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

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
