Rankings
Every tool scored out of 100 on a published rubric.
Initial editorial scores. v1 scores come from desk research of vendor sites (Oct 2026), not hands-on testing yet. Each label changes to “Tested [date]” after a hands-on review. Sponsorship and affiliate status never change a score or rank.
Scoring rubric
Each tool is scored 1–5 on five criteria. Score = Σ(weight × criterion score) ÷ 5.
| Criterion | Weight | 5 = | 1 = |
|---|---|---|---|
| Realtor fit / usefulness | 30% | Solves a core, frequent agent job out of the box (MLS/CRM-aware, real-estate templates) | Generic; agent must adapt it heavily |
| Output quality | 25% | Client-ready output with little editing | Output needs heavy rework |
| Ease of use | 20% | A non-technical agent gets value in under 15 minutes | Needs setup help, training or a developer |
| Value for price | 15% | Free/cheap entry, clear pricing, pays for itself with 1 deal or a few hours saved | Expensive, opaque ("request pricing") or contract-locked |
| Integrations | 10% | Connects natively to CRM/MLS/Google/Zapier/MCP | Standalone; copy-paste only |
