Head-to-head comparison

Jtek vs LionDesk

LionDesk closed its doors in September 2025. If you're still scrambling for a new home, here's why agents are landing at Jtek — and how to migrate in under an hour.

The pick for agents
Jtek

The CRM built for real estate agents, by a real estate agent. Every feature is there because a closing depended on it.

Best for: solo agents and small teams (1–10) who want one login for leads, pipeline, follow-ups, calendar, texting, and their website.
Better elsewhere
LionDesk

A real estate CRM that operated from 2014 until Lone Wolf Technologies sunset the product in September 2025. No longer accepting new accounts.

Best for: nobody, currently. The product was discontinued in September 2025. Existing customers were given migration windows to move to Lone Wolf's other products or competing CRMs.

The real difference

LionDesk is gone. Here's where to land.

If you're a former LionDesk user, the goal isn't a perfect feature match. It's getting your business running again on a CRM that won't disappear next year.

Jtek: built around an agent's day
From missed call to signed contract
  • Imports LionDesk contact CSVs in seconds — custom fields, tags, notes, all preserved.
  • Built-in SMS, drip, and AI follow-up replaces every LionDesk feature with a modern equivalent.
  • Missed-call auto-text and IG/TikTok DM auto-reply — features LionDesk never shipped.
  • Flat $60/mo. No per-seat pricing. No surprise bills.
  • Direct setup with Jesse, an agent. Most former LionDesk users are migrated in an hour.
LionDesk: discontinued September 2025
Owned by Lone Wolf Technologies, sunset announced
  • Started as an indie CRM with text + video — known for affordability and the LionBot AI feature.
  • Acquired by Lone Wolf Technologies in 2021, sunset for the product was announced in 2025.
  • No new accounts accepted. Existing users migrated off through 2025.
  • Texting, video, and drip features no longer maintained — agents need a replacement.
  • Most former LionDesk users are choosing all-in-one CRMs like Jtek over enterprise platforms.

I went from missing 30% of my follow-ups to never missing one. Close rate jumped in the first month.

FAQ

What real estate agents ask us

Short answers. No fluff.

Is LionDesk really gone?

Yes. Lone Wolf Technologies announced the sunset in 2025 and migrated existing customers off through that year. The product no longer accepts new accounts and existing customers needed to migrate to a new CRM.

How do I move my LionDesk contacts to Jtek?

If you exported your contacts before the sunset, you have a CSV ready to import. Jtek imports contacts, custom fields, and tags in a few clicks. Most former LionDesk users are fully migrated and live in under an hour.

What about my drip campaigns and templates?

Jtek includes a built-in drip and SMS engine — you can rebuild your sequences in under an evening. Jesse personally helps former LionDesk users rebuild their workflows during onboarding.

What about a free trial?

14 days free, cancel anytime. You can test the full product — including missed-call auto-reply, pipeline, AI assistant, and social integrations — before committing.

Switch from LionDesk in under an hour.

Export your contacts, drop them into Jtek, keep your existing IDX site running. No migration tax, no per-seat math, no contract.
