Kerbrank vs Local Falcon

A Local Falcon alternative with flat UK pricing.

Local Falcon charges in credits, one for every point on the map. Kerbrank charges one flat price in pounds, monthly or yearly, 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.

Credits in practice

One credit per point adds up quickly.

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.

Choosing honestly

Which one suits you?

Both draw a grid of Google Maps rankings. The difference is mostly how you pay for it and what comes with the map.

When Local Falcon is the better choice

You need bigger grids, or you only scan now and then.

You need larger maps. Local Falcon goes up to 21 × 21, which is 441 points. Our largest is 15 × 15, which is 225.
You need Apple Maps, or more AI assistants. Local Falcon also tracks Apple Maps, and checks Gemini and Grok as well as ChatGPT and Google's AI answers. Kerbrank checks Google Maps and ChatGPT.
You scan occasionally. Pay-as-you-go credits suit a one-off check, such as sizing up a prospect, better than a monthly plan does.
You want an established tool. Local Falcon has a longer track record. Kerbrank is new.
You work mostly outside the UK, or you're happy paying in US dollars.

When Kerbrank fits better

You want the same maps every week, on a known bill.

You scan every week. Weekly scans are in the price, so you never ration them or watch a balance.
You want to know the bill in advance. One flat monthly price in pounds, from £29.
You want a to-do list as well as a map. Plain-English jobs, and the next scan checks each fix is still in place.
You're on the coast. Spots with no postcode nearby, usually sea, a harbour or open land, are left out, so they can't drag a score down.
You send reports to clients. Your name and colours on every report from £59, as a link or a PDF.

Start alongside

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.

Draw the same area

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.

Keep what you need

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.

Why doesn't Kerbrank use credits?

Credits make you ration scans and keep an eye on a balance. Kerbrank charges one flat price in pounds, monthly or yearly, for a set number of businesses and searches, and weekly scans are included.

Is a 21 × 21 grid better than 15 × 15?

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.

Does Kerbrank check ChatGPT too?

Yes, on every plan. Kerbrank asks ChatGPT the questions your customers ask, several times each, and counts how often you're named and who is named instead. Every plan asks 8 to 12 questions per business, three times each.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Your plan stays active until the end of the month, or the year, you've paid for and isn't renewed after that. Apart from the 30-day money-back promise on your first payment, we don't refund part of a period.

Can I try Kerbrank before I pay?

Yes. Every account starts with a 14-day free trial and no card is needed. The trial runs on the Solo plan, one business at a time, and scans and reports work as normal. Nothing is charged when it ends.

Weekly maps, one flat price.

Add your business and pick your searches. We show your estimated scan time before you start. Timing depends on your map, searches and Google’s queue. Fourteen days free, and you don't need a card.
