How we compiled this
Official pricing pages were re-fetched 2026-06-15/18 for each vendor where accessible (whitespark.ca product pages, synup.com/en/pricing, localo.com/pricing, semrush.com/kb/1611-pricing-and-plans, uberall.com/en-us/pricing, birdeye.com/pricing, soci.ai/pricing). brightlocal.com/pricing now displays 'Price on request' for Track/Manage/Grow, so the $39/$49/$59 monthly figures are sourced from third-party checkthat.ai and retained as multi-source consensus (a +5% Track / +10% Manage&Grow increase is announced effective 2026-07-01; current prices apply through June 2026). moz.com was unreachable; Moz Local per-location prices ($20/$30/$40 monthly; $16/$24/$33 annual-equivalent) corroborated across tekpon, stackscored, g2 and multiple 2026 aggregators. Yext's official pricing page returned HTTP 503; self-serve tiers ($199/$449/$499/$999 PER YEAR per location, annual billing only) sourced from checkthat.ai and socialpilot.co with consistent multi-source agreement, applying to US small businesses (10-25 locations) only. Per-location is the billing unit for BrightLocal, Moz Local, Semrush Local and Yext; Synup uses flat agency seat/location tiers; Whitespark sells standalone tools; Uberall/Birdeye/SOCi are quote-only. monthlyUsd is set to null for any plan whose recurring monthly price is not published (Yext annual-only, all quote-only enterprise tiers). accessedAt 2026-06-15.
