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
Showami — Pros & Cons

- ✓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
