Prices confirmed · checked
Regional prices: USD figures were read from the pricing page on 2026-10-30.
The package prices are shown per month for the monthly view; the annual view lists the yearly total ($299.88, $599.88, $1,199.88, $2,399.88), which equals 12 times the monthly price, with a larger credit allotment on Basic, Pro and Premium. Monthly credits expire at the end of each month and annual credits at the end of each year. Extra credits cost $0.05 each and do not expire. Falcon AI analysis costs 25 credits per report; Falcon Agent is included with credit packages; AI Reviews Analysis costs $19 per location. On-demand API access costs $199 a month plus $0.0032 per request. The Terms (last updated February 24, 2026) renew subscriptions automatically and give no refunds for unused credits.

Which plan fits?
Smallest plan whose monthly credits cover your number with 15% spare for regenerations. Arithmetic from the plan table above, not a usage test.
How far does it go?
- One listing, ten keywords, weekly 9x9 scansA 9x9 grid is 81 credits, so ten keywords scanned once a week for four weeks use 3,240 credits. Adding a 25-credit Falcon AI analysis to each of those 40 scans adds 1,000 credits, for 4,240 credits a month. That fits inside the 7,500 credits of the $24.99 Starter package, which works out to about $0.0033 per credit; buying 4,240 credits at the $0.05 pay-as-you-go rate would cost $212. This is arithmetic on listed figures for one listing only: scanning competitors multiplies credits, and unused monthly credits expire.

Key features
| Feature | What it does | Watch out |
|---|---|---|
| Geo-grid rank scans for Google and Apple Maps | The AI visibility page says the same prompt is asked from every grid point, from 9 up to 441, and reports the share of points where the brand is mentioned (Share of AI Voice), how persuasively it is described, the phrases and the sources cited. AI scans use the same credits as map scans. | Run one AI scan and one map scan for the same keyword and compare the two shares before planning a campaign. |
| AI search visibility scans (Share of AI Voice, sentiment, cited sources) | — | |
| Falcon AI analysis of each scan | — | |
| Falcon Agent for Google Business Profile tasks | The agent page says it can reply to reviews, schedule Google Business Profile posts, change listing details and start scans, and that an autonomous mode runs saved instructions on a schedule with per-location switches and an action log. | Keep autonomous mode off for a client listing until you have read the action history from a manual run. |
| Trend, campaign, competitor and location reports | — | |
| MCP server, API, Looker Studio and Zapier integrations | — | |
| A credit is one map pin | Scans are priced by grid size: a 5x5 grid is 25 credits, a 9x9 grid 81, and the largest grid on the pricing page is 21x21. Keywords and locations are unlimited on every package, so cost comes from grid size, scan frequency and how many listings you scan, competitors included. | Pick one listing, one keyword and a 5x5 grid for the first scan and read the credit balance before scheduling anything. |
Is Local Falcon free?
Only as a trial. The pricing page says every account gets 100 free credits at sign-up with no credit card. A credit is one grid point, so a 5×5 scan uses 25 credits and the free credits cover four of them. After that you buy a package or pay $0.05 per extra credit.
How do the prices work?
Packages are credit allotments, not seat plans: Starter at $24.99, Basic at $49.99, Pro at $99.99 and Premium at $199.99 a month, with annual billing available at 12 times the monthly price. Keywords and locations are unlimited, so grid size, scan frequency and competitor scans drive the bill. The pricing table and its FAQ disagree on the Premium credit totals; we show the table and list the difference in the plan notes.
What does the AI part add?
The AI visibility page describes the same grid method for AI answers: the prompt is asked from each point and the tool reports how often the brand is named, how it is described and which sources are cited. Falcon AI analysis of a scan costs 25 credits, and Falcon Agent can act on the listing, such as replying to reviews or scheduling posts, so check what it is allowed to do before turning on autonomous mode.
What about contract terms and data?
The Terms renew subscriptions automatically and give no refunds for unused credits or downgrades. You keep ownership of the data you provide. We found no statement on whether customer data trains AI models, so ask before loading client listings.
How to test it in an afternoon
Proposed evaluation · not performed yet
Sign up for the free credits, run one 5×5 map scan and one AI visibility scan for the same keyword on one listing, and compare the two shares. Then use the usage example to price the grid and frequency you would actually run against the $24.99 Starter package.

How much does Falcon AI cost?

We did not create an account or run a scan, so scan accuracy, report quality and Falcon AI output were not observed. The pages disagree on the list of AI platforms tracked and on Premium credit totals; the AI visibility page, which names four platforms, is used for the feature claim.
