The best Thryv alternatives for small local businesses

Thryv puts a CRM, scheduling, payments, texting and marketing tools in one system. That suits some owners well. Others want a lower starting price, shorter terms, or a better website more than another dashboard. Here's what else to look at.

Quick answer

For a CRM, texting and booking with prices on the website, look at GoHighLevel. For a quick hosted site with a simple CRM, Durable. For done-for-you marketing, Hibu. For reviews only, GatherUp. If the real gap is your website and its pages, LocalBiz (that's us) builds the site and writes them.

We make LocalBiz, so we list it first and label it. The others are ranked by how well they fit a local service business.

Why people look beyond Thryv

  • $99 a month to start. Starter is $99 and Signature $399 a month, which is a lot if you mainly want more customers from Google.
  • A multi-month start. Thryv says its agreements typically begin with an initial multi-month term before going monthly.
  • The website is an add-on. Website tools and SEO tools sit outside the core platform.
  • More than you may need. If you don't need a CRM, scheduling and payments, you're paying for tools you won't use.

To be fair to Thryv: it covers scheduling, invoices, payments, texting and marketing in one place, and it offers people to help you set it up.

Questions

What's the cheapest Thryv alternative?

Of the tools here, Durable has a free plan and a $25 Launch plan. GoHighLevel starts at $97 plus usage, and GatherUp at $99 for reviews only.

Does LocalBiz do scheduling or invoices?

No. LocalBiz builds your website and writes its pages and posts. Keep a scheduling and invoicing tool alongside it.

Can I leave Thryv any time?

That depends on your contract. Thryv says agreements typically start with a multi-month term and need written notice to end. Check yours before you sign up elsewhere.
