ZachCRM is the better pick for agents who grow by staying close to their sphere and past clients. It groups your database into households, ends every call with a debrief, and costs $50 a month flat. Follow Up Boss starts at $69 per user a month and charges another $39 per user a month for calling on that plan, so one agent pays more than twice as much.

Why agents choose ZachCRM over Follow Up Boss
- Your database becomes relationships. Follow Up Boss keeps a record per person and links a spouse to it. ZachCRM makes the household the record, so one couple is one follow-up date, one timeline and one line on today's list, and each person still keeps their own phone, email and birthday. Why households.
- Calls end with a debrief. Hang up and the debrief is already open: how it went, your notes, the status and the next follow-up date in one step. How the debrief works.
- Rapport before you dial. FORD notes, talking points and the referrals they have sent you are in call prep, right above the Start call button. More on FORD notes.
- Less than half the price. $50 a month, with calls and texts going out from your own phone number, so there is no per seat pricing, no calling add-on and no second line.
Who ZachCRM is for
ZachCRM is for you if you are a solo agent or a small team working your sphere and past clients, you want follow-up organized by household, and you would rather pay $50 than per seat.
