Criteria where CINC wins

Score by criterion

In green, who wins the criterion. The overall score uses real estate weights: inventory and proposal and native messaging weigh more.

CriterionFollow Up BossCINC

Inventory and proposal1.3×
Property cards or unit inventory, matching to the lead, and a commercial proposal without a parallel spreadsheet.
6.0
7.0
Mortgage credit0.7×
Simulate a purchase mortgage (or a builder’s loan pipeline) without sending the client to another portal. Tenant screening is not mortgage credit.
2.5
2.5
Leasing and post-sale1.2×
Lease, collections, owner statements, or post-close assistance. A “won” stage in the funnel is not portfolio administration.
5.5
5.5
Native messaging1.3×
Native SMS or messaging inbox on the lead card, with team history. WhatsApp Business API also counts. Marketplace apps, extensions, and website buttons do not.
8.8
8.0
Price and transparency0.9×
Public plan in USD, trial, and what sits outside the monthly fee. A mandatory add-on for day-to-day work lowers the score.
8.6
4.0
Learning curve0.8×
English UI, listing and showing vocabulary, and time until an agent can work without a long implementation project.
