Yelp or a website?

Checked on 10 November 2026By Blinx TeamHow we compare

Keep your Yelp page if customers choose you there: the page is $0, with reviews, quote requests and Yelp's own search behind it. A Blinx page is one that shows your business alone, with your call bar, booking requests and Google reviews, for $5 a month or $46.80 a year, plus VAT at 20% for UK businesses, after a 15-day trial with no card. On Yelp's $0 page, other businesses' ads show unless you pay for Upgrade.

Full comparison

Blinx and Yelp, row by row

Every answer is in words, and the same answer looks the same on both sides. Blinx's plan limits sit in its own cells; Yelp's column describes its Upgrade plan, and its $0 plan where it differs.

**Checked on 10 November 2026. Blinx's prices are before VAT. Each Yelp price carries the tax basis its own page gives, or says it gives none, so the two may not be on the same basis.** How we chose these rows: 9 are the same on every comparison (price, the $0 plan, trial and card, one page or several, own domain, and what happens if you stop paying). The other 5 are rows for profiles most owners already have: features Yelp's own pages list, and features Blinx has, each answered for both: "No, checked" where a product has nothing like it, "Not published" where Yelp's pages do not mention it.

Which to choose

Yelp on its own, or with a Blinx page

Both lists are meant to be fair. Each reason given for Blinx is a checked difference, numbered to its source.

Yelp on its own is enough if

Your customers search Yelp to choose a business²
You want your reviews collected on Yelp²
You want quote requests and AI phone answering from Yelp²

Add a Blinx page if

You want a page that shows no other business: on Yelp's $0 page, other businesses' ads show unless you pay for Upgrade¹
You run a trade and want booking requests from your opening hours; Yelp's business page lists no booking for trades²
You want a WhatsApp button, on Pro; Yelp's business page lists none²

Yelp and Blinx: the usual questions

Do I need a website if I have a Yelp page?

Not to be found on Yelp: the page does that, with reviews and quote requests, at $0. A page of your own helps everywhere else, from your Google profile's website box to your van. A Blinx page shows your business alone, with your call bar, opening hours and Google reviews.

Why are there other businesses' ads on my Yelp page?

Yelp's pricing page says other businesses' ads show on a $0 page unless you pay for Upgrade, which was $180 a month when we checked on 10 November 2026, VAT basis not published. A Blinx page lists no other business and carries no advertising, on every plan.

Does a Blinx page take quote requests like Yelp?

It takes enquiries: every Blinx page has an enquiry form, on every plan, where a customer can say what they need. On Pro every enquiry waits in your inbox with the person's details; on basic you see how many are waiting, not who.

Can I keep my Yelp page and add a Blinx page?

Yes. They do different jobs: Yelp brings people who search Yelp, and your Blinx page is the address you hand out yourself, on your Google profile, your van and your cards. Nothing on Blinx changes your Yelp page.

Blinx in brief

$5 a month or $46.80 a year in US dollars, plus VAT at 20% for UK businesses, after a 15-day trial with no card. A page you do not pay for after the trial stays live on the basic plan, with fewer features. Stop paying at any time and nothing is deleted.
