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

Showami — Pros & Cons

Pros

Pay-per-job pricing with no monthly subscription — agents pay only when they need coverage
Showings typically accepted in under 3 minutes in well-covered urban markets
Brokerage dashboard provides team analytics and centralized showing coordination
Mobile app on iOS and Android lets agents post requests and accept jobs on the go

Cons

Coverage is unreliable in rural and smaller markets — showings frequently go unaccepted
No MLS, lockbox software, or CRM integration requires manual coordination outside the app
Customer support ends at 8 p.m. Eastern, leaving West Coast teams without help during prime evening showing hours
Quality of dispatched agents varies with no standardized training — listing agents have limited visibility into how their property is presented
