Homebot alternatives for real estate agents

Homebot emails your clients a monthly report on what their home is worth, and its agent plans cost $25 to $100 a month. Its pages don't describe sharing a list of contractors with clients. For a list of your people, look at HomeKeepr, a spreadsheet or Proferral. Fello fits if you want a bigger database tool.

What does Homebot do for real estate agents?

Homebot sends each client a Home Digest, a report on their home's value and equity. Its help center says homeowners get two emails a month through Homebot, the Home Digest Update and Your Market Updates, and that you can't change how often they go out. If a client stops opening them for a few months, Homebot cuts the digest to quarterly until they come back.

Homebot's homepage says it serves loan officers, real estate agents, insurance agents and title agents. Its agent page offers postcards, door knockers and a score for how likely each client is to sell. The Partner and Team plans add a home search for clients and a mobile app on iOS and Android.

How much does Homebot cost for agents, and is it free for realtors?

No, Homebot's own agent plans aren't free, but there is one free way in. Its agent pricing page lists Solo at $50 a month plus a one-time $50 setup fee, for up to 250 clients. Partner is $25 a month plus the same setup fee, and it requires a lender co-sponsor. Team is $100 a month for 500 clients and two agent profiles, and every plan adds clients in blocks of 100 at $10 a month per block.

The free way in is through a loan officer. Homebot's help center says preferred agent status is free, that you don't need a Homebot account for it, and that your branding then appears on the Homebot reports sent to the loan officer's clients.

Does Homebot let real estate agents share a list of recommended vendors with homeowners?

No, Homebot's pages don't describe one. Its Homebot Network connects real estate agents, loan officers, insurance agents and title professionals around shared clients, and the post that announces it doesn't mention contractors or home service businesses. Homebot's help center says a report may show a client's past preferred professional, and it names an agent or a lender as the co-sponsor who appears most prominently.

So Homebot answers "what's my house worth?" and leaves "who do you use for a roofer?" to you. If your clients ask the second question, you need something else alongside it, and our guide to what a preferred vendor list is covers what goes on one.

How do the Homebot alternatives differ?

They split into tools that keep your name in front of past clients and tools that hand them your people. Each summary below comes from the company's own pages, checked October 20, 2026.

What is Fello?

Fello is closer to Homebot than anything else here. Its homepage says it brings your database to life and runs one-to-one follow-up across email, text and calls through Felix, and its pricing page lists a homeowner dashboard on every plan. Plans start at $499 a month for Growth, or $415 a month billed annually, and go up to $2,000 a month for Enterprise. Its pages we checked don't mention vendors or home service pros.

What is HomeKeepr?

HomeKeepr gives homeowners a portal for their home, and its pricing page says the Starter plan lets you add your own vendors as the recommended vendor in that portal. The page names four plans and shows no prices, apart from a promo code for $9.95 a month. We cover it in more detail in HomeKeepr alternatives.

Is a spreadsheet enough?

It can be. A shared spreadsheet costs nothing and holds names and numbers fine, but it won't tell you who your client hired, and it can get buried in their inbox. Vendor list spreadsheet vs app goes through the tradeoff.

When is Homebot the right choice?

Choose Homebot if you want past clients to hear from you every month without writing each email yourself, and a home value report is a good reason to show up in their inbox. It also fits if you already work with a loan officer who pays for it and adds you as the preferred agent. Then you get the monthly touch at no cost to you.

Fello is the better match if you run a team with a large database and want follow-up handled by email, text and call. Neither tool's pages describe handing a client a plumber's number.

A home value report and a list of your people do different jobs

Homebot's job is the house: what it's worth and when the owner might sell. A Proferral go-to list is about the people your client calls once they live there. There is no app to keep. It is a link and a contact card, and every provider card your client forwards carries your name and a link to the rest of your list.

The two can sit side by side. You keep the monthly report, and the next time a client asks for an electrician, you send the link. A check-in you send from your own phone or email then asks whether they hired the electrician.

What are Proferral's limits next to Homebot?

Proferral doesn't send home value reports, and it won't email your clients every month on its own. It works in any browser today, and the iPhone and Android apps are coming, but we can't give you a date. License checks against state rosters cover Oregon and Washington only.

Free has no time limit and needs no credit card, and Pro is $24 a month (see pricing). No provider pays to be listed, and Proferral takes no referral fees. For the wider field of vendor list tools, see vendor list apps for realtors, compared.
