The Best MetaLocator Alternatives
Published
MetaLocator is one of the most capable locator platforms available, with CRM integrations, lead routing and enterprise security. That power comes with complexity, page-view limits and a price list where many headline features sit on the $199 Scale plan or on Enterprise. If you need a good locator without the enterprise overhead, these alternatives are simpler and usually cheaper.
Quick picks
- Best overallStoreLocatorWidgetsSheets and Airtable sync, multi-language and analytics from $39, with maps included and an API.
- Best for integrationsStorepointAirtable, HubSpot, Zapier and Webflow sync, plus APIs, from $49.

- Best low-cost optionStockistA simple, well-supported locator from $10 a month.
For a large company with location data in Salesforce or Yext, MetaLocator is hard to beat, and our MetaLocator review explains why. Smaller teams tend to run into these issues:
- Features sit high up the price list. Google Drive, Airtable and Salesforce sync, scheduled imports and Zapier start on the $199 Scale plan. The APIs, webhooks, HubSpot, Yext and SFTP connections, heat maps, data export and the 31 included translations are Enterprise only.
- The entry plan is bare. The $19 Essential plan has no custom CSS, custom markers, address autocomplete, lead forms, Google Analytics or live chat.
- Page-view limits. Plans allow 5,000, 25,000 and 50,000 page views a month, and every locator load and every search counts as one. Accounts that stay over the limit can be unpublished after a grace period.
- Complexity. Reviewers praise the depth of customization and mention a learning curve in the same breath.
- Extra costs. Additional admin users, extra domains and SEO location pages are add-ons priced through sales, and annual plans are non-refundable.

The features MetaLocator reserves for Scale and Enterprise are on StoreLocatorWidgets' lower plans: Google Sheets and Airtable sync, multi-language support and search analytics at $39, and location management and search APIs. Maps are included on both. It doesn't offer CRM connectors, lead routing or SSO.
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
Cons
- Click tracking needs the $79 Professional plan
- Multi-language and sync aren't on the $19 entry plan

Storepoint is the closest match for MetaLocator's integrations at a lower price: Airtable, HubSpot and Zapier are available without an Enterprise plan, and its APIs are openly documented.
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
- No free plan
3. StoreRocket
Best for: Businesses whose main reason for MetaLocator is lead capture.

If lead capture is what drew you to MetaLocator, StoreRocket offers a simpler version: it asks visitors for their details when no location is nearby. It doesn't route leads to dealers or connect to a CRM.
The StoreRocket locator, from our review
StoreRocket has a modern locator and a feature most others lack: if a visitor's search finds no location nearby, it can ask for their details so you can follow up. It imports CSV and Excel files on every plan.
Plans are $25 for 100 locations, $39 for 1,000 with analytics, and $69 for 20,000. Google Sheets sync, multi-language support, the REST API and lead capture are all on the $69 Business plan. You connect your own Google Maps or Mapbox key. Our earlier review found store management awkward with large lists.
Pros
- Lead capture when no nearby location is found
- CSV and Excel import on every plan
- 20,000 locations on the Business plan
Cons
- Sheets sync, multi-language and API only on the $69 plan
- Needs your own Google Maps or Mapbox key
- No free plan
4. Storemapper
Best for: Businesses that want an established, simple locator for up to 10,000 locations.

Storemapper is far simpler than MetaLocator, with Google Drive sync, multi-language and analytics together on one $69.99 plan.
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
5. Stockist
Best for: Brands with under 2,000 stockists that value support over features.

- Paid plans from
- $10 (100 locations)
- Free plan / trial

Stockist sits at the opposite end from MetaLocator: few options, quick to set up, and support that customers consistently praise.
Stockist's demo locator
Stockist is built for brands that want a "where to buy" page listing the shops that carry their products. It has the strongest reputation of any store locator on the Shopify App Store: 5.0 from 353 reviews, with support singled out again and again.
Plans are $10 for 100 locations, $20 for 500 and $40 for 2,000, with 20% off for annual billing. Every plan has spreadsheet import, unlimited filters and custom map pins. Search analytics and map themes start on the $20 Plus plan, and Google Sheets sync and removing the "powered by" link need the $40 Premium plan. You supply your own Google Maps or Mapbox key.
Pros
- Excellent support reputation (5.0 from 353 Shopify reviews)
- Low entry price and simple plans
- Unlimited filters with per-filter map pins
Cons
- Needs your own Google Maps or Mapbox key
- Sheets sync only on the $40 plan, and it runs once a day
- Standard plans stop at 2,000 locations
- Choose StoreLocatorWidgets if you want sync, multi-language, analytics and an API on a mid-priced plan with maps included.
- Choose Storepoint if you need Airtable, HubSpot, Zapier or Webflow integration.
- Choose StoreRocket if simple lead capture is your priority.
- Choose Storemapper if you want a simple, long-established locator.
- Choose Stockist if you have a small stockist list and want great support.
If you need Salesforce or Dynamics sync, lead routing to dealers, SSO or a SOC 2 report, MetaLocator is still the right tool; none of these alternatives covers all of that.
- Export your locations from MetaLocator as a CSV file, including categories and any custom fields.
- Import the file into your new locator during its trial and map the columns. Turn MetaLocator categories into tags or filters.
- Replace any scheduled imports. If MetaLocator was pulling data from a CRM, set up Google Sheets, Airtable or API sync in the new locator.
- Rebuild the layout and translations, then swap the embed code on the same page URL.
- Check your billing term. MetaLocator's annual plans are non-refundable, so time the switch for your renewal date.
How much does MetaLocator cost?
MetaLocator costs $19 a month for 100 locations (Essential), $49 for 10,000 (Growth) and $199 for 100,000 (Scale) on monthly billing, or $17, $41 and $167 a month billed annually. Enterprise pricing is by quote. There's a 30-day free trial.
Does MetaLocator limit traffic?
Yes. Its plans allow 5,000, 25,000 and 50,000 page views a month, and each locator load and each search counts as a page view.
Is there a cheaper alternative to MetaLocator with an API?
Yes. StoreLocatorWidgets and Storepoint both publish location APIs on standard plans, and StoreRocket includes a REST API on its $69 plan. MetaLocator's APIs are on its Enterprise plan.
Which MetaLocator alternative is best for small businesses?
For most small businesses we'd pick StoreLocatorWidgets for its included maps and $39 plan with sync and analytics, or Stockist from $10 a month for a simple stockist list.
