Local Falcon alternative
Comparison pages written by one of the competitors are usually worthless, so here's our attempt at a useful one: every number below is from published pricing you can check, dated, with the rows Local Falcon wins left standing. Same grid method, same credit model — genuinely different ideas about what a plan should include.
Local Falcon pricing comparison
| Maprank | Local Falcon | |
|---|---|---|
| Credit model | 1 credit = 1 grid point. A 7×7 scan is 49 credits. | Same: 1 credit = 1 data point. Also sold pay-as-you-go at $0.05/credit. |
| Entry plan | Solo — $19/mo, 4,500 credits (91 scans at 7×7) | Starter — $24.99/mo, 7,500 credits. More credits per dollar at entry: their win. |
| White-label reporting | Included on every plan, from $19 | Gated to the Premium plan, $199.99/mo |
| Client reports on your own domain | Every plan — youragency.com/r/…, with a client portal at the root | Not listed on their published plans |
| Team seats | Unlimited from the Agency plan ($39/mo) | Not listed on their published plans |
| Businesses / locations | Unlimited on every plan — adding one is free | Credits are the meter; see their plan terms |
| Top of the published ladder | Scale — $149/mo, 37,000 credits (755 scans at 7×7). Beyond it is an Enterprise contract. | Enterprise credit packs run $499–$4,999/mo |
| Grid sizes | Any odd size up to 13×13, any spacing in miles, per business | Preset grid sizes and spacing options |

If you send reports to clients, white label isn't a feature — it's the product. On Local Falcon's published plans that starts at Premium, $199.99 a month. On Maprank it starts at $19, because every plan gets every feature: plans differ only in credits, seats and top grid size.
You brand reports as your agency, you want them on your own domain, your team shares the account, or you want a published $149 top tier instead of enterprise credit packs.
You're scanning for yourself, their branding on reports doesn't cost you anything, and their entry plan's credit allowance covers your volume. We'd rather say so than pretend otherwise.
500 free credits, no card, no migration — add a business by name, scan the same market, and put the two reports next to each other. The comparison that matters is yours.
The worked example
Plan pages compare badly because nobody buys credits — they buy a working month. So price one: 20 clients, three keywords each, scanned monthly on a 7×7 grid.That's 20 × 3 × 49 = 2,940 credits on either tool, since both meter a grid point as a credit.
Both entry plans cover that month. Maprank Solo does it for less money ($19 against $24.99); Local Falcon's Starter gives more headroom for the money (7,500 credits against 4,500, which is still the better rate per credit). If raw scanning is the whole job and their branding on every report costs you nothing, that headroom is a real argument — we listed it in the table on purpose.
But an agency month doesn't end at the scan; it ends at the report the client sees. Sending those white-labeled is where the published pricing diverges: $199.99 a month (Local Falcon Premium) against $19(every Maprank plan) — with the report living on youragency.com either way you slice Maprank's tiers, because the domain, the portal and the hide-our-branding switch aren't tier features. Scale the same math up and the shape holds: Maprank Agency is $39 for 9,500 credits with unlimited seats, and Maprank Scale tops the published ladder at $149 for 37,000 where their published enterprise packs run to $4,999.
If you only do one thing
Don't decide from this page — or theirs. Pick one real client, one keyword that pays their bills, and run the same-sized grid on both tools inside the same week. Then judge three things, in this order: the report you'd actually send (open both on your phone, the way a client will), the plan each tool would really require for your reporting — white label included, not the banner price — and the napkin math for your true monthly volume. An hour of honest testing beats every comparison page ever written, ours included.
While you're evaluating: the method itself is explained on the geo grid page, the reporting story on the white-label page, and if a suite is also in the running, we've done the same honest treatment for BrightLocal and ranked the whole field in best geo grid rank trackers.
For an agency, usually — but not on every row, and we'd rather you check the math. Local Falcon's entry plan is cheaper per credit if all you need is scanning with their branding on it. The gap opens at white label: on Local Falcon that's a Premium feature at $199.99 a month, on Maprank it's included at $19. And at volume the ladder stays flat: Maprank Scale is $149 for 37,000 credits, while Local Falcon's published enterprise packs run to $4,999 a month.
Both run geo-grid scans of Google Maps rankings with a 1-credit-per-point model. The difference is what a plan includes: every Maprank plan gets every feature — white label, reports on your own domain, unlimited businesses, and unlimited seats from the Agency plan up — while Local Falcon distributes features across tiers, with white-label reporting on Premium. Maprank is built for agencies reselling the reports; that shapes everything.
The method is the same family: a grid of points, each asking Google Maps what a searcher there would see, tracked into the top 20. Maprank grids are any odd size up to 13×13 at any spacing in miles, set per business — so the grid follows the market instead of a preset list.
There's nothing to migrate: you add each business by name — no Google account connection — set your grid defaults, and your first scans become the new baseline. Maprank bills monthly and you can cancel anytime, so nothing locks you in while you run both side by side. Start with 500 free credits, no card, and compare the reports yourself.
Maprank does — you add any business by name, so you can scan clients and prospects without invites or OAuth. That also means nothing you do in Maprank can touch or misconfigure the profile itself.
Take 20 clients, three keywords each, scanned monthly at 7×7: that's 2,940 credits. Either tool's entry plan covers the scanning. The difference is the reports: sending them white-labeled needs Local Falcon's Premium plan at $199.99/mo on their published pricing, versus Maprank Solo at $19 — white label, your own report domain and unlimited businesses included. Scanning was never the expensive part; the branding was.
Same client, same grid, both tools, one week. Our half of the test costs nothing: 500 credits, no card.
