The Best Stockist Alternatives
Published
Stockist is one of the best-liked store locators around, with a 5.0 rating from 353 Shopify reviews and support that customers praise by name. So why look elsewhere? Usually because of what sits on its higher plans, the need to bring your own map key, or a store list that has outgrown 2,000 locations.
We compared six Stockist alternatives on price, location limits, map costs, data sync, languages and analytics.
Quick picks
- Best overallStoreLocatorWidgetsMap usage included, Google Sheets sync with duplicate detection, an API, and plans up to 100,000 locations.
- Best budget pickCloseby10,000 locations for $19.99 with maps and Sheets sync included.
- Best for integrationsStorepointWebflow, Airtable, HubSpot and Zapier, with sync every 5 minutes on its top plan.
- Best for Shopify on a budgetStoreifyA free plan, 8 layouts and store pages from $8.99.
Stockist does the basics very well, and if it fits your needs there's little reason to leave. Our Stockist review covers it in detail. The common reasons to compare are:
- Features on higher plans. The $10 Basic plan has no search analytics, map themes or Google Sheets sync, and it shows a "powered by" link. Analytics and themes start at $20, and Sheets sync and link removal need the $40 Premium plan.
- Once-a-day sync. Google Sheets sync checks your sheet once a day (with a manual "Sync now" button), and a sync can create duplicates because there's no duplicate detection.
- Your own map key. You need a Google Maps or Mapbox account. Stockist says most customers stay inside the free allowances, but any overage is billed to you.
- The 2,000-location ceiling. Standard plans stop at 2,000 locations. Larger lists need a custom quote.
- Limited developer options. There's no public API documentation, direct accounts have a single login, and several features (store-name search, Google Tag Manager events, category-specific maps) have to be switched on by support.
Price is the only recurring complaint in Stockist's reviews. One Shopify reviewer wrote: "Way, way, way to pricey for what you get."

Compared with Stockist, the main differences are map costs and scale. Stockist's $40 plan covers 2,000 locations with your own map key; StoreLocatorWidgets' $39 plan covers 1,000 with maps included, and its $79 plan covers 10,000. It detects duplicates on imports and syncs, which Stockist doesn't, and it has a documented API.
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
2. Closeby

Closeby undercuts Stockist at every size: its $19.99 plan covers 10,000 locations, five times Stockist's top standard plan, with maps and Sheets sync included. You give up Stockist's hands-on support and multi-language options.
A Closeby locator on a customer's store
Closeby is the cheapest option for larger lists: $9.99 a month for 100 locations and $19.99 for 10,000, with every feature on both, plus a free plan for 5 locations. Its own maps are included with no API key or per-view fee.
It offers 22 themes, category filters, Google Sheets sync (up to 2,500 locations) and Google Analytics events. The trade-offs: imports are CSV only and must match its template exactly, each map has one language, there's no API, and support is email only from a small team.
Pros
- 10,000 locations for $19.99, all features included
- Maps included, no API key needed
- Free plan for up to 5 locations
Cons
- No Google Maps option and no API

Storepoint costs more than Stockist at the low end ($25 against $10), but its $99 plan has unlimited locations and it has the APIs and integrations Stockist lacks.
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 is the closest like-for-like to Stockist: a simple locator that uses your own map key. It costs more at each size, but its $69.99 plan reaches 10,000 locations.
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

- Prices have risen at every level since 2020

StoreRocket costs more than Stockist, but adds Excel import, a REST API and lead capture on its top plan, which reaches 20,000 locations.
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
6. Storeify

- Paid plans from

- Free plan / trial
- Yes (1 location) · 14 days
- Map providers
- Google Maps
Storeify is a little cheaper than Stockist and adds store detail pages and a dealer registration form, but it only works on Shopify and needs a Google billing account.
Storeify's default locator on its demo store
Storeify Store Locator is a Shopify-only app rated 4.9 from 207 reviews. It has 8 layouts, store detail pages, a dealer registration form and a free plan for one location.
Paid plans are $8.99 for 100 locations, $19.99 for 1,000 and $39.99 for 5,000. Google Sheets auto-sync starts on the $19.99 plan. It uses Google Maps only, and you need your own Google API key and billing account.
Pros
- Low prices and a free plan
- 8 layouts, store pages and a dealer form
- Strong Shopify rating (4.9 from 207 reviews)
Cons
- Shopify only
- Needs your own Google key and billing account
- No API
- Choose StoreLocatorWidgets if you want maps included, duplicate detection or an API, or you have more than 2,000 locations.
- Choose Closeby if price matters most and Closeby's own maps are fine for you.
- Choose Storepoint if you need Webflow, Airtable, HubSpot or Zapier integration.
- Choose Storemapper if you want a like-for-like locator with a 10,000-location plan.
- Choose StoreRocket if you want lead capture and a REST API.
- Choose Storeify if you're on Shopify only and want store detail pages.
If you have under 2,000 locations, already have a map key and value responsive support above all, Stockist remains a strong choice.
- Export your stores. Stockist includes spreadsheet export on every plan.
- Import the file into your new locator during its free trial, and check the column mapping. Stockist's filters are yes/no columns, so map each one to a tag or category.
- Set up maps. You can reuse your Google Maps or Mapbox key, or skip this if your new locator includes map usage.
- Recreate custom fields, pin icons and colours.
- Swap the embed code on the same page URL, test on desktop and mobile, then cancel Stockist. Its terms allow a refund within 30 days of a subscription payment.
