When to pick which.
- You need 200+ directory listings across enterprise verticals.
- You already use Yext Answers as your site search and replacing it is out of scope.
- You have a multi-year Yext contract that has not yet renewed.
- Your buying committee requires a vendor with 15+ years of trading history.
- You want daily geo-grid rank tracking on real local SERPs.
- You need AI-search visibility tracking across AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude.
- Procurement needs to see a contract and a price before a call.
- You are an agency that needs white-label workspaces and per-client billing.
- Your portfolio is under 1,000 locations and the Yext minimum has always felt heavy.

No. GBPHive focuses on Google Business Profile management, geo-grid rank tracking, reviews, and AI-search visibility. Yext's strength is broad directory distribution; that is a different product category.
