Outgrown a map widget? Move to a store locator built for the job
Elfsight, POWR and Common Ninja make dozens of no-code widgets, and a map is one of them. Store Locator Widgets does one thing: store locators for businesses with real location lists, with bulk import, filters, analytics, submissions and reviews.

What do Elfsight, POWR and Common Ninja offer?
Elfsight, POWR and Common Ninja sell libraries of no-code website widgets: forms, galleries, reviews, maps and more. Each makes it easy to drop a map with a few pins onto Shopify, Wix, WordPress or Squarespace, and each has a cheap or free entry point.
The limits show as your location list grows. Elfsight prices by monthly views (200 on the free plan, 5,000 on $5 Basic) and deactivates the widget when you exceed them. POWR prices by location count: 3 free, 10 on Starter, 50 on Pro at $15.84 a month and unlimited on Business at $98.99 a month, with recent reviewers calling it overpriced. Common Ninja doesn't offer a dedicated store locator and points people to its general Maps widget.
A store locator needs more than pins: geocoding thousands of addresses, search by address or postcode, filters, opening hours, analytics and an admin that stays usable at scale. That is all Store Locator Widgets does.
For a handful of locations, a widget builder may be all you need. Once you have dozens or hundreds of stores, a purpose-built locator saves time and gives your customers a better search.
