Where Elevate is different.
Listing marketing, built in.

AI that writes the follow-up.

Home data, with a receipt.

Fair questions.
Does Elevate sync with Follow Up Boss?
Not today. You can import your contacts by CSV, or the done-for-you setup moves everything over for you. If you keep both, Zapier can send each new Elevate lead to Follow Up Boss.
How does Elevate’s price compare with Follow Up Boss?
For a team that only needs a CRM, Elevate costs more. Follow Up Boss Pro is $416 a month for 10 users, and 10 Elevate seats are $990. Elevate makes sense when you’d otherwise pay for listing marketing, home data and AI tools on top.
Who owns Follow Up Boss?
Zillow Group. Follow Up Boss announced the purchase on November 1, 2023, and it closed on December 8, 2023.
