Which one is for you
Pick LocalClarity if
- Fits if you manage listings and reviews for many locations on a per-location budget
- Works for software companies tracking their reviews on G2, Trustpilot and Capterra
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're on Solo or Google Only, as both cover Google alone; Apple, Bing and Facebook need Professional
- Watch out: AI review replies, sentiment, competitor reviews and the API all start at Professional ($12)
- Skip it if you need white-label domains or two-factor login on a budget, as they're only on the custom plan
- Watch out: a letter on the site calls Professional a flat $16 a location, while the plan table offers $12 yearly
- Skip it if you need listings sent to directories and aggregators, as its listing tools cover four platforms
Pick Yext if
- Fits if you run a brand or franchise with hundreds of locations and a sales-led budget
- Works for regulated teams, such as healthcare, that need approvals and audit trails on every edit
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you're one small business, as there's no self-serve plan
- Not for you if you want a price or a trial first, since every product is quoted after a demo with sales
- Watch out: reviews, social, local pages and site search are separate Yext products on top of Listings
- Watch out: the phone apps are for Scout only, and the main platform runs in a browser

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
