7 Best BrightLocal Alternatives in 2026

Prices and features below come from each vendor's own pricing and product pages, checked on 25 October 2026. US dollars. Some vendors show yearly-billed prices only; we say which.

What BrightLocal offers today

BrightLocal prices three plans per location. For one location, Track is $41 a month ($369 a year), Manage $54 ($485) and Grow $65 ($584); the price per location falls in bands, for example Track at $62 a month for 2 to 5 locations and $104 for 11 to 20. Track includes the Local Rank Tracker (up to 100 keywords and four competitors per location on Google and Bing), a Local Search Grid for up to five keywords, citation tracking, a GBP audit and a Local AI Visibility Tracker for ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews. Manage adds listing sync and GBP post scheduling; Grow adds review monitoring and review requests. White-labelling is listed in its plan comparison, and the platform works in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia. 14-day trial without a card.

The usual reasons to look elsewhere: clients outside those four countries, per-location pricing that grows quickly for multi-location brands, wanting larger geo-grids than five keywords per location, or needing only one part of the suite.

Pick by what you used BrightLocal for

Where Fenn fits

Fenn is not a local SEO suite. It asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok the questions a business's customers ask, shows which businesses each names and which sources it cites, and drafts site fixes and pages for a person to approve. It does not manage listings, reviews or map rankings, so agencies use it beside one of the tools above. The Agency plan is $199 a month for up to 25 websites, set up after a demo.
