03What changes
What changes when you switch.
One AI partner instead of add-on agents
Lofty lists AI lead scoring and task prioritization in its CRM, and sells Sales, Social and Homeowner agents as add-ons. In Tanero one AI partner, ORBIT, handles calls, texts, email, social posts and the CRM; Pro and Ultra add AI Employees that ORBIT leads.
Property pages for the ads you run
Lofty sells digital ad programs with estimated buyer and seller lead counts and a 20% management fee. Tanero does not run ads or sell leads. ORBIT makes property pages with short links you can use in ads and posts you run yourself.
Three published plans
Lofty says its pricing varies with the platform package, seat count, upgrades and lead programs. Tanero has three published plans; extra call minutes are prepaid packages, and extra texts, emails or AI usage are added only when you choose to.
04Switching
Moving from Lofty without starting over.

Point calls to your Tanero number
