Best Batchgeo Alternative in 2026

Batchgeo describes itself as "an interactive map making tool based around tabular data." It is very good at that. You paste a spreadsheet, it geocodes the addresses, and you get a Google Map you can embed.

A store locator is a different product. It sits inside your brand, it tells you what your customers searched for, it captures the ones who want to be contacted, and it stays current without anybody re-pasting a spreadsheet. This guide compares the two on the things a business actually pays for.

#StoreRocket vs Batchgeo: The Full Comparison

Both put pins on a map. The difference is what your visitors see, what you get back, and what it costs to have all of it.

That fourth row is not a rhetorical trick. Batchgeo's own pricing page lists what $99 a month buys, in full: password protection, ten users, Street View integration, PDF, PNG and KML export, a heat map layer, route optimisation for up to 23 stops, larger datasets, and no ads. Every one of those is about getting more out of a map. None of them is about running a locator.

Two honest notes. Batchgeo's free tier costs nothing at all, where ours is a 7-day trial with every feature unlocked and no card. And Pro holds up to 100,000 markers on one map where our top plan covers 10,000 locations, so a 40,000-pin dataset that needs nothing else is cheaper there.

For everyone else the arithmetic is blunt: Batchgeo Pro is $99 a month and StoreRocket Business is $69, and the $69 is the one with lead capture, visitor analytics, daily Google Sheets sync, a REST API and white label. Their $99 is also not a free trial, it is a 30-day refund guarantee, so you pay first and ask afterwards.

#What Batchgeo's Locator Does, In Their Words

Batchgeo publishes a complete list of what its store locator offers. Quoted in full:

Search for nearest location by postal code or address Browse a list of locations alongside the map Embed the store locator seamlessly in your website Access using mobile devices such as Android or iPhone Nearest location will be found using mobile GPS (if available)

That is a solid map with a search box, and for a page that just needs to show where the shops are, it does the job. StoreRocket starts from that same list and then adds the things that turn a map into a channel: filters your visitors can stack, custom fields on every location, your own uploaded markers, lead capture forms, search analytics, and a choice of Google Maps or Mapbox.

#Three Differences You Feel After Launch

#1. Ads, and whose brand the visitor sees

Batchgeo's free tier shows ads on your map page. Removing them is one of the headline reasons their pricing page gives for upgrading to Pro at $99/mo: "We will not display ads on your map page, or ever share your information with advertisers."

The embed itself is an iframe. Batchgeo's documentation is straightforward about it: each map "is securely hosted on BatchGeo servers," and adding it is "similar to the process of embedding a YouTube video." An iframe is a separate document sitting inside your page, so your site's fonts, colours and CSS stop at its edge.

StoreRocket ships as a script embed. On WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow and plain HTML it renders directly in your page, inherits your layout and picks up your CSS. On Wix, where the supported install path is Wix's Embed HTML element, it sits in a frame like anything else pasted there. Either way you set the colours, fonts, markers and result-card design yourself in the dashboard, and there are no ads on any plan, including during the trial. White label is on Business at $69/mo.

#2. What the analytics are analysing

Batchgeo has a Data Analysis feature, and it is worth understanding exactly what it does, because the name is easy to misread. It analyses your spreadsheet: "Visualize trends with location data on a map." The Pro heat map layer works the same way, showing where your own rows cluster together.

StoreRocket's analytics look the other direction, at your visitors. From Pro at $39/mo you see the searches people ran, the geographic heatmap of where that demand came from, which locations they clicked through to, and how the pattern changes over time. That is the data that tells you where to open next, which is a different and more valuable question than where your existing pins already are.

#3. Updating a location on a Tuesday afternoon

This is the one that decides it for most teams. Batchgeo's own documentation describes the update process: "You can edit a map using the special link we email to you after you save your map. Just look for an email from BatchGeo with your map title in the subject line." Then you "copy the data from the box and paste it into a spreadsheet editor," make your changes, and paste it back. There is a retrieve-map-links tool on their help page for when that email cannot be found.

That is fine for a map you publish once. For a dealer network where a phone number changes on Tuesday and a store closes on Thursday, it is a chore that lands on somebody every week, and it depends on an email nobody has archived.

