Instashowing — Pros & Cons

Pros

Month-to-month pricing from $15/mo with no annual contract required
Premium tier ($49/mo) bundles offer management, open house sign-in, and buyer license verification in one tool
Buyer tour route planner lets agents map, reorder stops, and share a live tour link with clients
Brokerage plan includes agent messaging and a broker dashboard for team-wide showing oversight

Cons

No native mobile app on individual or brokerage plans — web-based only; native app reserved for MLS-tier enterprise customers
MLS listing auto-sync unavailable for individual and brokerage plans — requires a custom MLS organization contract
Thin third-party review base (13 Capterra reviews) versus thousands for ShowingTime, limiting independent validation
No lockbox integration on any plan — agents must manage access codes manually outside the platform

Knock CRM — Pros & Cons

Pros

Knock Now self-scheduling cuts leasing team burden — communities report 2.5× tour volume gains without added ad spend
Unified inbox combining email, text, voice, and chat reduces missed prospects and speeds response time
Knock Insights provides granular benchmarking by property and by agent, giving portfolio operators clear performance visibility
Knock Mobile enables leasing agents to manage tasks, prospects, and metrics remotely from any device

Cons

No transparent pricing; demo-only sales process requires extended negotiation typical of enterprise software
Built exclusively for multifamily apartments — single-family rentals, home sales, and commercial properties are unsupported
Post-RealPage acquisition users report slower product development and support quality compared to pre-acquisition days
No native lockbox or MLS integration, requiring custom API work for teams wanting to connect hardware access control or listing data
