Overview

How we compared them

We looked at the hosted store locators people most often shortlist, plus the main WordPress plugins and enterprise platforms. For each we checked the published price for 100 and 1,000 locations, the largest self-serve plan, whether you need your own Google Maps or Mapbox key, and what's included rather than sold as an add-on.

Map keys matter more than they look. A locator that needs your own Google Maps key means setting up a Google Cloud billing account, securing the key and paying for usage above Google's free allowance. Locators that include maps take that off your plate.

We built Store Locator Widgets, so we've kept to published facts and linked a detailed comparison for each competitor where we have one.

Reviews

Our picks in more detail

Store Locator Widgets (ours)

Ranked first by StoreLocatorReview. ExpressMaps included, up to 100,000 locations, submission form, reviews, analytics, APIs and 24x7 live chat. See pricing.

Stockist

Hugely popular on Shopify (5.0 from 350+ reviews) and very cheap under 2,000 locations, but you manage your own map key. Stockist vs us.

Closeby

The cheapest way to put thousands of locations on a map, with no key needed; lighter on submissions, reviews and APIs. Closeby vs us.

StoreRocket

Modern design and lead capture; reviewers found the admin limited at larger location counts. StoreRocket vs us.

Storepoint

Simple, month-to-month and strong at 100 to 200 locations. Storepoint vs us.

Storemapper

Long established, with self-serve plans up to unlimited locations. Storemapper vs us.

MetaLocator

Very configurable with deep integrations, but more to learn and several paid add-ons. MetaLocator vs us.

Bullseye, Woosmap and Yext

Built for manufacturers, developer teams and enterprises. See Bullseye, Woosmap and Yext compared.

FAQ

Choosing store locator software

What is the best store locator software?

It depends on your size and platform. For most retailers and brands we recommend a hosted locator that includes maps, so you don't need a Google Cloud billing account. Store Locator Widgets was ranked first by StoreLocatorReview; Stockist and Closeby are good low-cost options for simpler needs.

Do I need a Google Maps API key for a store locator?

Not always. Store Locator Widgets and Closeby include maps. Stockist, StoreRocket, Storepoint and most WordPress plugins ask you to bring your own Google Maps or Mapbox key and pay Google for usage above the free allowance.

Is there a free store locator?

Yes: WP Store Locator is free for WordPress if you host it yourself, Closeby is free for up to 5 locations, and Google My Maps can show a simple map. See our Google My Maps comparison.

How much does store locator software cost?

Most hosted locators cost $10 to $50 a month for up to 1,000 locations. Enterprise platforms like Yext are priced per location per year or by quote.

All prices and features were checked against each vendor's own website in November 2026. Ratings are from the Shopify App Store and WordPress.org. Store Locator Widgets is our own product.
