Vistage
CEOs, business owners and senior executives of companies with US$5 million or more in annual revenue.
YPO
Chief executives who joined before their 45th birthday and lead companies that meet YPO's published employee and revenue tests.
YPO and Vistage are compared by chief executives who qualify for both — typically leaders of companies above US$16 million in revenue who are still under 45. YPO is a member-governed organization with an age ceiling, company-size tests, published global dues and initiation, unpublished chapter dues, and a forum inside a chapter with a global calendar and extensive family programming. Vistage is a company whose independent Chairs select and facilitate groups of twelve to sixteen executives and provide one-to-one coaching; it frames its core programme around companies of US$5 million or more, has no age limit, admits non-owner executives on separate tracks, and publishes no price.

Vistage frames its core member as generating "$5M+ in annual revenue" and facing the operational complexity that comes with that scale; separate programmes exist for non-CEO executives and emerging leaders. | Members are the top operating executive of their company or division, with full profit-and-loss accountability and hire/fire authority. Qualifying companies are mid-market and larger: at least 50 full-time employees, or 15 employees plus USD 2.75 million of annual employee compensation, with revenue tests from USD 13 million upward depending on business type. |

YPO tends to suit chief executives who qualify before 45 and want membership of a global peer organization with events and family programming as much as a monthly group. Vistage tends to suit executives of any age who want professional facilitation and coaching, and who will evaluate the specific Chair before joining. Executives over 45 who would have qualified for YPO on company size are often comparing Vistage with Chief Executives Organization or with industry-specific CEO networks instead.
