Plans & pricing

Pricing built for locally owned businesses

Stay visible, share updates, and talk with your customers in real time — without competing against big chains for attention. Pick the plan that fits where your business is today, and grow into the next one when you're ready.

The only reason we charge anything is so we never have to sell you out. BackLocal does not make money by selling, renting, or leasing your information — not yours, and not your customers'. Your subscription is what keeps the lights on, so your data stays yours. Full stop.

Pricing may vary. AI Assist is priced on top of the underlying AI-provider costs, which move with the market. The price shown is the current price; if it changes we will tell you in advance and the new price applies from your next renewal, exactly like a plan price change (see Terms, Article 3). The profile draft offered at sign-up is included with every plan and is not part of this add-on.

Every plan includes

Verified local-business identity
Listing in the BackLocal mobile app
Photo gallery & services menu
Secure account & data
Email support

Questions, answered

Can I change plans later?

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade at any time from your management dashboard — changes take effect on your next billing cycle, and you keep all of your listing data.

What counts as a “location” on the Growth plan?

Each verified business address registered to your account is one location. Growth covers 3–5 locations — pick your count on the Growth card and the price updates: $129.99/mo for 3, $139.99 for 4, $149.99 for 5.

What does “near-real-time messaging” mean?

Customers can message your business directly through BackLocal and get a fast reply — Core and above also support simple automated replies so no message goes unanswered.

Do I need to be an independent local business?

BackLocal is built for locally owned, independent businesses. Starter requires a verified local independent with a single location — that verification is part of what keeps the platform free of big-chain noise.

What is the AI Assist add-on, and why can its price change?

AI Assist is an optional add-on for Core and Growth (per business) that drafts deals for you, checks your listed hours against your website weekly, and keeps your menu or services in sync with your website — always with your approval before anything publishes. Because it runs on a third-party AI provider whose costs move with the market, its price can change; we'll always tell you in advance and the new price applies from your next renewal. You can drop the add-on at any time.

How does annual billing work?

Switch the toggle to Annual to pay for ten months and get two free. You can start monthly and move to annual whenever it makes sense for your business.
