Yext bills annually with 12 to 24 month minimums. 15 alternatives compared on price, trial and contract, with sources.
Yext does not publish enterprise pricing, so those figures are reported. Its self serve tiers are its own published numbers, checked August 2026.
People leave Yext over the commercial terms, not the product. It is annual billing only, typically with a 12 or 24 month minimum, and mid market deployments are commonly quoted in the tens of thousands a year. If you need listings pushed across a very wide publisher network you are paying for something real. If you mostly need rank tracking, profile management and reviews, you are paying enterprise money for a different job.
Why businesses look for Yext alternatives
Annual billing only
There is no monthly option on the enterprise path. You commit for a year before you know whether your team will use it.
Minimum commitments of 12 to 24 months
A decision that turns out wrong in month two still has 22 months to run, and multi year deals are where the discounts live.
The price at mid market
Deployments in the 50 to 100 location range are commonly quoted in the tens of thousands per year, which is a different budget conversation entirely.
You are buying listings distribution
That is what Yext is genuinely built for. Rank tracking and review workflow are a different shape of product, and paying Yext prices for them is poor value.
What Yext is genuinely good at
Yext built the listings distribution category and its publisher network is still the widest. If that is what you are buying, this is the honest place to say so.
- The widest publisher network in the category.
- Built for large, complex portfolios with governance requirements.
If those are the things you need most, Yext may well be the right answer and you can stop reading here.

The 15 alternatives, one by one
Ordered by how well each covers the listings distribution job people usually buy Yext for.
Local SEO Tool
This is us- Price
- $16 at 1 location, flat $37 for 2 to 7, $5.33 each from 8
- Trial
- Three day free trial
- Terms
- No contract, cancel any month
- All 42 tools on the single plan. Nothing sits behind a higher tier.
- Priced per location only. Adding your team costs nothing.
- Starts at one location, with no minimum location count.
- Newer than the names below, so there is less third party review history to read.
- Not an enterprise procurement product. If you need a named account manager and a signed MSA, the enterprise vendors are built for that and we are not.
If you are leaving Yext. Our billing is monthly with no contract and no notice period, at $16 for one location, a flat $37 for two through seven, and $5.33 each from eight upward. What we do not have is Yext's publisher network, a named account manager or a signed MSA. Our trial is three days.
Uberall
- Price
- Not published. Quote on request
- Trial
- No free trial
- Terms
- Annual agreements
- Built for large portfolios and wide publisher networks.
- Strong on listings distribution across many directories at once.
- A 25 location minimum, so smaller businesses and growing chains cannot buy it at all.
- No published pricing and no free trial, so evaluating it means booking a sales call first.
- Add ons for posting, local pages and messages sit outside the base packages.
If you are leaving Yext. Uberall sells on annual agreements too, so the thing you are leaving is waiting on the other side. There is no published price and no trial either, so you would book a sales call, get quoted, and sign a year. Below 25 locations you cannot buy it at all.
Moz Local
- Price
- Lite $20, Preferred $30, Elite $40 per location per month
- Trial
- No open ended free tier
- Terms
- Monthly or annual, annual saves up to about 25 percent
- Simple, cheap and good at the one thing it does.
- A trusted name with a long history in SEO.
- Listings focused. It is not a rank tracker, a review workflow or a reporting suite.
- Extra data aggregators cost more on top, and are limited to the higher tiers.
- You will usually end up buying something else alongside it.
If you are leaving Yext. If listings distribution was the only part of Yext you actually used, Moz Local does that job from $20 a location and lets you pay by the month. The publisher network is narrower and there is no rank tracking or review workflow, so budget for a second tool alongside it.
BrightLocal
- Price
- Track $39, Manage $49, Grow $59 per location per month
- Trial
- 14 day free trial, no card required
- Terms
- Monthly or annual, annual saves up to about 26 percent
- Long established, widely used, and a lot of people already know how it works.
- A genuine free trial with no card, which most of this category does not offer.
- Strong citation and audit tooling.
- Features are split across tiers. Listings sync starts at Manage and review management only arrives on Grow.
- That means the tools most local businesses actually want tend to sit on the most expensive plan.
- Cost climbs with location count. Grow at 50 locations is listed at $449 a month.
If you are leaving Yext. BrightLocal will take your money monthly, and the 14 day trial needs no card, so you can test it before anything is owed. The annual option saves up to about 26 percent if you ever want it. Just know review management sits on the $59 Grow tier.
Synup
- Price
- Solo $49 for one location, Premium $299 to 10, Pro $499 to 25, Scale $899 to 50
- Trial
- 14 days, no card
- Terms
- Monthly, or annual at 20 percent off
- Built with agencies in mind rather than retrofitted for them.
- Listings distribution and reputation in one place.
- Two costs rather than one. A base plan and the band your location count falls into on top.
