BrokerBay vs NterNow
BrokerBay is a cloud-based showing management platform — backed by Supra's lockbox ecosystem — that lets brokerages, MLSs, and franchise networks schedule, manage, and analyze property showings from a single dashboard.
$8/listing/mo (direct brokerage)
NterNow powers self-guided home tours — buyers book and access vacant properties on-demand via secure, single-use codes on smart locks, no agent required. Backed by Allegion (Schlage's parent), it adds government ID verification and visitor analytics to every unaccompanied showing.

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
NterNow — Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓On-demand access captures buyer leads 24/7, including evenings and weekends when agents are unavailable
- ✓Government ID verification and single-use access codes protect sellers' properties during unaccompanied tours
- ✓Visitor behavior analytics (time on property, room dwell data) give sales teams insight no traditional showing scheduler provides
- ✓Allegion/Schlage ownership ensures deep hardware integration and long-term platform stability
Cons
- ✗No public pricing — enterprise demo required, making cost comparison difficult for small teams or individual agents
- ✗No MLS integration; each listing must be manually configured, adding admin overhead for resale-focused brokerages
- ✗Requires compatible smart-lock hardware (Schlage, Yale) or Alarm.com already installed — retrofit cost falls on seller or brokerage
- ✗No structured post-tour feedback collection; competing platforms like ShowingTime and BrokerBay include built-in buyer feedback workflows
