Why agents choose ZachCRM over BoldTrail
- A price you can see, at under a tenth of the cost. ZachCRM is $50 a month with a 14-day free trial you start yourself. No demo, no quote and no setup fee. Reviewers put BoldTrail at about $499 a month for a solo agent plus $999 to set up, which is about $6,987 in the first year against $600 for ZachCRM.
- Your database stays yours. ZachCRM is your own account. Export your households any time, and your records and files stay with you when you change brokerages. If your BoldTrail access comes through your brokerage, it is worth asking what happens to your database when you leave.
- Your database becomes relationships. People who live and buy together are one household with one follow-up date and one timeline. Why households.
- Simple enough to keep up. Every call ends with a short debrief, so the CRM stays current without a Sunday night catch-up. How the debrief works.
