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

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
