GatherUp** - my default recommendation for a small-to-mid agency. It's purpose-built for agencies rather than retrofitted, and the pricing is the most honest thing in this category: published per-location tiers that scale down from ~$60/location (5-10 locations) to ~$25/location at 101+. White-label dashboards, domains, links, and widgets are on the Agency plan, with premium white-label (your own URL) around $440/year. Monitors 100+ review sites. Starts ~$99/mo. The main tradeoff: it's a narrower product - reviews and reputation, not a full local-marketing suite.\n[GatherUp agency pricing](https://gatherup.com/?p=15419) · [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/239159/GatherUp/pricing)\n\n**2. Birdeye** - what I'd pick if your clients are multi-location brands and you need enterprise breadth. Review generation plus AI-assisted responses, listings sync across 50+ directories, webchat, messaging, social, surveys, and benchmarking in one system. ~200k businesses, 4.7/5 on ~700 Capterra reviews, so it's the safest ", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