- The real monthly figure is hard to work out until you know your location count.
- Demo led rather than something you can just try.
If you are leaving Yext. Synup is probably the closest thing here to Yext's publisher reach without the contract. Plans are monthly and you leave at the end of a billing period, pricing is published, and the 14 day trial takes no card and no sales call. Above 50 locations you move to a termed Enterprise agreement again.
GMBapi
- Price
- $16 per location at one location, falling to $4.50 each at 201 and above
- Trial
- 14 days, no card
- Terms
- Monthly or annual. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period
- Genuinely cheap per location at scale.
- A two week free trial and a free version.
- Setup and support included.
- Focused on GBP management and reporting rather than the whole local SEO job.
- Pricing is built around large portfolios, so the value case is weaker at a handful of locations.
If you are leaving Yext. Read GMBapi's cancellation terms before you celebrate. Its own FAQ says you can cancel any time after your third month with a minimum of one month's notice, so there is roughly a four month commitment baked in. Far shorter than two years, though still a commitment rather than true month to month billing.
Birdeye
- Price
- Not published. Reported at $299 to $449 per location per month
- Trial
- 30 days, but on single modules only, not the platform
- Terms
- Annual, and it auto renews unless you give 90 days written notice
- Deep review and messaging feature set, and it is well regarded by the businesses that use it.
- Wide integration list into CRM and practice management systems.
- Reported onboarding fees of $500 to $1,500 per location before the platform sends a single review request.
- A 12 month auto renewing contract with 90 days written notice to cancel.
- Integration fees of $500 to $2,000 reported for connecting a CRM or POS.
If you are leaving Yext. Birdeye is a tighter lock than the one you are in. Its own terms auto renew the agreement for another full term unless written notice lands at least 90 days before the renewal date, and describe payments as non cancellable and non refundable. Diary that date or you sign again.
Whitespark
- Price
- Rank tracker from $25 a month. Reputation from $79. Managed GBP service $497 a month
- Trial
- Varies by product
- Terms
- Monthly
- Genuinely good at citations, which is what they are known for.
- The rank tracker is inexpensive and covers unlimited domains and locations.
- Real local SEO expertise behind the products.
- Separate subscriptions rather than one login, so costs and logins add up as you add jobs.
- No single place where rank, reviews and profile health sit together.
If you are leaving Yext. Whitespark sells a direct Yext replacement at $349 per location, which is a completely different shape of commitment from a 24 month subscription. Everything else there is monthly and bought separately, so the rank tracker at $25 and the reputation tool at $79 are two more subscriptions on top.
Local Falcon
- Price
- Credit packages from about $25 to $200 a month
- Trial
- Credit based, so you can start small
- Terms
- Monthly
- The geo grid reporting is excellent and it is what they focus on entirely.
- Credits mean you can start very cheaply if you scan occasionally.
- Grid tracking only. No profile management, no review workflow, no listings.
- Credits mean the cost scales with how much you scan, which is hard to budget when scanning grows.
- You will need other tools alongside it to do the rest of the job.
If you are leaving Yext. Credit packages from about $25 a month mean no commitment at all, and you can stop buying credits whenever you like. But grid scanning is all Local Falcon does. It manages no listings, no profiles and no reviews, so it replaces none of what you were paying Yext for.
Semrush Local
- Price
- Local Base $30, Local Pro $60 per location per month, billed annually
- Trial
- Seven days, card required
- Terms
- No minimum term
- Sits inside a toolset a lot of marketers already have open.
- Listing management and review tools on the higher tiers.
- Map rank tracking included as credits.
- Listing management only arrives on the higher tiers.
- Rank tracking runs on credits, so heavy scanning costs more than the headline.
- You are buying into the wider Semrush account model, which is a bigger commitment than a local tool.
If you are leaving Yext. Semrush Local publishes no minimum term, which is what you want. Read the billing toggle carefully though. The $30 and $60 figures are shown as annual rates and the month to month price does not clearly appear on the page, so confirm the monthly number at checkout before you assume you are free.
Localo
- Price
- Single Business $49 a month, or $39 billed annually. Pro $169, or $149 annually
- Trial
- 14 days, no card
- Terms
- Monthly or annual, no minimum term
- Simple and quick to get going with.
- Priced for a single location rather than an portfolio.
- Free tools you can try in a browser.
- Built around a small number of locations, so it stretches at scale.
- Not the tool for an agency running dozens of client portfolios.
If you are leaving Yext. Localo lets you cancel any month, offers 14 days free without a card, and adds a 30 day money back guarantee, so the commitment risk is roughly zero. It is a Google profile tool though, so the wide directory syndication you were buying from Yext is not what you get.
Local Viking
- Price
- Single $39, Starter $59, Pro $99, Agency $149, Enterprise $200 a month by listing count
- Trial
- No free trial advertised
- Terms
- Monthly
- Geo grid tracking and GBP posting together at a low price.
