Overview
What is Elfsight?
Elfsight is one of the biggest widget marketplaces on the web. Their own pricing page counts 96 apps in the pack, and the store locator is one entry in it. Their locator page lists unlimited locations, CSV import and export, real-time open/closed hours, search by address, name or ZIP, photos and logos, multilingual text, and custom CSS and JS, and it states that it needs no map API key. Pricing is banded by monthly widget views: free at 200 views, then Basic $5, Pro $10 and Premium $20 a month, billed yearly, at the 17% discount shown on 25 October 2026; higher view allowances have separate tiers. For a pin map on a small site, that is a cheap way in. StoreRocket is built for the locator the business comes to depend on: structured location records with per-weekday hours and custom fields, CSV, XLS and XLSX import, daily Google Sheets sync, lead capture, search analytics and a REST API, with no view cap on any plan.

Why Switch
Why Teams Switch From Elfsight
What you get when you switch to StoreRocket
A Location Record, Not a Map Pin
Elfsight's locator holds what a widget needs: a marker, an address, hours, a photo. StoreRocket stores locations with per-weekday opening hours, custom fields, filters and per-location markers, plus photos, and location types depending on the plan. That structure is what makes filtering, sorting and reporting possible later.
Sync, Not Re-Upload
Elfsight publishes CSV import and export. StoreRocket adds daily Google Sheets sync (depending on the plan), so the team that actually owns the store list edits a spreadsheet and the locator follows, plus CSV, XLS and XLSX import with column mapping on every plan. Nobody has to remember to re-upload a file after a store moves.
Lead Capture and a REST API
Built-in lead capture turns a search with no nearby store into a contact in your dashboard. The REST API lets you push locations from an ERP, PIM or CRM. Both depend on the plan. Neither appears on Elfsight's published store locator feature list (Aug 2026).

StoreRocket's analytics report locator views, searches, and location clicks, depending on the plan. Elfsight's locator page publishes no analytics for the widget at all, and their pricing counts views rather than reporting on them.
