03What changes
What changes when you switch.
ORBIT makes the calls for you
Follow Up Boss organizes leads and automates reminders and messages with Action Plans, while you or your agents make the calls. In Tanero, ORBIT places and answers the calls, sends the texts and writes the emails, either waiting for your OK (Approval mode, the default) or acting on its own (Auto).
A website in the same plan
Follow Up Boss connects to the website and lead sources you already pay for. Tanero includes a realtor website with listing search, visitor chat and booking, plus property pages ORBIT designs on request, so a form lead lands in the CRM without a connector.
One private CRM for one realtor
Lead routing across agents is central to Follow Up Boss, and its Pro plan covers 10 users for US$499 a month. Tanero gives each realtor one private CRM with one user, and ORBIT keeps it current after every call, text and email.
Website, AI calls and follow-up in one plan
Grow plus Calling comes to about CA$152 a month per user, well under Tanero Solo at CA$349. The gap pays for the website, AI call answering in 100+ languages and AI follow-up, with a dedicated local number and no setup fee listed.
04Switching

Bring your contacts
Take the contact list you keep in Follow Up Boss and paste it into a conversation with ORBIT, or attach the file. ORBIT adds each person to your Tanero CRM and skips anyone already there.
Connect email and calendar
Connect Gmail or Outlook and Google Calendar once. ORBIT then writes from your own address and books only inside your working hours and booking rules.
Go live on your local number
Use the dedicated local number that comes with Tanero for calls and texts, and choose whether your mobile rings first or ORBIT answers.

What do Follow Up Boss reviews say?
Independent sites such as G2 and Capterra carry many Follow Up Boss reviews. We do not score competitors. Tanero is built for one realtor, with ORBIT answering and placing calls in 100+ languages.
Is there a Follow Up Boss alternative made for Canada?
Tanero is built for realtors in Ontario: prices in Canadian dollars, a dedicated local number and calls answered in 100+ languages. Plans run month to month with no setup fee, and you are up and running in under 5 minutes.
Does Follow Up Boss include a website?
Its pricing page talks about connecting any lead source and website rather than providing one. Tanero includes a realtor website with listing search, plus property pages that carry a booking calendar.
Can several agents share one Tanero account, like a Follow Up Boss team?
No. Each Tanero CRM has one user, the realtor. ORBIT keeps that private CRM current after every call, text and email.
Do I sign a contract with either?
Follow Up Boss shows no contract and cancel any time on its pricing page. Tanero is month to month; after you cancel, access continues to the end of the period you paid for.
