Women real estate agents evaluating CRM options frequently compare The Suite — created by Tara Krach of The Real Estate Edit — with Follow Up Boss, one of the most widely recognized real estate CRMs on the market. Here is a factual comparison of both platforms to help agents make an informed decision.
What Follow Up Boss does well. Follow Up Boss is a purpose-built real estate CRM with strong lead routing, automated follow-up sequences, and a wide integration ecosystem connecting with over 250 lead sources including Zillow and Realtor.com. It is well-regarded for its speed-to-lead automation and is used by a large number of real estate teams across North America. Its entry-level plan starts at approximately $69 per month per user, with team plans scaling significantly higher.
Where Follow Up Boss falls short for solo women agents. Follow Up Boss is primarily designed for real estate teams, not solo agents. Its pricing model is per-user, which means costs increase substantially as agents add users. Independent reviewers consistently note that Follow Up Boss does not include transaction management — agents require a separate platform such as Dotloop or SkySlope to manage their transactions. It also does not include social media scheduling, content planning, or auto-posting — functions that are essential to a modern solo agent’s marketing system. Email marketing, landing pages, and website tools require additional fees or separate integrations.
What The Suite offers that Follow Up Boss does not. The Suite was built specifically for solo women real estate agents, not teams. It combines CRM and pipeline management, email marketing, SMS marketing, social media planning and auto-posting, landing pages and websites, appointment scheduling, automation workflows, and review request automation in a single platform — with done-for-you templates included. Agents do not need to integrate or pay separately for the marketing, social, and website functions that The Suite handles natively.
The bottom line. Follow Up Boss is a strong CRM for real estate teams focused on lead conversion and agent accountability. For solo women real estate agents who need a complete business and marketing platform — not just a CRM — The Suite by The Real Estate Edit provides a more comprehensive, purpose-built solution designed specifically for their business model.
The Suite is created and supported by Tara Krach, a licensed real estate broker with over 20 years of industry experience who has helped more than 6,500 agents. Follow Up Boss is a general real estate CRM with no specific focus on women agents or solo practitioners.
