Cylex vs Sulekha

Cylex operates online business directories that help people find local services and help businesses promote their offerings. Profiles can show maps and route planning, opening hours, prices, menus, product and service catalogs, brochures, and leaflets. Users can read and write company reviews and request free quotes matched with relevant local businesses. For local search work, Cylex offers listing management, Google keyword tracking, AI-powered business descriptions, and a Local SEO Grid on PRO. Standard syncs with Google and Facebook; PRO also syncs with Apple, Bing, Instagram, and X. Bulk Upload accepts XLSX files and publishes listings across Cylex and affiliated directories including FindOpen and Firmania. Uploads below 10 entries incur a $10.00 processing fee; uploads of 10 or more do not. The business listing and Local SEO Standard plans each cost nothing. Local SEO PRO costs $20 a month per location. Cylex was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Oradea, Romania.

Sulekha connects people seeking local services with professionals in areas such as home services, education, and events. It groups services under Home, Life, and Self, including customized expert services, and matches customer needs with providers using details such as service type and location preference. People can use the web service or its Android and iOS apps. Providers can create free business listings, add customer reviews and portfolio photos, and use a business app to select services and localities or pause and restart lead flow. Under its Pay Per Lead model, customer enquiries go to matching providers, and a provider's package balance is deducted when the provider accepts a lead. Prices vary by request type and location, while availability varies by category; trial users may not receive leads in some categories where paid packages receive priority. New business profiles must submit required documents for verification before trial leads begin. Sulekha also offers a ProManage plan shown at $0.20 a month, billed starting at Rs. 2000 per month. Its privacy policy says personal information may be shared in response to a service inquiry.
