What Local Falcon does
- Local ranking grids
- Scans run from 3x3 up to 21x21 points around a location, so a business sees where it ranks block by block rather than at one search point.
- Falcon AI reports
- A report generator that costs 25 credits per report. The pricing page names it, but the text that was read does not describe what a report contains or how it is built.
- Falcon Agent
- Included free with all credit package subscriptions. The pages opened do not describe what tasks it performs, which prompts it answers or what data it can read.
- Scheduling and sharing
- Scheduled scans, variable grid sizes, service area business scans and public report URLs let an agency show clients scan results without handing over a login.
- API, MCP and connectors
- A Local Falcon API, an MCP server, a Claude connector, a Looker Studio connector, Zapier and n8n are listed; free above Starter monthly, though scans still use credits.
How Local Falcon handles your data
Local Falcon's privacy policy says information is stored for up to 365 days after it is no longer required to provide the services, and that non-identifying information may be stored indefinitely. It does not address training AI models on customer data, states no hosting region and names no security certifications. For agencies that scan on behalf of clients, the retention period and the public report URLs are the two items to confirm in writing.
Where Local Falcon falls short in practice
- Credits drain with use. Each scan spends credits, and monthly plans expire unused credits at month end. A team scheduling many large grids can exhaust a Starter allowance quickly, while annual plans give more credits for the same monthly price.
- Pricing page numbers disagree. The FAQ gives 63,000 monthly and 756,000 annual credits at the top tier, while the table shows 63,150 and 778,000. Ask which figure applies before buying Premium.
- Rank scanning only. The pages opened describe grid scanning and AI visibility tracking. No listing sync, citation building or review requests appear, so a Local Falcon subscription sits beside a listings tool, not in place of it.

As of November 2026 the monthly figures are $24.99 for Starter, $49.99 for Basic, $99.99 for Pro and $199.99 for Premium, with 7,500 to 63,150 credits. Annual plans are billed at the same monthly figure but give many more credits. There is no free plan, only 100 free sign-up credits.
What is a credit in Local Falcon?
Credits are the unit scans consume. Monthly plans expire credits at month end and annual plans at year end. Pay-as-you-go credits cost $0.05 each and never expire. A Falcon AI report costs 25 credits, and the pricing page does not list the credit cost of a full grid scan.
Does Local Falcon have an API?
Yes. A Local Falcon API and an MCP server are listed, and integrations plus the data API are free on plans above Starter monthly. A Claude connector is available at no extra charge, but any scan it triggers still uses plan credits.
What grid sizes does Local Falcon scan?
The pricing page lists local ranking grids from 3x3 up to 21x21, plus scheduled scans, variable grid sizes and service area business scans. Public report URLs let a user share results without sharing an account, and scans can be scheduled to repeat.
Is there a free trial for Local Falcon?
There is no free plan. New accounts get 100 free credits at sign up, and the pricing table marks Starter monthly as a trial. The pages read do not state how many scans 100 credits buy, so run one small grid to find out.
