Pick Vendasta if

- Works for franchises managing listings and reviews for many locations
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you own one business and want a tool for yourself, as it's sold to resellers
- Watch out: wholesale prices for Local SEO and the other products aren't on the pricing page

- Tight if you want your own branding, as Starter is co-branded and white label starts at $499 on a 1-year contract

- 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.
