If you have tried to budget for Zurple, you have hit the same wall we did: the vendor publishes no pricing at all, and the third-party numbers flatly contradict each other. One source says $149 a month. Another says $299. A third says $399 per site. All three are talking about the same product.
Here is the thing those sources rarely admit: they were written in different years. Zurple’s packaging has shifted, the reviews have not all kept up, and the result is a pricing picture that looks broken but is really just undated. So we did the boring work. We pulled every figure we could find, dated each one, and reconciled the ranges into a single timeline you can actually budget from.
We also dug into a question most Zurple reviews skip entirely: whether the product is still being actively developed. The answer matters when you are signing a reported 6 month contract, and we lay out the facts, not a hit piece, below.
Every reported Zurple price, dated
Nothing in this table comes from Zurple itself, because Zurple’s site carries no pricing anywhere (we checked zurple.com directly on July 17, 2026, and the whole funnel is demo-gated). Every row is a third-party report, and the date column is the most important column on the page.
| Line item | Reported figure | Source and date | Official or reported? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base subscription | $149/mo, including a $10 data services fee | The Close, updated 2024-01-09 | Reported (most recent dated figure) |
| Additional websites | $100/mo each | The Close, 2024-01-09 | Reported |
| Search (Google) leads | $35 to $40 per lead, varies by city | The Close, 2024-01-09 | Reported |
| Pipeline Boost social leads | $10 per lead | The Close, 2024-01-09 | Reported |
| Minimum contract | 6 months | The Close, 2024-01-09 | Reported |
| Base subscription (older era) | $299/mo | Hooquest, 2024 (figures likely 2022 to 2023 era) | Reported, historical |
| MLS fee (older era) | $10/mo per MLS | Hooquest, 2024 | Reported, historical |
| Team of 5 users (older era) | $150/mo | Hooquest, 2024 | Reported, historical |
| Minimum buyer ad spend (older era) | $250/mo | Hooquest, 2024 | Reported, historical |
| Seller leads program (older era) | $450/mo | Hooquest, 2024 | Reported, historical |
| Lead Intelligence add-on (older era) | $150/mo | Hooquest, 2024 | Reported, historical |
| Setup fee (older era) | $799 | Hooquest, 2024 | Reported, historical |
| Per-site pricing (undated) | $399/site/mo + $250 ad budget + ~$200 exclusivity | Review42 / SoftwareSuggest, undated | Reported, undated |
| Onboarding (undated) | $199 to $499 | Review42 / SoftwareSuggest, undated | Reported, undated |
| Any figure from Zurple itself | None published | zurple.com, checked 2026-07-17 | Official: pricing is demo-gated |
If you take one thing from this page: there is no official Zurple price. Anyone quoting one number as “the” Zurple price is quoting a snapshot of a moving target.
Reconciling $149 vs $299 vs $399: it is a timeline, not a contradiction
Read the figures as a sequence and the confusion mostly dissolves.
The $399 per site figure appears in undated reviews on Review42 and SoftwareSuggest, bundled with a $250 minimum ad budget, roughly $200 for area exclusivity, and onboarding fees between $199 and $499. Because these pieces carry no update dates, we treat them as the oldest and least reliable layer. They describe a per-site pricing model that no dated source repeats.
The $299 base figure comes from Hooquest’s Zurple review, published in 2024 but describing a fee structure that reads like the 2022 to 2023 era: $299 per month base, $10 per MLS connection, $150 per month for a team of 5 users, a $250 per month minimum buyer ad spend, $450 per month for the seller leads program, $150 per month for the Lead Intelligence add-on, and a $799 setup fee. Stack all of that and a fully loaded solo setup lands somewhere north of $1,200 a month plus setup. That is the version of Zurple most “Zurple is expensive” commentary is reacting to.
The $149 base figure is the anchor we use, because it is the most recent credibly dated number: The Close’s Zurple review, updated January 9, 2024, reports $149 per month including a $10 data services fee, additional websites at $100 per month, search leads at $35 to $40 each varying by city, Pipeline Boost social leads at $10 each, and a 6 month minimum contract. That is a meaningfully different shape: a low base with a la carte per-lead fees instead of a high base with mandatory ad spend.
Our read: Zurple appears to have moved from bundled ad-spend packaging toward a lower base plus per-lead model somewhere before early 2024. We say “appears” deliberately. With no official pricing page there is no way to confirm the current structure without a sales call, and a demo-gated vendor can change numbers any week without leaving a public trace.
What a realistic monthly bill looks like (reported math)
Using The Close’s January 2024 figures as the anchor, here is the budgeting math for a solo agent. Every number below inherits the “reported” label.
A minimal setup is the $149 base with no purchased leads: $149 per month, or roughly $894 over the reported 6 month minimum. That gets you the behavioral nurture engine working leads you generate elsewhere.
