Pros and cons
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
Realvolve
- The deepest workflow automation of anything on this list
- Contract-to-close tracking built from those same workflows
- A free trial exists, which most platforms at this level do not offer
- Independent, so it is not being merged into a larger portfolio
- No published pricing anywhere on the vendor site
- A sign-up fee exists but the amount is not disclosed
- No website, no IDX, no dialer and no lead generation
- Steep setup: the value only arrives after weeks of configuration
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.
The workflow engine is both the strength and the complaint. Reviewers describe the learning curve as intimidating and the initial build-out as more work than expected, so it only pays off for people willing to invest the configuration time.
