Same place. Different answer.

Both apps know the restaurant exists. Only one tells you whether to go.

A star rating is a number. A real recommendation is a sentence. See the difference.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Everything you'd want to know before tapping “Download.”

Yes — the heart of Locaro is free: the map, friends, ratings, guides and 5 AI picks a day, with no ads. Locaro Pro is an optional upgrade ($4.99/month or $39.99/year after a 7-day free trial) that raises picks to 30 a day, keeps your pick history and adds a Pro badge.
Open Decide Together and Locaro lines up a shortlist of nearby spots. Invite your friends, everyone votes in a tap, and the leader is always visible — it works for a table of two or a party of ten.
30 AI picks a day instead of 5, your full pick history, and a Pro badge on your profile. It’s $4.99/month or $39.99/year, both starting with a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions are billed and cancelled through your App Store account.
Search “Locaro” on the App Store, or tap the download button on this page. It's free — no account needed to browse the map.
Not yet — Locaro is iPhone-only for now. Android is on the roadmap once the iOS beta is stable.
No. Location is only used, with your permission, to center the map on where you are. We don't store continuous location history.
Your account and content are yours. Set your profile to public, friends-only, or private, block anyone anytime, and delete your account in one tap from Settings.
Place data is powered by Google Places, so any restaurant in the world resolves on the map. The recommendations and guides on top come from real people you follow.
Locaro Snapshot and Pick for me are powered by Claude (Anthropic) on our servers. We read public Google reviews for each place, summarize the vibe and signature dishes, and cache the result so every Locaro user opening the same place gets the same snapshot — fast and free.
No. We don’t share your activity, saves, or profile with any AI provider for training. Only the publicly visible Google reviews of a restaurant are sent to the model, never your personal data.
Yes — every restaurant on Google Maps works. We’re warming the cache for Toronto first, so insights load instantly there. In other cities the first user opening a place waits a few seconds while the snapshot is generated, then every user after them gets it instantly.