A working setup with lead flow changes fast. At $35 to $40 per search lead, 20 Google leads a month adds $700 to $800, putting you around $850 to $950 per month. Lean on the reported $10 Pipeline Boost social leads instead and 40 of them adds $400, for roughly $550 a month total. Social leads are cheaper for a reason: expect lower intent and a longer nurture runway, which, to be fair, is exactly the game Zurple’s automation is built to play.
Add a second website for another market at a reported $100 per month and a two-site, moderate-lead-flow setup lands in the $700 to $1,100 range. That is still well under the four-figure entry points of the full-stack platforms, which is the entire argument for Zurple in 2026: it is the budget behavioral-nurture play. For contrast, Ylopo’s reported entry cost starts around $1,000 or more per month once ad spend is counted, and CINC’s pricing sits in similar full-stack territory. If you are choosing between those tiers, our Ylopo alternatives breakdown maps the whole spectrum, Zurple included.
What you are actually buying: behavioral automation, not conversational AI
One honesty note before the diligence section, because it affects whether the price is a bargain or a trap. Zurple’s engine watches lead behavior on your IDX site, things like which listings a lead revisits and how their search narrows, and fires templated emails and texts that reference that behavior. Zurple’s own homepage claims speak to volume: 85,000 leads “last year,” 1.4 million SMS and email messages “last year,” and 210+ messages per lead on average. Those are vendor-claimed figures, and note the elastic “last year” framing on an undated page.
Templated behavioral automation is not the same thing as a two-way conversational AI that can answer a lead’s question at 2 a.m. If that is what you want, that is a different product category: see our guide to AI ISA tools for real estate for what true conversational follow-up looks like and costs. Zurple’s per-message intelligence is trigger logic, and at a reported $149 base, trigger logic priced like trigger logic is a fair deal. Just do not buy it expecting an AI ISA.
Is Zurple still being developed? A factual diligence check
This is the section we could not find in any other Zurple pricing article, and it matters more than $50 either way on the base fee, because the reported minimum commitment is 6 months.
Here is what we can verify as of July 17, 2026, checking zurple.com directly and the parent company’s announcements.
Signs of life. The Zurple site is maintained: the footer reads “COPYRIGHT 2026 ZURPLE,” so someone is updating the shell. The parent organization is clearly active. In December 2024, Constellation Real Estate Group announced it was unifying Market Leader, Top Producer, Showcase IDX, Diverse Solutions, Zurple, SmartZip, and Offrs under the Constellation1 brand (announced via PRWeb and constellation1.com). Through 2025, Constellation1 kept moving: HousingWire reported four new VP appointments in January 2025, the company launched a Data Labs initiative in February 2025 (WAV Group, February 18, 2025), and it placed 11 products on the 2025 Tech 200 list.
Signs worth questioning. The flagship proof stat on Zurple’s homepage is “$5.1M commission income facilitated in 2022.” As of mid-2026, that number is four years stale, sitting on the front page of a product asking you for a reported half-year commitment. The companion stats use the undated “last year” phrasing, which tells you nothing about which year. And nowhere on the Zurple homepage is Constellation1 or Constellation Real Estate Group mentioned at all, so the brand’s own storefront gives you no visibility into who owns it or where it sits in a portfolio of seven-plus consolidated products.
What this adds up to. Factually: Zurple is owned by an active, hiring, shipping parent company, and its website is maintained. Also factually: the product’s public marketing has not produced a fresh headline result since 2022, and consolidation eras are historically when portfolio products get maintained rather than advanced. We are not claiming Zurple is abandoned. We are saying the public evidence cannot tell you either way, which turns this into a sales-call question. Ask directly: what shipped in the last 12 months, what is on the roadmap, and how many engineers work on Zurple specifically. Vague answers to all three are themselves an answer.
This diligence pattern applies across the consolidating mid-market, by the way. It is the same homework we recommend in our BoldTrail alternatives rundown, where Zurple shows up as the budget switch target for agents fleeing four-figure platform bills.
One family note worth knowing before the call: Zurple and Market Leader share the same owner under the Constellation1 brand, and the sister product runs on a very different guaranteed-lead model. We broke down its numbers in the Market Leader pricing guide.
What to negotiate on the demo call
Since every figure on this page is reported, the sales call is where the real pricing page lives. Walk in with this list.
Get the current base and fee structure in writing. Open with the January 2024 reported figures ($149 base, $10 to $40 per lead, $100 per extra site) and ask the rep to confirm or correct each line. A rep correcting a stale figure downward has happened before in this category; a rep who will not commit numbers to email is a red flag.
Pressure the contract length. The reported 6 month minimum is a negotiation opener, not a law of physics. Ask for month-to-month at a premium, or a 30 day out clause if lead quality misses an agreed bar.
