Pros and cons
Lofty

- 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
Real Geeks
- Published pricing, unusual for a platform with an IDX site included
- Cheap incremental seats at $25/mo for users 3 to 10
- Optional paid lead packages if you want leads delivered
- 24/7 US-based support and hands-on onboarding
- 6 or 12-month commitment, so no month-to-month escape
- $500 setup fee on top of the monthly
- No transaction management
- IDX feeds cost $10/mo per MLS board on top
What reviewers say
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.
Reviewers rate the website and lead-capture tooling well and value the transparent pricing. The commitment term and the setup fee are the most common objections.
Ratings are the aggregate scores published by G2 and Capterra, shown with their review counts so you can judge how much weight each one deserves.
