Google review tools

MapLift review

A very cheap Google review analysis and request tool, priced from about $4 a month, with a free tier.

Written by the team at FiveStariz, who sell a competing product. Every number here was read on maplift.app on 18 October 2026. We say where they beat us.

The short answer. The cheapest thing on this entire list, and it knows its limits. It analyses your Google reviews, drafts replies and gives you review links and QR codes. There is no campaign engine, so nobody is chased. For a few dollars a month that is a fair trade.
PriceFrom $4 a month
Best forA small business that wants to understand its Google reviews and print a QR poster for almost nothing.
Not forA business that needs customers chased by text until they leave a review.

Their own wording is from $4 a month outside India, or 999 rupees for 3 months plus tax in India. There is also a free tier. Prices change, so check maplift.app before you decide.

What MapLift does well

  • From $4 a month is the lowest real price we found anywhere in this market.
  • A free tier with monthly renewal and no card.
  • Review links and QR codes take the customer straight to Google, with nothing in front.
  • Dual pricing for India and elsewhere, with tax shown before payment.
  • They publish a what is new page, and are open that live rank tracking is not currently available.

Where it falls short

  • There is no sending engine, so no texts, no emails and no reminders.
  • The free tier is 2 analyses a month and 50 reviews per business.
  • Google only.
  • The headline price is a starting point. The full plan table sits on a separate pricing page.
  • Everything is metered, so a busy month costs more.

Questions

MapLift, answered

How much is MapLift?

Their own wording is from $4 a month in dollars outside India. In India it is 999 rupees for 3 months plus tax, with one off payments for 3, 6 or 12 months. There is a free tier with 2 analyses, 3 review templates and 3 reply suggestions a month. We read these on 18 October 2026.

Does MapLift send review requests?

Not as a campaign. It gives you review links and QR codes that take a customer to Google, and it analyses the reviews you already have. There is no text or email sending and no reminders, so nobody gets chased.

Is MapLift a FiveStariz alternative?

For analysis and a QR poster, yes, and at a fraction of the price. For the asking itself, no, because there is nothing to send a text with. If your problem is that nobody asks, a $4 analysis tool will not fix it. If you just want to understand your reviews, start there.

Want the asking done for less?

FiveStariz is $19 a month, the price is on the page, and there is no setup fee.
