Follow Up Boss is a focused, well-loved CRM for real estate teams. Cycl Sales is an all-in-one AI platform, so your CRM, website, funnels, texting, and automated follow-up live in one plan, with AI follow-up on AI Autopilot and a team that builds it for you.
Follow Up Boss is the better fit for teams that want a focused agent CRM and already have tools they like, and Cycl Sales is the better fit for teams that want CRM, website, funnels, and texting in one plan that is not priced per seat, with AI follow-up on the AI Autopilot plan. Here is what teams gain when the rest of the stack comes along for the ride.
Cycl Sales is billed per account rather than per seat, so you can add agents without your CRM bill multiplying with every new seat.
Cycl Sales puts CRM, website, funnels, texting, and automation in a single platform instead of five tools.
Cycl Sales uses automated nurture, plus AI chatbots on the AI Autopilot plan, to answer and work leads while your team sleeps.
Every Cycl Sales plan comes preconfigured for your industry, and an optional done-for-you build team can set up everything for you.

We loved our CRM, but we were still paying for a website, a dialer, and three marketing tools on top of it. Cycl Sales rolled all of it into one plan and stopped charging us for every new agent.
The AI answers new leads at 11pm before I even see the notification. My follow-up used to slip through the cracks. Now it just does not, and the team built the whole thing for me.
As a wholesaler I run a lot of lists and a lot of texts. Having the CRM, funnels, and automation in one place instead of duct-taping tools together saved me hours every single week.
