## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My actual picks, in order
> 
> **1. GatherUp** - my default recommendation for a local SEO / digital agency. It was built with agency roots and prices on an agency tier model: roughly $60/location/month at 5-10 locations dropping to ~$25/location at 101+, so your margin improves as your client book grows. White-label, and in G2's head-to-head against Grade.us reviewers found it easier to use, set up, and administer. ([GatherUp agency pricing](https://gatherup.com/?p=15419), [G2 comparison](https://www.g2.com/compare/gatherup-vs-grade-us))
> 
> **2. Grade.us** - pick this over GatherUp if your core product is specifically "review generation as a service." Its white-label review funnels and multi-client agency dashboard are the thing it's designed around, and it's consistently the tool named for agencies needing branded funnels. Starts around $99/mo. ([Grade.us](https://www.grade.us/home/?p=816), [G2 pricing](https://g2.com/products/grade-us/pricing))
> 
> **3. Birdeye** - the one to use when your clients are substantial multi-location or franchise businesses and reviews are only part of the ask. It bundles review collection, responses, listings, messaging, surveys and multi-location reportin
