Platform Comparison

Legacy Marketing Agency
vs. AI-Powered Platform

Hibu is a legacy Yellow Pages company that added digital services. AdIQ was built AI-native from the ground up — with smarter technology, transparent pricing, and capabilities Hibu simply doesn't have.

The AdIQ Advantage

What Hibu Can't Do

AdIQ was built for modern marketing from day one. These are the capabilities that separate an AI-native platform from a legacy agency.

AI-Built Websites

Hibu's "Smart Sites" are template-based. AdIQ builds custom websites with AI, and you can request changes through chat — updates go live within 24 hours. No waiting on support tickets.

AI Call Intelligence

Our AI receptionist answers calls 24/7, trained on your business. Every call is scored 1-10 with sentiment analysis and outcome tracking. Hibu offers zero call intelligence.

AI Search Visibility

Track where your business appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. Hibu doesn't track AI search at all. As AI search grows, this visibility becomes critical.

11-Source Lead Tracking

Website, phone, SMS, Google Business, Yelp, Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, and AI search — all in one dashboard. Hibu's reporting covers far fewer lead sources.

Video Production

Elite plans include 4 professional videos per month plus TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Hibu focuses on traditional digital — no video content creation at all.

Transparent Pricing

AdIQ publishes prices on our website: $299, $399, or $599/mo. Hibu requires a sales call and doesn't disclose pricing upfront. You know exactly what you're paying before you sign up.
