Real estate happens outside the office—showings, open houses, inspections. A mobile CRM that works when cell signal falters or WiFi disappears can mean the difference between capturing a lead and losing it. We surveyed five platforms to see what vendors actually publish about mobile apps, offline functionality, and on-the-go reliability. Most platforms list mobile apps in their feature matrix; none publish detailed offline-mode specifications or sync-conflict behavior.
How we approached this
We reviewed vendor pricing pages, feature lists, and public documentation for Follow Up Boss, LionDesk, Wise Agent, Realvolve, and Contactually. For each platform, we looked for published claims about mobile apps, offline capability, sync logic, and field-use scenarios. Pricing is quoted exactly as listed on vendor sites; features not documented are noted as unknown. No firsthand field testing or agent interviews were conducted.
Follow Up Boss
Vendor feature list includes 'Mobile app' on all plans. No offline-mode details or sync specifications are published. The platform emphasizes lead organization, action-plan automation, and AI summaries/smart messages. Calling and texting are available as add-ons (Grow plan) or included (Pro and Platform plans).

Verdict
- Follow Up Boss if you need AI features (smart summaries, smart messages) and are willing to pay for calling/texting ($69/mo Grow + $39/user calling, or $499/mo Pro with calling included). Mobile app is listed; offline behavior is not documented.
- Wise Agent if you want flat-rate pricing with a mobile web app and are comfortable with shared logins ($49/mo or $499/yr for up to 5 team members). Texting and individual logins cost extra.
- Realvolve, LionDesk, or Contactually if you have specific workflow or integration needs—contact vendors directly for pricing and mobile-capability details.
What we'd skip
- Any platform that does not publish offline-mode or sync-conflict documentation if you regularly work in low-signal areas (rural showings, basement inspections). None of the platforms reviewed publish these specs.
- Follow Up Boss Grow plan without the calling add-on if you want AI features—AI summaries and smart messages rely on calling data, reducing utility on the base Grow plan.
- Wise Agent if you need individual user permissions without shared logins—each individual login costs an additional $20/mo.
