knowing

  • Each grid point uses one credit: a 5×5 scan costs 25 credits and a 13×13 scan 169, so heavy scheduled scanning uses packs up quickly.
  • The free account's 100 credits are a one-time grant, and exports, share links, scheduling and comparisons all need a paid pack.
  • It tracks Google Maps rankings of Google Business Profiles only, not organic web results or other search engines.
  • Refunds are given within 14 days of purchase only if fewer than 10% of the purchased credits have been used.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Your call

You could make the core of GridRankTracker for yourself: reports.

What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $4.99, paid once, it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it.

What you could make

  • Reports: an app builder makes this well.
  • It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.

What you could not

  • Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.

What this rests on. GridRankTracker’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.
