Locationes vs GatherUp
Short answer. GatherUp is review collection and monitoring: requests by email and SMS, monitoring across 100+ sites, review widgets and reporting. One location is $99 a month billed annually; two to ten locations are from $60 per location. Locationes is a Google Business Profile operations tool at $10.00–$12 per location. GatherUp asks customers for reviews and shows what arrived; Locationes fixes the profile and answers what arrived. The overlap is the review screen; the products start from opposite ends of the same problem.

Locationes vs GatherUp
When Locationes is the better fit
- You manage profiles, not campaigns. GatherUp's centre is asking for reviews. Locationes does not send review invitations; it edits hours, services, categories and photos and scores what is missing.
- You need a removal record. Every review is archived and flagged when Google deletes it, with removal rate by star rating. We could not confirm an equivalent archive in GatherUp's public material.
- You report on search, not only on reviews. Impressions, interactions, keyword performance and rank per location sit beside the review reports.
- The bill must not jump at the eleventh store. GatherUp's published per-location rate stops at ten; beyond that the price is quoted. Locationes stays a published multiplication to 500.
When GatherUp is the better fit
- Generating reviews is the whole point. Multi-step email and SMS request campaigns, with reminders and routing by employee, are what the product does.
- You need coverage beyond Google. Monitoring 100+ review sites matters if your category lives on industry platforms as well as Google.
- You want review widgets on the site. Displaying recent reviews as social proof is built in; Locationes has no widget.
- You are one location. At $99 a month for a single site, with no onboarding project, it is a simple purchase — against our $6 for a narrower job.
What 23 locations cost
| Locationes | GatherUp | |
|---|---|---|
| Unit | $10.00 per location / month (11–50 band) | $99 first location; $60 per location for 2–10 |
| 23 locations | $230 / month | Quoted — the published band ends at 10 |
| Indicative | $1,518 / year | $60 × 23 = $1,380 / month at the top published per-location rate |
| Certainty | Published | The arithmetic is ours; the band does not extend to 23 |
Read from GatherUp's published pricing in November 2026. Annual billing is the basis for the per-location rate; monthly billing is higher. Because the published band stops at ten locations, the 23-location figure is an illustration, not a quote.
FAQ
Is GatherUp cheaper than Locationes?
No. One location is $99 a month against $6; at 23 locations the published per-location rate implies about $1,380 a month against $230. Neither figure covers the other's work.
Does Locationes send review requests?
No. It manages the profiles and the reviews that arrive on them. SMS and email review campaigns are outside the product — this page would be wrong to imply otherwise.
Can we use both?
Commonly. GatherUp to ask for reviews and monitor other sites; Locationes for profile fixes, the reply queue and the deleted-review record.
