03What changes
What changes when you switch.
AI follow-up on the entry plan
Sierra's pricing page says Lead Engage is not available on Starter; Essential plus Lead Engage comes to about CA$947 a month. Tanero includes ORBIT on Solo, at CA$349.
No 12-month agreement
Every Sierra plan runs under a 12-month agreement. Tanero is month to month: you can cancel from Billing whenever you want and keep access to the end of the period you paid for.
Built for one realtor
Sierra offers more website designs, lead routing, an agent leaderboard and guided 90-day onboarding on Growth. Tanero leaves out team features because each CRM serves one realtor, and puts ORBIT's calls, texts and email on every plan.
