A group of software testers decided to pit the three most popular LBS against each other (Foursquare, Gowalla, and Brightkite). They tested and rewarded a grade of either good, better, or best to six different features Ease-Of-Use, Location Accuracy, Opportunity to Earn Deals, Status Features, Friend Connectivity, and Social Media Integration. Foursquare scored the best for all features but one, location accuracy. Gowalla was a solid second while Brightkite was the obvious weaker of the three.

They also revealed the number of bugs which were found in each LBS (Foursquare had 177, Gowalla 316, and Brightkite 377)
