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 websites and funnels, prebuilt AI chatbots on the AI Autopilot plan, 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.
Cycl Sales is the better fit for investors, wholesalers, agents, and small businesses that want AI across the whole business (on the AI Autopilot plan), flat pricing that is not per seat, and a system someone builds for them; Lofty is the better fit for residential agents and teams whose main need is IDX websites and agent-focused AI lead generation. Lofty is excellent at what it focuses on.
The Cycl Sales AI Autopilot plan adds prebuilt AI chatbots that answer leads across SMS, email & live chat, plus AI that reads documents and images.
Cycl Sales lets you add your whole team on one flat price, with no escalating tiers or per-user bills as you grow.
Every Cycl Sales plan comes preconfigured for your industry, and an optional done-for-you build team can set up everything for you.
Cycl Sales is 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.
