The one big enterprises pay for. Here is the honest breakdown for a single-location business.
Who Yext is actually built for
Fortune 500 chains, franchise HQs, hospital networks. Yext built its name locking down thousands of storefronts across a verified 200+ publisher network. That is what enterprise contracts pay for.
The 5-year math
What you get, line by line
The gotchas an SMB might miss
- Every year it renews. Every year the price can move.
- One year on the Complete plan already costs more than LocalBasics forever.
- Cancel and your listings roll back to whatever was there before you signed up.
- Support at the SMB tier is a form, not a person.
When Yext is actually the better call
You run 50+ locations and need audit trails, workflow approvals, and a dedicated CSM. That is what you are paying for.
Honest answerThe LocalBasics case
- $499 once. Not $499 every single year.
- 70+ platforms covered, not 200 you will never look at.
- Same lifetime access whether you have one location or open a second.
LocalBasics vs Yext, answered
You run 50+ locations and need audit trails, workflow approvals, and a dedicated CSM. That is what you are paying for.
No. LocalBasics is a one-time payment for lifetime listing protection, not a monthly or annual bill. Yext is a recurring subscription, so the cost repeats for as long as you use it.
With most subscription tools, cancelling can roll your listings back to whatever was there before you signed up. With LocalBasics there is nothing to cancel. You paid once, your record is yours, and your details stay put.
LocalBasics keeps your business accurate across 70+ maps, directories and voice assistants. Yext covers 200+.
