A practical comparison
Handled Locator vs Storepoint.
Both products help you add a searchable locator to a website. The useful decision is not who has the longest feature list; it is how each product handles map costs, location updates, brand control and the parts you still need help with.
Storepoint figures and claims below were checked against its public website on August 24, 2026. Recheck the vendor page before making a purchasing decision. We do not imply that either product is right for every business.
Side by side, without pretending to know what we cannot verify.
| Decision point | Handled Locator | Storepoint |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $19/month | $25/month on its public pricing page |
| Published location tiers | 200 / 2,000 / 10,000 | 200 / 2,000 / unlimited on its public pricing page |
| Map billing | Bring your own Mapbox or Google Maps key; the provider bills you directly. | Map approach and included usage should be confirmed against the current plan. |
| Brand matching | One initial match and one revision included on Starter, Pro and Business. | Brand matching is advertised; confirm the current scope and plan limits. |
| Location management | Dashboard, CSV import and Google Sheets sync. | Dashboard, spreadsheet import and Google Sheets sync are advertised. |
| Embed | One script on Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace or any website. | Hosted embed for any website, with platform guides. |
| Public write API | REST endpoints to create, read, update and delete locations, a Query API for building your own front end, and documented browser events. Keys are per-account and can be issued read-only. | API availability and scope should be confirmed with Storepoint. |
| Several languages at once | Hold the locator's interface text in more than one language; each visitor is matched to the closest one from their browser, falling back per label to your primary wording. | Language handling should be confirmed with Storepoint. |
| AI assistants | An MCP server, so Claude and ChatGPT can operate the locator directly: paste a list of addresses and they are geocoded and added, describe a design and the widget restyles, ask for the embed code and you get it. Connecting is a sign-in rather than a key, and it is on every plan including the trial. Every configuration change is proposed with the exact before-and-after first and only goes live on your confirmation. | Nothing on storepoint.co mentioned an MCP server, Claude or ChatGPT when we read it on September 13, 2026. That is a fact about the page on that day rather than a claim about the product. |
