Follow Up Boss vs ProspectKeeper
The Follow Up Boss alternative with the dialer already built in
ProspectKeeper gives a real-estate business one place for the work that happens after the lead arrives: the follow-up you owe, the handoff between the four people who touch a deal, every conversation filed against the client, and the commission at the end. The dialer, texting and email campaigns are already in it — not a per-user add-on you unlock later. Here is how that compares with Follow Up Boss.

A partner, not a vendor
You are not buying a seat licence from a company that will never know your name. ProspectKeeper is small and deliberately so: you get the people who build it, a weekly live coaching group on the Coaching tier, and month-to-month prices published on the pricing page. When you tell us the follow-up flow is wrong for how you actually work, that goes to the person who writes the code, not into a portal.
Where ProspectKeeper is different
All of it ships today on ProspectKeeper Connect at $99/month — and the pipeline itself is free to start on, for as long as you like.
The score is commission, not activity
Gross Commission Income is a first-class part of the product: a yearly goal per agent, commission tracked against it as deals close, and pacing that tells you how far ahead or behind you are while there is still time to act. Activity counts are a means here; the money earned is the score.
Email, texting and calling are in the product, not bolted on
Campaigns, two-way texting and a browser dialer with recording and voicemail are part of ProspectKeeper. You are not wiring up a separate mailer, a separate SMS tool and a separate dialer, and you are not paying a per-seat add-on to unlock them. Email sending is included in the plan; texting and calling are metered from one prepaid balance, so a quiet month costs less than a busy one.
Built for the handoff between four people
Telemarketer, agent, client care manager and closing coordinator are modelled as real roles on the record, each with their own dashboard and primary-assignment defaults — not as tags, and not as a note someone has to read. Most real-estate work crosses people, and the handoff is where it usually breaks.
The client is the record, not the transaction
A contact can exist with no deal at all and still be worked. Close a deal and the history, notes and next follow-up stay on the person, so repeat business opens on the same file beside the sale you already closed. Every client also carries a filing number that stays readable years later.
Why choose ProspectKeeper
Follow Up Boss sells the CRM and then sells calling on top of it, so the dialer your agents use every day sits on a separate line of the bill. In ProspectKeeper the dialer, two-way texting and email campaigns are all inside ProspectKeeper Connect, and the record underneath them is built for the way real-estate work actually moves: a client file that outlives the deal, and four named roles that carry it between the people who touch it. If your business is the work after the lead arrives, this is the shape that fits it.
Questions
Is ProspectKeeper a good Follow Up Boss alternative?
Yes, for the work that decides whether a lead ever becomes a closing: the follow-up you owe, the handoff between the four people who touch a deal, every conversation filed against the client, and commission tracked against a yearly goal. That is the part most agents lose deals in, and it is the part ProspectKeeper is built around.
Do I need a separate dialer or texting tool?
Everything is already in one product: a browser dialer with recording and voicemail, two-way texting, and email campaigns. Calling and texting draw on a single prepaid balance; email sending is included in the plan. On Follow Up Boss, calling is a paid per-user add-on on the entry plan, so the dialer arrives as a second line on the bill.
Does ProspectKeeper connect to Gmail or Outlook?
You send from ProspectKeeper — campaigns, templates and one-off sends — and every reply is captured against the contact it belongs to, so the conversation lives on the client record instead of buried in your inbox. There is no Gmail or Outlook inbox connection today; the sending and the filing happen here.
Can I import my contacts from Follow Up Boss?
Yes — contacts come across from a spreadsheet, with a template to match your columns. If you are carrying a large or messy list, write to hello@prospectkeeper.com before you commit and we will help you plan the move.
