Bottom Line

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LionDesk or RAS better for solo agents?

For a solo agent who needs more than just contact management, RAS is the better choice. It includes buyer matching, seller workflows, client portals, and AI insights that LionDesk doesn't have — all at $99/month flat.

Does LionDesk have a buyer matching feature?

No. LionDesk is a contact-focused CRM. RAS includes a dedicated buyer-listing match engine that automatically scores your active listings against each buyer's preferences and budget.

What does RAS have that LionDesk doesn't?

RAS adds: a buyer-listing match engine, branded client portals, seller intelligence tracking, AI next-best-actions, a Chrome extension to scrape Zillow/Redfin listings, MLS listing management, and a document vault — none of which LionDesk includes in its base price.
