Yext is an enterprise digital presence platform built to keep business information accurate across hundreds of directories. If you run restaurants, that is only half the job. The other half is turning what guests say into something your team can act on tomorrow morning.
Get StartedLive with your real reviews in minutes. No annual lock-in, no location minimum.
Both touch the reputation stack. The difference is where they live: Yext syncs your information outward so guests can find you. Replio works on what guests say after they visit, turning reviews into coaching before the next shift.

Yext pushes your hours and address to directories. Replio reads what guests say after they walk in and writes a 6am brief in the owner's voice: three floor actions, two huddle prompts, one recognition cue, so reviews drive the shift.
$199 per location, public, monthly option, no minimum. No sales call to learn what it costs, no module pricing, no annual lock-in required to get started.
Replio was built by active multi-unit operators living in Google, Yelp, DoorDash, and Uber Eats reviews every day, not a horizontal enterprise platform adapted to restaurants after the fact.
Yext is a presence platform. Its center of gravity is the listing: pushing accurate business information out to Google, Apple Maps, Bing, voice assistants, and a long tail of directories, and powering on-site search through a digital knowledge graph. That is genuinely hard at enterprise scale, and Yext is one of the strongest tools for it.
Replio is built to be deep on one thing: helping a restaurant operator run a better shift because of what guests said. It aggregates reviews across platforms, drafts each reply in the operator's voice, and writes a short daily coaching brief before the huddle. Yext makes sure people can find your correct hours. Replio makes sure that once they visit and leave a review, you see it, respond to it, and learn from it.
Many restaurant groups run a listings tool and a reviews tool side by side. If that is you, Replio handles the reviews-and-coaching half so you are not paying enterprise listings prices for capabilities you already have covered.

It depends on the job. Yext is a digital presence and listings platform. Replio is a restaurant reviews-and-coaching tool. If your priority is turning reviews into daily operating decisions across restaurant locations, Replio is the closer fit, with public pricing, no minimum location count, and a monthly option.
Replio is $199 per location per month, or $159 billed annually. Yext uses tiered, quote-gated packages with listings and reviews commonly priced as separate modules, and an annual contract is required.
No. Replio focuses on reviews and operator coaching, not directory listings sync. If you need listings management across hundreds of directories, Yext is purpose-built for that. The two tools solve different problems and can run side by side.
