Why Agents Switch to NurtureFlow

💸

Save $70–$840 per month

Follow Up Boss charges $99/seat/month. With a team of 3 agents, that's $297/month vs. NurtureFlow's $29 flat. Same automation, dramatically lower cost.

⚡

Set up in under 10 minutes

Import your CSV, pick a cadence, and your first follow-ups start going out. No 3-hour onboarding calls or 47-step configuration wizards.

🤖

LionDesk and FUB charge extra for AI features. NurtureFlow includes an AI ad creative generator so you can run Meta campaigns without hiring a copywriter.

📊

ROI you can actually measure

📱

No per-message charges

Email sequences are included in your $29/month, and texting will be too when it launches — no per-message billing. With FUB and LionDesk, messaging costs sit on top of your monthly subscription.

🛡️

No-risk start

30-day money-back guarantee. If NurtureFlow isn't working for you in the first month, we'll refund you fully. No questions, no hassle.

What Real Agents Say

Real Results

vs Follow Up Boss

"I was paying $297/month for FUB with my team of 3. Switched to NurtureFlow and haven't looked back. The auto-enrollment by lead type is exactly what I needed."

Michael K.

Realtor, Austin TX

Easy Switch

vs LionDesk

"LionDesk had a steep learning curve. NurtureFlow had me running sequences the same afternoon I signed up. CSV import worked perfectly on the first try."

Sarah R.

Team Lead, Phoenix AZ

ROI Upgrade

vs FUB + separate tools

"I was paying for FUB plus a separate AI tool for ad copy. NurtureFlow replaced both. The ROI dashboard actually tells me which lead sources are converting."

James T.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. $29/month is your total cost. Unlimited contacts, unlimited users, email sequences included — and texting when it launches, at no extra cost. No per-seat fees, no add-ons, no surprise invoices. If you need AI features or advanced automation, they're in the plan — not behind a paywall.

Follow Up Boss charges per agent. A team of 3 pays $297/month. NurtureFlow's flat $29 covers your entire team. For solo agents, that's $29 vs $99. For teams, the savings scale dramatically. We built a product that earns money at $29/month — not one that needs $99+ just to be viable.

Yes. NurtureFlow accepts standard CSV imports. Export your contacts from FUB or LionDesk as CSV, import them into NurtureFlow, and your lead-type-matched sequences will begin automatically. The import maps to lead_type (New Lead, Past Client, Sphere of Influence) for automatic enrollment.

Email automation, yes — SMS is coming soon while we move to a new messaging carrier. Your contacts are auto-enrolled in sequences matching their lead type. The dashboard shows upcoming follow-ups so you can send, skip, or adjust before they fire. Overdue follow-ups are auto-dispatched by the system — you don't need to manually trigger them.

Your data is yours. You can export all contacts, sequences, and history as CSV at any time from your dashboard. After cancellation, data is retained for 90 days before permanent deletion per our privacy policy. We're a small, focused company — your retention matters to us.

Most agents are sending their first follow-ups within 15 minutes of signing up. CSV import, lead type assignment, and sequence selection take about 5 minutes. The pre-built real estate cadences are ready to go — you just pick which one fits each contact's profile.