- White label reporting on the higher tiers.
- Straightforward pricing by listing count.
- Credits for keywords and grid scans cap how much you can actually run.
- No free tier, so you commit before you try it.
- Narrower than a full local SEO platform.
If you are leaving Yext. Local Viking publishes monthly plans only, with no minimum term, so the worst case is one month at $39. There is no free trial, so that month is the price of finding out. Check who you are actually buying from first, since the pricing page now redirects to a Local Optics address.
SearchAtlas
- Price
- Starter $99, Growth $199, Pro $399, Agency $999 a month
- Trial
- Seven days
- Terms
- Month to month
- Covers general SEO as well as local, so it replaces more than one tool.
- Seats and projects included rather than charged per location.
- Priced by seats and projects, so a multi location local job is not what the pricing is shaped around.
- Local is one part of a much wider product, and depth varies.
If you are leaving Yext. SearchAtlas shows month to month pricing on its own page with no annual toggle and no minimum term language anywhere, which is exactly the opposite of what you have been living with. An annual option at roughly 20 percent off is reported by third parties but is not confirmed on the vendor site.
Local Dominator
- Price
- Lite $39, Advance $59, Pro $97, Powerhouse $197, Enterprise $399 a month, credit metered
- Trial
- Seven days, no card
- Terms
- Monthly or annual
- White label reporting on every tier, which most competitors reserve for higher plans.
- Low entry price.
- Credit based, so the sticker price is not what heavy scanning actually costs.
- Add ons on top. An AI tracker at about $49 per site and a citations builder at about $35 per location.
If you are leaving Yext. Local Dominator says cancel anytime on its own pricing page and the 7 day trial takes no card, so you owe nothing to try it. The catch is a different kind of unpredictability. Plans are credit metered, and heavy grid scanning burns through the allowance, with top ups starting at $100.
RightChoice.AI
- Price
- Solo $20 and Business $30 a month. Agency is $6 per profile
- Trial
- Seven days, no card
- Terms
- Monthly or annual, two months free on annual
- AI led approach to local SEO and profile work.
- Newer product, so it is built around how search works now.
- No published pricing at the time of writing, so comparing cost means asking.
- Less independent review history than the established names.
If you are leaving Yext. RightChoice.AI has the cleanest terms on this list for someone in your position. You pick monthly or annual, switch between them whenever you like, and cancel with no fee, running to the end of the period you paid for. Syndication reaches Bing and 20 plus directories, far narrower than Yext.
Where GMBAudit fits, and where it does not
A 24 month commitment for software you have not used yet is a big ask. Monthly billing and a trial were the obvious answer.
So it is one plan with all 42 tools on it and no feature held back for a higher tier. One location is $16 a month, two to seven locations is a flat $37 however many you add inside that range, and from eight it is $5.33 each. Three day free trial, no card, no contract.
For the jobs people are usually comparing here, that means citation building and cleanup, managing every profile in one place and white label reporting sit on the same plan, rather than across three subscriptions or three tiers.
- Newer than the names below, so there is less third party review history to read.
- Not an enterprise procurement product. If you need a named account manager and a signed MSA, the enterprise vendors are built for that and we are not.

Four questions worth asking before you switch
Question two is the one that catches people with Yext, because the notice period outlasts the disappointment. Our own answers are on the pricing page.
What is on the plan you can actually afford?
Not what is on the website. Open the pricing page and check which tier holds the feature you are buying this for. In this category it is often not the entry one.
What is the minimum, and the notice period?
A minimum location count decides whether you can buy at all. A notice period decides how long a bad decision lasts.
Can you try it before you commit?
A trial answers the only question that matters, which is whether your team will use it after month two. A demo does not.
What will it cost at the size you are growing into?
Per location pricing compounds. Work out the figure at double your current locations before you sign anything.

Yext questions
How much does Yext cost?
Self serve tiers run from $199 to $999 per location per year. For 10 to 50 locations, per location pricing typically lands between $600 and $1,500 a year. Mid market deployments of 50 to 100 locations are commonly quoted at $20,000 to $80,000 or more annually.
Can I pay Yext monthly?
Not on the enterprise path. Billing is annual, and contracts typically carry a 12 or 24 month minimum commitment.
Is Yext worth it?
If your problem is pushing accurate listings across a very wide publisher network and you have the budget, it is the strongest product in the category for that. If your problem is rank tracking, reviews or day to day profile work, you are overpaying for the wrong strength.
What is the closest Yext alternative?
Uberall for enterprise listings distribution, though it has a 25 location minimum and no published pricing. Moz Local or GMBapi at the cheaper end if listings accuracy is all you need.
Do I need enterprise listings software?
With hundreds of locations and a compliance requirement, probably. Below that it usually solves a problem you do not have at a price that assumes you do.
