Quick verdict

BoldTrail suits brokerages and large teams, but publishes no pricing at all, so budgeting means booking a sales call first. BoomTown suits large teams with real ad budgets, but publishes no pricing at all, so budgeting means booking a sales call first. The deciding factor is usually whether you need leads and a website supplied for you, or you already have those and just need the follow-up to be airtight.
