Jtek vs Follow Up Boss

Both built for real estate agents. One is per-user and legacy. The other is flat-rate and modern. Here's the honest breakdown.

The modern pick
Jtek

One flat rate, one login, everything built in. AI assistant, social auto-posting, and website builder included.

Best for: solo agents and small teams (1–10) who want modern tooling without per-seat creep.
The legacy pick

The agent CRM that most brokerages have used for years. Solid lead routing and accountability dashboards. Per-seat pricing.

Best for: 15+ agent brokerages with established accountability workflows and tolerance for per-seat billing.

The real difference

FUB is solid — but it's from a different era

Follow Up Boss was built in 2011. It's a great CRM that never got rebuilt for how agents actually work in 2026 — short video, DMs, AI-drafted follow-ups.

Jtek: modern tools, flat rate
Built for where attention lives now
  • DM auto-reply on Instagram and TikTok — where today's buyers actually message agents.
  • AI drafts every follow-up, every call summary, every DM reply. You edit, you send.
  • Website builder + funnels + link-in-bio included — no Mailchimp, no Calendly, no Linktree bills.
  • $60/mo flat. Add agents at zero marginal cost. A 10-agent team still pays $60.
  • Direct setup with Jesse, a working agent — not a scripted onboarding rep.
Follow Up Boss: the legacy option
Accountability-first, per-user pricing
  • Strong lead-routing + manager dashboards if you run a 15+ agent brokerage.
  • Mature integrations catalog — 250+ third-party tools.
  • No built-in website, no landing pages, no social auto-posting.
  • $69/user/mo compounds fast. A 10-agent team pays $499–$690/mo before dialer and add-ons.
  • Calling is a paid add-on. AI features are limited and bolted on.

I run a team of 6 agents and Jtek keeps everyone aligned. No more spreadsheets, no more missed leads.

FAQ

What agents switching from FUB ask us

Short answers. No fluff.

Can I import my FUB contacts into Jtek?

Yes. FUB exports a CSV with contacts, tags, and notes. Jtek imports it in one click and preserves your pipeline stages, tags, and activity history. Most migrations finish in under 30 minutes.

What about FUB action plans — do those transfer?

Action-plan logic doesn't transfer directly because Jtek uses a different workflow engine, but Jtek ships with pre-built sequences covering the same use cases (new lead follow-up, post-showing, nurture). Most agents find the Jtek versions cleaner.

FUB has lead-routing for teams — does Jtek?

Yes. Jtek supports round-robin, first-to-claim, and custom-rule routing. For brokerages with 15+ agents running tight lead-routing SLAs, FUB still has an edge in manager tooling. For teams under 10, Jtek's routing is equivalent and the flat-rate pricing wins.

Is the free trial really free?

14 days, cancel anytime. You can import your FUB contacts and test the full Jtek workflow — missed-call auto-text, social DMs, AI follow-ups — before deciding.
