03What changes
What changes when you switch.
The whole platform, nothing to connect
Showcase IDX does one job: listing search inside your WordPress site. Tanero is the site, the CRM and the follow-up together, so there is nothing to connect.
Your site hosted and edited for you
With Showcase IDX you keep running your WordPress site and the plugin adds search to it. Tanero hosts your site, and ORBIT edits pages, headlines and titles when you ask in plain words.
Website, CRM and AI in one price
Showcase IDX costs about CA$133 a month plus your hosting and CRM. Tanero Solo is CA$349 with the website, CRM, local number, calling, texting and AI included.
