Listlio vs Lofty
An all-in-one real estate platform (formerly Chime) combining CRM, IDX websites, advertising and AI-assisted follow-up.
Short answer
Lofty is stronger if you want advertising management and an IDX website bundled with your CRM, and you are buying at team or brokerage scale. Listlio is stronger if your problem is producing marketing content and keeping a pipeline prioritised, and you would rather not pay for a website and ad platform you already have elsewhere.

Questions people ask
What is the main difference between Listlio and Lofty?
Scope. Lofty aims to be the whole front end of a real estate business — website, ads, lead capture and CRM. Listlio deliberately does not build a website or run ads; it concentrates on the AI layer that sits on top of the leads and listings you already have: matching, prioritisation, and content production across a dozen channels.
Does Listlio have an AI assistant like Lofty's?
Both have AI, but they are aimed at different jobs. Lofty's AI is strongest at follow-up sequencing and conversational lead qualification. Listlio's assistant is a context-aware agent over your own database — it can update a property price, draft a specific client message, create tasks, or compare listings for a buyer, because it reads your live portfolio and pipeline.
Can I import my data from Lofty into Listlio?
Yes. Listlio imports leads and contacts from CSV, which every major CRM including Lofty can export. Property records can be imported the same way. If you are moving a whole brokerage, contact us and we will help map the columns before you commit to the migration.
Is Listlio cheaper than Lofty?
It depends on what you are replacing. Listlio starts at $49/month for solo agents and includes AI content generation, lead matching and task automation in the same subscription. If you currently pay for a CRM plus a separate copywriting tool plus a staging or video service, the comparison is usually favourable. If you only need contact storage, a cheaper single-purpose CRM will win on price.
Do I have to stop using Lofty to try Listlio?
No. Listlio has a 14-day free trial with no credit card, and importing a CSV of your leads does not affect your existing system. Most people run both for a couple of weeks before deciding.
