Should you switch?

An honest split — when FlowForce is the better fit and when staying put makes sense.

Choose FlowForce if…

  • Modern cadence builder with SMS, email, and call steps
  • Ask Flow on full lead history
  • Parallel dialer for inside sales and ISAs
  • 90-day buyer nurture templates
  • Free tier for solo agents; Pro from CA$20/seat/mo billed yearly with usage wallet
  • CSV export and migration support — you own your contact data

Keep LionDesk if…

  • You only need simple contact management with minimal automation.
  • Video email is a daily workflow LionDesk still handles well.
  • You are locked into LionDesk integrations that FlowForce has not matched yet.
  • Your brokerage standardizes on another RE platform already.

Why teams leave LionDesk

  • 1You want multi-channel cadences beyond basic email blasts.
  • 2Solo agents graduating to a small ISA team need dialer + CRM together.
  • 3AI drafts and meeting summaries save hours on buyer follow-up.
  • 4LionDesk per-seat pricing stacks when you add dialer and automation add-ons.
  • 5You need clearer data ownership and export paths before renewing a legacy contract.

From teams that switched

Open houses used to mean a sticky paper sign-in sheet and zero follow-up. With FlowForce, every visitor gets the right listings on Sunday morning and I'm booking three showings a week without lifting a finger.