Pin down per-lead economics. Reported search lead costs vary $35 to $40 by city: get your city’s number, the expected monthly volume, and whether there is a cap or floor. Ask what percentage of Pipeline Boost social leads have valid phone numbers.
Ask the development questions. Last 12 months of shipped features, current roadmap, team size. You now know why.
Ask about setup and onboarding fees. Older reports cite $799 setup and $199 to $499 onboarding. If those fees are gone, get that in writing too; if they survive, they are the most waivable line on any quote in this industry.
Then run the leads you do buy through a real follow-up process. Our field guide to AI-powered lead follow-up covers how to layer speed-to-lead on top of whatever nurture engine you pick.
If the templated-automation reality above is your dealbreaker, we mapped the honest exits, from true conversational AI to plain pay-per-lead, in our guide to the best Zurple alternatives. Curious about the third Constellation1 sister? The Top Producer pricing guide completes the family map.
Our verdict on Zurple’s pricing
Zurple in 2026 is the budget play in a category where the alternatives commonly start at $1,000 or more per month all-in. Anchored on the most recent credible report ($149 per month base plus $10 to $40 per lead, The Close, January 2024), a working solo setup lands roughly in the $550 to $950 monthly range: genuinely cheap for automated behavioral nurture with lead generation bolted on. The catches are real, though. Nothing is official, the older $299 to $399 era proves the packaging moves, the reported 6 month minimum locks you in while the homepage’s freshest proof point is from 2022, and the automation is templated, not conversational. Buy it as a budget nurture engine with your eyes open, get every number in writing, and make the rep answer the roadmap question before you sign.
Where the figures on this page come from
Every price here was read from the vendor’s own pricing page on 4 September 2026, not from an aggregator or a review site. Each figure carries that date, because pricing in this market moves and a claim without a date is not checkable.
The pages we read
Buildium publishes $62, $192 and $400 a month plus a detailed fee schedule. DoorLoop publishes $69, $149 and $209 a month billed yearly with per unit equivalents. TurboTenant publishes a free tier plus $12.42 and $16.48. TenantCloud publishes $15 to $50 a month on annual billing. RentRedi publishes $12 a month on the annual plan. Hemlane, Rentec Direct and Landlord Studio all publish in full, as do Follow Up Boss at $69 per user, Wise Agent at $49, and Placester from $59.
The ones we could not read
AppFolio, Innago, Top Producer and Hostaway did not yield a figure to the same method that read every vendor above, and Lofty’s pricing page carried no plan rates. We are not presenting that as proof they publish nothing, because a failed read is not evidence of absence. Treat any figure for those five from elsewhere as unverified.
What we do not do
We do not carry a figure we cannot source to the vendor. Where a number circulates and cannot be traced, we say so and withdraw it rather than repeating it with a hedge, and we have withdrawn our own published figures on that basis more than once.
What agent CRMs and lead platforms actually charge
This half of the market divides into CRMs you fill with your own leads and platforms that sell you the leads as well, and the second is several times the price of the first. Here is each alternative to zurple pricing, read on 4 September 2026.
Follow Up Boss, $69 per user per month, published plainly
Follow Up Boss publishes $69 per user per month plus tax, with a yearly option giving two months free and calling as a $39 per user add-on. It is a CRM rather than a lead source, which is the important distinction: you are buying the system that works leads you already have. At five agents that is $4,140 a year before the calling add-on, so price it at your real headcount rather than at one seat.
Wise Agent, $49 a month, and the cheapest published option here
Wise Agent publishes $49 a month, falling to $42 billed annually at $499 a year, with a higher tier at $69 and $59. Its annual toggle is marked as saving 15% and the saving holds. For a solo agent or a small team this is the published floor of the category, and the gap to a lead platform is an order of magnitude rather than a percentage.
Placester, from $59 a month, sold around the website
Placester publishes $59, $79 and $129 a month with a 20% annual discount, positioned around IDX websites and marketing rather than lead generation. If your gap is presence rather than pipeline, that is a materially cheaper problem to solve than buying leads, and it is worth being honest with yourself about which one you actually have.
The lead platforms, where almost nobody publishes
The platforms that sell leads alongside software, Lofty, CINC, Ylopo, Zurple, Sierra Interactive, Real Geeks, Market Leader and BoldTrail among them, largely quote rather than publish. We could not read a plan figure from Lofty’s own pricing page on 4 September 2026. That is normal in this corner of the market and it means your only real leverage is a published CRM priced at your team size, plus a clear view of what you currently pay per closed transaction.
Work out your cost per closing before any demo
Take last year: total spend on leads and CRM, divided by transactions closed from those leads. That single number is the benchmark every quote has to beat, and most agents have never calculated it. Without it you are comparing monthly figures against each other rather than against the thing that pays for them, which is how a $2,000 a month platform gets renewed for three years on the strength of a feeling.
