Local Falcon pricing in 2026: what the credit plans cost
Local Falcon pricing starts at $24.99 a month for 7,500 credits and runs to $199.99 a month for 63,150 credits, in USD, with 100 free credits on sign-up and no card needed. Those are the figures on Local Falcon’s own pricing page as read in September 2026. A credit there is one point on a geo-grid scan, so the real question is how many keywords a plan covers once you pick a grid size and a scan frequency. This page works that out, says who should stay with Local Falcon, and shows where a flat per-keyword price is easier to budget. Local Rank Tracker is that flat option: it scans a grid around a Google Maps listing every week and shows your rank and the #1 business at each point, for one price per tracked keyword.
This is written for a small business owner or a local-SEO freelancer who has seen a Local Falcon heat map and wants to know what running one every week actually costs.
Local Falcon pricing at a glance, as of September 2026
| Package | Monthly billing | Credits per month | Annual billing | Credits per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $24.99 | 7,500 | $299.88 | 90,000 |
| Basic | $49.99 | 15,150 | $599.88 | 183,000 |
| Pro | $99.99 | 31,250 | $1,199.88 | 383,000 |
| Premium | $199.99 | 63,150 | $2,399.88 | 778,000 |
Above Premium, Local Falcon lists enterprise packages. Its FAQ puts them between $499 and $4,999 a month. Credits you buy outside a package are pay-as-you-go:
These pay-as-you-go credits cost $0.05 per credit and never expire.
Package credits do expire. Local Falcon’s page says monthly credits expire at the end of each month and annual credits at the end of each year. Budget for the scans you will actually run, since unused credits do not carry over on a monthly plan.
What a Local Falcon credit buys
Local Falcon defines a credit in plain terms on its pricing page:
A credit in Local Falcon is defined as one data point, often referred to as a “map pin,” used on the geo-grid during a scan.
So the cost of one scan is the number of points in the grid:
| Grid size | Points per scan | Credits per scan |
|---|---|---|
| 5x5 | 25 | 25 |
| 7x7 | 49 | 49 |
| 9x9 | 81 | 81 |
A few other things draw on the same balance. Falcon AI analysis of a scan costs 25 credits per report. The Sales Enablement lookup costs 1 credit per lead. The on-demand API is a separate $199 monthly subscription with its own usage fees.
How many keywords does each plan cover?
This is the number that decides whether a plan fits, and Local Falcon leaves it to you. Its FAQ lists the variables: grid size, keyword count, number of listings, Falcon AI use, platform (Google and Apple), and how often you scan. It recommends weekly or bi-weekly scans.
Here is the arithmetic for one listing scanned weekly on Google, taking a month as about 4.3 weeks and adding no Falcon AI reports. These are our calculations from Local Falcon’s published figures, rounded down:
| Package | 5x5 weekly | 7x7 weekly | 9x9 weekly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter, $24.99 | about 69 keywords | about 35 keywords | about 21 keywords |
| Basic, $49.99 | about 140 keywords | about 71 keywords | about 43 keywords |
| Pro, $99.99 | about 290 keywords | about 148 keywords | about 89 keywords |
If you scan weekly on a large grid and track dozens of keywords, Local Falcon’s Starter package is a lot of scanning for $24.99. That is the honest headline. Scanning competitors’ listings as well, or adding Falcon AI to each report, pulls those numbers down, which is why the table is a ceiling rather than a promise.
The free start is small by comparison. 100 credits is four 5x5 scans, or one 9x9 scan with some left over. That is enough to see a heat map once. It is not enough to watch a keyword move over a month.
Who should stay with Local Falcon
Local Falcon is the better fit, and you should stay, if any of these describe you:
- You track many keywords or many locations. Credit pricing gets cheap per scan at volume, and the table above shows it.
- You need grids larger than 7x7, fine-grained radius control, or service-area business scans.
- You report to clients. Campaign, competitor and trend reports, white-label reports, public report URLs and CSV and PDF exports are all listed on its plans.
- You track more than Google Maps. Local Falcon lists Apple Maps rank tracking and AI visibility tracking.
- You build on the data. It lists an API, a Looker Studio connector and Zapier and n8n integrations.
None of that is in Local Rank Tracker. If those are the job, Local Falcon is the tool.
When a flat per-keyword price is simpler
Credit pricing asks you to plan grid sizes, frequencies and top-ups before you know what you need. Some people would rather pay for a keyword and have the scanning happen on its own. That is how Local Rank Tracker is priced.
- One price per tracked keyword: 20 credits a month covers one keyword on one listing, scanned every week.
- Grid size does not change the price. You pick 3x3, 5x5 or 7x7 points, at 0.5, 1, 2, 5 or 10 miles out from the listing.
- The scans run on their own. Nobody schedules them or watches a balance per scan.
- A new account gets 100 credits once, which covers 5 keywords for their first month. No card is needed to start.
Each grid shows your position at every point, colour coded: top 3 in green, 4 to 10 in amber, past 10 or outside the top 20 in red. Point at any square to see which business is #1 there. If a weekly scan cannot measure enough of the grid, it says so and tries again within a day, and you keep seeing the last good grid with its date.

What Local Rank Tracker costs
Local Rank Tracker draws on the same credit balance as every Tiraisoft Radar plan. At 20 credits per keyword per month:
| Plan | Price per month | Credits per month | Keywords covered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0, once | 100 | 5 for the first month |
| Starter | $39 | 200 | 10 |
| Pro | $99 | 550 | 27 |
| Agency | $499 | 3,000 | 150 |
Full details are on the pricing page. Per scan, Local Falcon is cheaper once you track more than a handful of keywords, and this table does not pretend otherwise. The trade is a bill you can read at a glance, scans that run themselves, and one balance shared with review monitoring.
Rankings and reviews on one balance
Map pack position moves with reviews, and the same account can run Review Radar. It watches a listing’s Google reviews and up to three competitors’, and tells you the day a negative review goes unanswered, and one press drafts the reply for one credit. If you want to compare review tools too, our BrightLocal alternative and BrightLocal vs Whitespark pieces cover that side.
How to switch, or try both
You do not have to choose on paper. Both products give 100 credits at sign-up.
- In Local Falcon, run one scan for the keyword that matters most and note the grid size.
- In Local Rank Tracker, find your listing by name and city, enter the same keyword without “near me”, and pick the closest grid size and radius.
- Compare the two grids after the first weekly scan. Look at where you drop out of the top 3 and who is #1 there.
- Keep whichever answers your question at a price you can predict. If you need reports for clients or Apple Maps, that is Local Falcon. If you want a weekly grid for a few keywords and nothing to schedule, that is Local Rank Tracker.
The short version
Local Falcon pricing is credit based: $24.99 to $199.99 a month for 7,500 to 63,150 credits, one credit per grid point, as of September 2026. For heavy, report-driven rank tracking it is good value and you should stay. For a few keywords scanned weekly on a flat, predictable bill, start Local Rank Tracker free with 5 keywords for your first month.
