Pros and cons
IXACT Contact
- By far the lowest price of any platform here, at under $47 a month
- The only genuinely month-to-month option with no contract at all
- Professionally written monthly newsletters included, not an add-on
- A real native mobile app rather than a web wrapper
- No lead generation, no dialer and no transaction management
- True IDX search costs $50/mo more on top
- Texting is a metered add-on rather than included
- The vendor contradicts itself on how long the free trial lasts
Lofty
- Genuinely broad: website, CRM, workflows and paid lead generation in one place
- 200+ integrations, among the widest here
- Support available seven days a week
- Large review base, so the feedback is well-tested
- No published pricing and no free trial
- Heavily add-on based, so the demo price and the invoice can diverge
- The dialer is an upgrade rather than part of the platform
- Lowest satisfaction score of the big all-in-one platforms here
What reviewers say
Reviews are strong overall but a minority report support emails going unanswered for days. More concretely, some users report mass emails failing to reach iCloud, AOL and Yahoo recipients, and occasional problems with Google contact sync.
The most common criticism is not slow support but inaccurate support, with reviewers describing front-line staff who do not know the product well. The second recurring theme is the gap between what the demo implies is included and what turns out to be a paid add-on.
