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
Sierra Interactive
- Publishes its full price list including setup fees, which is rare here
- No setup fee at all if you pay annually up front
- Seat costs fall steeply as a team grows, down to $5 per user at scale
- Built around owning your lead source rather than renting one
- Highest entry price here for a single user
- A 12-month agreement on every plan, with no month-to-month option
- No transaction management
- Its review base is tiny, so there is little independent evidence either way
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.
There is very little independent review data on Sierra, which is itself worth knowing. What exists praises the website and SEO strength and questions whether the entry price is justified against cheaper rivals.
