Locationes vs Grade.us
Short answer. Grade.us is a white-label review funnel for agencies and consultants: review requests by email, landing pages, widgets and reports under the reseller's brand, priced per seat or location from $60 a month with a three-seat minimum on the published plan. Locationes is a Google Business Profile operations tool at $10.00–$12 per location. Grade.us manufactures review flow and resale; Locationes runs the profile behind the reviews. One is a funnel, the other is an operations desk.

Locationes vs Grade.us
When Locationes is the better fit
- Profiles, not funnels. Grade.us builds review campaigns and landing pages; it does not edit hours, services, categories or photos, and does not score completeness.
- You want to know what Google removed. Every review is archived and flagged on deletion, with removal rate by star rating. That report is not in Grade.us' published scope.
- The minimum is one. A single location is $12 a month. Grade.us' published plan starts at three seats — a real constraint for a small operator.
- You need visibility reporting. Keyword performance, impressions, interactions and rank per location, in the same date range as the review reports.
When Grade.us is the better fit
- You resell review management. White-label landing pages, widgets, forms and reports are the product, and it is built for consultants managing several clients.
- You want a funnel, not a queue. Drip campaigns, review gating and landing pages move a customer from a service visit to a published review; Locationes has no campaign engine.
- Text messaging is available as an add-on. SMS requests are priced separately but present; Locationes has no SMS at all.
- You manage a handful of clients. Three seats for $180 a month is an easy entry for a consultant with two or three accounts.
What 23 locations cost
| Locationes | Grade.us | |
|---|---|---|
| Unit | $10.00 per location / month (11–50 band) | $60 per seat/location/month on the published plan |
| 23 locations | $230 / month | $1,380 / month at the published seat rate |
| Year | $1,518 | $16,560 |
| Entry | $6 for one location | $180 for the three-seat minimum |
Read from the vendor's published plan card (as listed on G2) and third-party plan summaries in November 2026. The per-seat rate is the figure the vendor publishes; the agency tier starting at $400 is a third-party report and should be confirmed before budgeting.
FAQ
Is Grade.us a Google Business Profile tool?
No. It is review management and review generation, with white-label reporting. Bulk profile editing, completeness scoring and rank tracking are outside its published scope.
Why is Grade.us so much more per location?
Because it is not sold as profile management. The $60 buys campaign tooling, white-label pages and resale rights — costs that exist whether or not you have 23 locations.
Can we use both?
Yes. Grade.us for campaigns and white-label client reporting; Locationes for the profiles, the reply queue and the deletion record.
