The honest answer is: less than most business owners assume. Every core feature — your listing page, reviews, contact details, and photos — is available on the free plan.
Premium adds visibility: priority placement within your category, a verified badge, and lightweight analytics showing how customers found you.
Premium is a volume feature, not a quality feature. It doesn't make your business better — it makes it easier to find.
When it's worth upgrading
If you're in a competitive category with dozens of similar listings, the extra visibility tends to pay for itself quickly. In a smaller category, free is often plenty.
