The short answer

Yext is a powerful platform, typically sold on a subscription with pricing by quote, and built for teams that will operate it themselves. MGMT Core is a managed service: listings kept correct across a 102-publisher network, every Google review answered, negatives followed up within one business day, and daily tracking of whether six AI engines recommend each location, run by a named specialist for $400 per location a month, no contract.
