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.
On Moz Local, one location on Preferred is $30 (verified 2026-10-27) a month, or $299 (verified 2026-10-27) for the year when billed annually. Lite alone is $20 (verified 2026-10-27) a month.
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.
On Moz Local, ten locations need ten subscriptions: $200 (verified 2026-10-27) a month on Lite, $300 (verified 2026-10-27) on Preferred and $400 (verified 2026-10-27) on Elite, or $2,990 (verified 2026-10-27) a year on Preferred billed annually.

MCP
