What Local Viking does well
Local Viking operates as a full "Google Business Profile Command Center." Their platform excels at bulk management: allowing you to schedule posts across multiple locations simultaneously, track review responses, and automate image geotagging. Geo-grids are just one piece of their very large, multifaceted SaaS puzzle.
Where GeckoGrid is different
GeckoGrid is a lightweight, hyper-focused desktop application built specifically for visibility analysis. While Local Viking limits your capabilities based on the size of your monthly subscription—capping the number of locations you can track and the number of GeoGrid credits you can spend—GeckoGrid completely removes the meter.
With GeckoGrid, you aren't paying for heavy cloud-computing servers or massive database storage. You install it natively on your Mac or PC, and your local IP handles the work. This means absolute privacy, zero SaaS subscription "tiers" to worry about upgrading into, and pure unlimited grid generation.
The True ROI Comparison
Local Viking's "Starter" tier runs **$59 per month**, capping you at just 10 locations and around 8,100 grid credits. To reach white-label reporting or up to 20 locations, you are forced into their $99/mo plan. An agency actively monitoring weekly movement across 15 clients will quickly burn through those credits, driving their monthly cost up near $150 or $200.
GeckoGrid costs $99. Once.
For the price of a single month on Local Viking's Pro tier, you
get GeckoGrid forever. You can track 5 clients, or 500 clients—the
price remains exactly the same. No confusing keyword credit systems.
No monthly location upgrade walls.
