IXACT Contact — Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Done-for-you monthly e-newsletter included at no extra cost, reducing ongoing effort for past-client marketing
  • Keep-in-touch calendar with anniversary, birthday, and milestone reminders makes consistent follow-up systematic
  • No long-term contract required — monthly plans start at $55 with a free trial available
  • Well-rated mobile app makes contact management and field-based call logging practical for active agents

Cons

  • API and Zapier integrations are limited, creating manual data-entry headaches when routing leads from Zillow or Realtor.com portals
  • Desktop interface is dated compared to modern competitors like Follow Up Boss or Lofty — no visual pipeline view or drag-and-drop workflow builder
  • Customer support has shifted largely to email-only, with multiple users citing slow or unresponsive assistance on technical issues
  • No document management or transaction tools built in, requiring a separate product like dotloop or Skyslope for the full agent workflow
