The report card

Best for a real estate CRM and website for agents

Market Leader sells a real estate CRM with a website, marketing tools and optional lead packages. Teams is $329 a month for up to 10 members, but the single-agent plan has no published price and the lead products are priced separately.

ToolGPA report cardMarket LeaderGraded Nov 13, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyC$329 a month for up to 10 team members, about $33 a head, which is near the category middle of $29. Professional for one agent has no published price.
Free plan and trialFNo free plan and no trial on record, so the first step is a demo or a quote.
FeaturesCCRM, automated lead engagement, lead intel, a marketing center and websites with MLS listings. Lead generation is a separate product, and larger teams are not priced.
Ease of useCNo store rating on record. A website, lead routing and campaigns need setting up.
Platforms and integrationsBWeb with Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com links. A mobile app is mentioned, but its platforms are not named.
Grade point averageWeak, out of 4.01.8

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who Market Leader is for

  • Fits if you lead a small real estate team and want a shared CRM and website
  • Works for agents who want Zillow and Realtor.com leads in one system

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if you are a solo agent who wants a price, as Professional is quoted on a call
  • Pricey if your team is over 10, since the page does not say what more people cost
  • Watch out: lead generation packages are sold apart from the Teams price
  • Watch out: the phone platforms for its mobile app are not named

Good to know

Good for

  • Individual agents who want a CRM, website and nurture campaigns from one vendor
  • Small real estate teams that need shared contacts and lead routing
  • Agents who also want to buy exclusive leads delivered into the CRM

Worth knowing

  • Professional has no published price: the vendor says it quotes pricing after a consultation.
  • The lead generation products are separate offerings with their own pricing, not part of the Teams price.
  • The vendor lists a mobile app but its pages do not say which phone platforms it supports.
  • The Teams page prices up to 10 members at $329 and does not say what a larger team pays.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace Market Leader you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 80 of the 116 other CRM tools grade higher. It costs $3,948 a year.

What you could make

  • Sales pipeline: an app builder makes this well.

What you could not

  • Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
  • Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
  • Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.

What this rests on. Market Leader’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
