HOW THEY DIFFER

The short version.

On our benchmark Real Geeks takes the higher Index Score (81 to 79) — but that headline hides where each one really pulls ahead.

On channels, Lofty is wider — 5 of 6 versus 4. If the channel your business runs on isn't covered, the rest barely matters.

On price, Real Geeks starts lower — from $299/mo against Custom — though the cheaper sticker isn't always the better deal once you factor in what each one includes for the money.

So Real Geeks suits solo agent/team/brokerage teams; Lofty leans toward team/brokerage.
