Their Pro plan is genuinely better value per credit, and this page says so out loud. What Geogrid does differently is refuse to charge you for grid points it did not have to look up — cached nodes, ocean, dead quadrants. A 13×13 rescan bills 98 points, not 169.
01 — Read this first
They are cheaper per credit, by roughly three to one. They track Apple Maps and visibility across eight AI assistants. They analyse reviews, watch your Google Business Profile for unauthorised edits, research keywords, and automate workflows across dozens of connected tools. If you want one subscription to cover all of local SEO, that is their product and Geogrid does not replace it.
Geogrid is narrower on purpose: the grid, the API around it, and an engine that treats every credit as something it has to justify.
02 — The mechanism
Both tools charge one credit per grid point. The difference is how many points get charged. Across every scan Geogrid has run in production, 31% of grid nodes were resolved without spending a credit.
A 13×13 grid has 169 points. Both tools price one credit per point.
Same keyword, same location, inside 72 hours: the node is reused and never billed.
Ocean, lake, alpine and uninhabited nodes are detected and dropped before any lookup.
Nine probe points map the shape of the result first. Quadrants with no presence are filled in without further lookups.
Median across the 13×13 scans run in production. Not a projection.
Median of the 13×13 scans run on production infrastructure. Scans whose terrain filter removed most of the grid are excluded from the median.
