This guide compares 11 platforms on what they include, how they handle the website and the CRM, and what they publish about pricing, so you can build a shortlist quickly. If you’re still learning how IDX websites work, start with our complete guide to IDX websites.
How do you choose an IDX website platform?
Most comparisons start with design. Start with these six questions instead. They’re what decide whether a site produces business a year from now.
- Do you want the website and CRM in one system? When the IDX website and the CRM are one platform, every registration, saved search, and viewed listing lands in your follow-up system automatically. If you already run a CRM you’re happy with, a website or lead generation platform that integrates with it may be enough.
- Hosted platform or WordPress? A hosted, real-estate-specific platform handles hosting, updates, and IDX compliance for you. WordPress gives you more control and more maintenance. Our comparison of whether a WordPress plugin or a purpose-built platform fits walks through the trade-off.
- How good is the search, and how current is the data? Ask how often the site refreshes from your MLS and whether your MLS’s feed is supported. If you want the background, here’s how IDX feeds work.
- Is the platform built to rank, or built around paid leads? Some platforms center on organic search, with community pages, editable SEO fields, and indexable listing pages. Others center on managed ad campaigns. Both can work, but they produce different kinds of leads at different costs. See what IDX SEO requires.
- Will it scale with the team? Look at user seats, agent subdomains or agent sites, multiple MLS feeds, and lead routing.
- What does it cost over a year? Compare monthly fees, setup fees, contract terms, per-user fees, ad management fees, and any separate CRM subscription together, not just the headline monthly price.
Use these alongside our list of must-have IDX features when you sit down for demos.

Which IDX website platforms are worth a look?
1. Sierra Interactive
Best for: teams and brokerages that want an SEO-focused IDX website and a CRM in one platform.
Sierra describes its product as “real estate websites that come with a CRM, lead capture, and SEO tools built in.” Every lead from the website syncs automatically to Sierra’s CRM, so search activity and registrations are part of the lead record from the start.
What stands out for teams:
- Five website templates, each designed around a lead generation focus, with custom design available as a paid service
- A built-in dialer and mobile app on every plan
- Unlimited community pages on the Essential 1.0 and Growth plans
- Multiple MLS feeds on a single site (geographic restrictions apply)
- Sierra hosts the site and manages DNS
Pricing (November 2026): Essentials, for one user, is $359.95/mo with annual prepay or $424.95/mo billed monthly plus a $500 setup fee. Growth, for five users, is $599.95/mo with annual prepay or $724.95/mo billed monthly plus a $500 setup fee. Setup is waived with annual prepay, and both plans include the dialer and mobile app. Teams that need more than one user can also choose Essential 1.0.

2. AgentFire
AgentFire builds hyperlocal websites on WordPress. Rather than featuring its own CRM, its pricing page highlights integrations with tools like Follow Up Boss, Lofty, and Zapier. IDX is included in its plans, not counting MLS pass-through fees.
Pricing (as listed on AgentFire’s site, November 2026): A one-time setup fee of $800, $2,750, or $6,500 depending on the design tier, plus $165/mo (Pro) or $215/mo (Plus). No long-term contracts.

3. AgentLoft
Best for: teams already running Follow Up Boss that want an SEO and lead generation website with published pricing.

Keep more commissions.” It provides an IDX property search website with automatically generated pages and lead capture, and it claims “proven SEO that drives organic traffic.” It doesn’t include its own CRM. In its words, “AgentLoft generates and qualifies. FUB is where agents follow up and convert,” through a two-way sync with Follow Up Boss.
Pricing (as listed on AgentLoft’s site, November 2026): Starter $299/mo (1 user), Growth $499/mo (10 users), and Pro $799/mo (30 users), billed annually, plus a one-time setup fee charged when you go live. Follow Up Boss is a separate subscription.

7. Follow Up Boss
Best for: teams that want a dedicated, widely integrated CRM and plan to pair it with a separate IDX website.
Follow Up Boss is a real estate CRM, not an IDX website platform. It calls itself “the real estate team OS” and says it integrates with more than 250 lead sources and website providers. Its IDX page is about connecting third-party IDX websites to Follow Up Boss, so teams choose a website provider separately. Follow Up Boss has been owned by Zillow since December 2023 and continues to run as a standalone product.
Pricing (as listed on Follow Up Boss’s site, November 2026): Grow at $69 per user per month ($58 billed annually), Pro at $499/mo for 10 users ($416 annually), and Platform at $1,000/mo for 30 users ($833 annually).

Which IDX platform is best for real estate teams?
For most teams, the deciding question is whether the website and CRM should be one system. When they are, lead routing, follow-up, and reporting run on the same data, and nothing falls through a gap between two vendors. That points teams toward the all-in-one platforms: Sierra Interactive, Real Geeks, Lofty, BoldTrail, Brivity, and CINC. Luxury Presence fits teams for whom brand presentation is the top priority.
If your team already runs a CRM it likes, especially Follow Up Boss, a website or lead generation layer such as AgentLoft, Ylopo, or AgentFire can connect to it. Budget for both subscriptions, and confirm exactly what syncs between them.
Then look at where you want leads to come from. If organic search is meant to be a primary source, weigh SEO capabilities heavily: community pages, editable SEO fields, and indexable listing pages. If you plan to buy leads through managed ads, compare ad management fees and what happens to your lead flow when spending stops.
What should you ask in an IDX platform demo?
Demos are built to impress, so steer them toward what predicts results:
- Show me live search on my MLS, on a phone. Is it as fast as the portals buyers are used to?
- How often does my site refresh from the MLS feed? Ask for the actual interval.
- Show me how I create a community page. Can I build and edit them myself, and is there a limit?
- Walk me through a test lead. Where does a registration go, and how fast does follow-up start? If the CRM is a separate product, what syncs and what doesn’t?
- What’s the total first-year cost? Include setup, contract terms, users, MLS fees, ad management fees, and any separate CRM.
- Who owns the website, domain, and lead data if we leave?
- Who handles redirects if I’m migrating? Losing old URLs can cost rankings you’ve already earned.
Once you’ve chosen, use our launch checklist before you go live.
Frequently asked questions about IDX website platforms
What is the best IDX website for real estate agents?
The best IDX website depends on how you work. All-in-one platforms such as Sierra Interactive, Real Geeks, Lofty, BoldTrail, Brivity, and CINC combine the IDX website with a CRM. AgentLoft, Ylopo, and AgentFire fit agents who want a website and lead generation platform that connects to a CRM they already use.
Do IDX website platforms include a CRM?
Many do. Sierra Interactive, Real Geeks, Lofty, BoldTrail, Brivity, CINC, and Luxury Presence include their own CRM. AgentLoft and Ylopo connect to a separate CRM, and AgentFire highlights integrations with outside CRMs. Follow Up Boss is itself a CRM that teams pair with a separate IDX website.
Does Follow Up Boss include an IDX website?
Follow Up Boss is a real estate CRM. Its IDX page is about connecting third-party IDX websites to Follow Up Boss, so teams that use it choose a website provider separately and connect the two.
How much does an IDX website cost?
Among the platforms in this guide that publish pricing, costs start around $165 per month plus a setup fee for a website-first platform and run to several hundred dollars per month for team platforms that include a CRM. Several vendors don’t publish pricing. Compare setup fees, contract terms, per-user fees, ad management fees, and any separate CRM subscription, not just the monthly price.
Which IDX platforms are built on WordPress?
Among the platforms in this guide, AgentFire builds on WordPress, and Lofty offers a WordPress IDX plugin alongside its hosted sites. Luxury Presence states that it is not built on WordPress. The other vendors either host sites on their own platforms or don’t say.
