ATG recommendation

Which should you choose?

These products answer different questions. Follow Up Boss answers 'is every lead being worked?'. Sisu answers 'how is the team performing, and where is each transaction?'.

Sisu is real-estate performance, accountability, transaction and operations software, and it officially positions itself alongside a CRM rather than as one. That makes it a specialized companion, not a Follow Up Boss replacement.

Teams that need both visibility and follow-up discipline may run both. Do not read the score difference as a substitution signal — they are scored within different jobs.

Frequently asked questions

Can Sisu replace Follow Up Boss?

Not as a CRM. Sisu officially positions itself alongside a CRM and focuses on performance, accountability, transaction and operations work, so teams generally keep a CRM alongside it.

Which should a growing team add first?

If follow-up is inconsistent, the CRM side comes first. If follow-up is solid but production visibility and accountability are missing, that is Sisu's territory.
