Lofty (formerly Chime) is a capable, agent-focused real estate CRM with IDX websites and AI lead generation. Cycl Sales is an all-in-one AI platform built for investors, agents, and local businesses, with prebuilt AI chatbots, websites and funnels, an optional done-for-you build team, and flat pricing that is not per seat. Here is an honest, side-by-side look so you can pick the right fit.
Lofty is excellent at agent lead generation and IDX. Investors, agents, and small businesses move to Cycl Sales when they want real AI across the whole business, flat pricing, and a system someone builds for them.
AI chatbots answer leads across SMS, email & live chat, plus AI that reads documents and images.
Add your whole team on one price. No escalating tiers or per-user bills as you grow.
Your plan comes preconfigured for your industry, and an optional done-for-you build team can set up everything for you.
Tuned for investors, agents, wholesalers, and local businesses, not agent-only workflows.

Lofty was great for our agents, but I run an investing business too, and by the time we added seats the per-seat bill got hard to justify. Cycl Sales gave us the AI and automation we actually use at a flat price, and they built the whole thing for us.
I liked Lofty's lead nurture, but I did not have time to configure everything myself. Cycl Sales came built, the AI answers buyer and seller leads instantly, and my team all works from one login without me paying per seat.
What sold me was the AI actually answering leads at 11pm and the websites and funnels being built in for me. As a wholesaler I needed more than an agent tool, and here the whole build was done for us with support that picks up every time.
Cycl Sales runs on the GoHighLevel platform, so every feature and improvement GoHighLevel ships becomes available to you automatically. You are never waiting on a single vendor's roadmap to catch up.
