03What changes
What changes when you switch.
LionDesk has closed; your contacts need a new home
On 16 May 2025 HousingWire reported that Lone Wolf Technologies, which bought LionDesk in 2021, was discontinuing it. The CRM stayed running through September 2025 so users could move their data, and Lone Wolf pointed them to Relationships, sold separately.
Price, contract and texting, up front
The CRMs we compared differ most on three things: the monthly price in Canadian dollars, the contract length and whether texting is included or sold as credits. Tanero publishes its price in Canadian dollars, runs month to month and includes two-way texting from your local number.
More done for you
Tanero suits a LionDesk user who worked alone and wants more done for them: ORBIT answers and places calls in 100+ languages, texts and emails clients, and keeps a private CRM current. It also includes a website.
Month to month, in Canadian dollars
IXACT Contact ($55 a month) and Wise Agent (US$49) are both month to month, and so is Tanero, which bills in Canadian dollars and adds ORBIT's calls, texts and email to the CRM. Each Tanero CRM has one user: the realtor.
04Switching

Paste the list into a conversation with ORBIT, or attach the file. ORBIT adds every new person to your CRM and skips the ones already there.
Connect and go live
Link Gmail or Outlook and Google Calendar, then start using your dedicated local number for calls and texts.
Questions
Asked before switching.
Is LionDesk shutting down?
It already has. HousingWire reported in May 2025 that Lone Wolf Technologies would discontinue LionDesk and keep it running through September 2025. In October 2026 the LionDesk pricing page returns 'not found'. If you saved your contacts, ORBIT can add them to a Tanero CRM and skip duplicates.
What replaced LionDesk?
Lone Wolf directed users to Relationships, its newer CRM. HousingWire reported that Relationships is sold separately at pricing comparable to LionDesk's. Tanero, compared on this page, gives one Ontario realtor a CRM, a website and ORBIT from CA$349 a month.
How much did LionDesk cost?
LionDesk no longer sells plans. HousingWire, citing Inman, reported that LionDesk started as low as US$25 a month for some accounts. Tanero publishes its prices: CA$349, CA$599 or CA$999 a month.
What is the best LionDesk alternative in Canada?
Tanero is built for one Ontario realtor moving on from LionDesk: a private CRM, a website and ORBIT, which handles calls, texts and email, from CA$349 a month with no setup fee and under 5 minutes to go live.
Can I bring my old LionDesk contacts into Tanero?
Yes, if you have them in a file or a list. Paste the list into a conversation with ORBIT, or attach the file, and ORBIT adds the people and skips duplicates.
Are LionDesk reviews still useful?
Reviews written before 2025 describe a product you can no longer buy. Tanero offers a live demo you can watch before you sign up.
