What is the difference between Sentinova and Yext?
Yext is a digital presence platform. Its core function is synchronising your business name, address, hours, and attributes across a large network of directories, maps, and search surfaces, with reviews and pages as additional modules. It is priced per location and sold largely to multi-location and enterprise organisations.
Sentinova is a review management tool. It does not manage listings. It reads Google Business Profile, Yelp, and OpenTable reviews, scores sentiment, drafts replies for owner approval, and reports monthly — at a published $29.00 to $99.99 per month.

Do I need both?
Possibly, and that is a legitimate answer. If your hours and address are wrong in a dozen directories, that is a listings problem and Sentinova will not fix it. If your reviews go unanswered and you cannot tell what they say, that is a review problem and a listings platform will not fix it. They are not substitutes for each other.
When Sentinova is the wrong choice
- Your actual problem is inconsistent business information across directories — that is listings work, not review work.
- You need landing pages or site search built from your location data.
- You operate at enterprise scale with many locations and need per-location governance.

Frequently asked questions
Does Sentinova manage my Google Business Profile listing information?
No. Sentinova reads and replies to reviews on your Google Business Profile. It does not edit your hours, address, categories, or photos.
Is Sentinova a Yext alternative?
Not for listings management, which is most of what Yext does. For the review-management piece specifically, Sentinova is a far cheaper and more focused option.
