The real difference

LionDesk is gone. Here's where to land.

If you're a former LionDesk user, the goal isn't a perfect feature match. It's getting your business running again on a CRM that won't disappear next year.

Jtek: built around an agent's day

From missed call to signed contract

  • Imports LionDesk contact CSVs in seconds. Custom fields, tags, notes, all preserved.
  • Built-in SMS, drip, and AI follow-up replaces every LionDesk feature with a modern equivalent.
  • Missed-call auto-text and IG/TikTok DM auto-reply, features LionDesk never shipped.
  • Flat $60/mo. No per-seat pricing. No surprise bills.
  • Direct setup help from the Jtek Support team. Most former LionDesk users are migrated in an hour.

LionDesk: discontinued September 2025

Owned by Lone Wolf Technologies, sunset announced

  • Started as an indie CRM with text + video. Known for affordability and the LionBot AI feature.
  • Acquired by Lone Wolf Technologies in 2021, sunset for the product was announced in 2025.
  • No new accounts accepted. Existing users migrated off through 2025.
  • Texting, video, and drip features no longer maintained, so agents need a replacement.
  • Most former LionDesk users are choosing all-in-one CRMs like Jtek over enterprise platforms.

FAQ

What real estate agents ask us

Short answers. No fluff.

Is LionDesk really gone?

Yes. Lone Wolf Technologies announced the sunset in 2025 and migrated existing customers off through that year. The product no longer accepts new accounts and existing customers needed to migrate to a new CRM.

How do I move my LionDesk contacts to Jtek?

If you exported your contacts before the sunset, you have a CSV ready to import. Jtek imports contacts, custom fields, and tags in a few clicks. Most former LionDesk users are fully migrated and live in under an hour.

What about my drip campaigns and templates?

Jtek includes a built-in drip and SMS engine. You can rebuild your sequences in under an evening. The Jtek Support team helps former LionDesk users rebuild their workflows during onboarding.

What about a free trial?

14 days free, cancel anytime. You can test the full product, including missed-call auto-reply, pipeline, AI assistant, and social integrations, before committing.
