Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 43 of the 61 other local SEO tools we grade
Synup is a local marketing platform for agencies, franchises and local businesses, run by an AI agent called Sydekick that carries out work under approval rules. It covers listings sync to 100+ publishers, review monitoring and requests, social posting, local rank grids, location pages and AI answer visibility. Every plan has every feature; the plan is set by how many locations you manage, and agent work spends monthly credits.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Synup, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1

The report card
Best for agencies handing local tasks to an AI agent
Synup runs listings sync to 100+ publishers, reviews, social posts, local rank grids and AI answer checks through an AI agent, with every feature on every plan, from $39 a month for one location on yearly billing. The agent spends monthly credits and stops when they run out, and the next plan after one location is $239 a month.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Solo is $39 a month for one location on yearly billing, $49 monthly, between this category's middle ($31) and dearer quarter ($59). Every feature is included, but a second location moves you to Premium at $239 a month for up to 10. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a 14-day trial of the Solo plan with $50 in AI credits. The trial doesn't cover the bigger plans or white labeling. |
| Features | B | Listings sync to Google, Apple, Bing, Facebook and 100+ publishers and aggregators, review replies and requests, social posting, geogrid rank tracking, location pages and AI answer scores. It covers the whole job, with the agent's work metered in credits. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You set approval rules, skills and playbooks for the agent and keep an eye on the credit balance, on top of connecting each location's profiles. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with no desktop or phone app. It connects to Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect, Bing Places, Facebook, Tripadvisor, Slack and HubSpot, with APIs and MCP. |
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 Synup is for
- Fits if you're an agency running listings, reviews and posts for up to 50 client locations
- Works for teams willing to hand routine local tasks to an AI agent under approval rules
Who it is not for
- Watch out: agent work, posts, review replies and listing updates spend credits, and work pauses when they run out
- Watch out: the listed credits are quadrupled for launch, and the page doesn't say what accounts opened after September 30 get
- Pricey if you have two locations, as the next band is Premium at $239 a month yearly, and above 50 it's a sales quote
- Tight if you need white labeling, which starts at Premium, while the free trial covers only Solo
Good to know
Good for
- Agencies running listings, reviews and social posts for many clients
- Franchises and chains with up to 50 locations on a fixed plan price
- Teams that want an AI agent to do routine local marketing tasks
Worth knowing
- Agent work, posts, review replies and listing updates spend credits; when they run out, agent work pauses until you buy more.
- The listed credits are quadrupled for launch; accounts opened by September 30 keep them, and the page does not say what later accounts get.
- White labeling needs Premium or above, and the free trial covers only the Solo plan.
- Above 50 locations the price is a contract quote from sales.

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.
Keep it
To replace Synup you would be making listings sent to dozens of directories and map apps, which takes an agreement with each. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
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 $468 a year.
What you could make
- Review collection: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Listings sent to dozens of directories and map apps, which takes an agreement with each.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- It plugs into other products, Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect and Bing Places among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Synup’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.
