The Best Closeby Alternatives
Published
Closeby is hard to beat on price: 10,000 locations for $19.99 a month with maps included, and a free plan for five. People usually start looking for an alternative when they need something it doesn't do, such as Google Maps, several languages, an API, Excel imports or faster support.
Quick picks
- Best overallStoreLocatorWidgetsAlso includes map usage, and adds Google Maps, multi-language support, Excel import and an API.
- Best for supportStockistRated 5.0 from 353 Shopify reviews, largely for its support.

- Best for Shopify store pagesStoreifyStore detail pages, 8 layouts and a dealer form from $8.99.
If Closeby covers what you need, its price makes it an easy choice, as our Closeby review explains. These are the limits that send people elsewhere:
- No Google Maps. Closeby uses its own maps built on OpenStreetMap data, or Mapbox styles with your own token. There's no Google Maps option.
- One language per map. You can reword the interface text by hand, but Closeby's help centre says it doesn't support a complete language configuration.
- Strict imports. Imports are CSV only and must match Closeby's template exactly, with no column mapping. Large imports of around 5,000 rows can time out, and Google Sheets sync is limited to 2,500 locations.
- No API or location pages. There's no public API, and location details open in a panel inside the widget.
- Slow support at times. Support is by email from a small team. One reviewer received an auto-reply quoting a typical response time of 5 business days.
- Out-of-date help pages. Several help articles still describe older pricing and a Mapbox setup that's no longer needed.

StoreLocatorWidgets is the only other locator here that includes map usage, and it lets you choose Google Maps as well. It adds what Closeby lacks: a language editor, Excel import with column mapping and duplicate detection, and APIs. It costs more: $39 for 1,000 locations and $79 for 10,000, against Closeby's $19.99.
The StoreLocatorWidgets locator, from our review
StoreLocatorWidgets includes map usage in the price. You can use Google Maps, Mapbox or OpenStreetMap without setting up your own Google billing account, so there's no separate bill from a map provider if your locator gets busy.
Plans run from $19 a month for 100 locations to $39 for 1,000, $79 for 10,000 and $299 for 100,000. The $39 Premium plan adds Google Sheets and Airtable sync, multi-language support, white labelling and search analytics. Imports accept CSV and Excel files with column mapping and duplicate detection. There are checkbox, dropdown and hidden filters, location submission forms, ratings and reviews, and APIs for managing and searching locations. It installs as a Shopify app or WordPress plugin and works on Wix, Squarespace, Webflow and any HTML page. In our review it earned our top rating.
Pros
- Map usage included, with no Google billing account to set up
- Sheets sync, multi-language and analytics from $39 for 1,000 locations
- CSV and Excel import with duplicate detection
- Free plan for a single location and a 14-day full-feature trial

Stockist costs about the same as Closeby for small lists and offers Google Maps, up to 4 languages and CSV imports with column mapping. You'll need your own map key, and standard plans stop at 2,000 locations.
Stockist's demo locator

Storepoint costs more than Closeby but brings APIs, multi-language support and integrations, with unlimited locations for $99.
A Storepoint locator, from our review
Storepoint stands out for integrations. It syncs with the Webflow CMS, Airtable, HubSpot and Zapier, and its Google Sheets sync runs daily on the Pro plan and every 5 minutes on Business. It has location management, query and JavaScript APIs.
Plans are $25 for 200 locations, $49 for 2,000 with multi-language support and analytics, and $99 for unlimited locations. You connect your own Google Maps or Mapbox account. In our 2021 review we liked its filter management and found problems with imports and analytics.
Pros
- Unlimited locations for $99
- Webflow CMS, Airtable, HubSpot and Zapier integrations
- Sheets sync every 5 minutes on Business
Cons
- Needs your own Google Maps or Mapbox account
- Multi-language and analytics need the $49 Pro plan

Storemapper matches Closeby's 10,000-location limit on its $69.99 plan and adds Google Maps and multi-language support, at a much higher price.
The Storemapper locator, from our review
Storemapper has been running since 2013 and has setup guides for more than 18 website platforms. Its Shopify app is rated 4.9 from 96 reviews.
Plans are $24.99 for 100 locations, $49.99 for 1,000, $69.99 for 10,000 and $199.99 for unlimited. Google Drive sync, multi-language support and analytics are on the $69.99 Premium plan. You supply your own Google Maps or Mapbox key. Our review found its filtering and styling options limited.
Pros
- Long track record and guides for 18+ platforms
- 10,000 locations on the $69.99 plan
- Good Shopify rating (4.9 from 96 reviews)
Cons
- Sync, multi-language and analytics need the $69.99 plan
- Needs your own Google Maps or Mapbox key
- Prices have risen at every level since 2020
- Choose StoreLocatorWidgets if you want map usage included plus Google Maps, languages, Excel import or an API.
- Choose Stockist if support quality is your top priority and you have under 2,000 locations.
- Choose Storepoint if you need APIs or Webflow, Airtable, HubSpot or Zapier.
- Choose Storeify if you're on Shopify only and want store detail pages.
- Choose Storemapper if you want a long-established locator with Google Maps.
If you have a single-language site, are happy with Closeby's maps and don't need an API, staying with Closeby will cost you less than any of these.
- Download your locations. In Closeby, "Download your CSV template" exports your current locations.
- Import the file into your new locator during its trial. Closeby stores categories as a comma-separated column, so map that column to tags or filters.
- Set up a map key if your new locator needs one. Closeby didn't require one, so this may be new to you. Locators that include map usage skip this step.
- Recreate your theme, pins and opening hours, then swap the embed code on the same page URL and test.
How much does Closeby cost?
Closeby is free for up to 5 locations. Paid plans are $9.99 a month for 100 locations and $19.99 a month for 10,000, or $99.99 and $199.99 a year.
Does Closeby use Google Maps?
No. Closeby's included maps are its own, built on OpenStreetMap data, and it also supports Mapbox styles with your own Mapbox token. For Google Maps you'd need an alternative such as StoreLocatorWidgets, Stockist or Storemapper.
Which Closeby alternatives also include map costs?
StoreLocatorWidgets includes map usage in its plans. The others here need your own Google Maps or Mapbox key.
Does Closeby support multiple languages?
Only partly. You can change the place-name language on its own maps and reword the interface text by hand, but each map has one set of text.
