How much does OpenGMB cost, with two examples?
OpenGMB is $10 a month per account, and the $10 is usage credit. Google calls are free, with a fair-use limit. AI drafts and rank scans use the credit, both at our cost plus 28%. If the credit runs out, only AI drafts and rank scans pause. A typical reply draft is about $0.0004. That is an estimate, not a price: each draft is charged at its metered cost plus 28%. The usage numbers below are our own assumptions, not averages.
Owner, 1 location
A month with no AI drafts and no rank scans costs the flat $10. A typical month adds 30 AI drafts and 4 rank scans on a 5x5 grid. That uses about $0.09 of the $10, so the bill is $10.
GMB Everywhere has a free plan, and Power User is $30 (verified 2026-10-25) a month, or $15 (verified 2026-10-25) a month billed yearly, for one user licence.
Agency, 10 locations
A month with no AI drafts and no rank scans costs the flat $10. A typical month adds 150 AI drafts and 20 rank scans on a 7x7 grid. That uses about $0.81 of the $10, so the bill is $10.
One Power User licence works with unlimited GBP listings (verified 2026-10-25), so ten locations fit one licence. But the licence is per user and cannot be shared (verified 2026-10-25), so each person on your team needs their own. bulk licensing available on request (verified 2026-10-25).

We only list reasons that GMB Everywhere's own pages support.

- Posts are drafts. An AI GBP Post Generator drafts posts. The page does not describe scheduling or publishing. (verified 2026-10-25)
- The free plan has small caps, and the page words them two ways: 5 views per month, combined across Audits, Teleport and AI tools (verified 2026-10-25), and 5 total views per user, not per month (Category Finder, Local Scan, Website Audit, Image Generator, AI Visibility Checker) (verified 2026-10-25).

What is different about OpenGMB?
Approval first
Posts and profile edits need approval, and so do replies unless the owner turns on auto-approve for 4- or 5-star reviews. Rules such as U7.url and PR.description-length check the text first, and the audit log records who approved.
MCP
Connect Claude or any MCP client to https://opengmb.synectus.com/mcp. It is included on the $10 plan. A read only token cannot change anything. A read and write token acts with its owner's rights inside OpenGMB, but a person approves anything that reaches Google, in the app.
One price per account
$10 a month, and the $10 is usage credit for AI drafts and rank scans, both at real cost plus 28%. Ten locations do not cost ten times as much. Google calls are free, with a fair-use limit.
Open-source core
Read the code of the community edition, or self-host it with one owner login and your own keys. The hosted plan adds teams, a client portal and billing. Licence: MIT. Repo: https://github.com/synectus/OpenGMB.
