Crumbtrail vs. Google My Maps

A map made for reviewers, not just for pins

Plenty of creators start with Google My Maps, and it’s a good free tool for dropping pins. Crumbtrail is built for one job: showing fans every place you’ve reviewed, and what you thought of it.

Where Crumbtrail is different

  • Every review has a score, and pins are colored by it (green, yellow or red)
  • Your own rating categories and yes/no checkboxes, the same on every review
  • A video link on every review, with a big button to watch it
  • Fans can sort by top rated, newest or nearest, and filter by category
  • A phone-first map at crumbtrail.app/your-name, with your name and icon at the top
  • Add a review by searching for the place, and the pin and address fill themselves in

When Google My Maps is enough

If you only need a handful of pins for yourself or a one-off trip, Google My Maps is free and does that well. Crumbtrail is worth it once your reviews are something fans come back to and you want them to look and work like yours.

If reviewing is your job, your map works for you

A Crumbtrail map adds value to the work you already create. Instead of getting buried as your feed moves on, every review lives on an interactive map where fans keep finding it, exploring it and watching it. That’s more for the businesses and brands you work with, and a stronger case for what your work is worth.

  • Your videos don’t get buried deep in your profile: each one stays one tap away on your map
  • More chances for every video to be watched, for as long as you have fans
  • Something extra to offer the businesses you review, and a reason to raise your rates
