Yext pricing: what is public and what is not
Yext does not publish prices. As of 2026-10-25, its FAQ says the price is custom, set by location count and billed annually. We show no Yext figure here because there is none to cite. OpenGMB costs $10 a month per account, however many locations it holds.

How much does Yext cost, by plan and number of locations?
Here is what Yext itself says. Contact sales (custom pricing, no published price) (verified 2026-10-25). The FAQ explains price is a function of your location count (or provider count) multiplied by a unit rate (verified 2026-10-25), and annual billing; multi-year terms earn better rates (verified 2026-10-25). It adds that new products and major upgrades include a one-time implementation (verified 2026-10-25). There is no price table to show, because Yext has not published one.
- Yext's own pricing address leads to an error page (2026-10-25). The sales route is Demo request form (no price shown) (verified 2026-10-25).
- An older Yext PowerListings page, not linked from yext.com's main pages, still lists one-location packages billed annually from $199 (verified 2026-10-25) a year (2026-10-25). It says All Yext plans last 12 months (verified 2026-10-25). It may not reflect current pricing, and we do not treat it as Yext's list price.
- Trial: No free tier and no standard free trial (verified 2026-10-25).
- The FAQ says smaller businesses are pointed to reseller partners (verified 2026-10-25).
- We found third-party price estimates for Yext, but they disagree with each other, so we show none.

How much does OpenGMB cost, with two examples?
OpenGMB is $10 a month per account, and the $10 is usage credit. Google calls are free, with a fair-use limit. AI drafts and rank scans use the credit, both at our cost plus 28%. If the credit runs out, only AI drafts and rank scans pause. A typical reply draft is about $0.0004. That is an estimate, not a price: each draft is charged at its metered cost plus 28%. The usage numbers below are our own assumptions, not averages.
Owner, 1 location
A month with no AI drafts and no rank scans costs the flat $10. A typical month adds 30 AI drafts and 4 rank scans on a 5x5 grid. That uses about $0.09 of the $10, so the bill is $10.
Yext shows no price for one location. Ask Yext for a quote. OpenGMB is $10 a month for the account, plus any AI drafts and rank scans you run.
Agency, 10 locations
A month with no AI drafts and no rank scans costs the flat $10. A typical month adds 150 AI drafts and 20 rank scans on a 7x7 grid. That uses about $0.81 of the $10, so the bill is $10.
At 10 locations, Yext's FAQ says price is a function of your location count (or provider count) multiplied by a unit rate (verified 2026-10-25). We do not estimate a total. OpenGMB stays $10 a month for the account, plus usage.

What is different about OpenGMB?

Approval first
Posts and profile edits need approval, and so do replies unless the owner turns on auto-approve for 4- or 5-star reviews. Rules such as U7.url and PR.description-length check the text first, and the audit log records who approved.
MCP
Connect Claude or any MCP client to https://opengmb.synectus.com/mcp. It is included on the $10 plan. A read only token cannot change anything. A read and write token acts with its owner's rights inside OpenGMB, but a person approves anything that reaches Google, in the app.
Open-source core
Read the code of the community edition, or self-host it with one owner login and your own keys. The hosted plan adds teams, a client portal and billing. Licence: MIT. Repo: https://github.com/synectus/OpenGMB.
See how approvals work on the guardrails page or read about the Google Business Profile MCP.
Where is Yext stronger?
Honestly, in several places. If any of these matter to you, Yext is the better pick.

- Reviews beyond Google. Yext covers 80+ (verified 2026-10-25) platforms. OpenGMB reads Google reviews.
- Scale and control. Yext can 10,000+ locations across languages and regions (verified 2026-10-25), with role-based access, audit trails, PHI protection and approval workflows (verified 2026-10-25).
How do you switch from Yext to OpenGMB?
- Ask Yext for a written quote and the contract term first.
- Try OpenGMB on one profile with the $0.50 of free credit. No card needed.
- Keep Yext for publisher listings or non-Google reviews if you still need them.
OpenGMB's core is open source (MIT). If the hosted version stopped being worth $10 a month, you could run the community edition yourself. See how the community edition works.

Not one we could read. Its pricing address led to an error page on 2026-10-25. The knowledge-center FAQ is where Yext explains how it prices.
How much does Yext cost per location?
Yext does not say. The FAQ describes price is a function of your location count (or provider count) multiplied by a unit rate (verified 2026-10-25), so the unit rate depends on your quote.
Does Yext have a free trial?

What does OpenGMB cost compared with Yext?
OpenGMB is $10 a month per account, and the $10 is usage credit for AI drafts and rank scans. An account that runs none of those pays the flat $10. The tools do different jobs, so compare the features before the price.
Can OpenGMB reply to reviews without my approval?
Only if you turn it on. Replies need approval by default. An optional rule auto-approves replies to 4- or 5-star reviews, and the owner has to turn it on. Auto-approve never covers replies to 1 to 3 star reviews.
