Pricing

Local Falcon pricing, explained with real scan math

Local Falcon sells credits, and one credit is one map pin. A 5x5 grid uses 25 credits and a 15x15 uses 225, for each keyword, every time it runs. Starter, at $24.99 a month billed annually, comes with 90,000 credits a year; Premium, at $199.99, with 778,000. Keywords and locations are unlimited on every plan.

Tracking 5 keywords on a 15x15 grid once a week uses about 4,500 credits a month, so grid size and scan frequency decide the plan you need. Enterprise plans run from $499 to $4,999 a month, and pay as you go credits cost $0.05 each and never expire.

Local Falcon's pricing billed annually: Starter $24.99 a month for 90,000 credits a year, Basic $49.99 for 183,000, Pro $99.99 for 383,000 and Premium $199.99 for 778,000 — localfalcon.com/pricing, rendered September 27, 2026.

Frequently asked

How does Local Falcon pricing work?

Local Falcon sells credits, and every pin on a geo-grid scan uses one. A 5x5 grid is 25 credits per keyword per scan; a 15x15 grid is 225. Plans run from $24.99 a month billed annually, for 90,000 credits a year, to $199.99 a month for 778,000, and Enterprise plans run $499, $999, $2,499 and $4,999 a month. Pay as you go credits cost $0.05 each and never expire. Your bill scales with grid size, keyword count and how often you scan.

Is there a free Local Falcon alternative?

Rank.ai runs a free 3x3 map scan with no signup at rank.ai/free-tools/geo-grid. Whitespark gives 200 free grid credits with no card, and BrightLocal and Local Dominator offer trials without a credit card. Local Falcon itself gives 100 free credits when you sign up.

What is a geo-grid scan?

A geo-grid scan checks your Google Maps ranking from a grid of points around your location. The tool lays a grid over your service area, runs the keyword from each point, and colors each pin by your rank there. It shows where you win and where you disappear: a business can rank first at its front door and fifteenth two miles away.

Does Rank.ai track AI answers as well as map rankings?

Yes. From $49 a month Rank.ai asks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini your buying questions every day and records every brand each answer names and every page it cites, and Perplexity, Grok or DeepSeek can be switched on for any question. Its map scan checks your Google Maps rank on a 3x3, 5x5 or 7x7 grid on the same login.

Which alternative has the largest grids?

Local Falcon scans grids up to 21x21, and Whitespark's Local Ranking Grids use from 4 to 225 points. Rank.ai's map scan offers 3x3, 5x5 and 7x7 grids.

When is Local Falcon still the right pick?

When you need Apple Maps grids, grids larger than 7x7, AI visibility scans sampled across a whole grid, alerts on profile edits, automated review replies and posts, or white label reports. Local Falcon invented geo-grid rank tracking and still covers it in the most depth.
