11 best Grade.us alternatives for agencies
Grade.us is built for agencies and it is good at that. Two things send people looking. The price is $99 for 1 location and $60 a location after, and their review funnel can show a different page to happy and unhappy customers. Their own guidance tells you to turn that off, which tells you something.
Written by the team at FiveStariz. We make 1 of the 11 products below, so read our entry with that in mind. Every price was read on that company's own website on 18 October 2026.

"Review filtering" means asking a customer how it went before showing the review buttons. Google's policy forbids it. "Not explained" means the vendor hints at a filter and never describes it.
What sends people looking past Grade.us
Each of these came from their own pages, not from our opinion.
Gating ships in the box
Their own marketing describes guiding unhappy customers "to a service recovery form so you can address their poor experience internally". It is optional, and it is still in the product.
$60 a location for client work
At 20 client locations that is $1,200 a month before you add your own margin.
No refunds
Their page says plainly that refunds are not offered.
The agency price is a quote
The only figure anywhere is inside their own calculator, and that is an input rather than a rate.
11 alternatives, in order
1. FiveStariz (our product)
$19 a month, 1 location. A free plan that sends email requests, plus a trial of everything.
Ours, and the agency case is the price: $5 a location from 10 with your own brand on it. Twenty client locations is $100 a month. We are honest about the gap though. They have client dashboards, seats and drip sequences, and we do not.
2. GatherUp
$99 a month, then $60 a location. 14 day trial.
The same published price card, without the gating feature. If you want to stay in this tier but not ship a gate to clients, this is the swap.
3. Vendasta
$99 a month minimum spend. 14 day trial.
Built for resale from the ground up, with white label dashboards and billing your own clients. Minimum spend of $99 a month on the entry tier, and 1 year contracts above it.
4. ReviewKite
$49 a month, 5 locations. 14 day trial.
$49 a month for 5 locations with white labelling included. Cheap per client if the feature set is enough.
5. Reviewgrower
$37 a month, free plan available. A real free plan, no texts on it.
Their agency plan is $199 a month with white label, unlimited sends and 20 locations, then $10 for each extra location.
6. LocalClarity
About $16 a location a month. A trial with no length published.
White label domains on the agency tier and review reading across 50 or more sources at roughly $16 a location. No request sending.
7. Synup
$49 a month, 1 location. 14 day trial of the Solo plan.
An agency command centre and client portal, with white label. $499 a month covers 25 locations, which is about $20 each.
8. Merchynt
$50 a Google profile a month. 3 day trial.
A flat $100 a month for their agency program, rather than a per client rate. Their FAQ also states plainly that they do not gate.
9. Shout About Us
$0.50 to $3.00 a location a month, plus usage. 14 day trial with credits.
Not an app, and worth knowing about anyway. It is an API covering 80 or more review sites at $0.50 to $3.00 a location, for an agency that wants to build its own front end.
10. Moz Local
$16 a month, paid yearly. No trial on any tier.
Agency permissions from the Preferred plan, and listings across 90 or more directories. $16 a month paid yearly.
11. ReputationStacker
$63 a location a month, paid yearly. 14 day trial.
Per location pricing from $63, which is above Grade.us for small numbers. Here because the plan ladder is simple and published.
How we picked these
- We read the price on each company's own website on 18 October 2026 and wrote down the date. Nothing came from a blog or a comparison article.
- Where a company publishes no price, the list says so instead of repeating a figure from somewhere else.
- We checked each one for review filtering, and we quote the vendor's own words rather than guessing.
- We left in the tools that beat us, and said what they do better.
- We put our own product first and labelled it, because hiding that would make this an advert.

Grade.us alternatives, answered
How much does Grade.us cost?
$99 a month for 1 location and $60 a month per location above that, read on their plans page on 18 October 2026. White Label Premium is $440 a year and the basic white label is included. Their page states that refunds are not offered. The agency tier is quote only.
Does Grade.us do review gating?
Yes, as a setting. Their own words describe showing a personalised message to customers who leave a positive or a negative rating, and sending unhappy ones to a service recovery form. Their own guidance recommends setting the threshold so every customer can post publicly.
What is the best white label review tool for agencies?
It depends on your client count. Under 10 locations, Grade.us and GatherUp are easier to use than their price suggests. Above 10, per location cost decides it: ours is $5, Reviewgrower is $10 above 20 locations, Synup works out near $20, and Grade.us stays at $60.
Can I resell review software under my own brand?
Yes, and 3 routes exist. White label a product like ours or Grade.us and keep the client relationship. Resell through a wholesale platform like Vendasta. Or build your own front end on an API like Shout About Us. The first is simplest, the last is the cheapest at scale.
