Opendi International

What Opendi International does

Opendi International AG operates a global network of local business directories and review platforms across 36 countries. The platform aggregates 66.5 million business entities and 2.5 million user reviews, serving approximately 4.5 million monthly visitors through country-specific domains (e.g., opendi.de, opendi.fr, opendi.jp) and localized sub-brands such as Stadtbranchenbuch in the DACH region. The underlying technology combines public-record data ingestion with synchronized feeds from major location-data platforms including Yext, Uberall, Synup, and 11880, distributed across a multi-language infrastructure supporting ten or more languages.

The company is built on a self-serve, product-led growth model: businesses can register, edit, or remove listings through country-specific service portals (service.opendi.xx) at no cost. The revenue model is described as marketplace/commission-style with no public pricing disclosed, and no enterprise SaaS tier, paywall, or advertising products are documented in available materials. Customer-facing product is a single unified horizontal directory targeted at small and medium-sized businesses seeking online visibility, with 2.5 million reviews layered on top to support local search and discovery.

Opendi is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, investors, or parent company, and is operated by a lean team of 1–10 employees led by CEO Andreas Stahl from its Munich headquarters (HRB 191847). The copyright notice extends through 2026, indicating continuous operation since its 2006 founding, with strategic emphasis placed on geographic breadth, organic SEO via country-domain SEO authority, and publisher-partner distribution rather than direct sales or marketing investment.

Direct peers

• Yelp: Yelp is a leading consumer-facing local business directory and review platform. Like Opendi, it aggregates business listings and user reviews for local discovery, though it focuses more heavily on the U.S. market and has a stronger consumer brand.
• 11880: 11880 is Germany's leading business directory and is also a Data Partner for Opendi in the DACH market. Both operate phonebook-style business directories with verified listings and reviews, serving overlapping geographies and customer segments.
• Cylex: Cylex operates local business directories across multiple European and Latin American countries. It is highly comparable to Opendi in its multi-country directory model, business listings, and review aggregation.
• Hotfrog: Hotfrog is a global small-business directory and online presence platform. It shares Opendi's SMB-focused, multi-country directory model and category-based business discovery.
• Kompass: Kompass is an international business directory and B2B marketplace with extensive country-level coverage. It competes with Opendi in providing structured business listings across many geographies.
• Yellow Pages (Yell.com): Yell.com is the digital evolution of the Yellow Pages, operating a UK-focused business directory with paid listings and reviews. It is comparable to Opendi in directory model and SMB targeting.
• Foursquare: Foursquare operates a location-based business discovery platform with rich POI data and reviews. While more app-centric, it overlaps with Opendi in local business discovery and structured location data.

Broad incumbents

• Yext: Yext is a larger, enterprise-focused digital knowledge management platform and a Core Publishing Partner for Opendi. It overlaps thematically in structured business listings but is B2B-focused and serves a different customer segment.
• Uberall: Uberall is a location marketing platform for multi-location brands and a Core Publishing Partner for Opendi. It shares the structured-listing ecosystem but focuses on enterprise multi-location marketing rather than SMB directory listings.

Emerging players

• Trustpilot: Trustpilot is a leading consumer review platform with global reach. It overlaps with Opendi in the review-aggregation component of its value proposition but does not operate as a broad business directory.
