Local Falcon charges in credits, one for every point on the map. Kerbrank charges one monthly price in pounds, and weekly scans are part of it. If you scan now and then, credits can make sense. If you want the same maps every week, a flat price is easier to live with.

Local Falcon's column comes from its own pricing and product pages. Where it does more, we've marked it. Where its pages didn't tell us, we say so rather than guess.

This is simple arithmetic from Local Falcon's own rule of one credit per map point. We haven't priced the credits here, because rates change. Check theirs.
Both draw a grid of Google Maps rankings. The difference is mostly how you pay for it and what comes with the map.
You don't have to switch anything to find out. The trial is 14 days and doesn't need a card.
Set up the same business and the same search. Expect small differences: any two tools search from different points at different times, and Google's results move.
Kerbrank's maps can be a circle, a square or a shape you draw, so you can cover the area you actually serve and skip the rest.
If you sometimes need a 21 × 21 map, a few Local Falcon credits for those jobs and Kerbrank for the weekly tracking can sit side by side.

Credits make you ration scans and keep an eye on a balance. Kerbrank charges one flat monthly price in pounds for a set number of businesses and searches, and weekly scans are included.
It covers more points, which helps across a very large area or when you want finer detail. Local Falcon offers 21 × 21 and our largest is 15 × 15, or 225 points. For a business serving one town, drawing the map around the area you actually serve often matters more than the point count.