StoreRocket gives you a dashboard with a login, CSV import with automatic column mapping, a daily Google Sheets sync on Business so your team edits a spreadsheet they already share, and a REST API so another system can do it without a human at all.

#Migrating from Batchgeo

#Step 1: Get your spreadsheet

Create your free account. No credit card, no sales call.

#Step 3: Import your locations

Option A: CSV upload

1. Go to Locations > Import
2. Upload your spreadsheet

4. Click Import

Option B: Google Sheets sync (Business)

1. Go to Settings > Integrations
2. Connect your Google account
3. Select your spreadsheet
4. Locations sync daily

#Step 4: Customise your map

Choose a theme, upload custom markers, set your brand colours, and configure search and filters. The live preview shows the result before you publish.

#Step 5: Embed on your website

 1<div class="storerocket-store-locator"></div>
 2
 3<script src="//cdn.storerocket.io/widget.js"></script>
 4<script>
 5StoreRocket.init({
 6    selector: ".storerocket-store-locator",
 7    account: "YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID"
 8});
 9</script>

Replace YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID with the account ID shown under Widget → Install in the StoreRocket dashboard. The same snippet works on WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow and plain HTML.

#Step 6: Remove the old Batchgeo iframe

Delete the old iframe code. Done.

#Other Tools People Compare To Batchgeo

Batchgeo sits in a category of spreadsheet-to-map tools. If a map is genuinely all you need, these are the honest options, and none of them is trying to be a store locator.

Google My Maps is free and familiar, and good for internal maps and quick shared visualisations. Your visitors see Google's interface rather than yours.

Mapbox is a developer platform with beautiful styles and generous free usage. You build the locator yourself on top of it, which is the right call if you have engineering time and want total control. Our Google Maps vs Mapbox comparison covers the trade-off, and how to use the Mapbox API free covers the allowances.

Zeemaps is closest to Batchgeo in shape: a free tier with ads, group maps, and paid plans from $19.95/month.

If what you actually need is a locator rather than a map, the purpose-built options are worth comparing directly: Storepoint, Stockist, Storemapper and StoreRocket. Our best store locator software 2026 guide puts them side by side.

#Frequently Asked Questions

#Is Batchgeo good for store locators?

For a simple "here is where to find us" map, yes. Batchgeo publishes nearest-location search by postal code or address, a list alongside the map, an embed, and mobile GPS. Compare that list against what you need. If ads on your map, an iframe you cannot restyle, visitor analytics, lead capture or automatic updating matter to you, compare a purpose-built locator too.

#How much does Batchgeo cost?

Batchgeo has a free tier limited to 250 rows of data, with ads on your map. Batchgeo Pro is $99/month, which removes the ads and adds password protection, ten users, Street View, PDF, PNG and KML export, a heat map layer and route optimisation. Above that, their pricing page directs you to contact enterprise sales. StoreRocket is $25, $39 or $69 a month, all published.

#Does Batchgeo have a free trial?

Batchgeo Pro comes with a 30-day refund guarantee rather than a trial, so the $99 is charged first. StoreRocket's trial is 7 days with no credit card, so nothing is charged at all.

#Can I import my Batchgeo data to StoreRocket?

Yes. Copy your rows out of the Edit Map Data box, or use the original spreadsheet, and upload it as a CSV. The column mapper matches names, addresses, phone numbers and any custom fields you have.

#Does StoreRocket work with Google Maps?

Yes. Google Maps or Mapbox, and you can switch between them.

#Will my locator show ads?

No, on any StoreRocket plan, including the trial.

#The Bottom Line

Batchgeo is a good map maker and it has never claimed to be anything else. If your locations rarely change, ads on the page are acceptable, and you only need pins with a search box, its free tier is hard to argue with.

The moment the locator becomes a real part of how customers find you, the questions change. Whose brand is on it, who is searching and for what, which of those people wanted contacting, and who keeps the data current. StoreRocket answers all four for $69 a month, which is $30 less than Batchgeo charges to take the ads off.
