Aligned Showings — Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Brokerage analytics stronger than ShowingTime's
  • Independent ownership (non-Zillow)
  • Agent accountability dashboards
  • Modern UI

Cons

  • Smaller market share than ShowingTime
  • Regional MLS coverage varies
  • Newer entrant — shorter track record

BrokerBay — Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Native integration with both Supra and SentriLock lockboxes covers the two dominant lockbox ecosystems without third-party bridges
  • Brokerage analytics dashboard tracks showing volume, feedback rates, and listing performance down to office and team level
  • Included in core MLS service at participating boards — agents pay nothing out of pocket for base scheduling features
  • Hierarchical permissioning (franchise → regional → brokerage → office → team → agent) suits complex multi-tier organizations

Cons

  • Direct brokerage pricing of $8 per active listing per month scales steeply for high-inventory offices not on an MLS-sponsored plan
  • Platform availability is entirely MLS- or brokerage-dependent — agents in non-partner markets have no self-serve path to adoption
  • Feedback submissions cannot include photos, leaving a gap when buyers want to document property conditions during showings
  • Offer management is absent from the showing workflow, requiring agents to context-switch to a separate tool for offers
