## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched. One caveat up front: this niche is flooded with AI-generated "best of 2026" listicles and vendor-written comparison pages (several of the top results are a vendor ranking itself #1, or sites like `recensio-ai.lovable.app` and a `duckdns.org` demo host). I've leaned on what's actually verifiable and on the established players rather than those rankings.

> ## What I'd actually recommend, in order
> 
> **1. GatherUp - the default pick for most agencies.**
> Built agency-first rather than retrofitted: white-label dashboards, white-label domains and review widgets, per-location pricing, multi-client management from one login. This is the one I'd shortlist first if your clients are local/multi-location SMBs. Listed pricing is confusing across aggregators (Capterra shows a ~$25/mo multi-location or agency tier alongside a $99/mo single-location plan) - treat those as per-location/entry figures and get a real quote.

> **2. Grade.us - best if the review funnel is the product you're selling.**
> Cheap per-location, fully white-labeled funnels (
