• Thumbtack: Thumbtack is a marketplace connecting consumers with local professionals and service SMBs across categories. It is comparable to RDP.ca in serving the same local SMB and consumer segments, though via a marketplace rather than directory model.

Broad incumbents

• Foursquare: Foursquare operates a location-based business discovery platform with SMB listings, reviews, and consumer discovery features. It is comparable to RDP.ca in providing location-aware business discovery and SMB listing tools.
