LocalBiz vs Thryv
Thryv helps you run the business day to day. LocalBiz builds the website and writes the pages that bring customers to it.
The short answer
Choose Thryv if you want a CRM, appointment scheduling, estimates, invoices, payments, texting and email in one system, with a team to help you set it up. It does all of that and LocalBiz doesn't. Choose LocalBiz if your gap is the website: a page for every service and area you cover, and a blog that keeps publishing, at a published monthly price.
Thryv sells website tools as an add-on, and says its agreements typically start with a multi-month term. LocalBiz is month to month from the first payment.

Where LocalBiz is different
- The website is the product. LocalBiz builds the whole site, then writes service pages, city pages and blog posts for it. With Thryv, website tools are an add-on.
- Rank tracking included. LocalBiz checks where each keyword ranks on Google, top 30 on mobile, in every area you serve, each month.
- Your site is yours. The code lives in your own GitHub and deploys to your own Vercel, so you can leave with it.
- Month to month from day one. LocalBiz starts at $25/mo, billed monthly by card, with the price on the website.
Which one to choose
- you want a CRM, scheduling, invoices and payments in one system
- you text and email customers and want it all in one inbox
- you'd like a team to help you set it up
- you need a website, or a better one
- you want service and city pages written for every area you cover
- you want month-to-month terms from the start
Pricing compared
Starter: 100 credits a month, unlimited businesses. Plans go up to $250 for 1,000 credits. Month to month.
Starter plan. Signature is $399 a month, and there's a Custom plan on request. Thryv's annual report says its agreements typically start with a multi-month term, then renew monthly, and you cancel with the written notice set in your contract.
Note: LocalBiz sites run on your own Vercel account. Vercel's free plan is for non-commercial use, so a business site may need Vercel's paid plan.
Using both, or switching
- Keep Thryv for scheduling, invoices and messages, if they work for you.
- Add your business to LocalBiz and let it suggest service and city pages.
- Build your site with LocalBiz, on code that stays in your own GitHub.
- If you drop Thryv's website add-on, check your contract's notice period first.
