  • Local SEO ranking and keyword auditor, SSO, API access
  • Onboarding, unlimited training, dedicated account executive
  • Flat, quota-bundled plans: each tier bundles brands, users, and social profiles, with caps you can grow into (Standard runs 1 user and 15 profiles, up to 2 and 20; Professional 5 users and 25 profiles, up to 10 and 40). Enterprise is custom.
  • There's no free plan, only a 14-day trial.
  • Annual billing is cheaper than monthly, but the page headlines the monthly rates ($149 and $349) and didn't show a per-month annual figure when checked.
  • Several things sit on top as add-ons or separate tools: Brand Monitoring and Social Listening (an add-on on Professional, included on Enterprise), an AI Blog Creation agent (add-on on every plan), and a standalone Local SEO Automation tool at $300 a month.
  • eClincher revamped its lineup; the current plans are Standard, Professional, and Enterprise, replacing an older Basic / Premier / Agency structure, so older listings ($65 / $175 / $425) are out of date.
  • Prices are USD, read off the live pricing page (rendered twice); aggregator listings lag the revamp.
